Nope. Programmers work at a high enough level of abstraction that they do indeed use models. That is true despite the fact that high level languages d...

Doubt this had much to do with science.

For example?

Kafkaesque!

yeah come on OP @"Agent Smith" has been waiting for 5 minutes already. :roll:

Trust is implicated here. There is too much for any single person to know about technology. I trust the vaccines work. I trust the brakes on my car wo...

I haven't read the entire thread so forgive me if the following observation has already been mentioned. There are passages in the Bible which indicate...

How dare you ban my sockpuppet (joke).

Test: I agree.

oh you got syntax highlighting and everything :)

I had a look around net and found plenty of references to the saying but they all trace back to Varoufakis and stop with him. I have also looked at hi...

I agree. Yep it's tricky. Anyway, forget it. I was talking shit last night. I don't know anything.

I suppose the marvel universe is very effective at providing meaning within its particular domain (let's call that the realm of the imaginary). Like n...

I picked at random a few ways that man makes sense of existence and called them modes of knowing. The actual list would be very long. Those that are t...

I infer that you mean we cannot know if god's punishment is just because we are finite beings. Yet the fact that we are finite beings strongly indicat...

It just seems a little disproportionate. Love and worship me or else I'll kill you... Forever.

Science is a valid mode of knowing. Philosophy is a valid mode of knowing. Art is a valid mode of knowing. Theology is a valid mode of knowing. The pr...

The idea that man is not a rational animal (a la Aristotle) goes way, way back:

"Sameness is our real identity" Tell that to Deleuze

Great. Another mystery solved. This calls for a hypothetical drink. *Hypothetical guzzle ensues*

Sorry. Let me clarify. Assume that is is established. Hypothetically, what then?

So anyway, what does it matter if metaphor can be a single word or not? So it's established that metaphor cannot be a single word. Great. What now?

We don't even know what heaven/hell is. Could be metaphors for a state of mind. Why do some Christians interpret eve and the talking snake as an alleg...

Take Geworfenheit (thrown-ness) for example. It doesn't mean that our bodies were literally 'thrown' into the world, slapping against the hard floor. ...

Can you go into more detail? What term is being discussed? Perhaps the philosopher wanted to emphasize that the term is not to be taken literally.

You were already given some examples in this thread. How about the Successor function as another example?

Why would philosophers make a scientific discovery? Does a musician make a mathematical discovery? Analytical philosophy is concerned mostly with logi...

What would reduced computational steps provide other than faster computation?

while(true){ print("I am an infinite loop")}

Yes indeed it is a thought experiment which is lacking. Scientists don't think "let us conduct experiments which take subjectivity into account". That...

The natural sciences begin from a position of eliminated subjectivity: Let us imagine there are no humans and conduct observations accordingly. Call t...

Is this a serious thread? Are you are genuinely suggesting that something is gibberish just because you don't understand it?

What if was blah?

I disagree that human imagination is convergent with objective reality. Perhaps the word 'conception' is better than 'imagination' (providing that con...

Beliefs are potentially either true or false. Propositions are the bearers of these truth values. The perceptual non-linguistic beliefs you describe h...

Yes and those would be propositional statements. Your proposed pre-rendered belief states are impossible to communicate without language. So can they ...

What exactly do you believe your cat to be believing when it's staring at the window?

You obviously don't have children.

Mosquito bite.

I'm a delivery driver for a supermarket chain in the Alps. Your description fits my daily landscapes well :smile:

C'est les vendanges! Grape harvesting season here in France.

Osho not Sadhguru. Not that it matters; they both spout nonsense.

I dare you to try and actually engage in philosophical discussion with your next account. Pathetic troll.

Ah the old rubber duck method. It's effective.

Can't you range ban that troll?

I recommend reading through SEP (Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy) articles relevant to your interests. For example

Bruh. Are you actually insinuating that homosexuality is a result of early trauma?
