...I've no clear idea what to do with this. While superficially addressing my criticism, it instead goes off in a new direction. Again, why not suppos...

... so here: . A misguided presumption. Why not think instead that the supposed first person vantage is a construct of the public narrative...? A hang...

@"universeness", a valiant effort indeed, but sometimes the best thing on can do is to laugh and walk away.

Let A be New York and B be London. Both are cities of over a million folk. So what is true of A is true of B. Shoes exits, but are not true. Sentences...

"The experience of riding a bike is/adds to one's knowledge of how to ride a bike." No, it doesn't. The experience neither adds to, nor is, one's know...

Oh, doubtless, but was it also Wittgenstein's' Wittgenstein? I didn't just make this up, and although my thesis remains incomplete and unpublished, it...

Here's the rub; Wittgenstein is an analytic philosopher. Hence there is a contradiction in your account. ...and do. Why indeterminate? Unstated, exper...

, Pretty much. Talking here about narratives, or propositional models, not neural nets. But that doesn't mean it doesn't apply to neural nets...

Well, not so sure about that. Ethics is the doing, not the saying, sure; but what is added by the oddly intractable predication of "transcendental"? N...

If someone does not accept logic, then it is not possible to convince them by rational discussion. So i guess that ends that discussion.

But to demonstrate that some things are ineffable, you would have to conclude not "there is always more that can be said" but "there are some things t...

This is much the same failure on your part that underpins your inability to grasp instantaneous velocity, limits, and such. I and others have tried to...

, logic generally deals in what is true and what is false, not what is believed or disbelieve. That’s partially because folk often believe things that...

Cheers, Meta. The more that can be said, by that very fact, can be said, and hence is not ineffable.

Perhaps. It doesn't follow that all such cases are cases of the use of indexicals.

You are almost there. You almost grasped the circularity of defining red as the sensation of red.

What I'm suggesting is that the duck-rabbit is resolved in that we can talk of it being either a duck or a rabbit; we are not limited to one descripti...

Sure. It's in the parsing. Kaplan has a subtle system for dealing with them. Are you thinking of treating "present king of France" as an indexical? It...

A and not A are inconsistent. One point of logic is to determine what can be concluded from given premises. But we know from basic logic that a contra...

Same as between ( p v q v r) and ( p v q v r v...); it remains open. The point about family resemblance is that new members who do not conform can be ...

Indeed; from not A implies B, we can validly conclude that not A implies B. So if it's not true, that means it's false, but it might be true if it's n...

Search "Law of excluded middle". But consider "The present king of France is bald". There isn't a present king of France. Is "The present king of Fran...

"Double the ordinal" and "add two to the previous number" both give {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}. But so do "The sum of n and the reverse of its digit", and "The ...

:confused: Whatever.

Well, Gödel seems to think it makes the narrative behave oddly. You get to choose consistency or completeness, but not both. There will either be a co...

Toothpaste? What's that then?

Feeling grumpy today, eh. Fine. What was it you wished rebutted?

Wear'd you find my old runners? Threw them out last month.

Two musings here. The first is that such an "ultimate" narrative can be either consistent or complete, but not both. Hence it seems pretty unlikely th...

Trite. Can you locate a similar survey in some other discipline, and so demonstrate that there is no similar bifurcation? Again, and as acknowledged b...

Report into former prime minister Scott Morrison's secret ministries released '"corrosive" to trust in government'...

What is it that you suppose is named here?

Why should that be a surprise. Any topic on which there is general agreement would not be interesting enough to include in the survey.

Of course, having never said "yea".

...with which you still play. Bloody Huge Grant. So fucking nice.

The attempted justification is that we agreed to use "red" for red; but we didn't get nay such choice.

Like your mountain?

There can be purpose, utility, in remaining in the trap.

But you enjoy commenting on the dance. You are here, after all.

Doubtless it could be, for some. But for most, it leads to petrification, often in the form of religious or philosophical dogmatism. Transcendence is ...

This is much the same argument as is commonly used against those who suppose that we follow a social contract in our dealings with others. Kate Bush f...

That's not a weakness - the dance is the very reason for the thread. One comes to see the dance as without a purpose beyond amusement. A parlour game....

Which proves beyond a shadow of doubt that the perception of red is ineffable. ...you really aren't very good at this.

In that we can agree, but my posts seem to be doing much better than yours. For a start, my insults are funnier.

You seem to have a sort of love-hate relationship with Wittgenstein, which is a very healthy attitude to adopt. But you seem to have not read much bey...

If you prefer. The philosophical issue at hand here is that there are folk who understand "red" as the public name of a private sensation. There are m...

One might do worse than not to add to the net total of confusion hereabouts.
