I can wear clothes made of synthetics, but not of analytics. Therefore..,, hence...., ... sythetic is material, or matter, and analytic is made of ana...
I don't understand the examples of the OP. Better put, I don't see relevance of his questions to his examples. It is like saying "If the boat is 231 f...
We can reconstruct any energy form from any energy form. We can build fossil fuel from burnt fossil fuel by using energy from nuclear reactions, or fr...
No, we can't provide that to you. Because you are doggoned insisting on US having to accept the unacceptable, and then you call us dogmatic. We are no...
Yes, yes... and seeing does not imply looking... and horizontal does not imply direction... and wood does not imply carbon content... and yes means no...
These two are by you. Which of the two is true? Both can't be at the same time and in the same respect. Here you clearly deny that interpretation is r...
It may seem to you that way, but it is not like that. Addition is a rule; the understanding of a rule is to combine the additives into a sum. That is ...
it is an instruction, which is the rule how to get to the entrance. Some rules are specific and some rules are symbolic. "You must find the centre of ...
This is contentious. Maybe the child does NOT understand the rule but he can implement it. For instance, the rule here is not that 2 and 2 are four, b...
False. An adult can easily and obviously understand "You must walk up the stairs to the entrance" but he can't implement the rule if he is wheelchair ...
Yes, I would say this is an unwanted lingual effect. Much like "WE" can be you and I, or I and others but not you, or I and you and others. Because of...
You can't follow a rule unless you understand it; and understanding the rule requires the interpretation of the rule. Since most rules have wording th...
That part of religion is a part of religion, but it is not the religious part. Psychologists, psychiatrists do the same thing for and to people. Teach...
A bit of a change in direction: what differentiates in their lyrics' message country music from the blues? The musical style is obviously different, t...
In your example given by Kant. That was a causation without change. Time to start to think and think back and have a memory and have some capacity to ...
Yu did not read my post, you just regurgitate what you are capable of. I said causation implies change. I did not say "before" and "after". Idi not sa...
I think you and I are in agreement with each other then, not in contention. I just did not read your post all the way to the end, I suppose. BTW, the ...
That's right. I hate Wittgenstein for 1. He had no original thought and 2. He copied thoughts of others, he claimed the thoughts are his own, and in t...
@"paulm", that said, I think you are not justified to do so, but you do have the philosophical right to believe in divine intervention. A belief is an...
Here we differ. Religious texts are no more reliable to provide evidence of divine intervention than, for instance, "Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare ...
Wittgenstein was a fucking idiot, and he had not one reasonable philosophical thought. Here he merely regurgitated Hume's tenet, and he makes the cate...
Further to my previous post here, @"Haglund" has also made the mistake for claiming that only religious considerations can make one feel their life ha...
I considered very seriously what @"Hanover" proposed: we can't demand to know or direct what philosophical belief causes comfort for another person. M...
If you insist that there can be causation without change, then you could say that an object existing without change keeps on causing itself form momen...
There is a counter-argument against this. If and only if the arrangement has been that way for all previous eternity, then there was no caused depress...
Philosophy treats topics that have a reasoned basis, and theories are built using logic from that basis. Religion in this sense is philosophy; histori...
I think philosophy can start with any assumption it pleases to. That's the difference between science and philosophy. Scientific theories need some so...
That's precisely how and what it is. The more incomprehensible, the more unintuitive, the more self-contradictory a religious dogma or tenet is, the m...
Heck, no. Not this one. She was cheating on me with anything that had a pair of pants on. (Except women.) It was still worth it for me, for her, becau...
FALSE! I was born every day of the year. It's the Baptists who reduced getting born again to just one day of your life. You can imagine my resistance ...
The reason for being here, as you put it, is for someone else's entertainment. Being here for the pleasure of their watching. Well... a reason for exi...
I don't want this to go to the wayside. Please respond, Haglund. I wish for an answer, because I wish to prove to you that the concept "meaning of lif...
Well, I care. This is a philosophy forum, where backgrounds don't matter, only reasonable arguments. Many don't practice that on these forums, and now...
What you said is a clear-as-the-azure-sky-in-the-deepest-summer AD HOMINEM fallacy. I showed precisely how stupid the quote was; you replied I don't u...
I am sorry, but I asked a straight question, to which you answered (as far as I can see) that the meaning for your life is that the gods can watch us....
This makes me rant, StreetlightX. Maybe I am too stupid to see the relevance of your quote, or maybe I see beyond it and therefore disagree with it, o...
Perhaps the CRT should have started and continued on a different vein: instead of turning centuries of bigotry and hatred against Blacks into a hatred...
In my opinion it's not that us, white folks, DESERVE that. It is just the status quo, and CRT's aim is that bigotry has to be annulled, and the races ...
