You don't believe we have minds?? So you don't believe in mental states either, for they are states of mind. Well, your beliefs do not determine what'...

your rish was gibber. Up your game
July 10, 2021 at 17:43
Gibberish.

Learn what words mean. Then realize that everything I said in those quotes was accurate.
July 10, 2021 at 16:30
'Can' is the important word there. Yes, he 'can'. That's why there are no necessary truths, just contingent ones. God 'can' do anything. If God exists...

Gregory, your comprehension skills seem to be somewhere between those of a rock and a newt. I think the law of non contradiction is TRUE. I have said ...

But you believe in the mind, presumably? A soul is just an immaterial mind. So the same applies if, implausibly, minds are material. There comes a poi...

Focus on the argument and not the arguer. What I can't stand are shit arguments. Now Banno has a shit argument. Banno thinks that if the law of non co...

Depends if a soul is present in it. Lumps of meat don't deserve moral consideration. Not normally anyway. Souls do. Not clear when a soul enters a fet...

No, if you can't get to sleep if you want to, you lack an ability. If you can get to sleep whenever you want to, you have one. If you can destroy your...
July 10, 2021 at 13:46
You don't have an argument, do you? I say that it is possible for the law of non contradiction to be false, and all you can do is insist that means I ...
July 10, 2021 at 13:37
Oh dear Banno. Don't you read English, Banno? I think the law of non-contradiction is true. Remember? If I thought the law of non-contradiction was fa...
July 10, 2021 at 06:59
Well, I have told you several times that I don't understand them. If you just expressed yourself in english rather than symbols it'd be clearer to us ...
July 10, 2021 at 06:57
Why do you think that? That is, why do you think he'd make an excellent argument for it? And of course it is missing here - I am not arguing that the ...
July 10, 2021 at 06:26
No, they make it less clear for I don't know what they mean. YOu might as well express yourself in German. If you genuinely wanted to be clear, you wo...
July 10, 2021 at 06:25
So, just to be clear: you think it pointless to engage in philosophical discussion with a philosopher who thinks the law of non-contradiction is true,...
July 10, 2021 at 06:20
Good. But.... Squiggles and squoggles. Let's get rid of them, shall we. So, you have attributed to me the view that I think that for some proposition ...
July 10, 2021 at 06:08
What? More squiggles and squoggles. You love your latin and your squoggles, don't you? No, I claim that there are no true contradictions in the actual...
July 10, 2021 at 05:35
Er, no. I am in the actual world claiming that in the actual world no true proposition is also false. Just as I am in the actual world claiming that t...
July 10, 2021 at 05:27
I don't deny that there is a possible world in which contradictions are true (whatever a 'possible world' is - I have no idea). I claim that in the ac...
July 10, 2021 at 04:11
If what's at issue is whether the law of non-contradiction is necessary or contingent, then you beg the question if you assume it is a necessary truth...
July 10, 2021 at 04:06
Oops. You put that word 'necessary' in there. That's question begging. Without - without - assuming that the law of non-contradiction is a necessary t...
July 10, 2021 at 03:57
Oh shut up. I have addressed the topic of this thread and I am answering questions someone is putting to me. If you don't like it, use that thing call...
July 10, 2021 at 03:55
Yes, certainly those claims are true. Although I can actually demonstrate that it is not necessarily true. But here I am asserting it. Squiggle squogg...
July 10, 2021 at 03:39
Replace the symbols with words. I don't know what they mean.
July 10, 2021 at 03:36
I see you put what you consider to be the relevant part in bold, as if that will somehow affect things. How? I don't follow you. Don't use symbols, I ...
July 10, 2021 at 03:27
Where do I assert a contradiction, Banno? Highlight it. So? Get out more. I think it isn't a necessary truth. But I think it is true. You think I thin...
July 10, 2021 at 03:15
No, I argued it. Here: And above, here: Now, address that argument.
July 10, 2021 at 03:08
Then why did you make it? Just goading, yes? You're not remotely interested in addressing anything of substance that I have said. I assume because you...
July 10, 2021 at 03:02
And here we go. You ARE an amateur. That's not an insult, it is accurate. The others were addressed to your argument, not you. Your argument IS shit. ...
July 10, 2021 at 02:44
Yes, but only once you start trying to abuse me rather than addressing my arguments, then I will abuse you back and abuse you better. I'm almost certa...
July 10, 2021 at 02:20
Oh, I see that you did attempt to do this above. It failed abysmally. There was more sky-daddying and cod psychology of the sort that suggests you hav...
July 09, 2021 at 23:58
Stop squawking other people's slogans, farmyard cockerel. Engage with the OP. That is, try and argue something. I argued something. Try and argue back...
July 09, 2021 at 22:31
Hmm, well I agree that the belief that an omniscient being can and will have some false beliefs is justified and thus an item of knowledge. And I agre...
July 09, 2021 at 11:27
That's just bad psychology. If someone expends a lot of effort defending a view it is more likely due to the fact they sincerely think it worth defend...
July 08, 2021 at 19:50
You possess knowledge do you? I don't think you do. I think there's ample evidence from the content of your posts here that your wisdom comes from the...
July 08, 2021 at 19:40
Yes. It is just an ad hominem point anyway. It doesn't matter how any particular theist arrives at their belief, what matters is whether it is true an...
July 08, 2021 at 19:35
You say that lacking knowledge of a proposition's truth is evidence of lack of omniscience. But that's question begging because whether it constitutes...
July 08, 2021 at 19:21
You sound like you're snorting and frothing at the mouth. And all this status talk and henpecking anxiety - it all sounds very farmyardy. I take it th...
July 08, 2021 at 19:13
And you seem to think you have important information to give and that I have misunderstood something. I see no evidence in support of either claim. I ...
July 08, 2021 at 05:09
As ever, you fail to focus on the relevant issue. I considerately answered your off-topic questions, and told you - several times now - that they were...
July 08, 2021 at 04:53
Oh, I see you've mentioned me. And gotten it all wrong, as ever. Do move aside, amateur! First, let's crucify your opening argument: Well, the conclus...
July 08, 2021 at 02:22
If there are no mistakes, how do we explain you? Did i make a mistake somewhere then? I thought mistakes don't exist.
July 08, 2021 at 01:41
This is really off topic, as I've already explained that my case does not depend upon identifying God with Reason. God is by definition able to do any...
July 08, 2021 at 01:37
Finished polishing your halo? And don't thank me for finding the gaping rents in everything you've said and thereby helping you to fix them. Now I thi...
July 08, 2021 at 01:23
One of the stranger things I've been told to do.
July 08, 2021 at 00:23
And do you have reason to believe that, or no reason to believe it? Plus truth itself seems essentially to involve Reason. I don't think you begin to ...
July 08, 2021 at 00:21
I will deal with you noobs above shortly when I am at my computer and not stabbing away at a phone. But it has occurred to me that there are some posi...
July 07, 2021 at 19:49
Anything philosophical to contribute or just cod psychology? Engage with the OP. Rest assured that I will be delighted if someone raises a good object...
July 07, 2021 at 18:28
Clement? You think reading Clement Freud will help me uncover my motives in drawing attention to your double digit IQ? I don't think so. It might help...
