You do understand that: "Snow is white" is true only if snow is white is true even if snow is polkadot?

Well, each side will be true if and only if the other side is also true. What are you asking?

...and your apologetics verges on the psycoceramic.

So what they say "I feel female", they mean that they prefer to be treated as a woman. Fine. No issue. But, as is pointed out in the source text, some...

And yours is an abomination.

Sure. Go ahead and elucidate. What are we to understand by "I feel like a woman", spoken by a man? Perhaps, what would make it true? What does it feel...

How does he know what it is like to feel female?

I didn't.

Indeed. You are a moral agent. You choose to follow a screed rather than admit that you choose for yourself. Hence you deny that you are a moral agent...

My friend, there simply is not a causal link between the right side and the left side of the material equivalence. My temptation now is to walk away f...

It drops out of public consideration, as beetles in boxes.

There's a long part of the discussion that looks for a coherent definition of gender; specifically on that does not include the term "gender" in the d...

If you like.

All of which are public, Her target is a form of argument that sets as its basis a private claim of gender identity.

What's the point of my replying to you if you do not address my writing?

Although I have only read a few of your posts, it might be that the post above, directed at Agustino, applies yo you as well. You are a moral agent, w...

The Nuremberg defence. You can't escape responsibility for your moral actions by being a moral coward. You decide to follow what you take to be god's ...

Yeah. That works.

In direct speech: "It's raining outside" is true If and only if it is raining outside. In indirect speech: That It is raining outside is true If and o...

... is incorrect. The syntax is muddled. Why do you think the right hand side makes the left hand side true? That strikes me as an odd notion. An anim...

Well, this was a waste of time.

what then, simple credulity?

Sure, but "what does that mean?" and "Is that true?" are at least prima facie not the same; Davidson put a fair amount of effort into trying to show o...

What a nice myth.

How does that work? God presumably set up human nature. Why make it corruptible? Yeah, all the stories of free will. A get-out-of-jail-free card for t...

That ought to work. Scripture is so clear and uncontroversial.

If you think this was a good plan, then you are not a moral person.

How does free will excuse mass murder? Was it A Good Thing to drown all those evil two-month old babies? Take the myth seriously, and it is an abomina...

What makes "the cat is on the mat" true is that the cat is on the mat. The End. You might have in mind one of these correspondence objections. If so, ...

It doesn't say anything.

That just don’t work.

...is not a proposition.

From the OP: Odd.

Why can't there be a proposition that cannot be shown to be true, nor shown to be untrue? Actually, such propositions underpin Gödel's incompleteness ...

And how would you refute this? How would you show that I was lying?

There is a world of difference between you believing tht my ear is itchy, and my believing that my ear is itchy. They are two completely different thi...

Well, sort of. The deflationary theory holds that truth is not a predicate. It marks out a role for truth that is distinct from predication, in much t...

"Cannot be shown to be untrue" is not the same as "can be shown to be true".

I don't care if you believe me or not; I believe my ear is itchy because... well, my ear is itchy. For me, doubt has no place here.

SO by irrefutable you mean not refuted. That's not what most of us mean.

Here's an irrefutable belief: My ear is itchy.

SO you believe. :razz:

Then it seems that in saying "irrefutable", you do not mean irrefutable.

There's an error here in thinking that facts and beliefs are on a par. they are not. Facts are about states of affairs, while beliefs are about propos...

A bit more shrewdness... If it's good enough for Humpty Dumpty, it's good enough for you. But just be aware that the rest of us use theocracy to mean ...

Am expression of Contempt. God would appear far more corrupt than humans.

Jesus.

Then you have rejected the notion of gender identity as Rebecca sets it out, and we are pretty much in agreement. That's fine. Hmm. At one stage Rebec...
