Tell you what. Think it over as much as you'd like. I might reply to you some other time.

for what have I not provided "any actual argument"?

OK, firstly, you added text to a sole phrase of "why not" which you don't acknowledge editing in the given post or in you're last. Interpretations of ...

Well, that was the point: allowing for contradictions leads to a ubiquitous rational unintelligibly ... and that is why there being both an ontology o...

Because then 1 + 1 will not be equal to 2 at the same time and in the same way that it is equal to 2, and we then ought not prefer one over the other ...

If you'd like to end it here, that's OK with me. If you'd like to work this out some more, then please specify which prejudice your are addressing wit...

In my honest (non-belligerent) impression, you are here accusing me of things that I am not culpable of as pertains to the argument I’ve offered. Wher...

Agree that we all have our biases, but you're loosing me with this. Other than the prejudice that something ontic is (a topic for a different debate ....

I’ll say OK to this. But you’ll notice that, here, I was only offering you what I take to be a sound argument for why eliminativism is demonstrably wr...

My so far favorite Gettier case is this one (I’ve only read about Gettier cases online): I find it far more realistic than most others. For the record...

As much as I’m not on board with Cartesianism, this is where Descartes’ first person style argument becomes useful. Here’s a good natured challenge: y...

You by definition are here being purely rationalistic, and ignoring that devoid of awareness we cannot rationalize. OK, so despite clear cut etymology...

I'll butt in for a moment (sorry Wayfarer). I think they can be conceived of as illusory because subjects and consciousness are slippery fish to hold ...

This comes with things such as 6.5 of the global GDP being spent on subsidizing fossil fuels. ... and the rather fight-on-your-own attitude toward ren...

Been working on a logical argument, but it may be too convoluted to be taken seriously: P1: Greenhouse gases keep sunlight-produced warmth from dissip...

Yea, I find plenty of self-interest in love—though I don’t know if it can always be properly termed rational self-interest. This from all everyday not...

A rhetorical question: Has Mr. Trump not been emancipated from hunger? (a humorous question, I hope … now see that unenlightened got to this roundabou...

Why the question mark? :smile: Yea, that's how I've been thinking about it so far.

One of my all-time favorites is indefatigable: untiring, unrelenting, and the like. Something about how the word roles off the tongue … can never take...

Hey, thank you for the feedback. Yea, that belief is a form of trust has been my working hypothesis for a while now, and I can’t so far find anything ...

Since my last post had no takers, I’ll expand a little on what I previously posted so it doesn’t seem so trite. If there is no semantic difference bet...

Can you—or anyone else for that matter—find any difference between the semantics of “a maintained trust that ” and “a belief that ”? If yes, I so far ...

As a meta-example of what I’m saying: I uphold that fallibilism is true. It fallibilism is indeed a true belief (a belief which conforms to the ontic ...

But of course one can always fallibly know about one’s own existence, that 1 and 1 equates to 2, etc. In your statement though I read the implicit aff...

Ah, just saw your usage of epistemic justification contra my usage of factual justification. I like it. Right, but I don’t endorse the term of “infall...

Seems like there’s something in the way here, though I’m not sure what it is. As you’ve mentioned, (fallible) justification is about (imperfectly) evi...

This sort of leads its way into the issue of what justification is. There’s foundationalism, coherentism, or Susan Haack’s proposal of a hybrid, which...

In thinking that I agree, and in furthering this train of thought: There’s a difference between fallibilist systems of epistemology and infallibilist ...

Seems like it’s a glass half full half empty issue, from what I recall of him. But he did have parables that to me are not indicators of pessimism. Th...

Again, I’m in overall agreement with the sentiment the OP proposes, but I don’t yet see this sentiment being in any way applicable in today’s world--i...

I’ll be taking a break for now. Still—without here presenting what I already agree with and what I find issue with—I’m thinking it might be beneficial...

I gather from a few mocking birds that people have a hard time even figuring out what the golden rule is supposed to be about. How on earth is anyone ...

There are some terms that don’t chime true to me within the context so far addressed: “measure” and “better and worse taste ”. The first, measure, to ...

A personal truth simply means a personal non-falsity, or non-self-deception. That a person dreamt of trees would be the person’s personal truth, were ...

For my part, I'm in agreement.

Dude, if what one is interested in is a discussion that mutually attempts to better understand the subjective truths of others, where I come from tona...

You raise good points. Yet there remains this: the Viking, the young Earth Christian, and the physicalist atheist, when they are in close enough proxi...

And somehow, this isn't true? Sorry, but you lost me here. T-Bone Walker is neither superior nor inferior to Sting. Neither were the eras. To me that ...

As I mentioned previously, it’s a matter of taste. To entertain the comparison you’ve chosen— comparing an apple with an orange in terms of content—th...

And I will continue to uphold my own bias till I discover good reason not to. Nitpicking on two songs in an out of context fashion does not evidence a...

It depends on tastes, but for someone who doesn’t like the superficial stuff, I’m in agreement that as an overall appraisal, that which now makes it o...

There’s Truth, there’s truth(s), there’s a multitude of sometimes inconsistent connotations to each, and there doubtless is an unlimited amount of bot...

Well, to be crystal clear, a very happy Give-up! season to you as well! Merde, as the French might say.

I like this, especially the last sentence. Reminds me of a Veronica Wants to Die reasoning. Better yet, a Mash episode where the now paraplegic patien...

Yes, the value beyond conceptualizations of value. I'm working with the presumption that we're on a close enough page with what this signifies--but, t...

Oh, my late night sense of humor. Nihilists believe that there is no basic meaning to life or existence, yet they mean things when they speak, so at l...

This rings true to me. Yes, I too take it that there needs to be a metaphysical component to being in order for value-systems to not be nihilistic. Al...

That last post of ten hours ago baffled me a bit ... and I reinterpreted the previous ones in light of it. I read "Buddhism, Hinduism, and other spiri...

I’d like to remind that laconic, as I so far understand it, is also Spartan (such as in the movie 300): i.e. courageously to the point. That should an...
