That's why I added "What does it look like" in case you could show us. So, how can one demonstrate or justify that there are "aspects of know-how that...

...and from satire. Satire, I'm told, is "an obsolete kind of literary composition in which the vices and follies of the author's enemies were expound...

A proper account of irony is going to have to differentiate it from sarcasm. I've no idea what sarcasm is.
December 01, 2022 at 06:24
None. What's missing is the riding of the bike. That was my point way back on page one. :meh: I'm sorry you are finding this so hard. (Edit: That is, ...
December 01, 2022 at 06:01
It occurs to me that if reference is inscrutable, and one takes all of meaning to be referential, then Quine pretty much renders language inscrutable....
December 01, 2022 at 06:00
And I've answered you, repeatedly, with examples, that it can be, and that's what makes the tacit knowledge explicit.
December 01, 2022 at 05:49
Such as...? A bit of know-how that cannot be understood...? What does this look like?
December 01, 2022 at 05:47
Hmm. Tacit and ineffable are not synonyms. Hence that which is tacit is not thereby ineffable. That was rather the point. I had taken the argument to ...
December 01, 2022 at 04:59
indeed, which is it? The position of the knob or the timing of a note are tacit yet stateable.
December 01, 2022 at 01:28
So to all, it's not uncommon for tacit knowledge to be described as ineffable. It derives I believe from Michael Polanyi, someone who receives scant a...
December 01, 2022 at 01:19
Well, if what I just described does not answer your question, then I've not understood your question. And after pages of discussion, if that's the cas...
December 01, 2022 at 00:12
:rofl: Less than I'd like. It's only six notes, but it's a bitch.
November 30, 2022 at 23:47
Happy to got there with you. There's no keys mentioned in the notes, so it must be a harp. What this whole discussion misses is the interplay between ...
November 30, 2022 at 23:44
Too far. Stop.
November 30, 2022 at 23:17
Unstated or unstateable? I have, multiple times, to you and in anther more interesting discussion with @"Moliere". I'll try again, this time with an e...
November 30, 2022 at 23:07
Has Sir Les ever run for office? He would presumably have a mixed voter base, consisting on the one hand of those who appreciate his contribution to t...
November 30, 2022 at 21:37
Especially this: It would however be an error to think the analytic approach does not address issues of action. Tacit vs. explicit.
November 30, 2022 at 21:24
Apocryphal has Bill Bryson suggesting that 40% of Americans do understand irony. That's what, a hundred million folk? Enough for to support a market i...
November 30, 2022 at 21:05
Blame Alanis Morrisette.
November 30, 2022 at 20:59
I don't think I've grasped what you are getting at. Here's what I understood. First, you think Wittgenstein was not an analytic philosopher. Well, I a...
November 29, 2022 at 21:09
Well, thanks for that - nice try. So you have KG1, where betty has read all there is to read on guitar playing. And KG2, where Betty has practiced and...
November 29, 2022 at 20:51
Then why don't you have a go at explaining it to us. We agree that and which as Luke says is my argument, so where to from there?
November 29, 2022 at 08:53
Does it make sense to you? For example how can one do a "systematic analysis of this correlation between subjectivity and world" without words. And if...
November 29, 2022 at 08:18
Did you have something in mind? The OP lists a few possible uses for the word, but we now seem to be dealing with the supposed ineffability of private...
November 29, 2022 at 08:00
How will you show that my private first person experience is false? How will you show that your private first person experience is false? Think that m...
November 29, 2022 at 07:42
(1) is true, (2) unknown, since Brown may have called but not gotten through, no?
November 29, 2022 at 07:34
Seems to me the obvious response, should you want to keep bivalence, is the block universe. It is true, or it is false, that “I shall be in Warsaw at ...
November 29, 2022 at 06:47
Ooo look. Hypericin gets it. Indeed. :wink:
November 29, 2022 at 06:19
Why, thank you. Very kind. It's true, many things seem odd to me that seem ordinary to others. It just was unclear what your purpose was with that pos...
November 29, 2022 at 01:14
Thank you, but due credit to my interlocutors, who elicit such stuff; my comments are but a pale reflection of their brilliance.
November 29, 2022 at 01:08
Fixed.
November 29, 2022 at 00:43
Fine. Seems an odd thing to point out though.
November 29, 2022 at 00:36
Here's a complete list of what you need to do in order to ride a bike: Ride the bike. I stand corrected. Now fuck eff off, both of you. :kiss:
November 29, 2022 at 00:35
Thanks for the chat.
November 29, 2022 at 00:17
Yep. One last try. A list of "how to ride a bike" can never be completed.
November 29, 2022 at 00:14
This is to ?? With all these biblical references I'm uncomfortable about your claim of "knowing" me... Not without dinner. But it seems you claim to k...
November 29, 2022 at 00:12
Indeed, turns out a thread on the ineffable runs to at least twenty pages.
November 29, 2022 at 00:00
Here's were this increasingly ridiculous line started: it was an attempt to point to the distinction between tacit and explicit knowledge and to show ...
November 28, 2022 at 23:59
It's not ineffable. It's "ride the bike". Yep. So for you adding "ride the bike" to the instructions is just a way of completing them. Cheers, Luke. T...
November 28, 2022 at 23:47
Things havn't changes all that much.
November 28, 2022 at 23:38
Despite protestations to the contrary, the commandments were not a highpoint for meta-ethics.
November 28, 2022 at 23:27
And that something just is riding the bike. Which is not a something. As if the list were only complete when we add as a final item: ride the bike
November 28, 2022 at 23:25
Cheers.
November 28, 2022 at 23:21
No knowledge is added by the experience of riding the bike. Having a list of what to do to ride a bike is not riding a bike, nor being able to ride a ...
November 28, 2022 at 23:01
I was a teacher for a while, and know well the compulsion to correct error. I spent a few years interacting with MU, eventually to decide that, while ...
November 28, 2022 at 22:49
I don't see how. Yes, you have quoted it but not explained any contradiction. One is about the experience of riding a bike, which does not add to one'...
November 28, 2022 at 22:38
Yes. I'd recommend tertiary sources rather than PI or the Tractatus.
November 28, 2022 at 22:26
Indeed, but whenever I've tried to make sense of it, it seems to fall in pieces. I remain unsure if it's what is being said or how it is being said th...
November 28, 2022 at 22:09
Are you so sure you know how I privately suppose it to be public? How could you? Ok,
