Banno

Well, I gotta admit, I was sceptical. But with an argument like that, what more is there to say? I'm convinced.

So... Banno is assertive, hence what he says is false. But Possibility is not assertive, so what he says is true. :broken:

And so...those are things we thought we knew. It turned out that we were wrong; that is, althogh we thoght we knew them, we didn't actually know them....

OK, we might leave it there. Because I've got no idea what this is.

Yep, Wiki agrees with Sam, then adds a bit of ambiguity. Nagel rather misfired, it seems to me. Rather than "a view from nowhere" I'd phrase it as "a ...

Yes, I can see that. The point being that you are taking the term and using it in a new way... Whoa. That's easy, then. SO here's a game were we take ...

SO we sometimes disagree as to the facts. Sure do. That's a very different observation to the stuff set out in the OP. Much less of the dramatic metap...

By imagining a thing that you call "The Good" you closed off the interesting line of thought here. Reification does that. It'll come out as something ...

But that's just not right. Or better, the word "absolutely" sits there making a perfectly normal sentence into a bit of metaphysical nonsense. "We nev...

Why does there have to be a why? It ends here.

X. End of regress.

Then it's what I'd call shown, rather than said.

The Enz are from across the ditch. (New Zealand)

It's Henry Lawson.

That's the issue with bullshit products - @"Hanover". thanks for helping articulate it.

Why do coronavirus sceptics and deniers continue to downplay the disease?

Bullshit products - of which there are plenty - are a seperate item to bullshit jobs. The anaysis mught be parallel, in the same way as Bullshit state...

yep.

OK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoYWsQ--uRo

Phhhht. A term invented by people who don't like being told about their prejudices.

Actually, I mean lack of contradiction.

Yep. The question becomes how one responds. I was once given the job of producing a standardised report format for a large organisation - thousands of...

It's not about products. Looks to me as if you have missed the point of the OP article entirely.

Seems as the argument in the article was a bit lost on some. Keynes was right, the number of hours needed to produce the stuff we need has been reduce...

I'd go with this. But see Economics of a four-day working week: research shows it can save businesses money

Sweet. Hope it works out.

If there is, what is it?

Is there a question here? Or is it a puzzling about "this one", "that one", or "John", overcome as the child learns how those words are used?

Yeah. But such decisions are not made rationally.

Ah. Well, that's an end to that, then.

So... what is it rational to want? Do I smell Kant?

You think that deserves a reply?

Fair point. So what?

Me? Or Graeber?

As if you could have an intent that was not an intent to do such-and-such.

You think that a good model of human action? More often we act without forethought. And even in the presence of forethought it is rare that our plans ...

What is it that you are calling "reason"? It's an odd term, conflating the noun and the mass noun; The reason given for an action is a self-serving ba...

...is praise indeed!

Well, reasoning requires language, and hence the other. Reasoning purely de se therefore involves a contradiction... This seems to me the common error...

Curiously, Max Black is also an adult entertainment store in Newtown, New South Wales.

So information has two enemies: order and disinformation. In short, information is the opposite of Fascism. Sounds about right.

The myth is that Shannon did for information what Newton did for gravitation - made it all neat and mathematically predictable. That does not quite re...

I've yet to see a coherent analysis of free will. SO for instance the one given in this OP begs the question.

Bringing stuff together... https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/408210

Bringing together this thread and '1' does not refer to anything... Wittgenstein never openly came to terms with Gödel, let alone Turing. But there se...

Oh, very droll.

I agree, that there is a recognition of the flexibility of language in the PI Wittgenstein. That fed into philosophy more generally; so for instance D...
