Sorry, I will not dismiss logic for something that is illogical. And your appeal to quantum physics doesn't help, they can't even distinguish between ...
No, memory is to retain information, that's completely different from passing on information. The former involves the attitude I have toward the relat...
I submit that Mr. Trump has successfully ruined the Republican Party. His attempts to crush the greatest democracy in the world under the guise of MAG...
No, no, no, I don't buy this. There is no such thing as a "soft link". Either Randy is a true randomizer, or there is hard determinism. Assuming there...
Nevertheless, I would say that there is a fundamental difference of intention between communicating with oneself and communicating with others, implyi...
Writing provides a very good example of the dual purpose of language. There is a rich history of people making markings to serve as memory aids. This ...
Your Programmer friend's name is Will? OK, I assume then that all creatures, and all human beings, are all subjects of determinism, and the only one o...
I think that many of the problems of interpretation of quantum mechanics are the results of the culture of non-conformity to the law of identity withi...
Let me see if I understand your position. You propose an "agent of randomness", which acts as a "self-conscious link" within the determinist chain of ...
I'm going to start at the heart of our misunderstanding: The law of identity is an ontological issue concerning the nature of all things. Did you not ...
Those in such a clique might be said to be playing a game. Therefore the game is limited to that clique. Bit that's insufficient for the the claim tha...
What kind of precedent is that? Anytime a candidate is unhappy with an election result, they can demand, and receive, an "independent and transparent ...
As I described at the end of the last post, misuse of "object" allows freedom for equivocation. It appears like modern information theory and systems ...
The law of identity is a statement concerning the identity of particulars. Here's a quote from Stanford: "Numerical identity is our topic. As noted, i...
It seems like you're not familiar with the law of identity. Here's Wikipedia: "In logic, the law of identity states that each thing is identical with ...
What we observe is a very clear difference between human beings obeying the laws of governance, and inanimate objects behaving in a regular way which ...
What seems to be neglected in mathematical Platonism, is that '2+2' signifies an operation, and '3+1' signifies an operation. The two operations are c...
Obviously not. You said: "Strict identity" is what is defined by the law of identity. The "=" in mathematics signifies that two distinct things have t...
That's not really true. Wikipedia says the sign is "used to indicate equality in some well-defined sense... In an equation, the equal sign is placed b...
I would say that there is a problem here. It is not the case that your past is reshaped, only your memories of it are reshaped. This reshaping of your...
They are obviously not accidental or random. They are described by laws, so they are not random, but that does not imply that they are governed by law...
Are you serious? As human beings, you and I are equal, based in a principle of equality. Clearly we are not the same. A judgement of equality is based...
I believe the role of anticipation is very important, yet not well understood. It is not well understood because it falls outside the possibility of o...
I agree, but the universality of universals is exactly what makes them incompatible with identity which is what particulars have. This produces a hole...
OK, you said that the statement can't be verified and it can't be falsified, yet it doesn't classify as level 4 by the standards of the op. How does i...
Well, I wouldn't go so far as to call it a violent agreement. The point of the op I believe, is that it's incorrect to call mathematical objects "obje...
The problems arise when we try to establish a boundary between inner and outer. We say that other people, and all sorts of external objects are defini...
Uh huh, so you say. But you're not interested in any interpretation which is not consistent with yours, so it really doesn't say very much. Do you agr...
No, not necessarily, I just recognize that it is impossible for a word to have a meaning before that word exists. I think we've been through this befo...
I agree with your bottom-up interpretation of reality, in principle, and also I agree that it is compatible with free will. I don't understand this pa...
You know that this is just a symbolic representation of the law. So the symbols need to be interpreted. What 'a=a' represents is that for any object, ...
I don't agree that such a claim is unfalsifiable. Just because we do not have the means to falsify it right now does not mean that we will not develop...
I don't know where Pneumenon gets this specific terminology, but I know the identity condition as the "law of identity", which states that a thing is ...
You might be interested in Joshs' radical temporality: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/9913/introducing-the-philosophy-of-radical-temporalit...
How can we say that 2 represents a unique and particular object? That is the identity condition. To have an identity is to be identifiable as a unique...
Yes, that's called will power. Yes. The answers to these questions are very obvious, and it's very hard for me to imagine how anyone could realistical...
I know that a being continues to be the same being despite changing, but the point is that we need a principle of identity to validate logically, what...
I think the point is that there are numerous different types of triangles. And if you want to argue that there is only one type, "the triangle", then ...
I do not believe there is any real or definable boundary between inner and outer, so the attempt to establish such a distinction would be fruitless. H...
You should have noticed, from what I've posted, that I'm not at all interested in the conventional interpretation of "falsifiability". I believe it te...
Don't you see a problem here? If psychologists are referring to "rules' which account for, or cause certain types of behaviour, and there is really no...
Referring back to the op, I haven't read the article, I confess. But I think we definitely need to consider these as distinct categories, "confirmable...
The issue here is "identity". If being is actually a becoming, but you then posit the necessity of "a being" (notice the noun now) which is becoming, ...
I think it means exactly what it looks like it means, not possible to demonstrate the falsity of. The point is that the common epistemological usage o...
Isn't a "rule" necessarily formal though? That's the point, to talk about Innate, informal commonalities, as if they are rules, appears like a mistake...
