Well yeah, but there's a difference between holding beliefs that someone else recognizes as contradictory, and holding beliefs which you yourself reco...
I've got one in my backyard. It's infinitely small though, so the guests have a hard time finding it, and the rooms are even harder to find because th...
Supposing the wiping was intentional. Is it a crime, or sign of corruption to wipe your phone? Imagine yourself in the position of a member on that te...
We've been through this before on other threads, but we could start with the difference between representing an infinite sequence, and representing ea...
Right, forgetting your passcode is "stupid". But I don't think I know anyone who hasn't forgotten a passcode now and then. I guess we're all stupid. H...
Try any colour, or black is the best. If you change black to white it gets a whole different meaning. Seriously though, anything which has a particula...
Actually I see your descriptions as cutting off the branch your sitting on. You want to define truth in relation to correspondence, yet you keep insis...
A proposition without context is meaningless. So the terms in your example, "God", and "exists" need to be defined. Otherwise saying "God exists" says...
You can raise your ratio by replying to multiple mentions in a single post. It might actually be a good practise because it helps keep the threads nea...
That is the point, to determine whether contradiction truly is bad. If reality is such, that contradiction is required to accurately describe it, then...
I dismiss Cantor as misunderstanding. He misunderstands the nature of numbers, the application of numbers in counting, and the infinite possibility wh...
If this is the case, then why do we give consistency any esteem? According to the op, many would give greater esteem to consistency than to correspond...
Hi jerseyFlight, I'm going to apologize right now, in case it offends you, because I'm going to be curt with my reply on most the things you said. It ...
If there is an infinite number of guests at the hotel already, then there are no more possible guests to arrive, because that would allow for the poss...
Communication is a very complex subject and I'm not ready to try to explain how it works. Right we're in agreement here. That subconscious interpretat...
This is incorrect. Consistency says nothing about the truth of the beliefs. One could write fictitious propositions which are completely false, but co...
I don't believe that seeing something necessitates the conclusion that it has been observed. Observation requires that the person understands and reme...
This type of generalization seems to be the common response here. But no one has told me, and I can't figure out, how it relates to coherency. I was d...
I don't agree with this. I think that each experience is novel. I've never had two experiences the same before, though I've experienced deja vu, but I...
It is a use of words, but the dictionary does not define the meaning of words. It gives guidance, in the form of a general representation of how words...
In Aristotelian physics, temporal continuity is provided for by matter. Matter is the underlying thing which persists through change, as the form of t...
Sorry tim, I just can't understand what your saying. You asked me why I think it is unreasonable to think that because it happened in the past, the sa...
It's called "human understanding", and it's separated off from the rest of the world, as a particular thing to try to understand in itself. The reason...
The principle 'it happened like this before, therefore it will happen like that again', is not logical, nor reasonable in any way. It might appear lik...
The point is that you need to qualify these terms "some", "all", and "none", as you do in your example, with "rectangles". And, it makes sense to say ...
This is an example of the deep corruption inherent within modern logical systems. The requirement, to indicate that a set is not an empty set, comes a...
The alignment problem is the reason why method 1 is unacceptable. For those who refuse to accept that method 1 is unacceptable (some people just will ...
The long term effects are not well known yet, and definitely something to be concerned about. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavir...
This is a good start, but energy is much more than this. Energy is transferable, from one material object to another. This is why there is a need for ...
Notice that instead of referring to the actual program, and what is being carried out by the program, (the president would have clear access to this i...
There is what appears to be an irreconcilable difference between the interest of the individual, and the interest of the community. However, it is rea...
I've been very clear about identity, "a thing is the same as itself". Therefore, unless the form in the mind is the very same as the thing itself, it ...
It seems your reading skills are not so good Gregory. I have, for days now been trying to get Jersey to recognize the distinction between the form in ...
I didn't say "from the thing". That is just your materialist interpretation,, like saying that the image of the chair in my mind when I see a chair "c...
Why are you obsessed with proof? What I meant by "thorough" was complete, rather than superficial. That he wrote more words, and makes more sense, is ...
You need to explain your use of "being", because it makes no sense to me. You are not using it as a noun, to talk about "a being", or individual "bein...
If I had to take a label, I'd say anti. Aquinas offers the most thorough, and rigorous interpretation of Aristotle available, so such an "indoctrinati...
As I explained, there is no good reason to take this position. It contravenes the conclusion of the cosmological argument, and, designating a part of ...
In Aristotle's metaphysics, matter without form is an impossibility demonstrated by his cosmological argument. He also explains why the form of a thin...
