Because you give up the responsibility of handling authority over yourself, to that of an external thing/person. (you can read more in the longer post...
And yours didn't? Go back and read your answer to my post, its close to a fallacy-riddled interpretation of the writing I did instead of trying a more...
When you have created an external authority, do you have will over it? If you create an AI that rules over you, it is not you who rules over you, it's...
This is about freedom/authority if you want to go through all aspects of why authoritarian governments rise to power its a much longer post and not ab...
As I defined it It doesn't matter if the art is modified and later perceived in the wrong way. Just as Greek statues are collectively considered white...
There are strong observations in psychology and sociology about how we crave authority. Sartre was true in his idea about not being blessed by freedom...
In my belief-argument (another thread) I mention three types (A, B and C). A, being an unsupported belief, irrational, based on nothing more than the ...
I think you misunderstand what I meant there. Your comment was that every belief is unsupported in the beginning and this is true; whenever we have an...
Why should fantasy and facts be mixed up in order to make people think? Truth and fantasy should be clearly separated. What was the question? And cons...
This is why I think the Chinese system, especially since it exists within a highly corrupt and totalitarian political system, won't work at all. But i...
It is not possible to just decide not to feel. We can train ourselves to be instinctively ready for feelings and through that have a conscious cushion...
Thank you, you prove to be a step higher than many others when it comes to a proper dialectic, I appreciate that. :up: Supported belief is a belief th...
As all others when pointing out these flaws. The problem with the arguments is that they were made long before any of the modern understanding and kno...
That is not what I said, is it? "proving what happened before the Big Bang is outside physics" is not the same as "How can it prove something outside ...
Also, in what way does CA in any way make p3 Theism relies on an unsupported belief false? How many assumptions must be needed before a belief in God ...
How can it prove something outside known physics without assuming the properties of what is outside known physics? That is assuming a lot that hasn't ...
They are valid in that they point to a first cause but... p1 Cosmological and design arguments point to an original point of origin for the universe. ...
I had a line of premises concluding on theism, but didn't want to see pitchforks but, anyway, here's the third part of that argument: p1 Unsupported b...
I can form an argument as to why irrational unsupported belief is unreasonable, as I did in my belief-argument thread. It's still evolving though, per...
Except that in the case of love I actually don't "believe in love", I rationalize that it is a concept that we use in language to describe our attachm...
But in order for your point to be an argument, even inductively, you need true premises and if there's a chance one of them isn't you need to modify i...
This is exactly the point I've been discussing throughout. You propose a conclusion that is definitive, meaning, you see it as black and white, either...
I asked about p1, your conclusion of the no-seeum argument. If the conclusion you mention in p1 is instead "there's no reason to believe it to exist",...
You proposed a conclusion to the argument you are criticizing. I asked if that is the actual conclusion or if the actual conclusion is "there's no rea...
My point is that to say "it exist" or "it does not exist" is irrelevant since a belief in either doesn't follow epistemic responsibility. Any claim of...
Why do you conclude it with "it does not exist" and not "there's no reason to believe it to exist"? Can you spot the difference between those two? One...
And you stop reading, don't understand the core conclusion of my counter-argument and use the missed point as your reason to ignore the counter-argume...
Why do you even bother doing philosophy if that's your response to a counter-argument? I recommend that you look at your reasoning with the last thing...
It doesn't matter if your point was misinterpreted since you still talk about existing things not yet proven but do not see the difference with observ...
A virus, atom and quark didn't exist until we named them? Really? So people didn't get sick with viruses before they were discovered and named? The at...
Misread the OP, thought the computer calculated it by playing the moves. But, let's say that it does just this. Wouldn't that count as the games being...
But if the computer already calculated it to 10^80, it would have reached that end and therefore these exist, as they have been tested out? Or can the...
This actually sounds like a better idea! :ok: I'm often using this as a resource and way of reminding some things that might slip my memory from time ...
I think the misconception about this is that they should be rules, but they are tips. It's not about limiting people's ability to write philosophy, bu...
But can also be used to point out holes in an argument in a very clear and to the point way than incomprehensible counter-arguments that goes on for p...
I only see fallacies used in arguments when the other one is actually brutally bad at making a point without totally bonkers reasoning or ad hominems....
Baden mentioned that it's not correct to say valid premises and true arguments. Harry then countered by a quote that says just that, which made him co...
...and these things are not only a tool in order to spot counter-arguments that doesn't work, but it can also be used to help someone who's interested...
Hahahahaha, didn't see that :rofl: Maybe just the wikis? Biases https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases Fallacies https://en.wikipedia....
Sounds good! :ok: Found these two, which are a nice and clear to some fallacies and biases, maybe these links? Fallacies https://yourlogicalfallacyis....
Yes, I think there's a lot of misunderstanding towards what a fallacy and bias really is. If we are interested in truth, we cannot arrive there if eve...
Maybe have it in the already pinned post as an addition to what's already pinned there? The suggestion wasn't really about "rules", but recommendation...
This is straw-manned. Of course not everything around sexuality is a social construct, but how you act on the biological impulses and emotions you hav...
This is religious preaching and not tolerated on this forum. The rest is just an insult to my intellect and ad hominem that's directly out of line. Yo...
