As I say, that's a somewhat naive view. The specification scheme allows one to avoid the paradox, but it doesn't necessarily solve the paradox. The wh...
I see you made other threads with titles like this, but I'm too lazy to check them. Anyway, in modern mathematics Russell's Paradox isn't so much "sol...
This is presumptuous. There are developments in quantum mechanics - extending to its ontology and thus the formal logic used - where quantum objects l...
Well, my initial thought is that when art breaks the 4th wall, it sort of ends up incorporating the real world into itself, making it inconsistent sin...
Well, depending on what you mean by "everything", many do not accept that a theory for everything is possible. If the theory is supposed to explain ev...
I think that's naive. It's certainly getting better, but not by itself. That's what people think after the fact, but it ignores that people are active...
I don't know of any examples of incompleteness in reality (by which I assume you mean the physical world). In mathematics sure, but the reason for Inc...
Bringing up Malcolm X here makes no sense. His point there was that the house negroes were traitors to their people, that he identified himself with h...
The point of the OP is the purported inconsistency of how the rules are carried out. Also, I'd argue that philosophical inquiry is hardly ever useful,...
The proposal was to stop making men: Unless men were also legally made to be unable to reproduce other men via the same method (throw in artificial wo...
What do you mean by "quantifiable"? I'd simply say that there's no item of knowledge to which knowledge of it is infallible, therefore we don't really...
This is just... no. Look, even if I take your definition of quantity, I can easily show infinity is a quantity. Take the set of Natural Numbers (o, 1,...
Eh, I suppose it depends on what you mean. I mean, we used to think the universe's geometry was Euclidean in nature but the adoption of Relativity see...
That's not really the sort of sentence I used. I didn't say the Liar was " 'This sentence' is false". "This sentence" cannot have the property of trut...
Plantinga's argument is a valid argument, but it is unsound or at least disputable for a number of reasons. To the extent that Plantinga himself admit...
Some interesting stuff. In my experience, the "X is self-evident" is asserted as a context-independent truth, that some things are literally impossibl...
I don't know how you'd choose to have a choice without the entire enterprise devolving into an infinite "I chose to choose that I chose to choose, etc...
Exactly. Peterson and co. just treat the cause of suffering as being the fault of or caused by no one, or if anyone caused it it's the people who are ...
Well to be fair I goofed a bit. The Revenge Paradox is actually "This sentence is not true", which covers the meaningless case I gave, since "meaningl...
You've got this twisted. The "criticism" was simply that if indeed he believed the axioms of Euclidean Geometry were metaphysically necessary, then No...
But the fact that Geometry was Euclidean Geometry at the time would suggest that he meant Euclidean Geometry, especially as (as you say) Euclid was co...
I don't see how the parallel postulate in particular must be mentioned by Kant to count against his apparent view. Kant didn't mark out that postulate...
The Liar isn't cyclic though. The subject of "This sentence is false" is the same as the subject of "This sentence is an English sentence". I don't fo...
But your quote of Ryle said that the issue was the use of impredicative definitions: A far as I can tell, Ryle's argument is that the sin of the Liars...
No problem. I believe Kant did as I said, though as with you, I'm relying on a secondary source (and potentially worse, my hazy recollection of that s...
So the issue is with impredication (what I earlier called self-predication), which is how I construed this resolution earlier. I don't think this work...
How do you know the hierarchy "shifts towards competency"? You didn't really answer my question, you just told me what you believe is the case. How is...
Isn't the issue that Kant elevated the postulates of Euclidean geometry to the level of a metaphysical certitude, and the Non-Euclidean Geometry shows...
JFK assassination. At least that is a thing that happens and (depending on how this conspiracy is outlined) doesn't require one to completely overturn...
To echo you, that is bullshit on stilts. How can you say that with a straight face? Saying "Group X generally has certain advantages (often even when ...
I think you are largely misrepresenting the idea of privilege in this case. Just as a first point, you take aim at "leftist sociologists and political...
I agree that your example is a category mistake, but that's because it's trying to predicate truth on an object which cannot bear it, whereas sentence...
It has been rather interesting the last several years watching all this hullabaloo about the end of America (or of freedom in America) because of poli...
Kripke is the one who came up with this groundedness solution as far as I know, you seem to have presented his analysis of it. It is not stated to hav...
I think I agree. The article does say the Liar cannot be expressed in a strongly self-referential language. So any language the Liar appears is not "s...
You know, I get into this same kind of silly nonsense when I see a naive Marxist making an argument. Just asserting the thing doesn't make it so. "Wel...
I don't have time to do a proper response at this moment but just a note. You said the quote was from a different article but you literally linked the...
Oh that's just nonsense. I'm not a Marxist (anymore; we all have our oddities at uni), but the fact that in Marxism the bourgeois are against the prol...
I don't know if it means that, because notice how the T-schema is setup: True(x) <=> x If it were simply to explain the meaning if truth within logic,...
Marxist Lie of White Privilege??? Apparently the left-wing political ideologies are this brute mush that are the same thing and composed of people who...
Um, that's not what I said, even in your quote of me. I said: IOW, that 'x' and "True(x)" are logically equivalent, they have the same logical value/t...
That's just assuming the Kripke's solution and it fails for the same reason. This notion of groundedness can be just as easily used to restate the par...
