I believe I'm losing this point. I do know about chaos. Yes, I think I have lost this debate to @"Tarskian". Except that he thinks programs have "free...

I am actually confused about what you wrote. I outlined the basic facts about the sepaations and the cages, and you responded by complaining about my ...

I was influenced by your kind words and I did my best to at least explain and justify my political feelings. Especially since I'm no Republican nor a ...

I'll concede you the Halting problem, but certainly not that programs have free will, if that was the claim. Nothing is "freely making decisions." Tha...

You have swallowed the psyop. The J6 committee was a total fraud. Yes back on topic. The election. I don't see how the Dems have much leverage. Biden ...

You should read what I wrote. And take it to heart. And I do thank you for the writing prompts. I've had these thoughts in mind for a long time. You w...

Ah, Russia Russia Russia, another symptom of TDS. Let us take a brief walk through history. FDR joined up with brutal dictator Stalin to defeat the Na...

I am not sure if Rice's theorem means what you say it does. If you give me a program, say its listing printed out on paper; and you give me its inputs...

Oh it turns out I DIDN'T miss this story. This was the bogus border bill that would have codified Biden's disastrous border policies, while bringing t...

I am definitely not authoritative on that. I know that Russell wanted to develop math from logic, and Gödel busted Russel's dreams. Beyond that I am t...

Does that make Americans illogical? :-)

We saw the videos. Unjustly locking people up for three years does not a crime make. It makes an illegitimate DOJ. Shamefully so. Else how explain the...

Then you DO understand me perfectly. 1) With regard to math, "same as", "=", and "is identical with" are synonymous. Period. 2) With respect to everyt...

I enjoyed it. You have made an impressively detailed reading of the article, way more than I did. I am in complete agreement. But just try to explain ...

You made my point for me. In 2014 when Obama was separating families and putting kids in cages, the MSM did not widely report the story. People were n...

Actually I never formally studied any probability theory. I've seen measure theory but not the fine points of probability. I've never seen probabiliti...

Perhaps you can explain what I'm misinformed about re the family separations and cages. If I'm understanding you correctly, when Obama separated famil...

That is not my point. For whatever reason, I've always had difficulty with your posts. Maybe it's the symbols. Maybe it's the words. I don't know. I'l...

Thanks for that summary. I apparently missed this story. I did a quick search and evidently the GOP Senators rejected his bill. I looked at a couple o...

Symbols need explanatory words to go with them. This is probably more true in math than in logic.

Coming soon to a bankrupt empire near you! :-)

Tarskian, You may be interested in a recent paper by Joel David Hamkins. Turing never proved the impossibility of the Halting problem! He actually pro...

Threat. He's a negotiator. He lobbed a few missiles at Syria. Drone strike against Soleimani. No new wars. He used threats to keep the peace. I didn't...

Had to look that one up, perhaps I missed your point. Along with the fly.

I don't think it's just quality. My grad school was high quality but no logic or foundations to speak of. The one set theorist when I was there didn't...

Decades of interest in Mexico, traveling in Mexico, living in Mexico, paying attention to border politics. If you don't know about Biden's trafficking...

Not quite my point, but thanks.

Not true, but funny. I'm sure you're right. Just a little beyond my awareness.

Chuckie Schumer is said to be "privately" open to opposing Biden. Pelosi gave an ambiguous statement coded to mean she's sticking in the knife, but ve...

Ok. You started out saying that Republicans are authoritarians. Then you reverted to Trump alone, and only because of the American Reichstag fire that...

It's not a problem to me. I suspect, but have no supporting evidence, that it's not a problem even for most philosophers. It's a problem for you, and ...

I never gave any thought to the relation of truth and probability. Probability is just a number we assign to an event. Before you roll a die there is ...

Yes. "Sequence" and "infinite sequence" are basically synonymous, since finite sequences aren't of interest in this context. It's late, time for bed. ...

It's typically a land mine of ignorance and confusion. Mathematically there is no question whatsoever. .999... = 1 is a theorem of ZF once the appropr...

I'm convinced I am one. Its statistically more likely than that I just showed up 13 billion years after the big bang. The technical point is that if t...

Ok so it's all J6. Bunch of unarmed people are invited in by the Capitol cops, and Pelosi and the hysterical Dems whip up a national hysteria. In the ...

Oh man, you do have a unique take on things.

I have followed southern border politics for decades. Here's how it works. I am going to explain some things to you now. An adult shows up at the bord...

I think that even if Biden bowed out gracefully (unlikely) or the Dems forced him out (quite unseemly, also unlikely) and elevated Kamala, whose popul...

Whoa, the subject is multiverse cosmology in eternal inflation. Physics theory. Not math. Nothing whatever to do with CH, though I do take your point ...

I hardly see the GOP as authoritarian. Going back a ways, which of these postwar GOP presidents were authoritarians? Ike, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush 41...

Oh I see what happened. @"Ludwig" brought up the old .999... = 1 chestnut in the staircase thread, and it apparently got moved over here to revivify t...

Are there a countable or uncountable infinity of worlds? Reason I ask is that there is no uniform probability measure on a countably infinite set. In ...

Ok forget that. But 0 and 1 are perfectly legitimate probabilities. After all if I roll a die, the probability is 1 that it will be either 1, 2, 3, 4,...

I recall being amazed that Biden made it alive through those debates. I was not the only one with that expectation. I never thought he'd make it to el...

Sadly this is all over my head. Maybe I'll crack open a logic book. If I could only dispatch a clone. That looks interesting.

If you are backing off the stroke remark, I'll be glad to give you a pass on that. I did take it as representative of the massive anger that Dem sudde...

Ok. I see your point. Lately wishing I'd paid attention in logic class.

Ok. You and I can agree to disagree on many things, and this is another such. But don't you know that he's been getting the questions ahead of time at...

You never said that LOL! Now that I know what you mean, it's helpful. I see your point. But I don't always catch your meaning from your symbology. I s...
