But space isn't perceptual - you don't perceive space, you perceive objects in space.

In what sense are space and time ideal if they are not a priori? It seems to me that it is necessary to a priorize them à la Kant to prove them to be ...

I think therefore I am ... Descartes could even have said I shit therefore I am, for pretty much any other activity that he would put in there apart f...

>:O This one is hilarious. But I prefer this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OpPeYGJWaY

Haha that's a good romantic song, but not my favorite. This is my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSAECj0GXWQ Followed quickly by a few ital...

>:O True, although the problem I'm pointing to is that they don't deserve that money - it's unjust that they have that money, because they haven't pro...

? >:O What's this supposed to mean?

I think the self arises from nature, yes. The self is a possible action/activity of nature. And I think laws of nature are merely models we use for pu...

:-} again Kantianism of some sort... :P

In modern academic and popular culture circles, and I swim in none of those.

For me, Noam is a puny ant, he hasn't even come under my radar, that's how (un)important he is

WWR is probably deeper than CPR, in that it contains the same insights that CPR does, and more. CPR is more original and revolutionary but not the dee...

Descartes was an idiot - probably the vast majority of his ideas are worthless (dualism, homonuculus etc.). I don't know of anyone else in the history...

>:O >:O >:O fucking hell mate, this was like https://youtu.be/lk3fAYpSVfk?t=4m55s

I agree with pretty much all those points, just a few comments... In my opinion, economic slavery isn't really paying interest on mortgages/loans and ...

Sin. Yes. Death penalty should be reserved for those cases in which the wrong-doer has committed such crimes that they have exited from the jurisdicti...

As may Socrates: "Those of us who believe death to be an evil are certainly mistaken. I have convincing proof of this either the dead are nothing and ...

Then what are they if they are neither models nor equations? :s

Ok, no problem :)

The problem is that physical theories, as they are mathematical in nature, are underdetermined. For any finite set of facts - where a fact takes a mat...

Mathematics constrains our conceptualisation of physics, and hence constrains even our capacity of measurement - we cannot measure that which we canno...

:s I did provide a reference, what are you talking about? If someone clicks your name in my quote, they'll be taken to the post where the quote is fro...

I think real estate developers do produce some real goods in the form of either buying and repairing properties, or building and maintaining new ones,...

I tend to unfortunately agree. I really feel like all this science and mathematics is mumbo jumbo to be entirely honest. Useful mumbo jumbo, don't get...

I think it depends - one will definitely not become extremely wealthy working just by themselves in exercising a skill. A tradesperson could become ex...

Reference to what do you mean?

More significant than what they know is what they don't know. Indeed, it is what they don't know that is limiting them. What we know is always of rela...

I've read a lot of scientific papers, and also written a few, but they're not as "difficult" as you make it seem. Most people are just lazy. Also scie...

I find that generally the more someone has, the less efficient they are, because they can afford it - it's not worth the bother anymore. That's why ma...

It's not how much you spend that counts, it's how well-spent it is - how efficiently you administrate the spending. Doing a lot with little is more va...

A foolish ideal.

lol >:O

Personally I would count those experiences as deeply personal and vague - totally unlike the kind of seeing that can be confirmed by society. There is...

Works of Love Yes but don't be mistaken about everything written under a pseudonym as being K's own views - that's precisely why he is an ironist. Wor...

No, I think this is superficial too. Kierkegaard was against outward passion and for inward passion. Indeed, what I quoted is only a small passage. If...

Well I aim to say that you are right, we are not God. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't attempt to be like God. And, in-so-far as being like God...

Go on what? :s

The thing with communists that made me understand they aren't human is that they have no sense of humor :P

So we are to go out separate ways because they're not safe anymore? :-O What does that mean? :P The English language is killing me! >:O

But if we are to become like God, what are we to do? Isn't that the idea, to become like Christ? The latter is a symbol for the former, indeed :P

Even the monasteries and the mountains aren't safe anymore!!

>:O But rehashing Spinoza with John may be a way to actually increase your productivity and creativity in painting :P

Definitely Descartes >:O Infinitely worth skipping, by any student of philosophy. Who? I agree /w regards to Berekely, but not with regards to Locke o...

I don't think the question is whether you should be banned. I can tell you why you were banned though. Scientists - physicists - especially amateurish...

I disagree with regards to TimeLine. TimeLine may disagree with Question's choices, but it's clearly with the goal of helping him - TL at least has go...

I notice that day by day Sappy is becoming a better politician... one day he may actually end up the Prime Minister of Britain :-O

What do you think about this quote, and how it relates to doubt and trust?

But this has nothing to do with believing without evidence. Indeed Jesus didn't say one should believe without evidence. In fact, even if he had said ...

This is just false. It can be nearly always a harmful thing would be the correct way to phrase it.
