I would like to see your source showing that those educated in hard science degrees are as likely to be conservative as liberal. To my understanding t...
You will recall I provided a link to the definition of recursion.and self recursion. The issue arises with the claim that there exist no independent a...
This means then that my criticism applies. If this were actually true that there were no independently existent things apart from self then the proble...
I was playing an indie game called sub rosa. When the server is populated it is actually quite an addictive game, but the community seems to have died...
Solipsism is the notion that you only have access to your own existence. If this true then my criticisms apply. What you are describing is the notion ...
That is true. I had not thought of self imposed filter bubbles. It is not clear exactly what are all the points of data that are collected and used to...
No. I am saying that if solipsism was true then the only thing it would be possible to reference would be the self which is self recursive and leads t...
To me you seem to be confusing recursion with self recursion. You say a solipsist can reference a tree then redefine that tree as being a part of self...
Well, like I said you are entitled to your opinion. But the fact is if the only thing that exists is self, then the only thing that can be referenced ...
The definition of recursion. The definition self recursion . Perhaps you believe that if the only thing that exists is self (solipsism) you can avoid ...
I see your point. Hypothetically, if these young men sued the school, they might win that lawsuit. But I still disagree that would be the most likely ...
If solipsism was true then the only thing that existed would be you. And the only thing you could reference would be yourself. It would necessarily in...
I disagree still. I was not attempting to suggest that traditional media was bias free. I was pointing out that modern media is decidedly more bias co...
I can make no sense of this. You ask me to suppose that the point of existence is to avoid suffering, then inform me that the only way to realize that...
Realism is a rejection of the claim that we are confined exclusively to self reference. Exclusive self reference leads to an ill defined infinite regr...
It is not really a matter of showing consciousness is decidable it is about a semantic choice. What do we mean by the term consciousness? We use the t...
It depends on how you define the term conscious. Either consciousness is decidable or it is undecidable. If consciousness is decidable then solving th...
Well my point was this... In theory traditional news media was not bias by design even if it becomes somewhat bias in practice. That is not true in th...
I disagree. I think it would be easy to demonstrate how rating women according to sexual attractiveness is not a policy condoned by Harvard guidelines...
If the code of conduct states that the student is expected to behave as a representative of the institution and the institution does not rate women ac...
My point was that there exists no method for demonstrating religious claims. With science the reasonable skeptic can reproduce results by applying the...
The problem is the term fitness in the context of eugenics is often defined normative. For example the Nazi's deemed jews to be unfit. To presume to k...
There is no way to prove this logically. If it were true there would be no way to prove anything logically. Exclusive self reference leads to an ill d...
It is simple. Again the school obviously does not rate women this way so obviously it is not in keeping with school values. The school is not being un...
I did answer. That is a matter of common sense. There is no need for the school to state explicitly that as a representative of the school you should ...
Rather than focus on what in particular is the content that is being filtered for our consumption we should focus on the fact that companies are attem...
I agree to an extent with one caveat. In the modern world it is possible that you are exposed exclusively to information that is tailored for your tas...
If only monks can reproduce and confirm then that is not knowledge. Knowledge would indicate that any person can conduct the experiment and produce th...
I disagree. It is common sense really. The young men are likely expected to conduct themselves in a way that upholds the values of the school. There i...
I am sorry you are having difficulty grasping the issue. Maybe this article about self referencing will help you understand. https://plato.stanford.ed...
I think not. It is debt that drives globalization and intertwines foreign economies to the point where they become interdependent. I don't mean public...
I disagree. I look at it like this. Either there is some standard of conduct which is expected of the students or there is not such a standard. If the...
Personal experience may be sufficient to convince you personally, however you cannot claim to know god exists if that knowledge can not be demonstrate...
The many worlds interpretation exists to preserve determinism. Many experts hope this interpretation is true because it can be mathematically modeled....
Both the self and not-self would be incoherent if solipsism was true because of infinite self referencing. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Self-Recursion...
Assuming that the reality was that there was no distinction from self and not self would leave you in an ill defined infinite regressing loop from whi...
I can't believe Trump won?! And now there is a republican majority in the house and senate. The one thing that will probably happen is they will do bo...
I don't believe the distinction between the mind and the brain is necessary. I have never seen any argument such that by force of logic we must conclu...
You have to be born with a high I.Q. High I.Q. is an inhereted trait. However that alone is not enough. You must also obsess about the are in which yo...
An A is a symbol for a distinct object from anything which is Not A. In order for A to equal A it must also be true that Not A is never equal to A. Th...
Those arguing for the case of solipsism don't seem to realize that not only is such skepticism unnecessary. It is logically impossible to even prove t...
If you only had access to self this would lead to an ill defined infinite regress such that you could be sure of nothing. Not the existence of your se...
That we can draw distinction from self and not self falsifies solipsism. If solipsism was true we would not be able to form such a distinction because...
