Maybe you are not a martyr to your values.

I don't understand this. Sorry. Can you rephrase or go into more depth?

That was sort of my point. It is not social constructs that accounts for some gender disparities. For example most men are not willing or interested i...

Having a difference in priorities does not make women less capable in my opinion. I agree that men and women make different decisions based on differe...

The point I was making was that I do not believe there is grounds to argue that women are less capable than men are, say for example at confrontation,...

I pretty much agree here. I think that women are not as competitive as men are. Women in general seem to be unwilling to put in the same level of effo...

Welcome back.

You are claiming it is a standard view, but you can't substantiate that, and you believe that is amusing? Ok.

(Y) :D

If you want to claim that your view is the standard view, there should be some evidence that substantiates that claim. Simply insisting that you were ...

It is amusing to me that you have gone to school and regard the matter as settled. Rarely is that the case in philosophy.

Simply insisting that you were taught that it was the standard view is not very convincing either. Something like a poll among professionals should be...

His bibliography makes him more credible than you.

So if a stone weighs x amount. A person can dispute this as a fact and claim that it actually weighs y amount? Because facts are just what you have be...

I guess another way to interpret my question would be Why can't it be true that facts are what is the case regardless of your beliefs and a fact that ...

Is it a fact that facts are what is the case regardless of your belief or is it true that facts are what is the case regardless of your belief?

That is my point. P-zombies lack consciousness from definition only, there is no analytical reason that they are not conscious. We cannot, from our en...

Many people criticize the argument because it is an equal logical possibility that we are p-zombies. The problem is it is just as conceivable that we ...

This is strictly semantic though... If we can conceive of p-zombies then consciousness isn't physical We can conceive of p-zombies Therefore, consciou...

The p-zombie argument is conceivable in a semantic way only. We can conceivably define consciousness such that strictly physical humans do not possess...

Taxless utopia might be a good dream. But that does not make it realistic. Conservatives are no different than libs, they get just as butt hurt when y...

They do. And I pointed out the protests to Obama's election. Conservatives get butt hurt when you threaten their fantasies.

Playing dumb. Hope that works out for you.

Don't play dumb. http://www.revelist.com/politics/america-responds-obama/5855 Obama severely butthurt the right for 8 years.

Again the conservatives defend their fantasy of taxless utopia just as butthurtfully.

You play dumb about the liberal position. I can pretend like there is no nuance in the conservative position. This is the post truth era we are in, we...

No I am not that far gone that I believe in taxless utopia.

Of course he does, he even dodged taxes for how many years and claimed it was because he was smart. Trump preaches the same taxless utopian nonsense t...

Now you have a martyr fantasy? Yeah you are real practical.

Yes he does. You preaches the same taxless utopia nonsense that other conservatives do.

That is what I said, you believe you have to impose your notions of virtue on others.

Sure. Taxless utopia is more realistic.

Again you missed the point; Trump's proposals for society are not very realistic either.

This would be fine if it were true, but you also want to impose your 'virtue' on others.

lol taxless utopia is a realistic goal though and will solve all the worlds problems

I think you missed the point. Protesting is a right regardless is you happen to believe it is crazy or immoral. You know our basic rights protected by...

oh sorry

I actually disagree. I don't think the dems should be as bad or worse than the reps were with Obama. I think they we should do it the rep way and let ...

Protesting is supposed to be a right. Regardless if others believe you have "a reasonable goal" or not.

That is pretty much how the zombie argument works. P-zombies have no consciousness by definition only. It is certainly conceivable that we could defin...

The difference is semantic not analytic. P-zombies are not conscious by definition.

I guess you win then.

Egad?!? What is this a 50s comic?

This is cool thanks for the share!

So are you saying all tautologies are question begging? Are you making the point that categorical and propositional logic are not the same?

I am not sure I follow here... I get from this that you are saying that having a model does not entail there will be an empirical verification of that...

I am sorry but it does not make sense to say that physicalism has nothing to do with formal logic. A great many physicalist philosophers have attempte...

Man I don't have time to link you to all the author's that have made formal arguments for physicalism. I thought your quibble was whether or not there...
