Read my replies. No more replies to you apart from 'read my replies' until you do. Read them. Manners, matey - get some.
December 07, 2019 at 05:17
And you have no manners. Read my replies. Actually read them and stop just saying I have no objections. Hundreds of bloody words of replies to you - h...
December 07, 2019 at 05:15
Read. Me. Read what I wrote in reply to you. Don't just arrogantly ignore it and keep repeating your silly point. It's a silly point. As I explain in ...
December 07, 2019 at 05:13
Have done - that's the point!! You seem to think you have a stunningly good point - that Smith's belief about the occupier of the roles trouser conten...
December 07, 2019 at 05:12
read them then. Have some bloody manners and read them. I read your junk and now I have to wash my eyes. Read them and see how easy it is to refute yo...
December 07, 2019 at 05:07
Can you read??? First - no, you're just plain wrong. But second, even if you're not - read. my. variation. In my variation Jones - Jones - gets the jo...
December 07, 2019 at 05:04
Have the decency to read my example. In my example Jones gets the job and Smith's belief is true and justified but not knowledge.
December 07, 2019 at 05:03
Yes. It is. Your 'solution' demonstrably doesn't work. Er, no I won't be doing that except to quote this line, which I feel is apt: Ding ding! Oh, the...
December 07, 2019 at 05:01
No it isn't. The relevant belief is not "Jones has 10 coins in his pocket" but "the person who will get the job has 10 coins in his pocket". For insta...
December 07, 2019 at 04:39
Which makes it all the sadder that you don't understand them. That's it?? That's what you think overcomes Gettier cases? laughable. He believes 'the p...
December 07, 2019 at 04:24
No you aren't or you'd have done so. All filler, no killer. Remember - you don't even understand the cases you're talking about. Read the article and ...
December 07, 2019 at 04:07
You really aren't going to eat any more pie are you? There's so much of it! There's no 'we' here. Just explain. Lay it out for teacher. Show your work...
December 07, 2019 at 04:05
Now, you've stopped eating the humble pie - remember, I understand these cases far better than you. So stop acting like the reverse is true. It's a bi...
December 07, 2019 at 03:59
Yes, you heard about them 3 or 4 minutes ago - from me. That's the spirit. Get used to saying that. That's just one tiny crumb of humble pie there - I...
December 07, 2019 at 03:48
Hahaha - you really don't know your stuff. They're called 'fake barn' cases. They're very well known in the literature. Literature I seem to be better...
December 07, 2019 at 03:33
You don't understand the cases. YOu really don't.
December 07, 2019 at 03:32
OMg - you really don't understand Gettier cases. No, in the original case Smith believes that Jones - Jones - will get the job, and he also believes t...
December 07, 2019 at 03:32
No, take a humble pie and eat the whole thing - then go to the humble pie aisle in the supermarket and buy several more humble pies, and eat them. You...
December 07, 2019 at 03:04
You can't exist at time t, and not exist at time t. So, if your bodily death occurs at time t, then either you exist at time t, or you do not. If you ...
December 07, 2019 at 02:49
You have to exist at the time of your death in order to be harmed by it. If we take death to mark the end of bodily existence - or 'this' bodily exist...
December 07, 2019 at 02:45
I take it you are interested in whether it is a reality, as opposed to an essential element of a Christian worldview? I also take it that the idea of ...
December 07, 2019 at 02:34
Yes, well my cat can't distinguish between a Rembrandt and a child's scrawl and seems to think its own bottom is the most beautiful thing in the world...
December 07, 2019 at 01:45
? Explain. Saying something doesn't make it so (not normally). So, explain. Or are explanations beneath you?
December 07, 2019 at 00:59
I think the line going through your text was the best thing about it. Clarifying a belief is not the same as justifying it. Deal with it. Note, I just...
December 07, 2019 at 00:55
Er, I think you're the confused one. You don't seem to understand how Gettier cases work, or have any stable notion of what a 'well grounded' belief i...
December 07, 2019 at 00:48
Christ, this is tedious. No. You. Haven't. Saying 'malpractice' a lot doesn't do anything. I don't have a clue what you mean by it - and nor do you, y...
December 06, 2019 at 05:37
That's the problem the closed minded have always had with new solutions to old problems
December 06, 2019 at 05:07
No, it is just true. You can 'hold' whatever you want, that isn't going to make usefulness and truth denote the same property. Yes, some people can't ...
December 06, 2019 at 04:46
Again: see the thread on truth. This thread is on 'knowledge'.
December 06, 2019 at 04:40
No it doesn't. Clarifying what Buddhists believe, for instance, does not serve to justify those beliefs. There is no inconsistency in understanding th...
December 06, 2019 at 01:24
I described a case above. Here's another: there are four mugs in my sink. That's true, but it is too trivial for me to have any reason to believe it. ...
December 06, 2019 at 01:21
Yes, well stop that. That's not philosophy. Positions are ten a penny. And clarifying a position is not the same as justifying it.
December 06, 2019 at 01:05
Er, no. I think it is true and I provided an example of a case in which I might have knowledge yet lack a justification for my true belief. Read my re...
December 06, 2019 at 01:03
I didn't say that if I believe they hold unjustified beliefs, their beliefs are unjustified. This just underlines my point: you can believe your belie...
December 06, 2019 at 00:54
Which explains why it was nuts. Again, you haven't engaged with the argument of the OP, or argued anything at all. Just pronouncements.
December 06, 2019 at 00:49
Another pronouncement. And it's false. Are you being sponsored by "Total Crap PLC" or something? Even if it is true that everyone would justify their ...
December 06, 2019 at 00:44
Yes, and arrogance and ignorance are also problems many people suffer from too. But they are something to be ashamed of so, you know, be ashamed. Now ...
December 06, 2019 at 00:41
No, I just don't like those who confidently pronounce on matters they know nothing about. You said this: Another pronouncement. And all the claims are...
December 06, 2019 at 00:34
Whatever. It doesn't matter - the important point is that everything you've said is false. You've just pronounced, rather than argued. And your pronou...
December 06, 2019 at 00:30
We've established already that everything you say is false or nonsense.
December 06, 2019 at 00:27
Yes there is. It's not "but can not been known to be false", but "but can not have been known to be false". Doesn't matter, of course. But it does und...
December 06, 2019 at 00:17
You - you - should learn to write. They don't have a different meaning. You said "A belief may be false, but can not been known to be false". The gram...
December 06, 2019 at 00:13
yes you have: You clearly don't have a stable view.
December 06, 2019 at 00:08
I use 'justified' to mean 'has a normative reason to believe' (which is uncontroversial). So in saying that sometimes a person can 'know' something wi...
December 06, 2019 at 00:05
You do have good evidence - the fact that people clever enough to be paid to think about such things find the cases prima facie puzzling. If your doct...
December 05, 2019 at 23:45
And trees upend numbers in the dark.
December 05, 2019 at 23:37
Yes, that doesn't surprise me. Propositions can be true (or false). That's because they have 'representative contents' - that is, they represent somet...
December 05, 2019 at 23:37
Every single thing you've just said is false. That's quite impressive. A false belief can certainly be known to be false. A lot of people believe thin...
December 05, 2019 at 23:33
That's because you don't understand the original cases. (I mean, philosophers are and have been puzzled by these cases, so the fact you're not should ...
December 05, 2019 at 23:23
No, I just applied your reasoning to it. It refutes you. Holes can't be true. But they can be useful. Digging can't be true. But it can be useful. And...
