Or, just as well, some(one) to blame, a Feuerbachian scapegoat ... Otherwise, our in-gratitude signifies taking 'the living – boredom and spite, joys ...

Wrong. Only propositions have truth-values.

:mask: p = p is a tautology. ~p = ~p is a tautology. p = ~p is a contradiction. "p V ~p" is a bivalence expression, and therefore neither a tautology ...

Any evidence of disembodied minds (conscious or otherwise)? If the eliminativists are correct, however, we're all just p-zombies deluding ourselves th...

Apparently, pandeism is a belated materialist/physicalist variation on the tzimtzum theme (i.e. creation = creator/s abscondus). Nothing about vicario...

Probably.

Such is wife.

I take your point (sort of) ... but "the idea of a person" is metaphysical, not physical, so what does "evidence" as such have to do with it? "People ...

Proving that QT is not incomplete as EPR suggested because entanglement can be measured in no way proves or "confirms" classical (i.e. deterministic) ...

No. But 'failure of imagination' is not itself an argument against even ludicrous, evidence-free ideas like "after lives" or "past lives".

Trivial simplification though this is, I nonetheless can't understand 'spacetime' except in terms analogous to the surface of the Moon or a grapefruit...

Care to unpack what you mean by this in a few sentences or paragraphs?

Einstein believed the same about that crazy Schwarzschild radius idea; now about a century later look: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.space.com/amp/...

Another axiom?

I’m beginning to come round to that opinion.

Scientific evidence would suffice.
June 02, 2021 at 05:08
I don't know. What I do know is that g/G is never the issue but rather the sets of claims attributed to g/G. Theism is one such set. If theism – its s...

Giving out more rope again. I'll go on for now, but just for the encore of spasms.

God is a member of the Null Set. Godot is coming, be patient! Gödel diagnolizes us all.

We don't need "objective", even neutral, just scrupulously FAIR. Any member with a reputation for fairness and/or the demonstrated maturity we can rea...

Nice. Proposition 8 is a false dichotomy. Both p & not-p can be false. Both can be true iff p is epistemological and not-p is ontological.

Very good. Have you got an Admin to set up our debate space and found a member to moderate the debate who's to your liking? Banno works for me. Who mo...
