the statement can be expressed as "it is raining if and only if the ground is wet," making it a bi-conditional statement.

One can have certainty, as an attitude. I don't think it's right to say one can be certain, without a Crystal ball. I don't think it's right to say th...

Capitalism is based on a 'free miracle' in reasoning, that profit is the (couched in their terms) objective goal of Business practices. From there, Ca...

Via three AI models: "No, it is not logically sound to deny the antecedent in a bi-conditional proposition because it does not follow the rules of pro...

I think he claim only extends to instances in the past. Any application to future appointments would be speculation, and couldn't amount to knowledge,...

I agree. But if receiving a certain exact wavelength (termed Red, rather than the valence of it's presentation to an S being termed Red) causes a diff...

IT applies to anyone who thinks they have Morality figured out. You cannot reason with someone who bases their position on a free miracle at the begin...

Some thoughts: I take it that Direct Realists must, to a least a large degree, accept Physicalism. If that is so, these are brain states, not disposit...

I think, in line with Banno's comments(whether or not he would agree), its probably a good idea to not conflate 'conservative', 'right-wing' and 'evan...

If you are in the Nickelodeon Morality Crew TM then Mikie must be in the Nick Jr crew.

Im not sure I agree that we have any duty at all. But that is a much larger topic. In this specific discussion, I think it's fairly easy to loo at the...

:ok: Thank you mate, appreciate that.

I take Time to be nothing but the acknowledgement of before-after wrt states of affairs. Obviously, something insentient can't acknowledge this, but t...

I have made one. But given I expect this to either be missed or ignored, lets just move on to agreeing IQ is a fairly robust psychological measure.

I do not think this is hte right word. It is determined at the time, not previously, in any practical sense. Yes, your response is determined by the e...

I take Emotivism to entail Perspectivism - but the latter is restricted to moral statements, where the latter can essentially relate to any valence on...

An interesting little Zoom-in you've made there. These do not indicate what you've claimed. They bring to the fore the flaws in the study for ascertai...

I'm not sure how this relates. My point is that this Forum is not a good indicator of the real world. More power to you. That's a good project! Im uns...

Without delving into the history of my Internet reading, from what you've posted her entire passage about Huck Finn is risible. Fair enough :) Vehemen...

Twas a shitty joke (importantly linked within)

Do you not like Mondays?

Not at all. Plenty of absolutely fantastic women in Philosophy. Manne just isn't one on my account :) poke poke ;)

oh, so this has been ongoing. Okay. Less interesting.

Kate Manne? *sideeye* Tsk tsk Banno.

That is novel kind of retreat. Interesting.

For the first part: I don't take your response as engaging with what I put forth, but it also doesn't matter. You've totally adequately answered me ab...

The world within Samuel Sagan's books is immensely satisfying to me. Extremely complex (to the point that a Film of most of his books would be impossi...

You've explained how to answer it in your response. Do you think there are observations, measurements etc.. That we cannot know? One such could be the...

I think the chief result of this, though, is the bad side of what people call Peterson's followers. A commitment to words, only. Nietzsche didn't do a...

It really does now seem entirely unreasonable to support Israel's ongoing violence here. I really tried to stay on the fence, given there are legit gr...

This seems to contradict itself (not uncommon with Witt, and the main reason I think he's a load of bollocks). If we cannot speak on something, we nee...

We're on similar "pages' here hahaha. Likely, for reasons we agree on Nietzsche too :P

(this is not loaded by hte previous discussion - I think this is a really interesting question alone) Are you all good with the possibility that we ca...

I agree with all of this, being able to draw from the UK, Ireland, NZ and Aus. Christianity is rarely mentioned, even if when it actually is important...

I would recommend his interview with Helen Lewis, and another with Skavlan (in Scandanavia). Both show him in a very different light and use his work ...

I think you're conflating a few things about him here. HIs demeanor is not anxious at all. He's quick-tempered. Perhaps you're seeing that? He usually...

Twin studies. Not sure how you're missing your own comments? * flaws. I don't think you read these sources, then. THey are clearly not doing what they...

Haha. I agree with that, generally. Still here; looks like I will be for some time :) Yeah, but this is a weirdo forum for weirdos.

On this clarification, I am in the boat and paddling hard alongside you :)

This is your misrepresentation of the claim, sure. It doesn't involve the second part, in reality. Not sure what you were trying to do here, though. I...

I do not, as just noted. I have, multiple times, pointed out that Perception is not an experience, but a process involving the body's hardware. But, a...

To some degree, I agree, but this does nothing for the disagreement, imo. For Harris' "we should avoid" - this is a best-fit claim, not a moral one. I...

:ok: Encouraging, even if it's misguided. I like to see everything on the table.

I take some exception to this. Through at least three pages, this was the specific distinction I made, and was duly ignored by all comes by Hypericin ...

Other than a predisposition to assume his views require that type of personality, I can't see it (although, I allow for the year he actually had a bre...

I don't think you really read what I wrote, beyond that its not accepting your conclusions. I would just say, please re-read it, noting quite clearly ...

I wouldn't try to tease this one out. Not necessarily a comment about 180, but these types of political discussions are basically snowballs. No one ke...

I'm happy with that. Couple of hours either side works for me too!

There is absolutely no evidence the fact of life conforms to those criteria (which are a paradigm, and not infallible). NA is trying to work with thos...

I think its possible you're just not being honest here. I'm going to leave it, but suffice to say I'm of the opinion you are defending something no on...
