Charleton: Marx lived off of hiss capitalist friend, Engels, and also played the stock market, which are two more signs of his hypocrisy. You never ad...
I'm you asking about a justification for the use of logic, or an actual so-called grounding? Your comment about justifying logic because it has been s...
It makes Marx a hypocrite, doesn't it? After all, he was in the non--working class, yet, he claims to have been able to identify with them. According ...
I am not sure why anyone thinks morality must be grounded, as nothing else has ever been grounded. Mathematics relies on unfounded axioms, so math is ...
CuddlyHedgehog: I'm sure that is true for some people, but the vast majority of us certainly have time to learn at least some of the issues currently ...
It depends on whether one is a layperson or an expert in the field. As a layperson, would you drive across a bridge that 97% of structural engineers t...
Aporiap: I wouldn't use another system besides a democratic one, and I do understand that in the USA we are a Constitutional Republic, but still, ulti...
I think your best bet is to start with a mathematics textbook that assists students in transitioning from computational classes to classes dealing wit...
When Chomsky writes about economic issues for the mass public, and he has no degree in economics, admitted he gets his economic ideas from watching St...
Trump is doing nothing different from what the GOP has accused the Democrats of doing, since the days of FDR. The GOP is not giving a tax-cut, because...
The reason why populist movements have failed in the past is because their economic policies never work. We know that a trade-war was one of the major...
Yatagarasu: I don't think that the government is controlling all information, so people are falling in line with political ideologies that are doomed ...
Well, let's see? Trump campaigned on a policy of supporting high tariffs. This is a bad idea. We know that a tariff war was one of the major causes of...
Bitter Crank: It's hardly a sign of being an intellectual that one argues in support of child-rapists. That's different from being a child-rapist. It'...
It's a statement that first of all involves a value judgment, therefore, it is a statement that cannot be assigned a truth value ----- either true or ...
Charleton: Actually, since you are an admitted math illiterate, your opinions are worthless. I'm an atheist, and would never claim that two Popes, esp...
Charleton: The real question is how are you any different from Icke, and the answer is you aren't. Where Icke is unable to understand basic mathematic...
BluBanana: If it's false, how could it possibly be knowledge? Saying we can't prove anything doesn't really matter, that's a given in first semester p...
Marx was as anti-Semitic as any stormtrooper, and not a Jew. He wrote that the Jews worshipped money, that they should be killed off, considered them ...
BlueBanana: That's been my point, but you are the one claiming that false claims amount to knowledge. That is what you wrote. Perhaps you made a mista...
Marx was quite vicious. When he wasn't speculating in the stock-market with his friend's Engel's capitalist earnings, he was writing demented tracks o...
Harris is not an expert on genetics, and for some reason, he's off on a pro-racist rant lately. Perhaps he needs more subscribers for his podcasts? Wh...
Rene: No, the Marxists infused the government with their Marxist superstitious nonsense. Even to the point of adopting a pseudoscientific claim regard...
BlueBanana: I'm not sure I understand your point. Since you are claiming that knowledge can be false, which contradicts the JTB assertion, then how ca...
Right, Charleton, laughing is just such a persuasive argument. Let's see? You claim that two Popes, at least one of whom has a serious baggage problem...
Sorry there, Charleton, but those two Popes are not intellectuals at all. How could that possibly be? Because they wear silly hats and expect people t...
I think one of his examples where a person looks at a broken clock, that just happens to be stating the correct time, to then say someone does not hav...
Charleton: How are the followers of people like David Icke not against those who think? After all, a basic understanding of physics would have made hi...
I wonder why people keep associating Marxism with atheism, when Marxism is a supernatural belief system, start to finish. The fact Marxism bans other ...
It is impossible to study any specific person and figure out how much of their intelligence is due to genes versus the environment. The human populati...
BlueBanana: When you state that knowledge doesn't have to be true, then how can it be knowledge? If I "know" the capital of the USA is Portland, Orego...
Inalienable rights do come from Locke, who simply based his claim on magic --- or, excuse me, a belief in God. Inalienable rights are typically misund...
Well, negative Eugenics was based on a pseudoscience, not actual science, which is one of the reasons it failed so miserably. To the extent genetics i...
Imagine what FOX NEWS would have said had Obama stated while president, "Take the guns first; go through due process second"? Isn't it amazing how a R...
Tim Wood: Pretty much everyone. Trump. The NRA. Bill Maher. Name anyone who is a pundit on gun control, someone who is a well-known public figure, who...
Charles Murray is a racist though. And his work was so over-the-top unscientific, it's only still known because racists love it. Murray is a political...
If the Muslims happened to be right, and you worshipped pagan Gods along side Allah, you'd still go to hell. You can't side-step the criticism that Pa...
I agree with a lot of the people who have responded, who stated that yes, the USA does have a problem with anti-intellectualism, but so do many other ...
I agree with you that Gettier was not successful in what he wanted to achieve, but I disagree with the claim that JTB is not what we need for knowledg...
The vast majority of social media these days consists of groups that quickly ban anyone with different viewpoints. I'm not sure whether that applies t...
One cannot even do social science these days without knowing game-theory, not if one wants to be taken seriously. I also never claimed that game-theor...
Actually, game-theory is commonly used to make accurate social predictions, and even when it fails to do so, it does give us an insight into what rati...
That's true, and there is also political correctness on the right, as well. If one does not support a war, then one is labeled a "traitor," and how to...
The USA does have the greatest speech protections in the world. As an American, I won't even go to Europe, because I could easily be prosecuted for sa...
Well, just take a look at game-theory? Game-theory tells us that we are less safe the more guns we have as a community. Just imagine if you were the o...
In reviewing the initial post and the comments following it, it looks like most people have raised good points here. The statement first off was poorl...
I know the number of permutations for a deck of 52 cards is straightforward enough. It is 52!, or 52 factorial. There are 52 possibilities for the fir...
