Brilliant! Reminds me of The Day Today and Brass Eye.
November 26, 2021 at 14:50
Wow! Okay bye bye.
November 26, 2021 at 13:09
Because it has to opposed in some way? My view of a hero is actually more like batman than robinhood. I think true heroes knowingly and purposefully c...

The witness admitted he was shot in self defence. That is basically the same as saying (in that instance) he wasn’t guilty. I didn’t mean to imply he ...
November 26, 2021 at 12:27
I never said it did. Why you focused on that puzzles me given that I gave a blow by blow account of what I learnt from watching the trial directly aft...
November 26, 2021 at 11:26
It is pretty hard not to reply when you are claiming a quote you wrote were my words. What actually said was this: In reference to the specific defini...
November 26, 2021 at 06:59
I don’t see anything here other than some doctrine I don’t care about and some terms used that lack definitions. Ignorance meaning what and knowledge ...
November 26, 2021 at 06:32
You were talking about ‘knowledge’ and ‘luck’ right in terms of the Gettier problem? That is what I was talking about. ‘Entropy’ is ‘systematic’? I do...
November 26, 2021 at 05:24
That is a hard sell to say the least. I guess you might have a certain view of what a ‘hero’ is that I don’t share.
November 26, 2021 at 05:07
You provided evidence that was summed up by questions that were not clear with an explanation that amounted to ‘Yes’ for each answer. I did my best to...

@"Miller" Ask yourself if you wish to provoke people or to present a reasonable point in a calm manner. The main problem is people don’t want to talk ...
November 26, 2021 at 05:00
Perhaps we can go through these one at a time? Starting with number 1 I don’t think ‘Yes’ is sufficient. How do you know he defended himself rather th...
November 26, 2021 at 04:39
You missed my point. I meant in respect to someone black carrying gun because that is what I said. You sound emotional so I’ll stop.
November 26, 2021 at 02:05
I meant if they were there during the shooting.
November 26, 2021 at 02:04
Maybe, maybe not. I’m sure given the circumstances the police were extremely mindful and trying to avoid such a thing though so I wouldn’t just assume...
November 26, 2021 at 02:01
If the police were there it would have been different. They weren’t. That was one failing but they were literally pushed out. The incident that sparke...
November 26, 2021 at 01:58
Done that already. Did you watch any of the trial? I assume you maybe caught some media snippets and not much more by your reaction.
November 26, 2021 at 01:53
If you interested/concerned then why not watch the trial and put your mind at rest rather than listening to stories? It looked crazy to me so I watche...
November 26, 2021 at 01:51
Try watching large portions of the actual trial. He was clearly not guilty and the guy he shot (who didn’t die) also said so. Running away from people...
November 26, 2021 at 01:42
He is guilty of being naive but not much more.
November 25, 2021 at 19:00
I can only assume you didn’t watch the trail or know much about it. In fact I know this.
November 25, 2021 at 18:58
Are we? If we're going to talk about knowledge then I think mentioning epistemology makes sense, and given my view of its connection to ontology that ...
November 25, 2021 at 16:57
I didn't. but clearly I did to you as you're using the term 'mathematically' in a rather specific and rather unusual sense.
November 25, 2021 at 14:55
If I start throwing out terms like enantidromia (which funnily enough has a red squiggly line under it!) I think that is less tangible than what I may...
November 25, 2021 at 14:54
You said JTB was the standard yet you talk about Gettier (which shows problems with JTB. My 'position' is not crystallised nor do I wish it to be. I c...
November 25, 2021 at 14:01
I way of living by denying what many consider to be life - ie. no sex, no pain, no desire. It's just a warped nihilism.
November 25, 2021 at 07:17
To accuse someone (or groups) of virtue signaling must make said person a virtue signaler. I am aware that this is virtue signaling too. I don't have ...
November 25, 2021 at 07:15
As for epistemology and ontology it is just a convenient distinction not an actual one. We have to use words and define knowledge in order to talk abo...
November 25, 2021 at 07:12
Like I tried to outline, what we 'know' is not knowledge. We ken the world but we don't know it. We know only via abstraction but we don't 'ken' abstr...
November 25, 2021 at 07:00
It depends what we're calling 'knowledge'. In the real world most certainly. In the abstract world most definitely not.
November 25, 2021 at 06:59
I never talked about a theory. It should be clear enough to you and everyone else that 'evidence' is not a rigidly defined thing. Evidence is often us...

A man is wrongly accused at work of stealing. He is sacked and goes home early in an angry state. He walks into his house to find his wife having sex ...

You can probably get more of my view on this topic by looking at my first post on the first page.
November 24, 2021 at 09:57
Not for me.
November 24, 2021 at 05:22
Maybe not nobody, but very few. Because.
November 24, 2021 at 03:44
Try Camus. Absurdism is probably the best path out of nihilism :)
November 23, 2021 at 17:38
I was insisting that JTB must leave out the specifics to work flawlessly (see below) because it is only fully effective in an abstract realm. I did me...
November 23, 2021 at 17:31
Stick to the old ways then. It is an abstract theory set in an abstract realm that has some parallels to human life. the problem is if you apply it to...
November 23, 2021 at 15:01
Doesn't really matter. At the end of the day a 'belief' will overrule anything claimed by others to be 'known'. Nature will do as nature does regardle...
November 23, 2021 at 13:47
I don't much care for the JTB view. I'd rather not pretend my beliefs are anything but beliefs. Knowledge is for set discernable limits only (ie. abst...
November 23, 2021 at 12:43
Beliefs don't require justifications because we've no idea what justification for any given myriad of beliefs there is. Justification is really just a...

I think you missed something. He was saying that Stupid people are unpredictable whereas everyone else you can figure out roughly what their motivatio...

That is Husserl. Good summation here: https://iep.utm.edu/huss-int/#H1

I assume you're buddhist too and don't like it when people say things that are true? Seems strange though. You can wiki it if you want. Buddhism is th...

I just said I don't 'respect' them though.
November 22, 2021 at 02:30
Respect? If I had to use that word I would say actively don't respect ANY philosopher! Ideas are not for respecting though. They are for slapping sens...
November 22, 2021 at 02:01
Memories are plastic so I wouldn't worry about 'losing' them if they cannot be retained.
November 21, 2021 at 12:47
Wittgenstein defined a language as that which cannot be Private. It is really an argument more of a definition of 'language' put in place and made cle...
