A mortgage is a line on a title to a property. A marriage is technically two signatures on a marriage certificate which contains the legally correct w...

This puts me in mind of some of Kant's CPR i've gone over in the alst couple of days. The relation of time is individual in that an external impressio...

Not this again. This is a clear question related to something you said. Would you mind answering it? If you don't want to, that's fine too.

Then, again, how could you possibly establish it's truth? If the case is that you just trust that it's true, I can get on with that - But i think Mich...

This seems to give up the claim of truth, then.

Sorry if i'm just dumb - to what specifically does this reply? I have a response in mind, but I don't want to waste time if it's not relevant.

Forgive me if i've been a Jump-The-Gun Jones lol

In light of? Other codes? If you're appealing to a COC to establish that one it's rules is a state of affairs(i.e is true), i'm unsure what else that ...

Cheers... Seems to comport, at the rough level my current understanding rests, anyhow.

Agreed. I do recall passages in which it's essentially said that by inference, we can't get away from accepting that there are things-in-themselves ca...

I was under the impression that metaethics was entirely about how, and why moral sentences could be true and then what makes them so, if they can be. ...

I would say i've somewhat experienced the same, but only in a commercial sense. Most random locals don't speak English in the, lets say, 'exotic' plac...

Ahh, i see, I see. Fair enough. I think you have misunderstood - I invented a scenario in which a COC was in place which forbade the kicking puppies, ...

My point is that number for English speakers includes those people. It doesn’t exclude them. So nothing to add to the number :)

those are overlapping numbers - not single-language speakers. But you’re right on the latter particularly in terms of volume of media

Hey Banno... I know we disagree, so just want to set aside the obvious disagreement here - I'm interested in how you envision one making the 'claim' (...

I think this isn't quite right - about 1.3bil English speakers and about 1.8bil Mandarin speakers last I saw anything about it..

What? I didn't charge you with anything. And what contradiction, sorry? I'm trying to have a discussion not a pissing match.

That much has been obvious for some time. Not understanding other people's perspectives makes it very, very hard to care. Well this has been adequatel...

I don't think so no. It can be the case that a code of conduct exists, and that a group or society accept, and live by, a code of conduct. So you coul...

This seems very much the reasonable view.

If you could please outline exactly how you deduced this, from my giving no notion of my view on either the quote, or the response, that would be nice...

Realise you didn't ask me, but it's apt to my considerations of the discussion - I don't think it could be the case, as it's a judgement, not a state ...

It isn't. I gave you the quote, and an independent response to it. Are you like... ok? Yet further entrenching the obvious fact that you are not commu...

This is, in no sense whatsoever, a strawman. It's definitely a weak position for those who initially denied the facts, though but it an entirely legit...

I'm unsure whether this little observation i'm about to make is really relevant, so apologies if something in the exchange I have missed would indicat...

Right; I guess it's the idea that we've got >100 years to go that's a hard sell.

The latter-most seems to include the former-most, to those like Mikie. The facts of the matter entail the impending end of the world (as least in some...

It seemed fairly clear to me that Noumena is the placeholder for things in themselves, beyond sensible intuition - of whcih we can know nothing. Not t...

I probably should have been more specific - in the sense of transcendental idealism, is it not the case that the unity of perceptions of a given objec...

This also seems inarguable. More people have turned to denialism and wholesale derision as a result of Greta's presence. I think it's been a detriment...

I believe, on the account that it's somehow a 'grift', the market consists in academia, media appearances and global climate summits. I don't think th...

It is now patently clear you’re communicating in bad faith. Take care buddy.

I agree. But that isn't his position. Which was my point. But it seems we more or less agree on what's actually happened.

Check ya DM's mate

Currently looking at a lot of Opera (on top of In a Silent Way - Miles Davis, and Gregorio Allegri's Miserere) Mario Lanza and Jussi Bjorling's perfor...

The irony burns. Hi again Vaskane, It seems you're under a false impession about my part in this exchange. Very well may be my doing, though so i apol...

Hi Vaskane :) At risk of this being another round of redundant talking past each other... (so, forgive if i bow out quickly. I can see it's not the be...

Are things more than their parts? Good. I think i F'd up on this one - I got F. Max Müller's translation, which I take to be neither well-renowned or ...

Suffice to say I cannot understand how it is even possible, without what I've asserted, that you're appealing to feelings to support your position - w...

Hmm.. I think I see what you're trying to establish - putting the glibness aside, I think you've jumped from morals to actions and back(I would also p...

Sure, and I did thank you for not taking the 'latter' route :) . But, neither is required or inferable. Both speak a bit more to the shakiness of your...

This is brilliant lol

It's not, if we're to take your immediate next phrase seriously. Politicians are allowing is not the same as simply Politicians are doing something.

Hi mate, Just to preface this, because it's going to come across slightly combative, I have no skin in this argument. I accept the facts about anthrop...

Absolutely; bizarre, isn't it? Conversely, as noted in that thread, I have an extremely active internal dialogue to, at times, a debilitating degree. ...

This is true for the majority of people, it seems. https://www.iflscience.com/people-with-no-internal-monologue-explain-what-its-like-in-their-head-57...

Hahaha, very true!

You've insulted someone for not sharing your moral intuitions. I don't think that's a helpful, or coherent position to take. One need not deny the fac...

Yes, i think this is the basis for most 'inner work' type of stuff. 'self help' being a bastardization of it. Controlling one's inner mono/dialogue is...
