I don't know about prehistoric times. I also don't know how you get your information from 5000-plus years ago when there were no recordings of social ...
I bet they don't. A tenth man's day is not always honky-dory. BTW, I didn't use any facts or assumptions that you hadn't provided. But that's okay, I ...
I think the question ought to be rephrased: "Do you prefer homosexuality or else incest, when it comes to your lifestyle choices given only these two?...
Being sure of the Delphic Oraculum's truth demands of one to be doubtful. Doubting it makes one to be sure. This is a good paradox. How is a life live...
But doubt divides. In unity is force. There is no unity without surety. Time is money. If you live your life to the predictions made 2500 years ago, y...
So you disagree when people present good, solid arguments. Good to know. Where has this got you in life? I am not facetious. Maybe you got much farthe...
conversely, what works for others? I daresay the same thing. Of course their opinions may be different from mine: their presupposition may be the exis...
In the previous post, my presupposition may not be true... but it works for me. I don't need any more supporting levels of presupposition; I don't nee...
My absolute presupposition would be "my sensations reflect truth (reality)." This of course is only in retrospect. When my suppositions and presupposi...
Sort of like an old newspaper cartoon I read. A kid, eight-year-old, and supersmart computer whiz, types into his Commodore 64 (cutting edge tech then...
wonderful. Thanks. I shall turn my attention to google now, and ask it "What's the meaning of life", "What is the purpose of existence" and "who creat...
But the moment you hang it on your refrigerator, you admit with deeds that you listen to others. If you don't hang it on your refrigerator, you admit ...
There is a high risk of death with atomobiles than without. The risk is death by car accident. Without automobiles (and trucks) the transportation of ...
It is extremely important for all to know what Mayael believes or not. Maybe not important as the belief of one particular and specific individual, bu...
I am sure the Christian community will find something in Das Kapital or in The Communist Manifesto something worthwhile to keep, too, much like the at...
You can't deny he was being consistent. He did not understand Shakespeare; in his ignorance he passed judgement. Much like he said people do who are i...
Theoretically there is an infinite number of microstates. So entropy is a constant, and furthermore it is infinite. Did you not want to write dW, that...
I think you are overcomplicating things, and got lost in the quagmire of your own thoughts. My opinion only, don't take this to heart, please, I know ...
This is a very good explanation except there is no definition involved. Could you please rephrase this to make it into a proper definition? Thanks for...
I disagree. But that's okay. If you were right in your criticism, then the law of excluded middle would never be applicable. But it's always applicabl...
Thanks. The first paragraph has been known to me, but I am glad you clarified it anyway. The second paragraph is intuitive, but it does not explain wh...
Because it's obvious it does not. Can you name two different events that happen to the same object at the same time and in the same respect? Can a car...
I am sorry, you are talking about things I have already covered. Please try to understand what I said; and not try to explain something to me that I d...
I thought it has been established that entropy is a feature of the macrophysical world only. It is not meaningful to speak of entropy in the microphys...
Further to my two previous comments; chaos is a state of matters, in which human minds are incapable of predicting anything to happen with any accurac...
Further to my previous comment: I believe that to understand entropy properly, one must discard the "orderliness" concept. In my opinion and perceptio...
Most of the discussion on this thread is beyond my pay level. But this struck me as odd. Something being more likely than not depends on a comparison ...
I liked the suggestion of the opening post. A lot of criticism in later posts fail if you don't adhere to the letter of the teachings of Protagoras (a...
Morality is dead easy to explain, and I have done so. Nobody touched my theories, except complained that the first version I posted here was too long....
I'm going along the lines of pure reason. If the debaters have different versions of truth, and that's why they debate; and their different versions a...
You are marrying the right concept with the wrong one. Deconstruction is the truth. There may be other truths as well, but at the present state of sci...
By detecting prior to the debate if the debating candidates have pride. If they lack it, they are not a good match in a debate, and shan't be allowed ...
It is people's perception of what truth is that is debated. And truth (a precise description of reality) can't be found, much less described. Humans' ...
This is so true! But I shan't embrace it, because it impedes me in my quest to garner power. In the Darwinian sense, truth is strangely less conducive...
The Logical Positivists said all could, using this method. Wittgenstein showed it can't be done. Hence, Post-Modernism. I think philosophical problems...
What about enforcing the rules. The debate moderator is the judge and executor? Who are "we" that pass rules? and who are "we" in the subsequent steps...
