On the contrary, the second notion of symmetry(17th c) from the quote you provided, ignores the location or context. The left and right are simply equ...

Including wit?

Apparently. Your use of formulas in your posts, for example.

I thought the Fool was @"Agent Smith". :chin:

You're not wrong. I skipped the formal logic in favor of the classical narrative and argumentation. You know -- write a brief exposition, or thesis. A...

Quite the opposite of my university experience. So much so that some fellows would ask, could we focus on the broad picture, or "let's look at the for...

Ssshh! He's not being a troll, just not talking in philosophical terms. Just to explain a little bit here. In common sense knowledge, we do know that ...

You're lucky to have Banno on your side. Normally, it would take a few posts before he comes to an agreement with you. :smile: I wish you the best in ...

Yes, if not exaggerated, it's myopic. In fact, the vast majority of philosophical inquiry is about objective knowledge and ethics/morality. That shoul...

Yes, we constantly refer to infinity in various ways without referencing math. Eternal, forever, and immortal are just some of the ways we express inf...

You too, @"Hanover".

Good morning everyone. I wish you the best of the holidays. I'm having a nice cup of coffee. I wish you are, too. :flower:

Mystery, spionage, foklore, and of course the all-time favorite - slasher-murder stories. :smile:

I'm vain so it has to be anonymous anonymous. I might submit something, hopefully you'll accept it without knowing who submitted it. Due date is Decem...

Yes! I'm having a party here. But can't drink wine, milk only. Suffice it to say, I'm not drunk. But it sure is scary to think that someone could will...

It would take a special task force to surveil the magic about to be willed. What could be an effective antidote to prevent a murder? Clairvoyance?

The parting of the sea is magic. Imagine if someone could just will to flood an entire country.

You should change the second question as conditional.

Try this. See if this is what you're looking for: --JS Mill, On Liberty, Chapter V Applications

No. Quite the opposite. Your environment limits what philosophical theories you can consider to be good or true. (By environment, I don't mean the 5 s...

Fair assessment. I couldn't respond myself.

haha! :sweat:

That's Tiff country!

Nice comeback!

Yes. Through satellite communications. :smile: haha! Honestly I check Moscow's time each time jamalrob says good morning! And so stunning! A good day,...

Bonne nuit.

Good morning, everyone. I hope you are having a nice cup of coffee in this overcast weather morning.

@"Hanover" I need to talk to you please.

https://jref.com/threads/rest-in-peace-mars-man.58490/ I'm sorry to hear the news. I still remember our conversation back at the other philosophy site...

:grin: Very funny. Okay, I'll try it if you say so.

Not true. The US has a lot of business regulation.

*gasp* :gasp: I'm not that brave.

You're not gonna get off scot-free with that metric shit ton you pulled. lol. :smile:

Noble Dust is correct. And it's a hit or miss. If you get a miss, it's....bad. :roll:

:grin:

True. It's been proven (?) that the sound of bass (guitar) is very, very attractive to our ears. So I guess, that's objectively quantifiable truth tha...

In command economy, yes. Here

Try this: Command economies

One can expect growth all the time, but not in all industries or aspects of societies. I think some countries have done controlled growth -- where the...

It's puzzling that xenobots are not organisms. What's the definition of a robot. The xenobots are made of frog cells.

Wow!

:up:

Yes, exactly the question. That's why if you factor in the relativistic nature of surprises to some agents, then quantifying the free energy becomes m...

No, if put that way. I'm lazy to go back to that article to lift a passage, but there's the comment, I think, by the Theorist regarding the relativist...

:sweat: This is better than watching a horror movie.

Good links! I agree with the both of them. I never agreed with the rationalism versus empiricism discourse anyway. There's something unsettling about ...

Then show it already! :blush:

No objection here. I had to quickly do a mental inventory of what I said back in the phenomenology thread when I went crazy over the idealism versus p...

:blush: I'd like to see a pic.

This thread is old -- just saw it now. And I'm not going to sift through all the pages to find out what's already been said. I'm just going to pretend...
