Then how is it possible that some people know things better than others and yet all knowledge is equally true by standing definition. Seems we would h...

I'm pretty sure his patience ran out like mine did, but I could be wrong. People don't like being frustrated and then condescended to, so there's a li...

So, for the sake coherence could I summarize the position as a belief that if the right mind 'percepts' the intended target the truth about the target...

Hence the reason hesitancy is rational on an individual level. But, taking the individual risk or perceived risk was what I thought I owed the people ...

If irrational things are rational, then can this irrational thing be rational? Certainly.

Like a fine honey glazed reality that necessitates conjecture. Spoiler Alert ID

They don't believe us, so they are atheist. Sounds logical.

I monitor all the vats.

If you had simply a novel approach to reality that's one thing, but if all this is for enjoying a X belief is rational, then I'd like to know what I'm...
June 22, 2021 at 23:23
Maybe, but at first glance this seems like we have two different types of facts. And the lessor or "least real" suffers from it's logical derivation i...

You wouldn't want to turn the emergency management notification system over to some one that simply had a wild imagination and strong feelings regardi...

Some information seems relative to the observer. Is it being suggested there is an ideal head size one must have in order to gauge the size of a hat?
June 22, 2021 at 22:14
The building example gives me something to work with, thanks. Does it matter what medium of perception I use? Looking versus echo locating? Both direc...
June 22, 2021 at 21:55
Supposing this is the case I have a couple of questions regarding the demarcation line between in and out of the mind's sense-targeting. Keeping with ...
June 22, 2021 at 18:55
I would be willing to suppose that the universe is expanding to keep up with how far we are looking, but mind actualization seems to limiting to be th...
June 22, 2021 at 16:26
I think this is one of those cases where if we all do what we want then the collective outcome is worse. Like, that beautiful mind movie. So, on the i...

Atheism is a belief based on the assumption that evidence for God would exist if God exist. It's an honest assessment of the information we have been ...
June 22, 2021 at 15:45
I think reality is a form of participatory realism. We exist to manifest and give meaning to the universe's collective dream that requires consistency...
June 22, 2021 at 14:43
I'm pretty satisfied with the 'Old' New World Order shit. It was paranoid and logically disconnected but we could all agree there was some base realit...

I'm starting to think things have gotten a bit out of hand.
April 20, 2020 at 20:49
Some to type of bio-electricity, it's a bit outside of my wheelhouse. But to simplify the matter. If your correct then it must be because there's some...
April 16, 2020 at 08:39
I know and your probably right; I don't subscribe to the proper definition of knowledge. I don't think it represents knowledge as we find it in nature...
April 16, 2020 at 08:25
I'm trying to figure out how you hurt your foot without accessing objective reality. Your perception of the table didn't cause an injury.
April 16, 2020 at 08:17
Are we back to qualifying reality again? I trust you told them about the red cup and your theories concerning object permanence? If there was no objec...
April 16, 2020 at 08:05
Actually, I unintentionally overlooked Black's article entirely. It's interesting that every case involves some type of misrepresentation. I see what ...
December 22, 2019 at 20:56
In order for a series of statements to remain bullshit I'd argue they have to fall below some threshold of importance. In example, if your instructing...
December 21, 2019 at 19:47
If your talking mechanics it's best to preserve the definition of cause for the sake of coherence. But, in the sphere of discontent apes such as mysel...
October 04, 2018 at 00:28
I'm satisfied.
September 30, 2018 at 19:52
The conclusion I do not share. I don't have to prove how impossibly correct I am in order to have infallible knowledge. In order to prove this or that...
September 29, 2018 at 18:02
No, this I like. I agree.
September 29, 2018 at 18:01
I mostly nearly agree. I just prefer to leave the door cracked instead of closed. True, no demonstration may be possible, but this doesn't mean ideal ...
September 29, 2018 at 17:56
You literally stated it was both perfectly and not perfectly secure. It's a direct contradiction, unless one just chooses to ignore it to maintain a p...
September 29, 2018 at 14:06
And I'm arguing this is the reason infallible knowledge must possibly exist. What is infallible knowledge, but knowledge without error? Before you ans...
September 29, 2018 at 11:37
Perhaps, but we will at least know why. Isn't this being put forward as infallible knowledge, because its so well evidenced to render any counter argu...
September 28, 2018 at 21:53
It's a bit of a card trick if that makes any sense. The issue isn't whether an atheist can prove or disprove something. The hidden issue is whether an...
September 25, 2018 at 22:18
I still disagree, but I'm starting understand why...I think. To dodge a bit of confusion, I'm reading knowledge to be the same thing. I disagree that ...
September 25, 2018 at 21:01
I disagree.
September 25, 2018 at 00:11
this makes more sense.
September 23, 2018 at 22:17
September 23, 2018 at 21:24
This doesn't make sense.
September 23, 2018 at 20:33
Are we trying to sort out whether knowledge exists without language; by determining whether a belief can exist without language? So, we started talkin...
September 23, 2018 at 18:59
Well, there's certainly a difference between "nothing ontic" and lacking the knowledge that a thing is ontic. So, the explanation that follows doesn't...
September 23, 2018 at 18:36
I actually I do agree, but would add that we may not ever know if it is actually ontic, because of this liability. Simply put, objective truth may be ...
September 16, 2018 at 20:15
Yes, I was having a bit of fun.
September 16, 2018 at 18:36
Rational justification doesn't imply infallibility, so falling short of infallibility does not leave a thing unjustified. And here lies the issue I ha...
September 16, 2018 at 18:33
I think there's reason to be certain at least some of them are wrong and by trying to falsify our beliefs we eliminate our errors and our knowledge im...
September 16, 2018 at 16:56
Why should you believe that in all the things you know at least one is a mistake? I would maintain you accept it based on the law of identity.
September 16, 2018 at 16:40
Don't you have to torture the meaning of "justified" in order to maintain this position?" By saying to the satisfaction of its bearers" it seems to er...
September 16, 2018 at 16:25
Ok, so I reread the matter and probably will have to again, because the examples used to make your point are a bit awkward. I have a cat and I enjoy i...
