Yes good point. I remember that conversation now. I thought Demings was a great choice. As a Californian I never liked Kamala. Well it's a done deal n...

I ask you to introspect about your sentiments regarding Biden. I'll stipulate that you have your political opinions, which are shared by many and oppo...

Please accept my regrets for not engaging. I have little interest in supertask puzzles in general, and this thread has long since exhausted any points...

I don't think I'm going to get involved in the details at this point. "Let's not and say we did," as the saying goes. Aha. "Identity theory" is first ...

@"Michael"'s point, about which he and I disagree. Don't believe so. But by expressing disagreement I invite rebuttal. I am supertasked out, really. H...

That's as true today as it was back then, logic being a niche, ignored by most math departments. But in terms of antiquity, Godel's work precedes you.

Like I say. Shapiros are not in style in this year's Democratic party. Which reminds me that in 2020, the Dems had an excellent black female VP candid...

Oh I see. That's what I like about discussion forums. You can pick up a topic weeks or even months later. Oh my. We must have a conversation about pro...

Oh. In that case @"Metaphysician Undercover" is right and you are making a point I can't agree with. I take your point about set equality as expressed...

I've bowed out of the supertask discussion, having not typed anything new in weeks. It would be inappropriate for me to comment on anything @"Michael"...

You are not old as Godel's proof, which was published in 1931. Godel's results are therefore more antique than you. Perhaps you're a logicist at heart...

Likewise.

I agree with everything you wrote in this post.

I hear awful things about the teaching of math these days and teaching in general, but I have no personal experience. I did try to help a friend's 13 ...

I ain't draggin' your butt through the Wiki page on extensionality again. That was a very dispiriting experience the last time I did it. However, I'll...

I don't make a distinction between "same as" and "is equal to." In math they're the same. If you have different meanings for them, it does not bear on...

Good point, Whitmer is popular in Michigan and can withstand the Palestinian-supporting component of the left. Makes sense. Still tricky to leapfrog K...

Oh I see. I prefer shorter posts so I don't get lost in the quoting! Yes, I just highlight the whole post and say Quote. "Back then" wasn't that long ...

Not a good year for Shapiros in the Dem party as long as Michigan's in play. What do people in this thread plan to do about Biden? The biggest wildcar...

Et tu? ChatGPT doesn't know anything about mathematical philosophy. It just statistically autocompletes strings it's been fed.

cc: @"Metaphysician Undercover" You guys get a room! LOL. FWIW you convinced me that X = X for sets follows from the definition of = in the underlying...

He's written much more detailed legal analyses that I probably had in mind, if that particular article may have been too general. He's not a liberal b...

You're very welcome. You know you had a profound effect on my life. I had been away from this board for quite some time, a couple of years or more I t...

I agree that's suitable for this forum. Just not for "Intro to Math," which I interpreted as "Last math class the liberal arts majors will take," or s...

Yes I understand that. I didn't realize @"TonesInDeepFreeze" was talking about IofI. Actually I just learned there's an identity of indiscernibles and...

Did I screw up the quoting? Are we having an interesting convo about infinity and time or did I hallucinate that? I do confess that on this site I pro...

Glad to know. Revenge? What do you mean? By writing a long post? Well I write long posts but prefer when others write shorter ones. I haven't solved t...

Correct. Which is why I acknowledged your complaints and said nothing else. If I did, you'd complain that I was minimizing my apology by contextualizi...

Oh I'm terribly sorry. That was for @"keystone". I think I know what might have happened. Sometimes when I'm responding to someone, I have their quote...

What did I miss? I've done all I can. We're at a point where our interests have diverged. I need to wrap up my end so perhaps if you have any final qu...

That's a bridge too far for me.

Yes I see what you meant. Thanks.

I respectfully leave this conversation. We've said it all. i've enjoyed our chat.

I am so appreciative that you straightened me out on this extensionality thing that I can't argue with you about anything. I accept all your criticism...

Ok no more snark.

Are you just committed to picking fights with me? I've apologized several times tonight, for sins real and imagined. And some cosines too. Enough bro'...

Ah. The what is wrong with you and not the wut. I can see that now that you mention it. I am terribly sorry to have offended you once again.

LOL I don't think so but I see what you mean.

I traced back to your mention of the axiom of infinity, and I still fail to see the relevance of the remark in context. I apologize for lashing out re...

Yes, point being that if I'm away from the board for a while I have no recollection of what threads o conversations I'm involved in. I look up my ment...

I would say that your communication style, with me at least, tends to be confusing. The only thing you wrote that made sense to me was the challenge t...

In general, excepting the somewhat lesser-known example of set theories with urlements, the elements are other sets. If we are justified, given the ax...

I"m happy you find meaning in this. I am happy this para has value for you. That's a relief. Common error. Why not? I haven't told anyone not to do th...

Warning, Long-assed post ahead. Please tell me if I'm on target with your concerns. The jokes illustrate the principle. The mathematicians takes the k...

IMO those concepts are far too subtle to be introduced the first day of foundations class. Depending on the level of the class, I suppose. Let alone "...

Ok. Pending either of us having anything new to say, I am out of this conversation. "We" does not include me. I regard Thomson's lamp as a solved prob...

For what it's worth ... liberal legal scholar Jonathan Turley -- although liberals have disowned him, now that he turns out to be off the reservation ...

If I crossed any lines, I apologize. But I think you are equivocating the word "insult." If I tell you, Tones, you are a low down rotten varmint who c...

Shouldn't we all!

I will dispatch a clone. Meaning, I will add it to my input queue, which is now very long. If you supply a two-sentence summary I'll read it. In Silic...
