Not quite. The two rows are different in location, but the bananas are identical to each other in every other aspect but location. Try the experiment ...

I love this. Accusing math of being a Democrat.

Homosexuality is hard to explain physiologically, because we don't have an explanation yet. It might be forthcoming, but as of yet, no yeti. Evolution...

Notice, I wrote "can". You jump into wrong conclusions.
December 31, 2019 at 10:48
Right. We often speak of "ships" as "her" or "she", although they definitely have no tits. It is a socially assigned role, he-she is. In jails oftenti...

I don't know if someone has said this yet, but my opinion can be expressed in one short sentence: "What's good for the gander, is good for the gender....

Hohoh!! An apparatnyichkaya Gyevotchka can pretend to be a communalist, in order to serve her individualism. Because observed behavior of another is n...

the only unprovable truths I know about math are its axioms and its axiomatic behaviour. (Such as 2+7=4.) Do they, the axioms of math, qualify as bein...

Ay-vey, Immanuel. Just because you can see it, it does not mean it can't be a priori existant. What a narrow-minded little block-head that Immanuel wa...

Try solipsisism or syllopsysosm. I can't spell the danged thing, but I know what it is. Try that. That refutes the entire truth value of observation. ...

Psychophilosophically, furthermore, pscyhopathiphilosophically, we are hardwired by evolutionary changes. This means hardwired for cooperation, but al...

I like this. "Here's looking at you, kid." It is glib, clever, and wastes no time. It uses the same weaponry as the offender -- I called the offender ...

I hedging my bets. That is rational. I use rational methods to arrive at what I believe and what I don't. The outcome may be true or false, but it is ...

You win, Tim Wood. Let's hate each other, beat each other up on the street, rape each other's wives and daughters, because according to you this is th...

This is what I corrected my script to. Please wait a few minutes to reply to my comments, because I edit my comments after I have written them. This w...

No she is not, Young Grasshopper. She is trying to find a scape goat; she is inciting anger; she is segregating a group or trying to find one to segre...

It would be worth your while to investigate how much electricity a solar panel produces on an average day. Or rather, on a daily average taken over a ...

The empirical evidence was that you saw it. If you did not see it but insisted that there was a squirrel there last Thursday, but you never heard anyo...

God comes down to Earth and meets a Roman. "Roman," God says, "I have a commandment for you." "Oh? What is it?" Asks the Roman. "Thou shalt not kill."...

I am a student who uses his head. Years of indoctrination in the wrong logic hasn't touched me. I hope it never will.
December 27, 2019 at 17:00
What i am objecting to is that you use at least two different scenarios to prove a general point, and the two scenarios are not identical in nature. I...

Please forgive me... but "Soft Hedonism" conjures for me an image which I can't escape, and it stops me from rational thinking of the topic, due to la...
December 27, 2019 at 16:37
Right you are. You seemed to have discovered that methods exist for each discipline. But that does not reduce them to "paperwork".
December 27, 2019 at 16:32
You're right. I was wrong. I said then after that in at least two places, the correct version, but that does not vindicate me for my error. Well done.

1. This reply is not founded on empirical evidence, and no a priori knowledge exists. So it could be true or false, nobody knows. 2. Rather allegedly,...

You could have fooled me with this EARLIER statement by you: (My answer to the above was clearly "not", as you know now.) If you believe that, nobody ...

It's like saying, "A duck lays an egg, a penquin lays an egg, therefore both duck and penguin are chicken." Aside from that, science does not follow a...

Self-Studying Philosophy I somehow can't believe philosophy can study its own self. I am very much on the opinion that a human must get involved there...

Knowledge is power. And don't you forget that. Power is something else. Something else is something else again. And don't you forget that. This is the...
December 27, 2019 at 13:12
Does it mean I am myself? My first name starts with an "A". Then what happens when I'm beside myself? Am I still identical to myself? Or let's suppose...
December 27, 2019 at 13:09
Mathematics and its proofs are presented as a priori truths. Physical observation and experimentation is empirical. Therefore you're right, when you s...
December 27, 2019 at 12:06
Again, this invalidates the possibility that the room is completely empty; yet you specifically stated that that assumption must be true. You can't ch...
December 27, 2019 at 11:57
You specified that the room may contain no objects. Only objects can be red. Nothing cannot be red. Therefore your first premise is wrong. The rest of...
December 27, 2019 at 11:49
Why? It has proof value. Your proposition has been disproven by a proof-value tool. Why proceed from there?
December 27, 2019 at 11:47
You and I are saying the same thing, I don't know why you spake in a tone as if to correct me. I said Rule by nobody is the same as no ruler. I don't ...

Thank you.
December 27, 2019 at 06:18
In other words, you must not use parts of one (only one, one and the same) Venn diagram to make it apply to empty sets, and parts of the same to non-e...
December 27, 2019 at 05:59
I don't know if you can see my point. You say of the areas of the inside of either circles, "this applies to non-empty sets." then you say of the area...
December 27, 2019 at 05:58
But you can't take a Venn diagram and say, "this part of a given Venn diagram applies to these things, and these things only, and that part of the sam...

Thanks, PFH.
December 27, 2019 at 05:43
There are several problems with your explanation if we apply it to things, or to the real world. But you assure us, rightfully so, that your argument ...
December 26, 2019 at 21:31
So, okay, well, then, what is this apeiron theory? What is its starting point, argument and conclusion? We still don't know, we, the great unwashed wh...

Then what is the area OUTSIDE of both circles, and outside their intersection? In Venn diagrams that area is also meaningful. If "everthing" is the le...

This does not negate that you denounced scientific work. It only asserts that you ought not to have. This was not a fact. Your argument was, as far as...
December 26, 2019 at 20:59
I refuse to be buried under a conglomeration of philosobabble. God is not concrete. The argument you used said god is concrete. If you want to argue t...
December 26, 2019 at 15:16
Concrete things exist. Hypthetical things don't necessarily exist. You are white-washing the false argument. Or else you don't understand the impact o...
