No, I am saying that the square is no longer the same as it was before you turned it. The fact that you turned it means that you changed it and it is ...
This is an important point. Some modern metaphysics will remove this necessity, that reality is intelligible, to posit a fundamentally unintelligible ...
I don't think that you are properly representing the concept of "equality" Qmeri, and this is what is giving you the problem. This concept allows us t...
Yes that's what I was saying, we have an exception to the rule, the rule does not apply. Sorry if I didn't express myself clearly. As argued by schola...
The LEM dictates that P must be either true or false. You have said, P is neither true nor false, hence an exception to the law. In the case of yester...
What is actually needed, is a definitive separation between the two principal senses of "potential", being logically possible, and ontologically possi...
The problem here is that what you state as "generally accepted", is not a valid conclusion from Michelson-Morley experiments. These experiments demons...
Wave functions produce probabilities, they do not describe probabilities. The mathematics employed is a description of waves, and what is produced thr...
I think you are changing the subject by switching to the negative. The issue is the affirmation that a word has a home (or possibly more than one home...
Which one of my interpretations? I offered two completely different. You are the one who brought up a word's "home". How do you interpret this concept...
What sort of waves are described is the problem, isn't it? Until the aether is identified that question cannot be answered. Right? We know that waves ...
You brought up this issue of "the language game that is its home". But if you'd prefer not to discuss it then just say so. Since a word has a place in...
Well of course, a wave function is a mathematical description. And what the mathematics describes, is waves. That's what I said "'wave function' descr...
You ought not say things like that 180. It just demonstrates that you are convinced by ad hominem. And that's known as a fallacy. Relying on ad homine...
I think the word "history" is used to create the illusion of science, by the authors. By calling it "history", the metaphysics which consists of specu...
Eliminating the impossible does not give us the truth. Such a method always leaves us with possibility because the logic operates within that category...
If you want to look at the issue I brought up, as a civilized, rational human being, without resort to insult, then follow me here. I was enquiring as...
When you work out what it is that I am claiming, then you might be capable of making an intelligent reply, instead of off the cuff ad hominem, like th...
"Family resemblance" implies that they have family in common, just like Wittgenstein says: "Something runs through the whole thread—namely the continu...
Yes, I might say that the same object used in two different ways, is two different tools, like in the case of a multitool, and I'll explain further be...
What you describe here is a sort of paradox, which might even be called a contradiction. If a word's "home" is its position within a particular langua...
What's with the inconsistency Mww? First you say that these "qualifications" are more attributable to experience than education, but then you proceed ...
The past (observed) is the physical. The future (unobservable) is the realm of ideas. Human beings live at the present. However, it has become evident...
\It's quite clear that in physics a "wave" is a disturbance in a medium. Since the "wavefunction" describes waves, we can conclude that these waves re...
Oh yeah, you can see right through me. Not. If one is naturally inclined in one way rather than another, that's a bias. But being inclined in one way ...
Not really, because quantum chemistry is energy based, while my description is mass based. This is a big difference because a molecule is understood t...
Actually my post was directed toward Bret and the op. I just inserted a line from your post. so I put quotations to give proper credit to you, for tha...
There is no doubt in my mind, that some innate biases can be overcome. The more pertinent question is as you say, "what of a good bias?" And of course...
That's good. Each "thing" has space proper to it. Now how would you relate this to the concepts of chemistry and physics, within which, things move re...
Vat-grown meat will undoubtably be similar to hydroponically grown vegetables, in the sense of extremely deficient in taste. We already experience a b...
How does the use of words (casting spells and stuff like that) enter into the concept of magick? Does Donald Trump qualify as an example of someone wh...
The various domains of science actually do not form a consistent whole. There is significant inconsistency between principles employed from one field ...
So I can assume that you wouldn't have taken a spectator's seat at the guillotine in the French Revolution. Maybe what you've learned to over-rule is ...
This is why proper upbringing, and education are imperative. One's way of thinking is no less of a habit than other activities which we engage in. Lea...
The point is mainly directed at Janus, and anyone else, who argues that the theories employed in modern science have been "tested", or proven by obser...
That's not true, logic is tested by consistency. That 4+5 equals 9 is tested by 9-5=4, etc.. Obviously you don't actually know how premises are tested...
Premises need not be descriptions of physical things, whose truth and falsity is judged according to empirical evidence. We can make premises which ar...
Non-physical explanations are tested logically. That's what logic gives us, non-physical explanations. Are you familiar with mathematics for example? ...
What kind of bias is that? If we are seeking the cause of physical existence, obviously the answer cannot be something physical. I don't see how you w...
Since explanations concerning the cause of material being have always been incomplete, what is wrong with pursuing an explanation which would likely r...
The value it gives, is to tell us that to proceed in the direction of pure chance is to go in the wrong direction. To go down the road of "there is an...
