Bit of trap that was in retrospect. I mean if I haven't read the book that I'm burning, then in a sense I can. I'll read it again tomorrow. Sometimes ...

I see the validity in raising the issue, but the difference in the rate of progress in rebuilding society would come as a result of access. If there w...

Rather than rather, ideas by way of us interact with our reality; exhibiting their metaphysical reality. They could remain apart from us as the conten...

He may have referenced it as part of the "Three Worlds" lecture where I encountered it. Surprise agreements are the best. Cheers.

I'd buy tickets to this one. :eyes:

Popper's explanation is the one I at least understand. The difference between restarting a civilization after collapse with access to all the books it...

I imagine I'll be corrected for quality control, but I believe it favored verification instead of corroboration. There is no way to verify some future...

If knowledge is JTB, then facts carry the T bit of the matter. They are the 'it just is what it is" of this model. In a pragmatic world facts are what...

I was under the impression Xenophanes criticized the local religion. Which is a bit opposite of the single side of things approach being suggested. In...

Christianity required a sales pitch that is the 'good news'. The actual message of Jesus if it can be extracted from the carnival of weirdness that su...

I don't understand how half the country fights tooth and nail against socialized medicine since recent memory, but when the vaccine is produced by the...

We're on a European administered website. They have a functioning public education system, so the esoteric water coloring doesn't do as much lifting '...

In this case Xlaxtric is referring to the central planning of economies. Seizing the heights of industry and so forth. That thing that no one tries to...

Which side would that be? Not saying I disagree, but what's the other side?

You mean delete the record of narcissistic rage you decided to alter. I might if you have a good idea by the end of the thread. Maybe, read what other...

Could make for some awkward juxtapositions depending on the kid; "Look, Spartacus got picked last for kickball again."

You know it's interesting how people only seem to get upset when you accuse them of something they are guilty of.....Why not let whoever you are ranti...

As a follow up Popper credited Xenophanes as the origin of his position. The fellow went around criticizing his teachers work; so I recall.

Interesting; I would describe this as psychology if I didn't know the context. I need to roll this around a little. Thanks again.

The one preceding it I meant to say. I was misrepresented by any measure. How about don't quote me.

You quoted me out of context; ignoring the sentence directly following this one spoke to your entire complaint above. Do you have anything honest to s...

It wouldn't be an effective illusion if they were all fake. To cite things that aren't intended to support antivaxx messages; and suggest otherwise wi...

I think I have a loose understanding of what you and Plato are getting at. It sounds like giving labels to the different species of thought. The one w...

Socrates demonstrated the merits of classical skepticism showing expectations of certainty aren't the products of wisdom; but for some reason people c...

Your citations create the illusion of such a chorus, but this thread is a solo performance. Out of a group telling me Bill Gates wants to install an u...

Like democracy, it relies on the assumption we are flawed. Democracy limits harm through inefficiency and the free market functions on people serving ...

Do you want to get at the truth of the matter or defend your argument? Because, it isn't clear what is a genuine position and what's a high degree of ...

I agree. I don't think skepticism implies foundationalism, but JTB does. Now, this is an area that's never been very clear to me . Is that to say true...

Never had the chance to use 'daft' in a post and appreciate the opportunity. Notice the sign above the door to this particular room concerns anti-vaxx...

Interesting. I never imagined another way to take it.

A good example is a lifetime study of epidemiology. No ones complained about a preference; it's the nonsense supporting it that is the issue. The ques...

Good. Not my problem either. Correct. Perhaps get a shot then.

You cited a paywall.

Find that number on paper.

I'm 70% right by your math.

It's implied by the use of the word potentially that arguments which are harmless exist. In example, anyone reading this discussion would not be overw...

I emphasized potentially. Don't see how. I essentially provided a single sentence that I've had to requote against misstatement several times. Do you ...

Testing the limits of extrapolation for the sake of public interest. The boat has indeed run ashore.

Don't think I used that word anywhere.

I don't speak bafflement. Nothing I've said approaches complicated.

Yes, but in my native language. How would you phrase this in English.

Exactly

:up:

It's interesting because it's contrary to a JTB approach to knowledge. The same person saying it's best to avoid being wrong by not defending or ownin...

It's a little more than misunderstand I believe. I suppose knowing wrongly in the classical sense implies something to over come prior or during getti...

Just read the OP. Is the whole thing a creepy racist dog whistle? It's doing the weird 'I write like the bible' random capital letters thing.

It's seems like a comparison of two perspectives in order to make a point. Thinking you know something and being wrong about it is two mistakes. Socra...

All this weight on FDA approval seems to have vanished around the time I said it would. Glad to see your arguments aren't getting increasingly bizarre...
