No need to label you as being this or that. Psychologism isn’t a philosophical position just merely a means to distinguish types of argumentation as f...
Facts are not truths. What more is there to discuss? I guess the question then morphs slightly to ask “Is existence a fact or a truth?” Facts are rela...
It help to pick a subject. Are you talking about pantheistic ideas compared to monotheistic ideas OR belief in the afterlife? I don’t think a belief i...
My point was more about setting up propositions that refuse analysis. That is pretending that A is not A as a genuine claim and calling such p so it c...
@"Harry Hindu" Wrong again. I referred to one of, if not, the most famous experiment known in this particular area whilst you made an anecdotal commen...
No Clement Nomenclature The vernacular is spectacular in its lexical motions the cogs spin and teeth grind masticating meaning. The colloquial is fili...
It is true. Simply saying “not true” doesn’t make it so. In an F1 race a yellow flag has a particular meaning. “Yellow” doesn’t exist detached from an...
What about sense of authorship where there is none? Libet’s experiment highlighted that well enough. We’re biased to assume authorship when the outcom...
I didn’t actually say that. I used the terms EXTREME and RADICAL alongside PC. I am not saying PC is inherently bad, but that the use of it in hyperbo...
I’m reading Logical Investigations by Husserl, at the moment. He is asking these kinds of questions. It’s been a bit of a slog initially, but I’m maki...
The meaning depends on the context of use; much like how ‘art’ can mean practice, aptitude or object. What is it in regards to psychology? We’re too b...
The Laws of Thought are not created. It is certainly a very slippery area to look at because our use of language is so messy and nuanced that the most...
It isn’t meant to. Husserl’s phenomenology is a science of consciousness/subjectivity NOT a science of physics. Physics is the science of physics. Hus...
I can agree with that, but I’m certainly not inclined to agree with Owen Jones about much else. Just go to show that everyone is capable of making a g...
Look ... never mind. Anyone can read what I’ve said. I talked about PC in terms of a simple liberal idea and as “radical” and “extreme”. So I didn’t i...
I never said it is all bad (PC). I have already given examples of what I mean. If the situation is more right leaning the left slowly gains momentum. ...
I’m simply saying that A is not A necessarily leads to absurdity. If the propositions set out are inherently meaningless they don’t have any use. Much...
I don’t know what “Left PC” is? If you don’t know what PC is then we’re wasting our time here. I’ve not mentioned the political ideology you mentioned...
It’s just common sense. If people are pushing hard left ideas and they are disliked then there will be push back - the position with weight is the pos...
What? A and B are absurdities. They cannot be true, false, not true or not false. A is A, is, A is not A. B is B, is, B is not B. The trick of the mys...
I don’t think you seem to get it. The rise of the far right is due to the extreme left enabling them. Also, right does mean bad and left doesn’t mean ...
Pretty sure it’s nothing more than saying in a 2D world (piece of paper) you can attach the ends of the paper and the flatlander will go around in cir...
I doubt they’ll move him to US. It is a Trump power play. The UK said they’d not extradite him if there was a chance of him being killed (capital puni...
By forgiving the apparent misdeeds of others and contemplating that their apparent misdeeds are merely a reflection of your own misgivings rather than...
I am saying that A and B are absurd, not false. They cannot have truth value nor be regarded in an ontological or epistemic sense. I’m sure you’ll dis...
Sounds a little like you’re conflating mathematic probability with logical certainty? Empirically there is necessary doubt (due to inaccuracy of measu...
I focused on the OP. What you say is well known and I don’t see why it is worth commenting on other than to say, “yeah, everyone knows!” As to the Bib...
@"christian2017" I think you mean ‘what many people know and I‘ve just realised is ...” Welcome to shattering of our own mirror :) You know what I’m g...
I think I bring sense, but I probably don’t. I’m suspicious of myself as much as, if not more so, than of others. All I can say in truth is that the a...
As a direct example look at the BBC interview with Farage. They basically let him emphasis his position, and gain public appeal, by trying to pull ske...
Various pundits? How about mentioning Rowan Atkinson, Christopher Hitchens and Stephen Fry? It is not only about the right to speak, it is about the r...
I fear for this persons constitution. Que sera sera. The best we can do is wish them good fortune in dealing with their breakthrough (even though they...
‘presuppositionlessness’ would be more accurate. The “apodeictic” is defined by Husserl as that which cannot be imagined as not being so, and the ‘pre...
Of course to won’t happen. You have to be killed by humility first in order to recognise that your knees are bloodied from the falls you’ve already ta...
I meant “humility”. You have expressed what I can only call arrogance more than once. I meant that part of you will have to die at the hand of humilit...
Either way your philosophical proposal falls before it even starts as you attach absolute claims to sensible items. Logic is abstract not existent. Th...
Well, prepare for a fall then. It is necessary. Then you’ll remember what the triggers were ... it won’t be pleasant, but it is certainly necessary (t...
What about what instigated this? What habits/techniques were in motion (consciously or otherwise)? Common triggers for ASC’s are trance dancing, fasti...
It sounds like an altered state of consciousness - something I’ve experienced myself. There are various triggers, what were yours? What was the lead u...
