Let me phrase it like this, @"RogueAI". My pseudonym is Arcane Sandwich. I believe in things that humans believe in: magic (superstition) and sandwich...
That's one of my main points, here. In the West (and not just the West, actually) someone can't just claim that their own particular group of people "...
Man, you two are really going at it. Is there any hope for any kind of resolution here, one way or the other? Or is this one of those problems that ca...
Then let me ask you this, frank. Does it make sense to use the word "intelligence" for an inorganic object to begin with? What I mean by that is that ...
And I appreciate that, it's mighty kind of you. However, just to keep things tidy and neat, I've moved them to a more topic-appropriate location. They...
In my admittedly ignorant opinion on such matters (how to best define "human intelligence", "artificial intelligence", and just "intelligence"), this ...
Fair enough. Ah, but then it's theology that you want to discuss (hello, BTW). Indeed, when I formulated my initial argument, I did something subtle, ...
From a purely technical standpoint, I don't think that repeating a point (i.e., "stop supporting Israel") makes it more persuasive. Like, it just does...
Well, let me ask you this, then. Let's replace "tree" with "this Thread". That being the case, I'll say the following. My brain is under the impressio...
No prob :up: There's probably more that can be done to improve the aesthetics of the argument, but that's just a stylistic thing that allows people to...
Nope, not as far as I can see, at least. Now we need to bring the concept of "elegance" into the argument, just to tidy up the expressions a bit. For ...
And this last argument that I just said, @"ToothyMaw", can be simplified even further. How? Well, like I did in my first comment: That was my point al...
At this point in the construction of the argument I would ask, from a purely technical POV, if there is any need to separate jihadism from the radical...
It's definitely easier to understand now, as far as the content goes. And as far as the structure goes, it's a lot more "elegant" (but that doesn't me...
And a good way to improve your argumentative skills (i.e., identifying false premises, seeing what strategic options and tactical options you have for...
It's a great way to learn symbolic logic in a practical way, just fool around with it for a few hours, try different formulas, try to make different a...
Ok. What would be an example of that, so that I can get a clear picture of it? I would think of a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly. The caterpi...
It could probably be simplified even further. Right now it has the following structure: 1) p ? (¬q ? ¬r) 2) p 3) ¬q ? ¬r It might be possible to simpl...
I probably have Moorish ancestry like way, way back, like one of my great-great-great-grandfathers or whatever. I'd say that it's impossible to have S...
Let's see if we can simply the argument, @"ToothyMaw". (BTW, you repeated the number "2)" in your argument, take a look at it). I would say: 1) If cer...
Here's my argument, it's a humble modus ponens: 1) If jihadism is incompatible with secularism, then the concept of religious tolerance does not apply...
Depends on what you mean by indigenismo. I would say that everyone is indigenous to the place that they were born. You are indigenous to Spain, I'm in...
All of this went way over my head. Can you explain it to me like I'm an idiot? EDIT: You know what? I'll just link to a video, and you tell me if it i...
@"kazan" this is an example of what I think about when I think about Oceanic Continentalism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kwIkF6LFDc EDIT: And, of...
Allow me to attempt to do just that, by pasting the contents of a comment that I made in another Thread, since I plan to delete them from that other T...
Ok, here's what I think would be the best thing to do: I will move them over to the Ultimate Truth about Reality Thread. So, they will be deleted from...
I think I know what you're getting at. The example that I sometimes think about myself is fishing, when the fish thinks that a plastic bait is real fi...
