I fail to see the point of your reply in light of me not saying anything in particular about Husserl (who is neither the alpha nor omega of phenomenol...

I'm not aware of any compelling evidence of a "conspiracy by the US government" to cover-up what actually happened on "9-11". Snowden? Assange? Wikile...

The premise has been twice refuted by logic and physics, therefore your argument fails. Period. Stop kidding yourself – the OP is that weak. There's n...

Gibberish. Sorry, man. You've no evidence. I didn't read your argument but you give plently that you haven't read my 2 logical and physical counter-ar...

Phishing for more credit than you deserve, friend, ain't the way to get it.

Tabloid shit rather than actual journalism. Oh, c'mon. Really? "Pizzagate" was shown to be false years ago. :lol:
November 07, 2021 at 18:03
What "strawmen"? Stop special pleading ... Your premise is incoherent, therefore the argument fails. QED. :smirk: I put more cogent, apt, counters on ...

No, sir, I also read your opening sentence: Clearly it does not. This "concluded ... necessity" has long been refuted in both philosophy (logic) and p...

As far as I can tell, Gnosticism is the template, or Ur-conspiracy theory, in "the West" (vide H. Bloom) – a witches' brew of Platonic two-worldism an...

My post simply shows that "first ... logically necessary" is incoherent. Based on that faulty premise, for me your argument is DOA. No diss meant, jus...

:smirk: :up: Apparently, "interpretation" is one of those lit-crit loan words in philosophy which is easier to over-interpret than most other terms.
November 07, 2021 at 08:00
Hidden premises. Unwarranted assertion. (This again.) Invalid inference (1, 2)
November 07, 2021 at 07:54
To be kind, even charitable, the technical term (Thanks, Harry F.) for this "interpretation" is bullshit. :zip:

You've completely lost me.

C'mon, Batshitz, substantiate your claim: which question is begged? :nerd:
November 07, 2021 at 01:58

You said the status of truth-claims do not change and I say they do. Not the same page or even the same book. And "science and philosophy both make me...
November 04, 2021 at 23:50
Yeah, but I didn't confuse them, I just pointed out that "the status of truth claims" do, in fact, change: undecided, demonstated or refuted. For inst...
