Black-pill is one step on the way back to reality.

Natural deduction systems do not use axioms.

Yawn. Accepting the things yo cannot change is not unreasonable.

That's been explained to you repeatedly: performative utterances. No. Some of them make something the case. But that is apparently beyond your compreh...

:wink:

Here's a funny argument: We sometimes see things incorrectly; therefore we never see them correctly. It's obviously invalid. And yet, with a few bells...

Ok. I was misled by your '...every axiological claim is of necessity "bullshit"'; so meant ' every axiological claim in humanistic judaism is of neces...

Or not. Your post in the context of this thread is about the consequences of gods being brought into existence as a result of belief, in some way not ...

The fact that they exist is not subject to logic? Again, how does that play out? The fact that my cat exists is beyond logic, too... No proof ends wit...

Then god is an egg riding a bicycle made of flatus. Anything goes.

The they have no place in any of our conversations. Frankly, if they are not subject to logic, anything follows, and you can claim what ever you like....

Logically absurd.

It means we construct useful categories, nothing more.

Stay away from the dark side, Tom.

But if our belief is what brings money into existence - it isn't, as i already explained - it's our intent - but going with your wording, if our belie...

There certainly is. It's unclear what this means. It sounds a bit like direction of fit, but at the least needs some clarification.

Well, there's far more going on than one might put into a single post, but notice that "every axiological claim is bullshit" does not follow directly ...

There's more to it than that. If you alone believe that certain pieces of paper are money, then you will never be able to use them as such. What is re...

So show me that I am wrong. Why, how, are we Why shouldn't the state and Can you present an argument? Or are we to rely on wishful thinking?

And that is why your posts are of so little value. Look at the name of the thread.

The point being it is read this way. See the OP. It's not the scholars that are the problem.

And yet there it is in the OP. I'll leave you to work on by yourself. I've no idea what your donkey likes.

IS that the best folk can do in the face of autocracy? Quoting American mythology? ...and yet time and again it is read as encourage the aristocratic ...

What? That doesn't follow.

Why not accept the reality and then attempt to make things better? Yep.

Suck it up, sunshine. You've recognised the nature of your existence. Welcome to adulthood. Get over it and keep buggering on. On the way, you might m...

No.

lhe Identification of Eucalypts There are almost a thousand recognised species of Eucalypts. While some few are readily identified, there are innumera...

Seconded.

Perhaps. However, for this thread, the contentious term is belief. So change language to belief.

So he knows Scotty, then... Thanks. Take a look at The real wages vs productivity gap And that's AICD. The Liberals are well out of step with their ow...

Money is an artefact in the way any tool is an artefact, something made by people. What distinguishes it from stone tools and screwdrivers is that it ...

Sure, here's your topic... The Anscombe article shows that they are quite distinct things. Ah, Ok, so to the deeper issue. Isn't this a bit like tryin...

...but posted it anyway. Now it seems to me to set out in section (I) the "genealogy" of the error of equating cause and logical necessity, then in se...

Kudos, especially for drawing attention to wider applications of the principles discussed. The tendency is to only consider examples from physics, dou...

Hands up – who actually read Anscombe's article?

The wave flushed over me and yet I succeed. No contradiction in the negation, and hence not a necessary proposition.

Not just any idea will do; and intersubjectivity serves to hide what is going on here by dragging it into the mire of subject/object... Pseudo-intelle...

:lol: :smirk:

These are not necessary truths. There are possible worlds in which the quantity of matter changes, in which action and reaction are not opposites.

But will you actually start to read? The term "intersubjective" was first needed when Husserl had to backtrack after his exploration of subjectivity r...

Sure, giving reasons for reasons is superfluous; reason is what we live in... What I've said does not stand against that. I don't see why you raised i...

Well, that's a better post than your last. It remains a critique of naturalism, though, and only obliquely relevant to the topic here.

Oh, probably. But it is not as if he could reduce mathematics to physics! Whereas I would rather play with the actual arguments. A difference in style...

Hmm. Stuck in Kant again, aren't we. Recall Quine’s Alternative? perhaps has something like that in mind. But for my part, the answer to is that it is...

Differing languages have different grammars? Or did you mean semantics? Different languages tend to agree as to the hardness of rocks and such like. S...

So long as you keep this in the plural, yes. Language functions within a community. It's usually called collective intentionality, not enactivation.

Language enacts realities. Our social institutions have language as their basis. I've been unable to follow your point here.

And yet we use words without being able to provide suitable definitions. Consider that a child does not learn to use a word by being told its definiti...

Indeed, that is how we do things with words. They are not only descriptions.
