Bitcoin was hacked, I am sure it was difficult but really the person cannot spend what they stole without exposing themselves, so basically the stole ...

That is what I did when I encountered the question, but do as you like. So let us assume, objectively, that everything is futile. Why should I care su...

We are not conversing about simple yes or no questions. We were debating a very particular yes or no question that is not so simple as you would like ...

So you want to derail the thread in hopes of making some point? Why not just make the point and stay on topic?
December 26, 2016 at 04:15
? Why?
December 26, 2016 at 04:13
If that answer is yes, your position is contradicted, if the answer is no, your position has been contradicted. I pointed this out, and that was my on...

If there are then that means that judgments are not dependent upon minds. If there are not then that means judgments are not equal to truth values.
December 26, 2016 at 03:59
If truth value is a judgment there is a contradiction. It would be the case that there is a truth value in world x when there are no minds, which woul...

Again relative to what? Am I to imagine some cosmic being that judges the value of all of human life? Do I take a consensus of the living and ask them...

That is not my issue though, just because some people find no teleological purpose that justifies their own existence, this does not mean that it is f...
December 26, 2016 at 03:37
Yes but the truth, or lack thereof, of this depends on world x, meaning that truth depends on world x not minds in world y.
December 26, 2016 at 03:12
Well I tried to reason with you, but it is your right to believe what you choose. What you don't get to do is claim that what you believe is a truth a...
December 26, 2016 at 03:08
Truth value is not equal to a judgment and truth does not depend on judgment. If it is true that there are no judgments on world x, then truth value i...
December 26, 2016 at 02:55
If there are no judgments in world x because there are no minds in world x, that means there is truth in world x even though there are no minds or jud...
December 26, 2016 at 02:50
That depends on world x. So judgments depend on minds, and worlds. Which contradicts the notion that judgement depend exclusively on minds. Whether th...

There are issues with the blockchain that concern me. The first issue is privacy, it is possible to monitor each transaction of the blockchain. The se...

You said religion is not about the natural world, science is. Religion has no place then, if what you say is true, trying to tell people facts about t...

Most of us will not contribute profoundly to the benefit of all of humanity, yes that is true. But for the 99% we do contribute profoundly to each oth...
December 26, 2016 at 00:49
This brings up an interesting point, if religion has nothing to do with the natural world, then they should stay out of the classroom. Religion has no...
December 26, 2016 at 00:42
Science, as compared to other methods, works. That is to say it is the most reliable method for producing applicable knowledge about the world. This i...
December 26, 2016 at 00:30
You are claiming it is neither true or false that there is no truth in world x. As a consequence it is then neither true or false that truth is exclus...
December 26, 2016 at 00:13
Been over this already, I have contributed all I care to on this subject, and you can review my previous posts where I have discussed the issues of co...
December 26, 2016 at 00:04
I did make the case that truth about worlds are world dependent and not mind dependent. I used a proof by contradiction. If it is true about the world...
December 25, 2016 at 06:02
Sigh It can't be a truth about the world because then it would be a truth that depends upon the world and would contradict "all truth depends on minds...
December 25, 2016 at 05:24
It is not true of any world that "All truth depends on the mind" If that was true about the world it would be a contradiction. So it is not a truth ab...

I am claiming that it the statement "truth is exclusively mind dependent and truth is world dependent" is a contradiction. If truth is also world depe...

??? I do not claim that truth is exclusively mind dependent so I do not have to provide the diagram of that claim. I provided the diagram from my clai...

I don't see a contradiction here. https://s28.postimg.org/wptzfhdvx/Venn.jpg Perhaps you could point it out if there is one. I do see a contradiction ...

Not in this diagram. https://s30.postimg.org/47vdkt2wh/image.jpg In that diagram truth is NOT exclusively mind dependent. That would be a contradictio...
December 25, 2016 at 04:38
Then it is not a truth (? is only in F) that some G's are not F's. Which contradicts what is depicted in the diagram, the diagram illustrates that som...
December 25, 2016 at 04:35
Again 'Truth is exclusively dependent upon minds" Is not logically equivalent to the statement "Truth is dependent upon mind and upon the world" One h...
December 25, 2016 at 03:04
Note the venn diagram for a conjunction. So the statement "Truth is dependent upon the mind and truth is dependent upon the world" looks like this. ht...
December 25, 2016 at 02:01
I pointed out that the statement "Truth is exclusively dependent upon minds" is not logically equivalent to "Truth is dependent upon minds and truth i...
December 25, 2016 at 01:18
No. I am saying that if some G's are F, and some G's not F. Then you cannot say that All G's have

Who argues that inequity is wrong?
December 24, 2016 at 22:37
This is not equivalent to my example. So if you say "This is exclusively a triangle and it is also a shape" It does not have set membership of exclusi...

If the set of people contains men then it is a contradiction to say. "This product is exclusively for women and this product is for all people" becaus...
December 24, 2016 at 20:36
Ok but it would be a contradiction to say that it is both. "This product is exclusively for women and this product is for people." The set of people a...

Is not logically equivalent to "This product is for people"
December 24, 2016 at 20:33
Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_conjunction Note the truth table https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_conjunction#Truth_table So "that man...
December 24, 2016 at 20:31
Not in my view, it is a rule of logic.
December 24, 2016 at 20:19
I did explain the difference. The logical operator AND is the difference.

No, they are not.

If Everest is part of the world, then the peak of Everest is NOT exclusively Everest depedent, because Everest is part of the world, then Everests pea...

Except saying "truth is exclusively mind dependent" and "truth is mind dependent and world dependent" are not the same thing. They are actually differ...
December 24, 2016 at 19:55
Ok. But then we have the statement "Truth is mind dependent and world dependent." You can't have the statement "Truth is exclusively mind dependent" a...
December 24, 2016 at 19:10
I don't care about minds. I am pointing out that the truth of the statement "Truth is mind dependent" is not a world dependent truth by definition. Re...
December 24, 2016 at 18:56
Making sharp distinction by pointing out that the statement "The truth is mind dependent" is not a truth, without contradiction, about the world.
December 24, 2016 at 18:50
No that is a truth about minds, because truth is mind dependent not world dependent. It cannot be that the statement "Truth is mind dependent" is a wo...
