A crap film. It's a performative contradiction. Ah! There's the proof! He denies it again! Even if - and I want to make this perfectly clear - even if...
Fried eggs, therefore, are a leap of faith. Cool. So the true reality is that true reality is unknown... No. I'm pointing out your part in the conspir...
That's quite incoherent. I can judge that the chooks have laid an egg by their chortles. Therefor the villainous deed in which you are complicit start...
SO you didn't follow the argument? Your OP is a signal to nefarious actors to institute their plans. We know this, despite your denials and protests. ...
Something has gone astray here, in. that if this were so, it's not just that we have never said anything, but that the very notion of saying something...
A man is working a hand pump. A simple physical description. What is his intent? Is it to replenish the water supply? Is he exercising? Is it to mix t...
Yep, that's what I was getting at before. We might use Austin's terminology. The AI at least presents us with a locution - a sequence of words in some...
No. They are, as you say, operators. If you think "^" a symmetrical expansion of identity, "=", show how. You can't, because they are very different t...
, , cheers to you both - I would that it were so, too, but it ain't, and so here we are. Perhaps we might best keep that part of the discussion in 's ...
I was struck by this: So the AI is saying that it is not an interlocutor... Is that a performative contradiction? If it's not an interlocutor, then no...
Then I succeeded. I hope you don't mind my starting a new thread rather than adding to your already existing one. I think the topic sufficiently disti...
For those of you who are having trouble articulating a good counter-argument, here's what ChatGPT said when I prompted it with the OP, prefixed with "...
You seem to want to capture something poetic in formal logic. Trouble is that formal logic has very fixed rules. There is poetry in formal logic, for ...
There are a few logic courses around. The Stanford one is pretty good, but clunky in its presentation. Language, proof and Logic at EdX also looked go...
Ok, but again, the relationship is true - but does it define truth? I asked ChatGPT to pull out the argument in your post, and it offered: Condensed A...
Sure. it might help us identify some good on line stuff if you list your interests. I highly commend the EdX philosophy and critical thinking course. ...
Perhaps you would benefit from a reading of some of the literature on intentionality. Anscombe, maybe. "Jack turned on the light" is neither selfish n...
Does this say more than that a=a is true? That doesn't tell us what truth is. Clever words can trick one into thinking that what one is saying is prof...
Welcome. Sounds like you want to move from reading philosophy to doing philosophy. It might seem that a forum such as this would be ideal, but while i...
Here's a paper that directly links a particular project to the damage it will cause: Quantifying the regional to global climate impacts of individual ...
Not so uninteresting as some. So sure, take Maxwell's equations and apply gauge symmetry, and "the answer just jumps out"; but don't then claim that t...
Well, yes, but in so far as we are concerned with what we believe - what we hold to be the case - we are in an anthropocentric position. And do you th...
Nice. We have to take care here with what we do, though. Hume was looking for a justification for the move from specific instances to general rules. I...
Yes, I suppose so. So how to proceed. I suspect that, as with most of these sorts of problems, it's as much about the choice of wording as the way thi...
So you have a brain. The mess gets bigger. Then, a universe, to blur your vision. So are we happy now that there is more than is "inside your head"? C...
Sure. But not made by your head. Then there is error. If everything is in your mind, how can you make sense of being mistaken? You are mistaken when w...
