You are specifying a lot of specific criteria which may belong to certain systems of socialism, but which I don't think can legitimately be said to be...
Whether or not the approximation has contradictions is irrelevant to the fact that it is the approximation and the thing to which it points conceptual...
And of course there is the role of faith in everything from epistemology to social reality. These institutional facts don't depend on the pre-existenc...
A lot of quibbling about "the god of the new testament" versus "the concept of god." This could be recast as a debate about the existence of atoms. By...
Which kind of atheism is essentially a socio-cultural critique, which is the most reasonable version of atheism I have heard. Unlike the nonsensical v...
You did not write the following? redicates of X entail search parameters for locating X (i.e. whether or not X exists where & when). Because it sure l...
It only proves this if you can definitively say that and where the missing item ought to be. Which is absurd. The only way you could say that would be...
My HR hits 180 when I push. The 225 minus age calculation doesn't work well for trained athletes. However I did see a youtube last week that cited a s...
I used to run a whole lot, but the further past 50 I go the more challenging it becomes. I would be over the moon to run a 28 minute 5 k these days. G...
The difference being that the ecosystem is naturally holistic and exceeds our limited conceptualizations thereof, Whereas the economy is artificial an...
Yes, it would require the same type of freedom and environmental control and impact that every other form of life enjoys. However it seems completely ...
That's just an abstract? Do you have a pdf of the full article? I'm in the thick of this right now in the context of the book Quantum Mind and would b...
Do you believe that human-constructed artefacts, which are engineered to correct errors in order to function within a predefined scope, are subject to...
Reasoning is essentially functional problem solving in an environment and is both a logical and a real antecedent of linguistic reasoning. Language em...
I agree that this is one fundamental path to enlightenment. Whatever good ideas there might be are ultimately limited by the prevailing degree of soci...
For me the problem is twofold. There is this issue of political practicality, how can consensus be built to the optimum end. And then there is the ass...
Most people segment into liberal versus conservative, for starters. Democrat versus Republican. Again, are these more than words to the vast majority?...
Habermas I believe characterized constitutions as a kind of a catalog of the failures of a the old society which are to be redressed by the new. In Th...
More traditional political categories. My sense is that the upper echelons benefit by playing groups off against one another in order to forestall the...
Again, as an ideological guide or norm, broad enough to bridge the traditionally divisive categories. I think the true divide lies between greed and g...
I'm really interested in finding a way to transcend traditional divisions. As mentioned, I don't think they are meaningful in the elite strata who exe...
Yes, this is the heart of the issue. What does a stated value equate to? It is easy to cite "traditional family values" as your gospel. But what the h...
You can look at mind as the manifestation of brain-consciousness. Or you can look at mind as the correlate of the products of the "sciences of the spi...
You keep saying this like it is a thing. What you are talking about is an artificial language suitable for application within a definite and restricte...
I would say that the process we are involved in now itself represents the development and evolution of meaning, which is integral to philosophy. Meani...
The lack of what you call a "unified meaning" reflects a lack of consensus, hence a diversity of opinion. This diversity is the source of the richness...
Yes, these results are in direct opposition. The degradation of neural net performance is specifically a failure of divergent thinking. Moreover, whil...
I think that some people believe that AI is hoisting itself up by its own bootstraps, programming itself, perhaps in some sense that is a precursor to...
Apparently we are going to have to wait until the rest of civilization catches up with Canada's progressive cannabis laws before we can think about go...
