I see you are puzzled. It's what the puzzlement is about that puzzles me. SO you are re-classifying disquotation as not a deflationary theory. Fine. O...

No. I don't know how to be more specific. T-sentences can be used to define truth, or meaning, but preferably not both in the same argument. Yes, I am...

Ah, thanks. A shame. I much enjoyed our disagreement.

Whatever. You appear to be returning to point that have already been addressed rather than progressing the discussion. You moved back from what is tru...

Sure. The question then is why one's organs are relevant in deciding which football team one is on.

That you don't know that it is true does not make it not true... So you have beliefs you think are not true?

So you should not be force or coercion not to play against the under 10's.

We care about beliefs because they are the things we take to be true.

Well, good for you. So we agree competition has limits. There's a start.

But you claimed that one cannot associate a truth value with a proposition unless there is a relationship between the saying and seeing/imagining... a...

Topic slide again. Truth is not belief - already covered: Further, one chooses between a realist and an antirealist grammar. The best grammar for cats...

It's true (or false) regardless of being seen or imagined.

@"NOS4A2"'s approach seems out of character. I'd have thought he would favour a Laissez faire free-for-all where anyone can play against anyone else, ...

realpolitik will prevail, of course. I anticipate sports organisations dithering between the reactionary and progressive approaches until some level i...

The cat isn't on the mat if someone pictures it to be on the mat. It is on the mat if it is on the mat.

Sport perhaps has a pretence that it groups folk of equal capacity and rewards those amongst each group on the basis of prowess. The myth here is that...

, ... And so the correspondence theory intersperses a "picture", a conceptual scheme, between the cat being on the mat and the cat being on the mat...

Cheers, Nos. Folk can go back and check for themselves.

But it captured the essence of your argument.

And what is that association? Here's my answer: that the cat is on the mat is a use of the sentence "the cat is on the mat". We have, not an associati...

Just to emphasis that your argument is consistent. A woman is a female and a female is a woman. Well done.

No, he won't. That would require rationality.

That the cat is on the mat is a fact, not a sentence. "The cat is on the mat" is a sentence. The thing on the right is a fact. And the whole is true. ...

Sure. Sure, on that account the meaningfulness of truth-bearers has nothing to do with truth. As I have said several times, T-sentences allow us to ei...

That's a very general law, and sufficient to action. What I find odd is the specificity. Oh, well. Different strokes.

So where's @"Wayfarer"?

You needed a law for that?

Just that.

You don't like it, bugger off. (there I got this in before the mods closed this thread.)

Your feigned moral outrage on behalf of the multitude of CIS women being "smashed" by the army of men pretending to be women is laughable. This, too, ...

My apologies. I was uncritically following .

These things were pretty reliably categorised according to biological sex. Now that's not such a good proxy. So why not base the categorisation on wha...

Balls. The stuff between your legs doesn't make you run faster or kick better. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Tayla_Harris_kick_2...

You are missing the point. Sex is only a proxy for innate ability. That's what has caused the problem. Drop sex and find a way to measure innate abili...

The point being it's not precise at all. Otherwise this thread would not be here. The premiss that sex has dictates prowess has been shown wanting. To...

Seems to me that the problem stems from sport using the wrong criteria to group athletes. It's a congenital problem with the notion of "fair" competit...

I am not sure I follow 6.3. Do you agree, or am I missing something? We have that substantial accounts of truth - I'm understanding this as at least c...

Hmmm. Who watches the MCU? Race, sex, and the role of on-screen diversity Seems the largest demographic is progressive non-white men. Statistically qu...

Eloquent truths. I hear that the divide between Democrats and Republicans can be seen in things such as how far one is form a public park and which co...

They're pretty sad narratives. The protagonists hit each other until one side can't.

As do we all. But what counts as a simple depends on what one is doing.

Sure.

Well, I'm glad for you, despite still not grasping what it is you were asking...:wink: T-sentences allow us to either assume meaning and explain true,...

Indeed. Because once you admit contradictions, as you have done, rationality ceases. I am pointing out your petard.

Turns out his story wasn't finished. He didn't trust his own ministers. Scott Morrison gave two reasons for secretly taking on five ministerial roles....

But if you were god, and god can contradict himself, you could make it so that you don't believe that there are true contradictions, and yet that ther...

But you could be god and will that the idea of your being god contains a contradiction. So if you are god, then an argument showing that you are not g...

So either you are god, or you are not god. If you are not god, we don't need to show a contradiction in order to show that you are not god. If you are...

And your task is to discount the possibility that you are god? To show via some argument that you are not god?
