I mean logic by logic? Abstracted and applied. All men are mortal. I am a man. I will die. There are various logical schemes, but propositional logic ...
I guess the flaw here is I didn’t make it explicit enough that predictable experimentation would be useless (no better than astrology). Without a test...
It wouldn’t. That isn’t scientific. Besides the POINT of this is to try an appreciate what the world looks/feels like to those who we may consider bli...
That was the general intention. I was hoping someone could build on it and make it more interesting/accessible and useful. Basically if the entire wor...
I was posing a thought experiment in an attempt to better understand biases and dogma. If you can improve on it I’d love to hear how. The short cut yo...
How long would it take to change these beliefs though? This is especially difficult when previously all the evidence supported your position. I didn’t...
Yes, it’s utterly ‘impossible’. The point is to appreciate the unbending conviction of those that go against what experience clearly establishes as fa...
Very late reply! That would be ‘indirectly’ in what sense? If there was no human culture/language then we’d create one via necessary interactions - we...
I am something like a carrot, yet to be unearthed, I am something like a table, I am something like a see-saw too. I am something like a marble, rolli...
996 words - have not reread for errors or comprehension (will have a go at that tomorrow lunchtime probs). A Philosophical Portolano Many a philosophe...
I’ve think I’ve made that crystal clear already. False. This is has not been proven by any stretch of the imagination (mostly wishful thinking). For r...
Okay, so you’re just plain stupid then? Fair enough. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/teens-who-smoke-pot-at-risk-for-later-schizophrenia-psychosis...
Are you be purposefully stupid? I have read your posts you know. The CONTEXT is you’ve stated elsewhere you have issues and now you’re saying you smok...
I wasn’t lashing out. I was stating VERY clearly what he is doing here - and in other posts - is stupid and irresponsible. If you have severe ‘mental ...
No, I’m concerned that people with ‘mental health’ issues who are scared of seeking professional help (due to stigmas) will follow opinions online. Sa...
Go to a fucking doctor! You say you’re a schizophrenic and depressed, AND you’re openly saying you smoke cannibis? Either you’re lying, as you’ve done...
That’s just stating the physical reality of the world isn’t it? In the correct configuration any bunch of subatomic particles has the potential to for...
I’ve said this before. I don’t think it is either healthy or productive to ask for opinions about something that concerns you on a forum that is full ...
People with have greater freedom to do as they please. Isn’t that obvious? What did I miss? I’m assuming you meant something else, but I’ve no idea ex...
I would argue strongly that any ‘philosophies’ that aren’t potentially harmful are not ‘philosophies’ at all. Mistakes and faults are a necessary part...
The Socratic Method is a nice place to start - it encourages conflicting opinions to actively question each other with more focus on articulating thes...
The point about biofuels was not that the fuel made couldn’t meet demands it was that due to land clearance and planting the crops the net effect was ...
This is kind of pointless. I’ve the figures. What I was actually saying was an international body did a global survey of how environmental issues were...
In terms of distribution of funding, they are. The ‘trendy’ causes that get the limelight and funding tend to be the least effective (short term and l...
People are to blame. The mass media is driven by a demand to be entertained and to stare at as many car wrecks as possible. If we’re going to blame so...
I thought that’s what I did after that opening. Basically if what we ‘experience’ - our ‘experiencing’ - is what we call consciousness, how is this an...
It makes sense to fish. If someone is convinced there’s a big fish to catch I’m willing to let them guide me to the right spot. I’m presenting to comm...
Are we conscious? If so what we call ‘consciousness’ is in fact just ourselves being aware of ourselves as ‘conscious’. From this basic linguistic ass...
I don’t see any reason why all three of these cannot be addressed, in parallel, whilst writing. The first just means to be as clear and concise as you...
Felt like this lost way a little around the midpoint. The introduction was great and gave a very clear picture of what was to come. I would, personall...
As a brief critique of my own piece ... It seems stretched between two different approaches. The ‘mood’ is sometimes whimsical, but sometimes the tone...
Here’s more info on some of the false claims: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/what-michael-moore-new-film-gets-wrong-about-renewable-energy?fbclid...
Nice vignette. I would personally like to see where this could be taken in terms of a philosophical piece - feels like a nice intro to some existentia...
