The Reserve Bank has published a study confirming that growing concentration in the Australian economy has contributed to poorer productivity growth a...
Well, if you can't see the circularity in setting out the essence of cats in terms of catness, and catness in terms of what it is to be a cat, and wha...
Ok. Somewhat parochial, but perhaps an astute move given the defunding of science in your nation. I'm sure Europe's and China's various anthropologica...
I doubt it - but particular anthropologists might. I don't much mind what they call themselves so long as their methods are open, critical and at leas...
Think on this a bit, if you will. It carried the very point Wittgenstein and others have made against essences. You choose to ignore the fact that we ...
Played. Before the talks, Trump told Fox 'I won't be happy if I walk away without some form of a ceasefire' After the talks, 'No deal until there's a ...
Spicy Peanut Tofu Bowls See the bit about How To Make Tofu Crispy. Trouble is, there's not really such a thing as The scientific method, if by that is...
Folk who don't like tofu are usually doing it wrong. It takes on the flavour of the other ingredients, so is mostly there for texture and protein; it ...
Oh no! Go by some halloumi right now and fry it up - hot pan, olive oil, just enough to brown it on both sides. Serve on toast with salad - roast caps...
Good ideas. ...there are a few recipes on line that look fine. But if you want a vegetarian kebab, why not use paneer or even halloumi? Built in fat. ...
You'd think. But we have a couple of folk who insist on using syllogistic logic together with essentialism, in order to defend a particular theologica...
Oh, I am a tofu regular, but use it in stir fry's and soups, with lots of fresh veggies, especially capsicum. I even have a tofu press. But the point ...
To be sure, anomalous Monism remains an area of great interest and ongoing development. Just look at the list of supplements to the SEP article on tha...
UN warns 88 percent of Turkey at high risk of desertification amid growing water crisis Not conducive to fattening the lamb. Assuming that 's kebab wa...
No, it isn't. An individual is not a kind. All this shows is ~(Israel = Palestine). They are not identical, and so substitution fails. That there is s...
But it seems you can never quite say what "catness" is. Catness is that which is had by a cat, such that it is a cat and not some other thing. As if t...
Yep. The schema says that if we have a true formula containing an individual variable a, and if we have a=b, then we can replace a in with b, and the ...
Oh, Tim. Referential opacity is to do with individuals, not natural kinds. In first-order logic a,b,c... are variables picking out individuals. Identi...
Ok, so had to check that wasn't catching me up. post rates. The number of comments divided by the number of days since first post. I score 7.99 posts ...
We both have occipital lobes, I assume, however the neuronal connections in your occipital lobe are vastly different to mine. So we both report that s...
Sure, but they are wrong. So what's "unhelpful and lazy" might be allowing them to go ahead unopposed, or allowing their wrong ideas to decide what we...
This response to this thread stands: We'll continue to use "colour" as we long have, regardless of peculiar and idiosyncratic stipulations of those on...
What contradiction? Leon seems to think that no relation can be between a thing and itself. But seven is less than or equal to seven, and your phone i...
I'm still not following you. He certainly thinks there are physical causes - laws, if you like. You'd have to explain how what he calls a mental even ...
