Then that's not the t-sentence. It's something else. Many have dreamed of replacing correspondence with the t-sentence. Hasn't been accomplished thoug...

Can you point out a source that uses the t-sentence to describe Correspondence theory?

"P" is true IFF P is not an expression of Correspondence, is it? That's the t-sentence. It's trivially true and it's the banner of Redundancy, which i...

The asserter believes the asserted statement to be true and the justification is the grounding for that belief. A truthmaker grounds the statement in ...

It's a kind of stupidity, yes.

I don't use "ego-maniac" in an official sense. It's the name I pinned to a certain kind of person I've met in my travels. They're arrogant, yes, but t...

Yea.. taken in the right way, I think you may be right. There's a wrong way to take it, though. That's all I was saying.

Is a corporation verification-transcendent? Ordinary existence claim: yes. Metaphysically? no. I think I've got it.

Nobody as far as I know.

Oh cool. But bagels and bagels, right?

Weird that all that stuff disappeared. It's not a problem, though.

Recently actresses do refer to themselves as actors. For reals, dude.

That's weird. Don't you call them biscuits?

Um. OK.

Delete all cookies.

No. I suck at lying.

What question?

Be silent and be thought a fool. Speak a remove all doubt.

"Now answer my question" is not a request in American English. It's a command. It's a sentence a parent would utter to a child. Street psychology... w...

I wasn't trying to insult you. If I said to somebody "Now answer my question." I'd expect them to respond: "Go fuck yourself."

Some people enjoy talking to barking dogs. I don't, Agustino.

No. Should I?

Ever heard of Stephen Covey? When I worked for AT&T, everybody in management had to take a Covey course. I was taken in by it at first. It's actually ...

Everybody screws up, Agustino. It's how you react to failure that signals your mental health.

OK.

Really? I thought it's primary weakness is that it falls back on Correspondence.

So if something has the property of independence are we not supposed to ask: "Independent of what?" You know, I may have been thinking of naturalism: ...

That was my response to your message that materialists believe everything is material. I was making a giant diagram relating all ontological brands wi...

OK. But if realists argue that things are independent, what is the opposing view? That things aren't independent? If things are dependent.. then on wh...

I was having difficulty expressing the thought... different brands of ontology are basically different ways of picturing the relationship between onto...

Ontology is about how what is relates to what we know. The materialist is saying that what is stands independently of what we know. The materialist is...

Then in eight hours you'll be ready for a power poop.

Nietzsche says acts of kindness are usually demonstrations of power. Face it Tiff, you're power hungry.

And truth is mostly spin.

It was previously explained that what is commonly called love is a state of reaching out for possession. It's a state of dissatisfaction. Possession h...

Yea, I was self-employed for about 7 years. For the first few years I was basically working every waking minute (mostly marketing). I had to schedule ...

That's interesting. Russell denied that propositions necessarily have subject-predicate structure. He said "There are three men." doesn't. Plus he see...

Do you folks have bankruptcy laws? You'll probably need that.

Is he proposing dualism? Is he defining world as the opposite of thought?

Sounds like a good sign for a protest march. Yea.. I think that line is from his journal. I don't remember now.

But this sentence would be true even if one holds that the world is immaterial... for instance if I think the world is an abstract object because it's...

You're saying there's no non-metaphoric knowledge. Knowledge is fundamentally metaphoric. Thing-in-itself is a logical entity that just falls out of a...

Or whatever entities are endorsed by our best scientific theories. I think of him as being pretty externalist, though.. which comes at a cost of a the...

Two things went through my mind while reading the OP: 1. It's something I experience from time to time at work (intensive care). A person appears to b...

I think it's more that he's using "being" where he means something like "qualia" (... that "quality of being that comes to rest in the sanctuary of th...

Makes sense to me.

Is this just gearing up to support ordinary existence claims? If so, there are no ontological issues on the table. I'm not quite sure how that escapes...

Strictly speaking, a human body is big tube and the poop is in the bottom of the tube. The whole digestive track is basically open to the outside worl...
