I am asking you your reasons for your opposition.
March 26, 2024 at 15:34
Were you opposing the point without knowing what you were opposing against?
March 26, 2024 at 15:33
What is your reasoning that my point is not correct? Please tell us. Don't lean on the others' shoulders or hide behind their shadows.
March 26, 2024 at 15:31
I have given out the explanations based on the reasonings. But you just say, well the other folks don't agree with you, and University California says...
March 26, 2024 at 15:28
If you don't agree with something, come with your reasonings why it is not true, rather than simply saying, the other folks don't agree with you, and ...
March 26, 2024 at 15:26
I will not try argue with you. Whatever I say, I know you will come back with some irrational oppositions with no content. No logical arguments and ra...
March 26, 2024 at 15:21
"I am wet, therefore I swim." doesn't make sense, as "I think, therefore I am." doesn't make sense. "Think" doesn't warrant for anything. "Think" mean...
March 26, 2024 at 15:15
In a proposition, it is. You are trying best to make the point. I can see that. But we are talking within the syntactic and semantic realm with no add...

How is the relationship God possible, if God is unknown? Does K defines what God is? Why "unfortunately"?
March 26, 2024 at 14:36
I did bow out from this thread, but you have directed your post with your poorly reasoned writings to me, misleading my points. Hence I am briefly bac...
March 26, 2024 at 13:54
Thanks :) I am not an expert in Logic myself, but it can be an interesting subject at times. I think I will reread my Logic book again to refresh the ...
March 25, 2024 at 09:20
I think I said enough on what I had to say. Much of them were just the repeating the ideas and points, which you seem cannot accept. I am bowing out f...
March 25, 2024 at 08:35
Yes, I am bowing out from this thread after this message. I was going to do that about 10 pages ago. But I was getting frustrated to see the continuin...
March 25, 2024 at 08:33
I have explained on the point in my previous post clearly enough.
March 25, 2024 at 08:25
Agreed. Thinking (Psychology) ===> Existence (Ontology, Epistemology). This is a leap. It is not even a logical leap. It is a psychological or paranor...
March 25, 2024 at 08:20
Yeah you are still right. Folks seem to think still I think therefore I am is some sort of logical statement, hence all the confusions. Because they a...
March 25, 2024 at 08:05
No you are not. Your reasoning and understanding are spot on.
March 25, 2024 at 00:15
In the course of the proof, they are both assumptions until "I don't exist" is found False, when we checked it against the fact of human life in the w...
March 25, 2024 at 00:14
Yes, correct. You have got it spot on. 'I think therefore I am' implies 'I do not think, therefore I do not exist'. It is logically valid (reasoning v...
March 24, 2024 at 23:20
Great minds think alike. Fully agreed with your fair and accurate analysis and comment on the point. :cool: :up:
March 24, 2024 at 18:48
Suppose this is a typical response when the hidden ignorance was revealed. :nerd:
March 24, 2024 at 17:29
We seem in agreement there even if not in complete degree. Well, that's a progress suppose. Thank you for your input on the point.
March 24, 2024 at 15:10
This is true. It is real to you, but it is nothing to me. Likewise, you would never know what I am thinking. It is true and real to me, but nothing to...
March 24, 2024 at 14:44
Thinking is a subjective mental activity. Content of thinking is private with no access possibility to other minds. To the owner of the mind, thinking...
March 24, 2024 at 14:33
Of course it is valid. Hence the assumption, Not P -> Not Q is valid. That was all it was trying to present. You too, seems not knowing the difference...
March 24, 2024 at 13:41
You are back to your nonsense sophistry again. Bye~
March 24, 2024 at 10:58
I am telling you this again mate. Logic will only show you whether the propositions were derived correctly or not from the assumptions, and that's all...
March 24, 2024 at 10:54
It is just to show that Not P then Not was validly drawn from P -> Q. That is all.
March 24, 2024 at 10:42
You don't seem to know what valid means. Valid just means conclusion was derived from the premises. It doesn't mean conclusion is true. A statement ca...
March 24, 2024 at 10:39
Great points. Thanks for your replies. :cool: :up:
March 24, 2024 at 10:33
Sure, good point. They disputed that Not P -> Not Q doesn't make sense. But the logic checker says it is valid. (p?q)?(¬p?¬q) (P -> Q) = -P or Q (P. B...
March 24, 2024 at 10:27
Just was suggesting a would-be better formula. Not biting your hands at all. My point was the content of Not Q was FALSE, therefore the original assum...
March 24, 2024 at 01:26
K. seem to have had close connection to Christianity and God in many of his writings. How does his concept of God fit into existentialism?
March 24, 2024 at 01:01
Your formula seems incorrect. This is the correct one.
March 24, 2024 at 00:56
Descartes said "He thinks, therefore he is." What are you talking about? Thinking is not totality of mind. Thinking also has objects and contents. Des...
March 23, 2024 at 16:37
To get some ideas. Did you think I quoted him because he was a god? blimey :roll: Could it be a psychological block somewhere in the thought?
March 23, 2024 at 16:18
But rules are for us to apply them into the individual cases. Rules don't exist just for rules themselves, or for its own sake of just existing as rul...
March 23, 2024 at 15:47
This is exactly the point I was making with misuse of Logic. P Bogart is not a math god. He is just a math teacher. At Not P --> Not Q, if you were se...
March 23, 2024 at 14:06
I don't think and I am not is FALSE. so P -> Q is false at that point.
March 23, 2024 at 13:36
The evidence that you are psychologically biased is based on the fact that, you don't even accept my proposition that we can agree to disagree, and en...
March 23, 2024 at 13:27
Yes, but your example and the other's examples are the case of categorical mistake. This is the problem with the symbolic classical logic. Because it ...
March 23, 2024 at 13:18
Good :nerd:
March 23, 2024 at 13:00
I agree with your idea that language is a tool to communicate, and it can be unclear at times for philosophical discussions. But we also have Formal L...
March 23, 2024 at 12:54
Was Kierkegaard an existentialist? In what sense yes or no?
March 23, 2024 at 11:50
Destruction is purely physical, whereas violence is physical plus psychological. Therefore attributing violence to the natural disasters sounds absurd...
March 23, 2024 at 11:45
Good point. I am not going to deny your point straight away. I wouldn't be that rude. But it seems that you talking about again totally different case...
March 23, 2024 at 09:17
I thought our discussion had been over about 10 pages ago. You kept on hounding me with the same daft questions and irrelevant comments for some reaso...
March 23, 2024 at 08:56
Obviously your syntactic confusion has been adding to the whole mix up. Good night.
March 23, 2024 at 01:02
You are totally ignoring the plant you were talking about in the proposition, and suddenly starting to making random inference of holding some other p...
March 23, 2024 at 01:00
But you are not holding the plant. You could be holding a plant. You are not even able to difference between "a" and "the".
