I am talking contrapositives where there is no truth value.
December 27, 2016 at 16:56
If there is no judgments = P (Which has no truth value because truth value is equal to judgement) then there are no truth values (which cannot be cons...
December 27, 2016 at 16:51
And my point is how do you know that it takes a mind and that it does not occur in nature without minds? What do you mean by justifiable end? Further ...
December 27, 2016 at 16:44
Yes I realize that you don't understand. But there is nothing more I can do. I have explained it as clearly as I can. I am pointing out the contraposi...
December 27, 2016 at 16:19
I am saying in logic your claims do not obtain truth value because they are claims that depended upon things without truth value.
December 27, 2016 at 16:14
I am saying logic.
December 27, 2016 at 16:12
If there is no truth value in a world without minds, then it does not obtain that it is false that truth value is world dependent. Similarly with your...
December 27, 2016 at 16:10
Again as I have pointed out already. Claiming that there is no truth value will mean, as a consequence that the claim that truth is equal to judgments...
December 27, 2016 at 16:04
Yes I pointed out a contradiction with Terrapins view that truths were logically equivalent to judgments. We imagined a world x where there were no mi...
December 27, 2016 at 15:55
lol This again?
December 27, 2016 at 15:31
You said there were no truths in world x, which does not deal with the issue, it is still a contradiction that it cannot be true that there are no tru...
December 27, 2016 at 15:17
Terrapin's view is that truth is entirely and exclusively dependent upon minds such that if there were no minds there would be no truths. This leads t...

I don't think the vid covers much new ground if you have read thinking fast and slow. I have not read the book myself, but in the vid he does mention ...

I thought you might appreciate this vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di6kl4ViWgk

I think one of the reasons conservatism is associated with religiousness is because that political party made great efforts to secure them as a voter ...
December 27, 2016 at 14:21
I have no clue why, I just recall surveys that show that those who express religious beliefs also tend to be politically conservative or vice versa if...
December 27, 2016 at 13:47
The reason I do this is because there is a statistical correlation.
December 27, 2016 at 13:42
How is it that minds cause things to exist as they do, why should there not be 6 when we count at one time, and 8 when we count the next? If there is ...
December 27, 2016 at 13:40
I am glad you understand that it is not reasonable to insist that some one must agree with you first, before what you claim can be understood. However...
December 27, 2016 at 12:53
lol I just reread this. You are basically saying that unless I agree with you, I don't understand and can't critique your view. lol That is not very r...
December 27, 2016 at 11:29
Ok. I believe you. In your mind your view is not contradictory.
December 27, 2016 at 11:19
This is circular. We know the quantity 7 depends on minds, because we have minds therefor the quantity 7 depends on those minds? This amounts to sayin...
December 27, 2016 at 08:13
7 is a real quantity without minds. Understanding that there is 7 of something requires minds sure, but that there can be 7 things requires no minds. ...
December 27, 2016 at 06:55
I would not say you are passionate about a subject if you become deterred from pursuing it because you can not achieve the same mastery as a great gen...
December 27, 2016 at 06:25
I agree with you because I feel this is more of social site than it is anything else. But it is my understanding that the mods take the site more seri...
December 27, 2016 at 05:26
Sorry I don't have a link to the post.
December 27, 2016 at 03:43
They did have a thumbs up apparently, but scrapped it in a vote.
December 27, 2016 at 03:27
7 is a naturally occurring quantity whether there is some mind to count it or not. This is an important point. The realist claims that we can model na...
December 27, 2016 at 03:24
Yeah sorry I don't follow here. There are plenty of examples in nature where abstractions occur. Golden ratio, fibonacci sequence, and an animal gives...
December 27, 2016 at 02:54
I fail to see the issue here? Why can't mental objects be real, or physical?
December 27, 2016 at 02:22
How would I be sure I was not?
December 27, 2016 at 02:04
I would answer 4?
December 27, 2016 at 02:01
I am surprised you scored dead center, it seemed to me you are particularly right leaning.
December 27, 2016 at 01:52
You could never be sure you were not comparing like with like either.

December 27, 2016 at 00:55
From what you describe here, you don't need me at all, you need someone to follow along and take cues from you and answer how you want when you want. ...
December 27, 2016 at 00:21
What I know, so far, is that you have not put forth a view that does not lead to contradiction.
December 26, 2016 at 23:50
Let me simplify further. Your position is basically if there are no minds then there are no truths. I pointed out this leads to a contradiction becaus...
December 26, 2016 at 07:03
To be honest I am getting kind of tired of repeating myself here. I was hoping you had something new to contribute? Again I pointed out, that if there...
December 26, 2016 at 06:49
You claim that truth is exclusively mind dependent and you stated that in your view that truth value is logically equivalent to Judgments. . Is there ...
December 26, 2016 at 06:11
I would say that it is not that I don't understand the point view you have expressed here, it is more that I don't agree that it is logically valid. I...
December 26, 2016 at 05:43
Is there some issue you have related to the topic? We are derailing the thread at this point.
December 26, 2016 at 05:16
I can place value on non-existence, it is more futile than existence. I say this because I definitely cannot imagine any pursuit with a more futile go...
December 26, 2016 at 05:12
The reason it does not matter if I answer yes or no is because your claims are contradicted either way. Happy now?
December 26, 2016 at 05:07
It was not as simple a question as you would have liked it would seem.
December 26, 2016 at 05:00
How can the default (existing) be more futile than not existing?
December 26, 2016 at 04:59
I already gave examples of when some things are not as futile as other things. Everything is not equally futile.
December 26, 2016 at 04:55
I did explain. It does not matter what answer I give, both answer contradict claims you have made. I don't really care what the answer should be, I ca...
December 26, 2016 at 04:52
Are you saying it is equally likely that should not exist?
December 26, 2016 at 04:48
I did exactly that, I gave an example to measure futility, we can compare the futility of different goals to get an objective measure of the objective...
