Granted it seems intuitively accurate, but what logic prevents it? You could cut a square out on the back of a circle. And argue which side defines th...
I agree with both statements in acknowledging the difference between logic as a transmission protocol and logic as it happens about the mind. Saying o...
Specifically, it's provided by Statistical mathematics which reaches for an approximation to the truth. Which is probably why it's reliable, unlike sy...
I think we have to differentiate "doing science" and presenting scientific evidence. Inspirational moments and the willingness to try anything isn't t...
Drop in after a couple years to concede your point on knowledge and find you discussing Popper and Russell. Anyways, you're probably right. Whatever t...
It was a deliberate weapons test. They even avoided bombing the city earlier in the war so they could better measure the outcome. The bombs purpose wa...
I did and then you decided this all only applies to the limited context of "places divided by sex". I was trying to clarify your context. You said in ...
Do you run around tearing wigs off of bald people? Do you refuse to acknowledge that they appear to have hair? Same difference. It's rude to point out...
Oddly enough the last two times I had to comply was to avoid the homeowners association community management company for towing it away from my own ho...
It seems like people will go out of there way to be legally compliant. I have to get the vehicle I drive inspected knowing there's nothing wrong with ...
Do people value truth? In the sense of ideals, certainly. In application it's contextual. If they are trying to dismantle a bomb then the truth of whi...
Odds are when I wrote this last year; I had accepted the premise that philosophy needed some sorting out(missing the point). She's making the same poi...
I never had to reference a Sanskrit dictionary before, so kudos. You run into a bit of a problem with a declaration of we can't distinguish real vs un...
It would have to be a pretty lousy simulation if the people in it were constantly pointing out they were in a simulation. Really, at that point it cea...
He's bending solipsism a bit toward participatory realism. It's right in the sense it's his particular view on the matter. You are correct in saying t...
I should clarify the point. The belief that free will is historically an affirmative indication of a theist world. Not simply that one implies the oth...
If we're content in treating the matter as a deliberately unresolvable philosophical soccer ball, then perhaps. Best I can tell is that free will is r...
If there is no free will then we are holding people accountable as a product of determinism(or insert variant x). Really, it's an attempt at reductio ...
I'm trying to find a primary motive. You have some imagined debate between pro and anti "equality". You haven't presented an argument or thesis yet. I...
It's an attempt to justify inequality with genetic basis. Instead of saying a minority group is disadvantaged from centuries of oppression OP would pr...
Wouldn't the concern be a function of the genes you carry and your counterparts family history regarding genetic disorders? This is rather specific. I...
And you want to determine their sameness? Or just place arbitrary value judgements on differences that you find appealing? Somewhere in-between perhap...
The title says the modern equality movement. A movement is not a methodology of discourse. I'm not sure what a methodology for discourse would be outs...
In the rare case one compares population genetics such as the outcomes of a cultural tendency toward inter-family marriages the term "equality" still ...
Honestly, I need to give the matter more thought, but I have a few first impressions. Imposing or labeling other people's moral choices with your judg...
It's not a scientific statement. It's an a priori for a legal framework. It has an implication that all people are owed a reasonable degree of fairnes...
I commend the reasonableness of your discourse. Some people choose to "double down" on an emotional argument and I can see you're willing to consider ...
Maybe it's just unreasonable to take an absolutist position and then hold everyone else to it. The idea of not using animal products is fine with me. ...
It's dishonest to label every pain felt by animal for the production of food as "cruelty". It merely serves as shock value to gain a false moral posit...
I think it's the part where you tell other adults what they should and shouldn't eat that gives veganism a cringe twitch. The constant equivocation be...
I wouldn't say "hate" vegans. It's just that what one consumes is inescapably ego-centric. So, involving others in a self-important or judgemental way...
Fair enough. We didn't make hate speech laws is that what you referenced in the Op? Our right is convinced being kicked off twitter is a violation of ...
Equality movement was racist white people offering to pretend other people weren't different. The present equity movement acknowledges and values diff...
Thinking a lower interest rate on a marked up vehicle is advantageous exhibits a misunderstanding of the auto market. I'd rather buy a depreciated car...
1. You can refinance a loan on a used car and get the interest rate pretty close to what you'd see on a new car. If you're paying high interest now I'...
I think a fair number of people argue for sport and enjoy the ego boost of imposing an argument they have learned to make; similar to studying a chess...
I go a step further and argue "randomness" is a strawman that disposes of the concept of 'will' for the sake of argument. Fundamentally, the world is ...
The basis for determinism; such as the planets going around sun. The physical forces are overwhelming enough to rule out alternate paths and the subje...
Never hear people mention the under reaction happens on an exponential curve and the over reaction on a logistic curve. When something fails to contai...
