What part of truth value or mind is objective?
December 31, 2016 at 20:56
If your judgements don't correspond to something objective, they are not facts. None of the statement "All truths (which are subjective) are subjectiv...
December 31, 2016 at 20:39
There are no objective truths, by your definition, so the "truth" part of the statement "All truths are subjective" does not correspond to anything ob...
December 31, 2016 at 20:29
Right, so your statements are not objective facts. And they only correspond to the subjective case. For example "All truths are subjective" only corre...

The statement "All truths are subjective" is not an objective statement if it has a truth value.
December 31, 2016 at 20:16
I point it out because the truth of this has nothing to do with what is objectively the case.
December 31, 2016 at 20:13
This is only subjectively true.
December 31, 2016 at 20:08
I agree. The facts are the facts, regardless of subjective truths.
December 31, 2016 at 20:03
Exactly. Your judgement does not matter. That was my point. What is the objective fact is the case regardless of what you believe is true.
December 31, 2016 at 20:01
Right, the facts don't hinge on your judgement. And it is only your judgement that it is an objective fact. You can't move from your judgement that it...
December 31, 2016 at 19:57
The point is that it is only subjectively true that it is an objective fact. Not objectively true.
December 31, 2016 at 19:53
Right it is not objectively true that it is an objective fact. We agree.
December 31, 2016 at 19:48
It is not an objective fact that is true.
December 31, 2016 at 19:43
It is not an objective fact, it is just a subjective fact that it is your opinion. I did not derail the thread, you mentioned something you believed a...
December 31, 2016 at 19:39
You say this as if it could be objectively true. It is just your opinion, you realize that right?
December 31, 2016 at 19:33
It can't be objectively true what you say. So basically your are saying it is your subjective opinion. Why should any one care about your subjective o...
December 31, 2016 at 19:25
How can you that is true?
December 31, 2016 at 19:12
Maybe you have a source where Einstein himself said that he meditates, prays, practices celibacy, and tries to live like Jesus did. I am pretty sure t...
December 31, 2016 at 17:01
That is not what Einstein said. He even clarified this.
December 31, 2016 at 16:45
I was told that post-truth is just media hype.
December 31, 2016 at 16:35
Agustino is right, being insulting does give the mods an excuse to be doing something while they are online.
December 31, 2016 at 15:58
I am not sure how it applies to formal arguments in symbolic form. How would you be able to distinguish it from valid forms?
December 31, 2016 at 15:56
Happy new year!
December 31, 2016 at 15:46
I think mosesquine's point was that it was not a formal fallacy.
December 31, 2016 at 15:45
That looks like something a spy would post.
December 31, 2016 at 15:38
Totally left out eastern traditions?
December 31, 2016 at 15:19
How could you know if this were true?
December 31, 2016 at 15:02
What is the difference between begging the question and having a valid circular argument? How is that argument an example of one but not the other.

Back in my day they referred to it as the information superhighway.

Is tonight star trek meme night at TPF?
December 31, 2016 at 01:03
Fair enough. I had not thought about that.

Ayn Rand...though I am not sure she even counts.

What about those that can't afford a therapist? We should still avoid medication because some people might think we are weak willed?
December 31, 2016 at 00:55
That's the rub, no amount of evidence is ever enough.

How does coming to terms with medical depression help if you are not going to treat it?
December 31, 2016 at 00:46
I was skeptical about treatment for a long time myself, until my condition got worse. I pretty much had to resort to treatment because my mental illne...
December 31, 2016 at 00:32
I think maybe we are not talking about the same thing. I was talking about medical depression which can be treated as a chemical imbalance.
December 31, 2016 at 00:05
Sorry, you seemed to imply that people with depression should not seek treatment. I know from experience that is not good advice.
December 30, 2016 at 23:59
Yeah where is that guy?
December 30, 2016 at 22:54
Hey, I am just pointing out how the term gets used. Not how it out to be used.

December 30, 2016 at 22:31
Ha!
December 30, 2016 at 22:11
pretty cool stuff man, thanks for the shares
December 30, 2016 at 22:06
I think it was a valid point. Also I pointed out that many people that suffer from depression do embrace it, and that is part of the problem. It is no...
December 30, 2016 at 22:05
lol thanks

Yes, eventually all the anti-realists will die, and there will still be a reality around.
December 30, 2016 at 21:54
I was claiming that there is no way to demonstrate that nominalism is true or false. I don't think it is possible.
December 30, 2016 at 21:50
this is extremely ironic to me
December 30, 2016 at 21:41
How would you propose this could be demonstrated?
