Reality does not care what your consensus is.

Generally speaking, it seems to me that introducing subjective and objective serves to hide more than it reveals.

Well, indeed. If someone were to suppose that what is true is what is believed by the majority, I'm sure you and I would agree that they have not unde...

That seems to be wrong, too, as a general rule. WE do after all make incorrect conclusions from the available evidence. What I want to emphasis here i...

That's alright. We have @"Echarmion".

That's an odd thing to say. There is a thread that I see, you see, Coben sees, Now it can't just be in your head, since both Coben and I also see it. ...

It seems we are in a philosophical somewhat tedious state of agreement...

Not too sure what you are doing here. Is it that the more "perceived potential information of a subject" there is, the better our definition of "true"...

Hmm. Well, some statements do sort of glow green. I'm thinking of Moore's "Here is a hand"; statements which it makes little sense to doubt. And hereb...

One might suppose so. The confusion, which we have apparently avoided, is to think that it is the consensus that makes some utterance true. Of course ...

It's good that you draw attention to this. Overwhelmingly, folk share the same beliefs. We just tend to spend more time on the stuff about which we di...

But truth and belief are quite different things. Believing something does not, except in specific circumstances, render it true; nor does a thing's be...

SO you are saying something like that the more "perceived potential information of a subject" there is, the more true it is? That's a big claim. Perha...

Again, it's not the consensus that leads to a statement's being true, though, is it? Although it might lead to our believing it to be true.

Now that seems a bit odd. You and I agree that this thread is in English, I presume; and we do this as a result of having read the thread - that is, a...

...which seems to me to be saying no more than that if several folk agree on something, then they agree on something. Surely this does not apply to kn...

What? SO your claim is now that knowledge relies on consensus, but that consensus does not imply knowledge? You are not claiming that consensus implie...

If scattering were responsible then the observed emission and absorption lines would not have move. They have, so it ain't.

Well, presumably he doesn't - there are, after all, only perceptions-of-replies, subjective stuff, not objective at all.

see, Pneumenon, not only do you not see with your eyes, you don't actually have a computer. AH, but see, you do.

Objective and subjective work well when we talk about regular stuff like it being an objective truth that this sentence was written by me but a subjec...

Just the thing. Well quoted.

Your mind is always, already, and forever coloured. SO what you gonna do? Just keep buggering on, to quote Churchill.

So long as you do not take this to mean that you cannot predict anything.

It's odd, how folk divide the world into subjective and objective, only to immediately demand that one is a mere subset of the other. As if subjectivi...

There's a few tricky words in that sentence, apt to mislead: idea, objective, assert... After all, we can, and do, make true assertions. So reconsider...

A few elementary points. One can drop with word "objective" without loss: "What is the way to know if we have reached a truth" There is no reason to t...

There's a philosophical game that says it does. That game relies on using "perception" in a particular way. You and I both perceive this post; we perc...

Yep. Live with it.

Well, no, it isn't. Each of the observtions is also true.

Do you think that the fellow who touched the trunk did not speak truly? Of course he spoke the truth.

As if the elephant had no parts. There's a switch that's taken place here, a move from the sort of truth that can be objective or subjective has been ...

Why? What makes feeling like that irrational?

You claim that objective truths can only be subjectively known; yet you and I both know that this sentence is in English. So, how is it that, that the...

Hm. I'm not convinced of the relevance of this. I can understand what it is like to see something from another perspective. As we sit facing each othe...

Might there be something wrong with this question?

The odd thing is that there are things that remain the case, regardless of what one thinks about them. That is, their truth remains, regardless of one...

What do you want? Yes, around here the wisdom is in short supply.

So saying is a complicated way of showing. Hence, all saying is showing.

Does it differ significantly from fig 1? I can't see how.
