Bio
I use philosophy like a runaway truck ramp. When the brakes fall off I plow through here until the system resets. If you are going to go a little off; then might as well learn a thing or two in the process.
Yes, often times I find I could have done otherwise. It's necessary for pattern recognition and adjustment. Or not. I'm often under the infuence of sm...
It works just fine if we drop a few needless assumptions. That simply meeting a technical version of something believed being justified could be mista...
This is my entire point. All of these examples fail to rise to something accepted into a functional system that would be called "knowledge". All of th...
Well, then this is excellent news. If the broken clock is a stand-in for a real world scenario we could examine one of those? Because scientific justi...
I see it as a problem in defining knowledge in a generalized way. Nothing paradoxical going on in the rational application of what is being said. One ...
I'm not sure anyone's really arguing that knowledge implies certainty of traffic conditions. You know which way has been statisically faster I imagine...
Seems to me Gettier simply remarked that we defined knowledge and left out a temporal dimension. And noticed people are wrong a lot for how perfect kn...
Pretty much the observation I've come to recognize. There's a distinct lack of disagreement between people and what their god would have them do. It s...
None. I thought that was the result of his numbering system for mathematical proofs. The Godel numbers, lead to a conclusion that you can't in fact pr...
A monistic view of logic. I take it to mean that logical law is flawless or ought be treated that way. There's plenty of semantic room for other or be...
I haven't started excluding middles quite yet. Not suggesting a paradox either. I'm saying a tautology is the truth relative to your point of view. Wh...
Isn't a tautology as much a contradiction as anything? (p or ~p) We always take as true but really it's only going to be 1 p. We aren't describing two...
I'm saying the counter argument to the denial of the LNC is explosion from a monistic system. It wants to be correct so bad that it's willing to claim...
Right, it's not the strength of the principle rather the thing that's being contradicted. Save self-consistent systems like mathematics where dropping...
A really good exception. It's only "necessary" in monistic or foundational; whatever the word for 'correct' in an academic sense seems most appropriat...
But, the assumption that 'if we had a really good one' it would have any actual implications to how reality is perceived strikes me as daft. Why does ...
Like questioning whether a valid argument can be conclusive in the other thread. So what if the LNC isn't really a law. It still applies enough of the...
It's clever, she's avoiding a semantic counter argument by using an essentially open ended term. But not in the sense of fallacy. What does this have ...
It seems odd to define something as what it can't be. Like a 'law of aviation' can only exist if it applies to lead plane flight. There are no lead pl...
Right, it's had excellent branding for years. My question is rather is Russell making up a necessary rule here? Tossing in a strawman universal?Holdin...
Its sound if complete generality is a thing. Does it follow that it must hold in partial specificity? If following things applies. Is obfuscation a sy...
Thanks for the generous read and I'm still looking up some of these references. I suppose I have cake and eat it to approach to deflation. I think we ...
I agree, speaking the same language always helps. Based on this I would fall more in the nilishist camp I suppose. The truth of the conclusion isn't a...
Pretty sure that's just a conclusion some would assert about it. Saying there's no general rule that universally ties evidence to truth is a bit diffe...
No, I'm saying foundationalism/monistic systems lead to explosion. And relativistic truth implies constraint. Where is the correct position of the fir...
The problem has always been the assumption of a foundation instead of lateral corroboration. It's like doing a puzzle, but taking all the pieces apart...
Well, if we follow the evidence it suggest that self-reference isn't a reliable source of truth, in the sense the system breaks down per Russell and G...
Isn't it though? What did they both do but modify their systems. Russell decided you can't have self-referential sets and Godel concluded that no syst...
When else are you called a Nihilist for not accepting something is perfect? If there was a one logic it would still be people using it.There might be ...
I think we don't know that it can't. Things are certainly going to remain contradictory in many cases. Not presupposing anything other than you don't ...
Implied by stating it's violation is a destruction. I haven't encountered all the P logics, so it's inductive. Very persuasive, easy to corroborate, s...
I was reading this part as making the PNC conclusive. "Destroyed"? Things will remain contradictory even if there exists more than one way to arrive a...
I just go around assuming I'm wrong a lot. It's gotten less efficient with age and education but I'm always the one pleasantly surprised at the end. S...
Leon seems guilty of making a strong assertion in favor of the PNC being conclusive. There's a bit of tentative weight inherent in the PNC that it cou...
Are we confusing true/correct with simply consistent? All of our ideas agree therefore the symbols we use to represent them must construct actual trut...
It's been reconciled as a particle floating on a wave as well. But, that gets into 3d space. Anyway, seems like I lost the beat. I probably need to re...
Making an argument for impossible things it seems. I maintain that a square circle ought to be perfectly round and have four corners regardless of how...
