Well, all you are saying is that the word "water" could be used to refer to other things besides water - sure, i could name my goldfish "water". But w...
Interesting, but not something with which I am familiar. Cheers - might look into it sometime. That water can refer to something else doesn't seem rel...
Well, no; they are two different references to the same sort of thing. It's important to express such things well, so that confusion does not follow. ...
Others have noticed that the vast landscapes of human history, experience and culture provides unexpected perspectives, differing connotations, and - ...
Good for you. Thing is, the SEP stuff I shared shows that philosophy is far broader than you would allow. All you have done is stipulate that "philoso...
Take a look at the Stanford entry. It presents a history of the movement from materialism - the mechanical model of, say, Descartes - to action at a d...
Hmmm. Excuse my error, then. One might do well to keep in mind that Meta rejects the notion of instantaneous velocity. That's in the middle of a discu...
Again, you use the word "imagine"; I'm not at all sure what it is doing. I think I can "picture" zero dimensions - it's the point of origin of a carte...
You've misunderstood. But that's what you do. General Relativity is about curved space-time, but you treat that as if it were an ad hoc hypothesis add...
Hmmmm. So now you are saying that those rules for language, the ones it doesn't have, also vary from one language to another. You started by claiming ...
They are correct for any observer. The laws of physics dictate the speed of light. Hence, if the laws of physics are the same for all observers, then ...
Maybe. Seems far more likely that you haven't quite grasped relativistic physics. The assumption is that he laws of physics are the same for every obs...
Small beer was the common drink - in the place of water - for centuries because it did not cause dysentery. Small beer is beer. Your recipe for beer a...
That's much as I have argued elsewhere. But you invoked Kant: ...incidentally summoning @"Mww". Now these two views look incompatible to me. On the on...
You made the claim, after Kant, that space does not have properties. General Relativity treats space as having the properties - being curved to calcul...
Well, the point was roughly that SEP is a bit of a paragon of philosophical thought, yet it includes various articles specifically about non-Western p...
Well, let's take a look at SEP: Comparative Philosophy: Chinese and Western Science and Chinese Philosophy African Ethics Latinx Philosophy Latin Amer...
Yeah, not so much. The thing about illusions - the bit that makes them an illusion - is quite specifically that they are not real. So no, they are not...
Indeed; and the point is that in fact you can only get hit by the real truck... Think on it a bit*. Really? (Pun intended...) Of course it is zero - t...
Indeed, all very well-covered territory, the stuff of neo-phyte wet dreams... (see what I did there??) Tell me, given the choice betwixt the illusion ...
There are gluten-fee beers. They do not contain barley. Do you know how to ride a bike? How do reason, belief, ground, and argument fit here? But more...
Why? Two points - it's not clear what it means to claim time exists, or does not exist. Could you mean that it doesn't exist in the way unicorns don't...
...imagine... It's unclear to me what imagination has to do with dimensions. The dimensionality of an object is, roughly, the number of coordinates ne...
