I know we smell, taste, and see our environment, yes. The noun “red” doesn’t refer to anything, save for maybe a concept or some other string of words...

It’s not clear what we’re experiencing when we use that sort of language, though, leaving unexplained the question of what color is. It’s impossible f...
August 12, 2024 at 17:01
I was speaking of color qua color, not color experiences, whatever those are. I don’t doubt that you experience the changes in pigment, but it seems t...

Trump is back on X.com https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1823016427680358790?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X-LNfg

The common ownership of the means of production sits as a dream in the heads of communists, just like the dictatorship of the proletariat, the labor t...
August 12, 2024 at 16:03
I’m wondering how this view accounts for the change of color, or the differentiation between colors. Mind independent things change color because thei...

Say that a coloring agent is added to a clear pen in order to make it red. Different agents can be added to different pens in order to add different c...

It is a fallacy. And you’re telling me you hope Kamala Harris is a real communist while arguing that the entire Chinese communist party aren’t real co...

Clown world. https://twitter.com/letsgometsf_a_n/status/1822469015651971185?s=46&t=IakyLvDoU1iHVTU4X-LNfg
August 11, 2024 at 05:33
Oh, a “real” communist. None of the other ones were real. Do you know why someone would abuse the No True Scotsman Fallacy? To avoid valid criticisms ...
August 11, 2024 at 05:17
What proof? Empty assertions and evasions is all you’ve ever given. First you hope for a communist politician and now you are trying to distance yours...
August 11, 2024 at 04:43
No one really cares what kind of companies and associations you like. In fact I’d hope you’d join one. But none of your evasions change the fact that ...

There are plenty of examples of people trying to bring it about, though. They turned out to be all shit-holes.
August 10, 2024 at 14:36
I asked why you hoped Kamala would be communist, and you told me to go read Das Kapital to come back with some arguments. Now you’re chastising me for...

You’re telling me to go read Marx while accusing me for being unable to think for myself. I’ve read Marx I’ve read his critics, and his critics won. B...

History is the greatest argument against communism. Get back to me when you have learned some.
August 09, 2024 at 15:22
Why?
August 09, 2024 at 14:52
Quite simply, they are censors. They’ll abuse power to silence views they do not like.
August 09, 2024 at 13:39
The realization that Harris is running a virtual campaign is setting in. No policy, no interviews, flip-flopping on past views like the banning of fra...

There was the intel provided by Dutch to the CIA earlier in the summer. The fact that the allegation was utterly false just makes it all the more egre...

They were. four shootings and several alleged sexual assaults in the span of weeks.

Find illegal votes because he was concerned about illegal activity, like a president ought to be. Democrats objected to Trump’s election first by tryi...
August 02, 2024 at 23:52
Right, contesting an election is wrong in your strange world… or at least only when Donald Trump does it. Yeah, the Supreme Court had to shut down a p...
August 02, 2024 at 23:28
@"schopenhauer1" laments the loss of decorum in politics, and Trump, through his magic words, is making it all happen. No greater example of magical t...
August 02, 2024 at 23:14
That’s the only thing you can say and it’s taken place of your arguments. Keep telling yourself that, if it helps. But you have nothing to dispute it....
August 02, 2024 at 22:54
I’m sure that’s true, especially if one prefers expediency and power-grubbing over principle. So long as others recognize the hypocritical violations ...
August 02, 2024 at 22:09
That’s odd because you still haven’t answered the question I asked. Bad faith can only get you so far.
August 02, 2024 at 21:26
The steele dossier. It was bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign. It worked exactly as they intended. If he did obstruct the investigation, it w...
August 02, 2024 at 21:07
I already stated why so think it was unfair. Do you think it’s fair to the millions who voted for Biden in the primaries? Do you think it was fair to ...
August 02, 2024 at 20:17
That’s wrong. The question at the end of the sentance indicates I was asking you a question. https://youtu.be/1kKUye23KBQ?si=udZ1DnXcir2p-wIR
August 02, 2024 at 19:35
Do you think it’s fair to the millions who voted for Biden in the primaries? Do you think it’s fair to lie about Biden’s abilities up until the moment...

Uh oh, RogueAI appears with his valuable insight.
August 02, 2024 at 17:56
It’s unfair to replace a candidate from a race because you’re losing, especially against the will of the voters, and it’s dishonest and fraudulent to ...
August 02, 2024 at 17:54
And it doesn’t happen under different conditions. That something novel occurs in one set of conditions doesn’t mean it applies to all. So using this o...
August 02, 2024 at 17:51
Those words do not imply rules have been broken. You’re starting to spread disinfo now.
August 02, 2024 at 17:06
They threatened Biden to pull out of the race when they knew he was losing and replaced him with a candidate who did not even get a single vote.

The distal object is a backlit screen, capable of shooting light in all sorts of different directions, or stopping light, sometimes through liquid cry...

No doubt the image of dress appears different to different people. It first appeared to me black and blue when I first looked at it, now it is a light...
August 02, 2024 at 16:03
We’ve never found any of those, either. Rather, it appears to be a property of the object. I do accept the naive view. But no, we haven’t found any pe...
August 02, 2024 at 14:47
Not purposefully. Can you give me an example?
August 02, 2024 at 14:28
We’ve examined many brains and discovered no such thing. It means that if you see a banana, you’re not seeing one in your head. I can record you looki...
August 02, 2024 at 14:27
Like what, for example?
August 02, 2024 at 14:24
What have I posted that is wrong?
August 02, 2024 at 14:22
Oh yes all the talking points have returned. You almost got all of them fit into one post. Bravo.
August 02, 2024 at 14:20
No such thing exists in your head. I can take a picture of any object and it will undoubtedly show that it is outside your head, and this includes all...

The judge’s daughter owns a company that helps Joe Biden and Kamala Harris win elections. The judge donated to democrats against ethics code. The DA r...

Then how come the color of the percept isn’t outside the object if the light is outside the object?
August 02, 2024 at 14:09
Wavelengths travel beyond the objects but the color never does. If the color is determined in part by the wavelength, how is it that if light bounces ...
