Thank you.

Including @"StreetlightX"?

Your notion of infinity is just conceptual rubbish. Think I mentioned that.

You are still wrong.

Othering. They are not us. We don't do this shit. That's the PM's excuse for Australia producing a nationalistic terrorist. And so he does not have to...

Nice people.

Highlight the text you want to quote and a popup will appear.

That was an impressive slide, from liberal apologetics in the OP to whether Jesus was a nicer person than Mohamed... I'm not interested in a bigoted p...

Nuh. If folk want to air their hypocrisy, let 'em.

Ah, so Islam is immoral as a social system, while Christianity is a moral social system that happens to have a few folk with moral flaws... That'd be ...

The attitude of the Salvos to drug use is a case in point of Christian immorality.

Then along comes Wittgenstein...

I agree with some aspects of this. Except that it implicitly sets the Islamic world up as not liberal, not desirous of free speech, cruel, hateful and...

To misquote Camus:

A trite pretence.

It's shewing, and archaic spelling of showing... Not Shooing.

Ok, but it would be wrong to think that philosophy is unimportant. Getting it wrong leads to all sorts of trouble.

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

Or when the student abandons his doctoral thesis in philosophy and leaves college.

Ah. Now, what do we mean by "good at their job"?

No, it's Monday. I live in your future. Philosophers generally think of themselves as teachers; they set out to explain where others have gone wrong, ...

This thread, at least so far, is in English. Someone who thinks otherwise is, as we say in the trade, wrong. That is, they have a false belief. "This ...

I believe it on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Teaching is an odd profession in that if one does it well, the student will no longer need the teac...

Philosophy is useless. If you have a choice, don't do it. If.

We all do that. The important part is to see that all @"Devans99"'s issues are dissolved if one accepts the logic of infinity he rejects. That is, the...

Identify, not determine.

Go back to @"Bitter Crank"'s question - how do you identify an objective truth?

"No statements are true except for this one" is not contradictory... just false.

Drop objective truth, subjective truth and absolute truth. They are confusing impediments. Just work with truth.

What he said was: Which is just false. Infinity plus one is still infinity. What you propose here is quite different.

Of course, a Koch Snowflake has an infinitely long perimeter. What you are saying is that such a snowflake cannot be constructed with matter, because ...

@"Devans99", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_snowflake A line that extends to infinity, contained within a circle of fixed area. Now, suppose the c...

If God existed, its existence would presumably be omnipresent - apparent and undeniable. And yet, its existence is denied.

You're just doing it again.

You repeat the same error, despite correction. Hence your threads are about your error, not about philosophy.

Good reply.

@"Isaac" gave the correct answer to the OP in the second post here. That @"Devans99" receives any attention is evidence of poor critical skills on the...

Any unsuitable theory. Mundane examples would be using Newtonian equations to calculate relativistic speeds and times; or using Maxwell's equations to...

One chooses a mathematics that suitably describes the world. So a suitable mathematics describes the world.

so... it's an assumption?

Cool. That shows that you are working with an unhelpful definition of infinity. Treat it rather as an unbounded number larger than any real number.

But knowing all the digits of Pi is knowing only one thing - all the digits of Pi.

But we know there are infinite infinities. What you believe is irrelevant.

Did you see Un's post? What the fuck is "absolutely" doing here? It wasn't anywhere in the argument.

More weird logic. But I am not sure if there is a point here, or just a misunderstanding.

Then again, perhaps he knows everything, but his knowledge is not infinite... Because there are only a finite number of things that can be known. See ...

Yep. Hence the OP at the least needs a substantial re-write.
