I like sushi

No thanks! The UK does not want to fall further into US popularism. The greatest benefit of the system in the UK is that people care about the policie...

Looks grim for him atm

I give up.

And do we know the rules of the game of life? Chess is an abstracted and bounded category not an unknown quantity. There is a difference between abstr...

So it is a justified belief NOT a justified true belief (it cannot be as they are never privy to the exact rules of some said game). The 'game' in que...

Yes ... I point being that JTB only works with abstractions. JTB framed as a definition of day-to-day 'knowledge' about historical facts and such is n...

The whole JTB nonsense is stuck because it openly ignores the distinction between facts and truths.

But that doesn’t make them true. Truth is not, as far as we know, existent in reality. It is an abstract concept. Btw I think there is more justificat...

That is my point. They are ONLY met in abstraction. That is not the claim of JTB though as it is applied to real life where limits and rules are unkno...

I also believe the Earth is spherical rather than a disc because I believe in science and personal experience (watching ships dip over the horizon). I...

It is very simple for me to point out that WE DON’T KNOW EITHER WAY. Speculation about the actual existence of extra terrestrial beings is just that. ...

So if something is ‘justified’ it is ‘true’? Do you believe that people who believe they are justified to claim something as true are only justified b...

Perhaps drop that extreme example and deal with something more subtle then. The problem is still there.

I’m confused? Why are you missing/avoiding my point. What you and I may deem to be an obvious and proven truth today may turn out to be partially/comp...

No. This was an extreme example put forward for impact. They most certainly do have Justification or why would they believe that the Earth is flat? My...

Because it is true for those that believe it. Look at how the T is used in the definition - we are not able to say what is or is not true outside of a...

I understand perfectly well. You do not. Get it?

Flatearther have 'knowledge' that the Earth is a disc then. If that is how we're defining 'knowledge' in JTB you can have it. The problem with the Jus...

The term ‘I’ is merely the verbal projection of yourself amongst other selves. Such language as this (being used here) can be used in a way that seems...

Magick is - in simple terms - a kind of self-hypnosis. It is more about psychology and getting people to believe that there is some Actual ‘Magick’ wh...

The term 'true' is used in a certain context though: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/knowledge-analysis/#KnowJustTrueBeli

I think there point is that the bartender is Justified to Believe this as True because the document is convincing enough and the age of the person que...

It is a poor one if many people view it differently though, right? https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/knowledge-analysis/#KnowJustTrueBeli If JTB says...

If we're going for analogies I think it is better to view the Brain as Language/Subject and the Mind as a Conversation/Narrative.

If JTB supports a claim about reality then it is a poor definition of knowledge? Is that why people are arguing here? Given that our understanding of ...

Because? Also, what are the ‘principles of official morality’?

I guess you take what I meant as living in a city and begging or something? It is actually possible to live off the land - our ancestors were this kin...

This as a comment to what you said: Was just pointing to you because MadFool seemed to interpret what you said as meaning/conveying something you woul...

If there was no corruption in politics they’d be no need for politics.

@"Tom Storm" Nonsense. In any enterprise corruption equates to its degradation. Gangsters are gangsters. Politicians are politicians. Feel free to mak...

Tyrannical people punish people for doing well. The scout master is a tyrant.

Your belief that Gettier is wrong :razz:

Politics: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/27/world/asia/china-doctor-strange-tibet.html Looks like China said NO to a mention of 'Tibet'. Not surprisi...

Celtic culture? Did I not pay attention in the film enough to notice "celtic" mythos?

XD

Silence. It was an obvious statement. Casting is not necessarily all about race and sex. Sometimes, although not always, people are cast because they ...

It is a problem if they feel intimidated into casting, or not casting, someone based on others ideas of race/sex or whatever. You cannot please everyo...

We wouldn't be here if that wasn't almost always the case in almost every situation :) The 'perhaps' still looks misplaced to me.

By saying you are not sure about something being unsure means you think it is either black or white. If you misread you misread. Look ... So you are s...

According to you. You seem insistent to view this as a decision made on race rather than on their view of the actor. None of this is me saying it wasn...

Saying 'not necessarily' is not the same as saying 'not at all necessary'. You must've misread.

Hence why I said "it can be though". To look at every choice as character as a decision made purely on race - unless that is the subject matter of the...

It's not. It can be though. People can be many things. In art there artist license. Some may choose one way to do something whilst another another. So...

That was my point. I don’t know exact ins and outs and it seems to vary from state to state. I was simply stating in regards to the hypothetical. Laws...

If the rapist is killed it would be manslaughter. If the rapist kills the husband I think you can define that as 'provocation' (raping his wife) so cl...

Call me slow but just realised this is framed as an extension from antinatalism. I am not saying antinatalism is 'juvenile' (as an intellectual positi...

So it was just bait? You were baiting me. Why? If work is necessary to survive and you don't want to work then you want to die? Okay. I kind of enjoy ...

Trying to explain things is basically the best way to understand them I would say. Even if you make a hash of it you can at least build on your next a...
