What about the possible worlds in which he is paranoid and thinks his neighbour is one of the alien lizards? Your question still needs work.

That makes little sense to me. Seems you were answering @"Metaphysician Undercover". There is a lack of perspicuity in your question. The distinction ...

That didn't help. It looks like you are trying to aim Quine at Kripke to see if you can score a hit. Is that right?

It will not. They are insane.

I've no clear idea what a "de re counterfactual" might be.

And this. Why must logic and maths be either discovered, or invented. Why not both?

Thanks for that post, and the other mentions. Suppose there were a way of looking at mathematics and logic that did not involve the issues you are add...

(...walks away.)

Again, the notion of logic being distinct from the world is misguided. "Wow, isn't it astonishing that logic just happens to fit the world..." No; log...

Where does the OP introduce "getting outside of logic"?

You introduced the notion of getting "outside" of logic. If we agree that it was introduced only to be rejected, then all's well.

Why do you need to get "outside" of logic in order to talk about logic? What could that possibly involve? Indeed, demonstrably, we are here talking lo...

Here's the picture that leads to this mistaken view... Over on one side we have the world, and over on the other side we have logic. Isn't it astonish...

Yeah, I think you have it. Zizek is rightly uncomfortable with those who treat event as a championship bout.

Most of the thread is off topic...

Which distinction, and where is the analysis?

Justice wouldn't.

I agree. It's just not in the remit of this thread. It's not all economics.

The comparison is between equity and fairness or justice. . Proportionality might stand for justice.

I'm sorry, but that reminds me of Scott Morrison's comment that he wanted women to rise to leadership, so long as it was not at the expense of anyone ...

A better approach might be to do feminist things but not call them feminist...

Sure, if you like. Not an easy thing to do.

An interesting argument. It seems to me that this same argument might be used against learning any new terms. ANd yet we do learn to use language.

Perhaps. Do these determine your name? Kripke covers such cases, presenting examples of folk for whom we have a proper name and yet no other informati...

"That particular person" is Luke. No particular, and no set of, attributes determine that the person is Luke. The identification ins in the specificat...

Nice rhetoric. What we know is that quota systems change culture - not always, but enough to be considered. Here's the deal: given preselection candid...

How?

Shit happens. The article you cite, on a quick read, says that governments won't act because they haven't previously acted. Perhaps this situation is ...

Vote Green.

Evidence? http://oecdobserver.org/news/fullstory.php/aid/4891/Why_quotas_work_for_gender_equality.html https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal...

The evidence is there in the results for the ALP cited by . Culture is malleable.

SO this is just yet another pissing competition.

Did you read mine? Interpret what is written in the stupidest way possible. That'll work.

All I can say is that you are not looking.

Then you advocate accepting the existing bias. OK.

It's a bit rich to insist on a detailed project plan at this stage... a bit like asking for a second engineer's report when the wing has fallen off.

What's that? I have an image of a pipe full of the oppressed...

Thanks for that. Saved me finding the data. Fair enough. We were taking as our example the Australian Liberal Party, which faces a thrashing in a fort...

On the capabilities approach... What is being advocated is an approach such that we work to allow folk to do what they are capable of. It works at the...

Ah, so we have grounds for agreement at least in that there is some bias. Well, perhaps the opinions of the women so selected will assist in identifyi...

A side issue - Have you noticed how those who object to identity politics are among its main advocates? Advocates for various issues see themselves as...

We ought relate this back to the title. In so far as feminism is about the improper use of gender in determining eligibility for social roles, it is a...

No more than you are saying that men are more capable than women. If men and women are both capable of acting as representatives in an elected body su...

The point is the difference between equity and fairness. The capabilities approach goes a long way to sorting out our choices.

Dick jokes.

Cheers. That's much as I expected. What you've written tell us about you, more than about what ought happen. Labour, of course, introduced a preferenc...

OK. Have an excellent day.

Hm. Being clearer than Nietzsche is no great achievement.

Indeed. So how should it be framed? How would you frame it? IN the first box they are treated equally. If that situation were maintained, the inabilit...

One out of three people could see the gamer, despite all three being capable of seeing the game. Two of them had their capabilities frustrated. This f...
