Some of it's information about the other room and some is imagined. One or more is inaccurate. When I enter the room I make my own assessment and comp...

Arguably correcting one.
August 08, 2021 at 00:06
General methodology question. I get the point is to arrive at a new frame of reference that supports some set of conclusions. Wouldn't this guarantee ...

You recognized the populations need and then described an individual strategy. It proves my point better than I could.
August 07, 2021 at 22:29
The above replaces the term 'me' with the term population and continues on as if that changes the perspective. It proves my point; that hesitation is ...

The consensus may be an excuse. They can't find another excuse? There is a mutli-billion dollar industry built on products that aren't FDA approved fo...

What's even in the logic for highlighting doubt in efficacy. I'll suppose your correct and percent of preventive protection is lower than reported. Th...
August 07, 2021 at 18:33
I am suspicious of the logic one has to employee to come to this conclusion. A vaccine is the opposite of a money maker; because it is a preventive. I...

The simplest is what we call data. The origin of data is information. It's what differentiates something from empty space upon experience. I think peo...
August 07, 2021 at 17:18
Leaves room to correct some mistakes. I can't imagine what it would be like if my first impression governed every experience completely. Technically c...

How limiting is it if it's constantly changing?
August 07, 2021 at 04:55
I was going to say our differences of opinion imply something is subject to a degree of interpretation. I think that's what you are saying except with...
August 07, 2021 at 04:51
It's something. We've done well to infer here and there. How else would we know there is a limitation.
August 07, 2021 at 04:46
The subjective experience is of "not immoral". The is immoral but permissible. We are allowed to do some immoral things; which is how people screw up ...
August 07, 2021 at 04:39
Thoughtfully disagree, you can still harm anything you value, it's just permissible to harm your own things. Yes, this is the innate understanding of ...

Clearly it's the currently unassailable missing dimension which directs the stuff of existence; of which we can certainly discuss; if we choose to.
August 07, 2021 at 04:23
:rofl: Should have it sorted by Monday morning.
August 07, 2021 at 02:46
Precisely what I needed to understand. Thanks. I think this is the source of dissonance at least in my experience. I'll gladly adopt a new frame of re...

The Kant ball(thing in itself) was called into question. Found to meet criteria laid out in the Tractatus for things that can't be discussed. The thin...
August 06, 2021 at 22:48
So, originally it failed to be a possible truth.
August 06, 2021 at 22:39
What are the conditions for determining whether or not something can ever be discussed? The argument is an assertion followed by an empty pause, but i...
August 06, 2021 at 22:20
Oh, it's like a magic phrase that is unintelligible unless other magic phrases activate it. It seems like a tactic of argumentation not to simply stat...
August 06, 2021 at 21:31
It would make for some interesting poker games. I think the things people do have a reason. Not always a good reason but a reason.
August 06, 2021 at 18:43
I'm split on the matter. It is like philosophy splits into an activity of inspiring a new frame of reference or old fashion rigorous debates concernin...
August 06, 2021 at 17:51
Precisely the implication that I was suggesting follows from the statement in question. Mentioning anything imaginary is outside said limit. I might v...

You would ignore that consuming food is a response to hunger in order to maintain some position held dear. How much not to hit you with a hammer? I'd ...
August 06, 2021 at 13:30
It appears morality is probably closer to other types of information than we realize. Which means we are correct about a lot of it and mistaken about ...
August 06, 2021 at 12:17
Some rules must always be obfuscated
August 06, 2021 at 06:56
Really? I regularly pay for food for some reason. Hopefully, I can learn to transcend that practice. Or at least pretend to
August 06, 2021 at 06:36
Well, if I have to be a failure than I'm pleased that it's in performative rhetoric.
August 06, 2021 at 06:19
How much would you pay to suffer versus how much would you pay not to suffer?

There's no benefit in imagining unexplainable things; of which this is oddly an example or not. That's my takeaway. I don't charge for it.
August 06, 2021 at 03:07
It's technically raising the matter of relative morality, but ascribing it to an imagined subset. So, on topic but with a white nationalist sorta subt...
August 06, 2021 at 02:50
The lecture really was an eye opener into his process; at least in the sense I know he is deliberately speaking in a way that he knows is hard to unde...
August 06, 2021 at 00:51
It is a fun exploration. I took my first philosophy class the year after the matrix came out, so it was all the rage. I believe the scenario is shown ...
August 05, 2021 at 19:49
Thanks! It's always nice to find I'm at least wandering down a path others see as well. I do intend on at least reading over the lecture on the ethics...
August 05, 2021 at 19:37
I wonder if the level of group reliance and the strictness of moral enforcement are correlated. Like, the difference in enforcing a tribal law versus ...

How does he account for these statements if he can't say anything? I suppose that comes up at some point. Observing a deficit is something if I can sp...
August 05, 2021 at 05:53
True. Had he understood AND rejected it then maybe we'd have something. But, misunderstanding it and accepting what it does not in Mad-Hatter type con...
August 04, 2021 at 23:08
It is a bit of an experiment in dogmatism. What happens when some one doesn't participate in the observation of a prescribed set. I'm not suggesting t...
August 04, 2021 at 21:57
That's why the right uses it to manipulate it's base emotionally. Once people are that enraged, you can feed them any lie you want.
August 04, 2021 at 20:24
Well, in the case put forward by the OP there is no stated suffering to ignore. The idea that value and that suffering is a type of assault on value i...

He was an aeronautical engineer and his position was validated by Russell at least initially. If you want to keep running backwards in this corn field...
August 04, 2021 at 08:02
I completely support that notion. Without any rational basis we are dealing with myths or poetry. It is derived from the modern concept of integrated ...
August 04, 2021 at 05:20
That was a great response.
August 04, 2021 at 05:09
Let me stop you right there. I'm going to read the rest but this is a full stop in itself. Ideal qualifying language outside of a Russian lease agreem...
August 04, 2021 at 05:07
Which means we've identified a problem. I'd call the thread a success based on that much clarity alone.
August 03, 2021 at 22:02
Ergo, the lack of essence allowed us the ability to assign words to things. Did we sit around guessing the animals name until we were presented with t...
