Natural selection which humans discovered had given rise to humans et al before and acid rain as a by-product of human industrial activities after. Su...
Witty's critique of 'linguistic betwitchment' consists, after all, of internal criticism (re: ordinary language) since there isn't an external or nonl...
Of course he did: nature before humans existed; but also your body before you developed self-awareness or bodily-awareness, and The Bard's "the undisc...
Understood. As an Epicurean-Spinozist I should be a strict determinist but I cannot ignore the fact of quantum uncertainty, vacuum fluctuations (re: v...
Um, no ... you've misread me or I wasn't clear enough. Your OP thesis refutes itself. "life is meaningless" is therefore also meaningless aka "babytal...
An online dialectical rodeo-clown's work is never done but, with all the nonstop bulls*** on threads like this one, somebody (bored enough) has gotta ...
e.g. Epicurus-Lucretius' 'swirling-swerving atoms'... Spinoza's 'conatus' ... :fire: Perhaps it refers to 'publicly accessible regularities of nature'...
You're welcome to your dogmatic stance, gmba! I won't trouble you trying to discuss this topic with you any further, and I appreciate the (time-saving...
Clearly, gramps, you're either too illiterate or too addled with age or both, so here's a very short video of Dr. Tyson spelling out the atheistic con...
:up: :up: Plato calls them "sophists" and in his Dialogues depict Socrates engaging some in dialectics. Off the top of my head (for their egregiously ...
A self-acknowledged fool obsessively studying, and reflecting upon, foolery in order to unlearn (reduce) immiserating (maladaptive) habits of judgment...
As I've pointed out already aka "indirect observations". Science might not grasp the "supernatural" itself but any of its physical effects (e.g. scrip...
News flash: scientists seek "god" or inexplicable ("super-natural") lapses in the constants and regularities of physical reality that are entailed by ...
Argument from ignorance fallacy. Apologetic gibberish. Assertion without argument can be dismissed without argument (Hitchen's Razor). Science concern...
And as Brentano/Husserl points out "mental ideality" is intentional, that is, always about non-mental reality (i.e. consciousness of what transcends c...
Your confusion lies with conflating the second-order meta claim of atheism (theism is not true) with the first-order object claim of theism (there is ...
The Captain only maps his 'ocean journey' but not the whole of the ocean. Thinking only reflects its 'errant thoughts of being' but not the whole of b...
"Twins" (I know from having 2 sets of uncles who are 'identical') are not the same. "Mind twins" would (could) not be the same either. You, my friend,...
“Je est un autre” ~Rimbaud To piggyback on what said, we're not clones and, even if we were, we wouldn't be 'identical' down to at least the cellular ...
"Why" questions which are not addressed to some particular person about her intentions / reasons are incoherent. Usually, what's intended are general,...
You don't. I don't. As I say above 'maps are aspects of the territory used to delineate, or make explicit, other aspects of the territory', so they ar...
(1) Whatever cannot be predicted "by" (i.e. is intractably complex to) "humans" is, of course, unpredictable for humans (e.g. chaos theory, the P vers...

This "priority" formulation is a red herring. My point is only that doubt requires grounds just as belief and disbelief do. To clarify, epistemic atti...
Ocean is the independent variable, tides are a dependent variable that 'makes explicit' a dynamic aspect of the ocean. "Equally presuppose" makes no s...
