On the off chance the Stoics are "selling" something, it's not magic they're selling, but how to deal with the practical concerns of daily life and th...
It's not that it wouldn't make any sense, but math calculations are about precision -- how small or large or steep or within the smallest possible err...
There is a fundamental instinct that humans have regardless of their social personalities. "Weakness" is a relative social term, which may or may not ...
Let's have consistency at least. Okay, more than one way to describe a line you say. Yet, you dismiss your own statement of "it's just an abstract obj...
Solitude and isolation are not the same thing. But often, these two are thought to be interchangeable. A person wanting to be alone doesn't necessaril...
Funny you say this. I won't preface a statement about math objects as "usually". They're just are. Also, interesting that you mentioned constrained by...
Like in the way of apparatus. I know. Members here don't like this word apparatus. Cause it sneaks, and before you know it, we're unknowing participan...
Yeah, typical PKD. I once called someone I know personally an android. He was puzzled. I didn't elaborate. But I said it cause during the pandemic, I ...
Because kudos is mixing an assumed personality with wild instinct of animals. Incorrect application. Still inappropriate as a means to compare the nat...
None of the above. And yes, I'm also trying to get to the bottom of this insane sentiment that science will someday decay. But not necessarily weaken,...
Sorry, but it's not the philosophy's fault that there exist useless large volume of publications that are based on unfounded presuppositions. Just lik...
Sorry, this is just wrong. You're misunderstanding the methodology and quality of theoretical building in philosophy. Of course the science has its ow...
While I certainly hate hijacking a thread with a topic all on its own -- this is squishing bugs thread, not eating meat (and why is Hitler being used ...
This is misinformation, I'm afraid. The philosophers of science are the scientists themselves. In the philosophy of mathematics, they are the mathemat...
But isn't indulging one's self by killing bugs something to think about? There are a million other ways to indulge one's self. Do you know that people...
Yes, it does. Because I find it unnecessary most of the time. So, my thought process is, the act of squishing must be a reaction to something more ser...
I don't purposely kill bugs. I'd rather take them out of the house. Especially spiders. I can catch it with my hands (cup my hands) and take it outsid...
It's cause the reductionist charge is yet another issue addressed by the critics. It goes like this, in three separate issues: 1.science has now been ...
Okay, fair enough. No one can force you to accept facts or reality. But then, there's also the law, which could make a convincing narrative that you s...
Once in a while I peak in here to see what's been happening. Scientific data just flows logically -- that's the believable narrative. You're not suppo...
This is an interesting take and well deserving of a mention. I noticed that those you rejected, as a realist, are either abstract (mathematical stuff)...
Many economic models are also just that, model -- not as easy to put to work in reality. And yes, while profit is the goal of doing business -- you do...
If you notice in your reading that the physicists are mostly the culprit of the traditional science-decline sentiments, though they're not the only ta...
