Apparently, you can't answer my question.
June 29, 2021 at 13:29
It's your thread topic not mine. I asked so I can answer your questions rather than impose my own. So ... To itself? Yes – intrinsic (dao) To humans? ...

"The universe", as best as we've yet scientifically determined, seems an 'unbounded finite expanse' like a hyper-torus (or hyper-sphere, or maybe even...

Reread my previous posts. My meaning, I think, is clear.

Way too much "playing tennis without a net" going on for this thread to remotely be a philosophical, let alone historical, discussion.

Interesting. Thanks for posting that list. I'd only become aware of a number of those songs years later as a (pre)teen when I started listening to mus...

This song has always hit very close to home for me, having seen my father for the last time in 1970 and then my parents divorcing in 1972 when this mo...

Macca's stand-in for Ringo was actually pretty good. "Come and keep your comrade warm!" :up: (Great – though not a fan – Beach Boys send-up.)

Spot on. :100: The Jesus Cult (Nazarenes) was clearly Jewish whereas The Pauline Church (Christians) was Gentile. The latter survived to become the vi...

No, not "anti-scientific", just not scientific (or non-cognitive) at all like in any aspect of philosophy. No. Having just read Hegoland myself, I con...

Okay. I await your BiV reasoning though.
June 27, 2021 at 08:33
Oh yes, I know, which is why I'm not exclusively or primarily a foundherentist (as I point out in my previous post). And I append it to the end my bro...

Yes, "inevitability, inescapability" is what justified means in this context and not 'a moral obligation'. The latter only applies to individuals and ...

Even more, I know I am. And yes, whereas "introspection is unreliable", abduction (Peirce) is not.
