Yeah I am saying that it was not relevant.

What? Are you a good bad man? Is it not self-contradictory? Does it sound freshman level logic enough to you?
August 27, 2021 at 16:35
You didn't have to bring out Christianity into this thread. Or were you intending to confuse?
August 27, 2021 at 16:33
I think you are self-contradicting yourself grossly. In no reference of history, theist is the people who doubt. Theist is people who believes. Not do...

We are talking about the OP. Not every religion in the world. If you want to extend it to this far, then I tell you read the OP again. It is not clear...

Where did you get the doubting theist definition from? Where does it say theist are people who doubt? Just screaming out "This is self-contradiction" ...

Logic has little to do with experience, sense organs or the external world. It is the way human mind works from the faculty of mental processing calle...

No probs. :) I scribble some of my thoughts from readings on the notebooks. ^0^

:100: :up: Thanks for the great OP - very interesting, and I learnt a lot via the thinking and dialectic process. Just returned from lunch. Thanks. Yo...

Ideas without experiments are empty, and experiments without ideas are blind. - Kant

According to Hume, causality doesn't exist. There is no impression of causality in the external world. But we form the idea of causality by habit of l...

Analogue signals can always be converted to digital signals using ADC within the system. I don't see much significance in making and emphasising diffe...

"the unreasonable effectiveness" is also a product of human mind? which is synthetic analytic judgement?
August 27, 2021 at 10:14
Could it also mean "you have possible reason"? "no apparent" sounds like suggesting possibility.
August 27, 2021 at 09:46
intersubjectively? Can a person have multiple consciousness? or share consciousness with other minds?
August 27, 2021 at 09:20
Doubting theist? Unsure atheist? But the definition of theist means that they are the ones who are fully committed to believing in God. Atheist means ...

Sorry, what I meant was "doing my other things for making living" here in the office. :) Wish I was a full time student of philosophy not having to th...
August 26, 2021 at 13:57
Thanks! I tend to be around here on and off most days. I might be doing other stuff, and not able to engage more than would like to. :)
August 26, 2021 at 13:13
Glad to hear it sir. :strong: :wink:

Got a new book called "Young William James Thinking" by P.J. Croce. Didn't know William James was elder brother of the novelist Henry James until gett...

I don't think anyone would be interested in PDP-8 or 11 in this thread. See you are the one who keeps bringing these dinosaur devices insisting they a...
August 26, 2021 at 08:32
PDP-11 had processor in the form of LSI. PDP stands for Programmed Data Processor. To me, your talks on the analogue computers didn't make any sense a...
August 25, 2021 at 21:29
I feel that it is important to clarify the concepts involved in the debate, otherwise you will end up talking about rivers and cakes and mountains, wh...
August 25, 2021 at 20:57
I have asked you about the details on the TR-10 you were talking about in its specs and SW/OS it uses, but you have not given your replies at all. All...
August 25, 2021 at 20:53
I think I have given out the clear reason why analogue devices are not computers with all the necessary conditions for being computer in one of my pos...
August 25, 2021 at 20:49
I have my points, which are obviously different from yours. I was just responding to your raised points. To be honest, I didn't know who you were unti...
August 25, 2021 at 20:38
I don't expect you trust me. Never said that. It is a principle in philosophical discussion (finding truths via dialectic discussion and let the reaso...

I understand Transcendental as "before experience or prior to experience", and Aesthetic as "sensory perception" in the CPR. So, transcendental aesthe...

I did my nightly CPR readings last night, and picked out some contents from the Transcendental Aesthetic. Empirical intuition "The effect of an object...

My point is that rather than accepting the concepts and ideas from the Wiki or other internet sites just because they have typed up and uploaded unto ...
August 25, 2021 at 18:55
I am just trying to clarify the points that you have been throwing at me. No emotions here. Computers must have, the microprocessor input and out devi...
August 25, 2021 at 18:47
What microprocessor did TR-10 have? Which programming languages does it operate on? And what is the O/S for the TR-10?
August 25, 2021 at 18:32
It is not as simple as that. The most significant difference between analogue device and computer is that, the computers have microprocessors equipped...
August 25, 2021 at 18:27
Normally I go with the dictionary definitions on most concepts, but wiki? I don't trust wiki sorry. And in my profession, I have dealt with myriads of...

Just picked up a copy of "Naming and Necessity" by Kripke.

Thank you for being a patient and respectable dialectic interlocutor Prishon in this thread. From the dialectic process I have learnt something new to...
August 25, 2021 at 15:36
For a decent definition of computer in modern times, computers must be able to store, search, compute, and recover data for its minimum functions. Wit...
August 25, 2021 at 15:29
Great point, mate. :up:
August 25, 2021 at 15:24
I questioned until it was clear. I am still in denial of those old machines as computers, but did admit that someone went and wrote them into wiki. BT...
August 25, 2021 at 15:18
Thanks for your explanations. Excellent.
August 25, 2021 at 15:13
If you can't stand dialectics, then why are you here?
August 25, 2021 at 15:11
That is for ANALOG Computing (an acronym for Atari Newsletter And Lots Of Games) . :D Atari is a company name, gone bust long time ago. Sorry for the ...
August 25, 2021 at 14:51
And also tell us exactly what those analogue computers do, and the details of their capable functions in the real world.
August 25, 2021 at 14:44
All computer is digital device by my 1st order definition. Give us your definition of what "analogue" and "computer" is.
August 25, 2021 at 14:37
It sounds like the time when nobody knew what computer was, or was for. Really it looks like too grossly far fetched definition of computer compared f...
August 25, 2021 at 13:59
No I am off to do some work now. Never get offended by philosophical discussions. I just present my views on the points, that is it. I could be wrong,...
