Banno

If those funds buy social services instead of riot shields, that's not a bad thing at all. From what I can understand, the US seems to be well behind ...

I've no problem with that, nor does the majority of US voters... so that's not extreme. Not unreasonable, given the difference between deaths of unarm...

You made the following claim: Can you justify this with some evidence? It's important that you back up your claim, because it would give me an indicat...

Shit, I hate it when folk refuse to back up their claims. I am familiar with the group. Just not with your claims about them. I went to the nominal we...

I can't see anything about this - Link? In what way were they anti - do they want to ban them or what? Marxist-trained - they went to University? If y...

What's BLM's agenda?

What path is that?

Perhaps I'm in a good mood. OR that's what I want them to be.

Which country? Over here, Labour Party - Left. Liberal Party - Right. The Liberals are a centre, liberal economic party that is distorted by a small n...

Without specifics, nothing has been said here.

There's a possible explanation in Conservative syndrome... see Conservatism and cognitive ability Of course, it doesn’t mean all conservatives are stu...

You say that like it was a bad thing...? (Yes, I know Bret has joined the ranks of the Dear Departed. Still counts.)

Oh, I didn't mean to suggest you did: it was I, following @"Kenosha Kid". That's not what I have found. Rather folk twist science to fit their own nee...

The person indicted may well be he whom your present interlocutor habitual refers to with the perpendicular pronoun. I made the same suggestion elsewh...

Hm. You appeared to disagree with @"Isaac" when he asked again for @"counterpunch" to provide justification... Counterpunch is factually wrong on seve...

Ah, but do they realise this? I'm being facetious, of course; but it is not unreasonable to expect some new members over these interesting times.

That's a very good example of how, despite biases introduced by large, powerful vested interests, the truth will out. Despite investment and collusion...

My question is, why are so few headed here? This is obviously the best forum for such discussion...

...do we have an attempted insurgency of ex- Parler enthusiasts?

But factually wrong.

Yep. The Two Autopsies Of George Floyd Aren’t As Different As They Seem The conversation is about @"counterpunch" refusing to acknowledge reality. All...

It puzzles me that folk who have at least passing familiarity with ethics can make such obvious mistakes as to think that what is the case is what oug...

Meaning isn't out in the world somewhere waiting to be found. It is stuff you make up, it is what you decide to do. So it should not be a surprise tha...

I'm not sure what's going one here. I've been at some pains not to use the word "meaning" except as a generic term, and certainly not as the thing the...

I don't think so.

Ok. "engagements..."; "target..."? ...had me puzzled.

Convolute. The mouse ran up the tree. The cat did not look up the tree, but behind it, and then around the base, not having seen the mouse run up the ...

Where's that from? What's it mean?

...forever unfinished.

This is an excellent account. I'd just add that each step of the process can be put into the form "Constance believes P" where P is some proposition.

I'm sure the "Icelandic" will be sending you a cheque for you excellent suggestion that they use pipes.

...the Lord bless and keep them.

I'm going to repeat this; a general question - do you foresee an inundation of ex-Parler pundits? Should we gird our loins? Perhaps not an inundation ...

Good topic. My choice might be size. Small is Beautiful.

Then you did well.

Interesting. I don't disagree. What a painting shows may not be anything like what was intended. Consider: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb...

I concur. There is little in this thread that is relevant to the private language argument. It's about something else. A bastardised version, seen thr...

Damn it's hard when I agree with you.

Yeah, sure, there are other ways of using the words say, talk, show and so on. That does nothing to diminish or blur the distinction at hand. I will n...

Redacted - This guy's a nut.

Oh - psychoceramics. I should have spotted it earlier. Is this a direct consequence of the closure of Parler? Can we expect more visitors as they look...

What do you mean"no"? Demonstrably, we can create fusion here on Earth. Do you deny that? Saying we cannot create fusion on Earth because the planet's...

...whereas I, following Wittgenstein, make a distinction based on the way we follow a rule. Consider how someone might demonstrate to you that they un...

That comment reinforced my scepticism. Demonstrably, recreating solar plasma density on earth is possible.

No; What is said is use. As does any Good Scott; although I take your point, good art is simply art that shows something...

No... I ignored that locution; I thought it odd. Art has a use, it does not show a use... Sometimes the art shows something. Rarely is what it shows s...

I don't disagree with that. So your complaint is not clear to me.

...content... To me, that's too close to referent, to there being something that the sentence must be about, to reified meaning. The use of a poem is ...

I don't see that. The thing about showing is that it is not saying... Isn't your complaint just that I do not say enough about that of which we cannot...

Oh, yeah, all that. Except "The content of what is said is what it shows" - "content" is wrong, as shown in PI - use replaces content. All Creative ha...
