It's impossible with any sequence of numbers what comes next. The psychological / IQ tests that rely on this are all flawed. What comes after 1, 2, 3,...
- religious systems - evangelistic religions - your father - your Father - your torturer at Quantanimo bay - jails and prisons - sadistic nurses and o...
My bases for my opinion are that: 1. Your idea of a working medical system is different from mine and vice versa; and 2. I can't but help feeling that...
It's easy. Some of your priorities are fulfilled to expectation, some are not. The bloke is asking you how your expected priorities compare to the act...
So I don't agree to this. The healthcare system works in almost all countries. There is no system -- healthcare or other -- that is completely void of...
Any sequence of numbers can be described as a sequence of a polynomial function. Not only by one precise, exact and fitting polynomial function, but a...
I live in a small town. 400 thousand denizens or so. There are not enough doctors here. The doctors stay in the megapolis 130 miles away. Consequently...
There is no test for randomness. That's why they say god thorws dice. Nobody can generate random numbers, not because it's impossible, but because it ...
Okay. The labour-value theory is actually the labour-price theory. Price of a product can't be lower than its inherent cost, which is determined fully...
That's funny what I just wrote to Sir2U. Because we are immortalized, if not for all eternity, then for a time, which is presumably much longer than o...
which two did I find here? Let me quote from B-52 (an 80s band): "Planet Claire, Planet Claire, No-one ever dies here No-one has a head" We are all pr...
True, but it's not quite as bad when you can hang it on some other philosopher. It is actually frighteningly rare that any one particular philosopher ...
I think we are converging on a common understanding. Science does not fall victim to the Munchhausen effect, because: 1. Only those things fall victim...
Thank you, Amalac. May I make just one tiny change in the second definition, to inlcude that pragmatic sense also involves a chain of reasoning? For i...
The three things you say that you don't understand in my previous post neatly cancels out the post by you that I don't understand. This could be viewe...
"True in a kitchen faucet sense" is also the opposite to "true in a pragmatic sense." In other words, you gave no guidance how to understand "true in ...
(1) I don't know that it is possible for X to exist without knowing anything about X. The above is the negation of my assertion, (2) "I know that it i...
If science employed rational justification beyond what is enough for its own purpose, then it would fall victim to the Munchausen effect. But science ...
Again: Science won't explain to you whether god created the world or not. This may, for you, take some significance away from science, but there is en...
I don't know the definition of scientific instrumentalism or what you mean by "true in an epistemological sense", but maybe you got it now. Science ob...
The perfect math problem is complicated enough to challenge us, but easy enough so we can find its solution. The reward is an inner satisfaction. Nobo...
I am not sure what it means to be a philosopher. Once I found out what it means to love, and what women (and/or men, or gender bias-free beings, or tr...
I've come here to find true love, a pot of gold, and the elixir of eternal youth. Well, guess what. I'm still here. Two out of three ain't bad, but I'...
When that problem arises, we decide to believe that other rocks will fall, but as soon as we find a rock that does not fall, we shall revise our belie...
I think your counter argument is that if there is nothing known of a thing, then it is silly to say it exists or not. That may be true, that it is sil...
The assertion that X exists is nonsense in the absence of any data. But it is also silly to insist that it is impossible for X to exist, even if there...
The story of love and the human condition. I would present not in my own words, but in Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue". Or maybe in the words and sou...
I think the main use of pornography is its facility to generate an ambience of autoerotica. So what would be a miss use of it? Using it as a basis of ...
Ah. So what attribute or qualilty did I ascribe to god? None. I only ascribed qualities to god on the provisio if the bible were true. But I don't acc...
it is their problem, they just don't know it. Much like you are denying it, although you know about it, that there is a problem for Christians, and it...
It is easy to prove that the bible is not god's reveleation. If it were, it would not contain self-contradicting features. And there are plenty in the...
This is a problem for those who want to advocate that god exists for sure. And an even bigger problem for those who want to convince others that their...
My dear 180: we already agreed, from the looks of it, that existence is not a quality or an attribute. You somehow mistook the qualifier: "possible" f...
You're pinning "intentention" on my post as the process of creation of consciousness. That is unfair, although it makes no difference whatsoever. You ...
You are raising the point that existence is a quality or attribute. There is a debate on that. A huge debate. I am on the opinion (feel free to disagr...
Okay, let's see if I can get through to you another way. Show me the scientific article, published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, that precise...
