There's a dynamic to the wasabi heat, it develops on exposure to air, so the leaves have a lettuce-like taste to start with and then the heat develops...

So Russell is suggesting that we might take the lesson of her formal approach and apply it back to natural languages. So in Definition 27 she defines ...

If you like. I prefer sourdough, but you can choose for yourself.

No. Not with ham. Save that for the corned beef.
November 18, 2025 at 00:12
No one commented on my ham sandwich: :sad:

Banno read both Hume and Kant, then read a bit more. Yet neither Hume nor Kant would agree with you. If I am but a figment of your imagination, then w...

...conflates reality and private mental states. The very fact that you are posting on this forum shows that you do not agree with this. Moreover, that...

I'm still biting my tongue.
November 17, 2025 at 22:01
That doesn't seem to me to be addressing Fitch, nor antirealism, which is the epistemic position that if something is true, then it is knowable. You u...
November 17, 2025 at 22:00
So our arguments are agreeable? I hope so.
November 17, 2025 at 21:02
This is all part of the interplay between formal and natural languages, in which each is used to shed light on the other. Russell continues this with ...
November 16, 2025 at 23:43
That's not the issue.
November 16, 2025 at 22:55
What this shows is that being true and being known are not the same. That this is resisted hereabouts is a bit sad.
November 16, 2025 at 22:28
The argument is not tensed. It is not based on "Not known now, but could be known later." It begins with Up(p??Kp), which is not temporally dependent....
November 16, 2025 at 22:10
And therefore you know everything that is true. Righto.
November 16, 2025 at 21:52
Metempsychosis?
November 16, 2025 at 09:13
Not seeing how that helps you. Have another look at Fitch.

@"180 Proof" will be very happy! , The Oldies have been there before - My count was over twenty thousand in the previous incarnation.

Thanks for the vote of confidence... I post at just under 250/month, apparently. Looks like I'm on target. You should be able to get to 7.3...
November 16, 2025 at 08:13
So I'm at 29.1k comments. I have a challenge: to get over the 30k before the forum is frozen...
November 16, 2025 at 07:24
I see your "bothered to read" and raise you Fitch's paradox of knowability. So yes, you did say something of that kind. Anti-realism says: every truth...
November 16, 2025 at 07:09
Nice. Thanks for the heads up, and the forward planning. Very much appreciated.
November 16, 2025 at 06:46
so you know everything there is to know. Ok. Here we go again.
November 16, 2025 at 02:36
Yes, there are things we don't know. That is, there are true statements of which we do not have any knowledge. The person that realism should bother m...

Coleman's mustard appears to be just that - mustard seed. S&B Oriental Mustard apparently contains horse radish. If heat is the goal, then wasabi is I...

Identities between Names In the discussion of tense fragility, the definition of stuff that was fragile and stuff that was past was the same. The diff...

Were you to treat the paper seriously, you would have a much more interesting thread.
November 15, 2025 at 23:13
Yes, yet through all that, my initial comments stand. Reality is what there is, hence to posit something "beyond reality" is to posit more of what the...
November 15, 2025 at 23:11
We can be more specific. We can't assess physical theories without doing the maths. And there is no maths here.
November 15, 2025 at 22:04
Let's be clear: I'm pointing out that the OP isa a word game. And "No".
November 15, 2025 at 21:51
Nuh. Olives are good.
November 15, 2025 at 12:39
Yeah it is - it's an extension of GR to another universe. I'll leave you to it. :roll:
November 15, 2025 at 02:00
In GR time begins at the singularity and the question of a time before the singularity is without a sense. Outside of GR, anything goes, so again the ...
November 15, 2025 at 01:34
There's no such time. Time came into existence along with the universe; the Big Bang is not an event in time but a boundary of time. This sort of spec...

So Pauline Hanson is now setting Liberal Party policy. This should work out well, with the conservative vote split between One Nation, the Nationals, ...

An analogy. Any integer can be named in a finite number of words. Yet a list of all the integers is not finite. Analogicaly, perhaps anything true can...
November 14, 2025 at 21:28
Indeed - notice that my objection is to the way the issue is phrased. As "there is stuff beyond our reality" when it should be "there is stuff that is...

Ah, you've bought in to @"Leontiskos"' theory of the Philosophy Forum "Deep state". Just the sort of thing one expects from engineers: But I just got ...

Meehhh not so sure that's me. I'll leave you to it. the article needs a deeper dive than is provided here.

The big bang is as an explanation for, and from, what we see around us; the very opposite of what you are suggesting.
November 14, 2025 at 09:38
Seriously, ...is hackneyed. And so the sort of tried and tested response one might expect from an engineer.
November 14, 2025 at 09:34
...and this and the rest is comprehensible - since you are here comprehending it. What? Why would you suppose that? Do you think the big bang is beyon...

So should the philosophy graduates all go over to https://www.eng-tips.com and tell them how to build bridges?

glad to see you differentiate between economics and reality.
