It's best not to oppose false with true. This is because a true and honest statement may be demonstrated to be unjustifiable (false). So "false" is be...
This is precisely where the problem is, unwarranted attempts such as yours, to reduce the meaning of "a truthful account" to "an accurate portrayal of...
What kind of conclusion is that? Do you think "free" means incapable of considering the environmental circumstances when choosing one's actions? That ...
I think that is wrong. Animal signals are caused by the animal itself, not the animal's environment. The human being acts by free will for example, no...
I don't think so. Most uses of "truth" point to honesty, as in "are you telling the truth?". It's just a certain type of philosopher, practising a def...
The piece of metal in my pocket is not a dollar, properly speaking. It's a coin which represents a dollar. That's what makes the categorical differenc...
What you are saying here is that meaning, as well as other human relations, requires truth (in the sense of honesty). So we should take it that truth,...
For example: sworn testimony is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If this is true, then how could truth be anything other than th...
Like I said earlier, truth is best described in terms of honesty. And as such, it is quite simple. Use words to express what you honestly believe, to ...
This is oxymoronic. The mechanistic world view is simply the deterministic view. What it really says is that we have no power over the world, that we ...
Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaNpka54DqQ (Respect!) Is never given enough today I'm tired of looking the other way (Re...
I am talking about everyday occurrences. And yes, there clearly is changes to the temporal continuity of existence of things, that\s what "force" does...
This will never work, because "truth" is a feature of particular circumstances, and the accidentals of particular circumstances cannot be captured in ...
Socrates, the prime example, the lover of wisdom. but in possession of none. Remember though, the relationship between "love" and desire and want, esp...
What I seek is the reality of the matter, not victory. You keep reasserting unreal claims, despite my demonstrations that these claims are incorrect. ...
The issue you describe here is a problem with the justification. The justification is somewhat faulty and therefore truth in the matter cannot be asce...
Categories also are described, and not defined through reference to opposites, like the categories of colour, heat, etc.. These are not defined by ref...
You haven't addressed the issue, only attempting to change the subject. The simple fact is that we define a thing by describing what it is, not by say...
I don't think this is correct at all. We define "A" with a description, not by saying what it is not. "Man", for example, was defined by Aristotle as ...
Wikipedia: "n 1969, Isaac Asimov said "I am a compulsive writer". Other artistic figures reported to have been affected by hypergraphia include Vincen...
Wayfarer is one who could really benefit from some serious metaphysical training. Most the other members here are so deeply enveloped by mathematicism...
I've got a great idea. Open a new thread to bitch about this thread. Then someone can open another thread to bitch about that thread, on and on, until...
That's not necessarily the case. "P is true" represents a judgement, but the truth or falsity of that judgement is not a feature of that particular ju...
Oh, I see. We assume the person is speaking honestly, unless the person is known to be dishonest. And the person who knows oneself to be known as dish...
No, this is wrong. A "true" statement is one which expresses an honest judgement. So "p is true" means the statement "p" is what the person making tha...
The mechanistic world view is dependent on the idea of continuous time. If, in reality, the flow of time is not continuous, then there are aspects of ...
I think the proper terminology is tuna fish casserole. The instant version, unbaked and not so hot (when you're not mid Minnesota winter), I believe i...
If "p" is true IFF p, and "p" is true IFF q, then p and q are the very same thing. I agree that this is very trivial, but it says absolutely nothing u...
Weather forecasting has become more scientific. The computers use observational data in producing their models. It is the increase in available observ...
I omitted the role of salinity because it is a secondary feature. The point is, that as secondary, changes in salinity cannot cause the GCB to actuall...
Climatology is said to be a science, I do not deny that. And what you've presented here you seem to present as science, that's why I called it "so-cal...
I think the situation is a lot more complex than this. Evaporation also increases salinity, and this makes denser warm water, possibly increasing wate...
There's a lot more than one flawed intellectual mechanism out there. And what has happened is that these flawed intellectual mechanisms have led us to...
There is no point at infinity in the complex plane. That point is by definition outside the plane. To allow it in is to break the rules of the structu...
The thermohaline circulation is not an ocean current, nor is it a group of currents. As I said already, it's a vague and extremely general abstraction...
If your goal is deception, ambiguity is a very useful tool. Therefore successful employment of the term does not indicate that the term is not ambiguo...
Actually, I don't think the circulation requires a heat differential at all. As I explained, it is the product of the spinning planet. The heat differ...
Most mathematicians seem to just take zero for granted, with zero understanding of what "zero" means. But of course, as I explained, the meaning of "0...
No, I took those questions as personal problems which could potentially be resolved through introspection, not as having anything to do with "the trut...
Fractions are pure nonsense, from the get go, so we'll probably never get there. This is the very problem I referred to. The numberline shows us an or...
