Beyond criticism? That might be the problem, right there.

Hm. Seeing the US constitution as an ethical document strikes me as profoundly misguided; an example of Mythologising; "The tale is finished; it canno...

Seeing is believing.... But seeing is not proof?

Other systems of democracy are more ad hoc. History smashed and remoulded them, giving the opportunity to tinker in the process. But the Constitution ...

The epistemology of visual thinking in art?

That intellectual virus "First we must define our terms" infects this thread. No, you don't need to find the basis for modern science in order to do s...

What gives, as with so many of your posts, is your inability to understand maths.

The founding fathers... long mythologised... could not bring themselves to entirely reject the father figure, so they set up a (s)elected monarch with...

Once, not all that long ago, they had this; they called it the "President". Now there's just this slow, incomprehensible train wreck...

Oh, yes. Meta's misguided reading has been pointed out before.

It's a myth propagated by scientologists. Don't be a sucker. Don't fall for it. Move on.

Simple relativity will take care of this. Australia is roughly ten hours ahead of London - that is, it is ten hours in London's future. Information tr...

Yes, Harry - well done!

@"PuerAzaelis", so... what do you think?

Yep.

Yep.

And how would you be able to tell that you are using it coherent? Suppose on Day Fourteen on the island you mis-remember that "S" is for things you fo...

Think it through. How would you answer your own question?

OK - The Private Language Argument for Five Year Olds: words are only of use if more than one person uses them.

Hey, the put downs are my thing...

So you have a protégé? Nice.

Whenever we get into a discussion, this comes up again. Tedium ensues.

Yes. Hence, any belief can be stated; and if it cannot be stated it is not a belief.

Sure. Believe what you like But if you espouse your beliefs in a public forum such as this, don't complain about the critique. Edit: https://thephilos...
