I think everyone has different goals in life. It is a value of one's psychology. Some will never think about goals in life. Just living healthy and ha...

I think beliefs are not necessary conditions for someone making decisions or taking actions as you said. But my point was, there are different types o...

This is where two sides of points are needed. Subjectively, I am the centre of the universe. All the objects in the external world, people and the ear...

From Life and Death point of view, if Death is viewed as Evil, then it is negativity in extreme. But then one's own death does not exist while living....

Would it be able to cover the area of the Traditional and Modal Logic, where they cannot cope with some of the real world cases in the arguments? Exis...

Math had started out of practical uses in ancient Egypt for building the pyramids etc.

When I was on twitter, I didn't like the way some of the people in twitter were behaving like the Wildebeesty mob on some of the topics.
July 25, 2021 at 09:42
I was on Twitter before, but closed it. At the time, there were a few traits that I was not too happy with it. But after a while, I am wondering how o...

Haven't got a scooby clue who that bloke is.

I feel it more boils down to one's own value in life, rather than ethics. Depending on the value of one's life, the idea, nature and act of examining ...

I think Evil has the feel of that man made, man based and man created badness. Devil more sounds like esoteric, and religious nature in its origin. It...

I feel Inconsistent Math is a misnomer. It would be better called "Deconstructed Math" or "Existential Math", or how about Possible World Math :D
July 24, 2021 at 15:00
Sure. That sounds like again the different interpretations stemmed from different definitions of "inconsistent". Still wondering if it would be much p...

Could you please show the detailed arguments for the verification? Thanks.
July 22, 2021 at 15:45
Is it a verified knowledge or proposition?
July 22, 2021 at 15:39
What is that belief based on?
July 22, 2021 at 15:25
Sure. I think it does. :fire: :up:
July 22, 2021 at 15:24
Yes, I recall some miraculous cases of people coming back to life after pronounced dead. Would it not be the case of mistakenly pronounced death, when...

:fire: :up: OK. I will go with that.

From the placebo taker's point of view, it was a true knowledge? From the doctors (the giver)'s point of view, it was false knowledge. But until the p...

I see some premises as arguments and some arguments as premises depending on the block of texts in the arguments. The point is that it is not coherent...

When socrates died, he has already died, so the premise that socrates couldn't have died when he died seems invalid. When someone is already dead, it ...

The point of Mathematics is the universal consistency, accuracy and infallible knowledge it gives. If it is inconsistent, then it loses its' point. We...

God theories talk about how the universe had been created too. He is just a quantum physicist. They are not philosophers. :) But it is interesting to ...

That also confirms that belief of Placebo is not faith type.
July 21, 2021 at 18:02
The difference between false belief and faith would be, the former will turn to feeling of anger, stupid or having been manipulated when being told it...

Great posts thank you. This is what I think about the points. I feel that there are different kinds of beliefs of different nature. To analyse how the...

I can see your point. Beliefs and trusts crumble with emergence of the negative evidence and knowledge about something one believed and trusted. I rec...

In my view it is not wrong to say that the entire Philosophy from the ancient time of Thales up to now, could be defined as Analytic. The recent anglo...
