Ducks, in the sense of independently existing objects, aren't even "available" (scare quote) for us to call them "duck" though. in Kant though! What c...

Alright. What are you struggling to understand in my post, and I'll do my best to rephrase it. Like , I also noticed that the phenomenon/noumenon or p...

I'm responding to the relations of concepts in your post by analysing them, yes. Is this a problem?
October 04, 2024 at 12:04
How would you tell if one conceptual reality is different from another in the first place? You seem to allow it to admit of degrees ("completely"), so...
October 04, 2024 at 11:52
It's Immanuel. I appreciate the attempt to make Kant's terms clearer. Though I think you're dealing with the more general dichotomy between representa...

Bah. It borrows your intentions.
October 02, 2024 at 11:53
The primary difference, as I see it, is that if someone uses a shite source but puts it in their own words, the person's spent a shitload of time doin...
October 02, 2024 at 11:25
That's a good clarification. I'll add it.
October 02, 2024 at 09:41
Yes, but I'm certain you won't like it. :lol:
October 02, 2024 at 09:23
I've read a bunch of Thinking and Being now, and I'm getting the impression it was written in an alternate timeline. It seems to be responding to prob...

I use it for programming. It's also okay-ish at regurgitating commonly known things which are everywhere on the internet. I use it to come up with que...

Consult with it, then write your own post. You can use it to help you write the post. You need to check what it's saying if it comes up with citations...

Thinking and Being is hard to quote from in a self contained manner, Jesus Christ.
October 01, 2024 at 10:26
Yes. it's to stop exchanges being like this forever. Took 10 minutes, appears truthy, is wrong in lots of subtle and not so subtle ways. But you're no...

I encourage users to flag explicit or seeming uses of chatGPT or other bots that they see. They may turn out to be fine, it just makes it easier to ke...

I amended the site guidelines with these clarifying remarks.
September 30, 2024 at 18:39
@"Pierre-Normand" - I see you use it a lot, I just wanted to tag you in thread to make sure you're aware of the ruling. While personally I think your ...
September 30, 2024 at 18:31
It repeats common misconceptions and flubs details constantly. It's especially bad at sourcing. It is also far too agreeable. You can easily talk it i...
September 30, 2024 at 18:29
Some clarifying remarks: Using it as a writing assistant is fine, using its largely unguided output as your entire post is not fine. Using it as a sou...
September 30, 2024 at 14:10
@"keystone" As of a recent amendment to site guidelines, using ChatGPT as an academic source is grounds for a warning. You're not being warned for it ...
September 30, 2024 at 11:30
@"Srap Tasmaner" This is a related analogy, but is not exactly what is going on in the thread. Kimhi's forces aren't quite illocutionary forces, we're...
September 30, 2024 at 02:46
I see you already made roughly the same point as I did here with less words.
September 28, 2024 at 11:07
@"Banno" @"Pierre-Normand" I was thinking (surprise). This is about how to ground force "in" the territory of a proposition understood as a set of equ...
September 28, 2024 at 10:32
That's damn cool.
September 27, 2024 at 03:35
To be clear - are you saying that there is common content between the assertion and rejection but that this common content is inexpressible as (some) ...
September 27, 2024 at 00:03
Lemme see if I get this right. Trying to pick it apart to understand it. The note is G. Jack identifies it as G# Jill identifies it as Ab. G# and Ab a...
September 26, 2024 at 16:31
What have I said which has given you the impression that I like the forms? I don't mean that in an accusing or rebuking manner, I legitimately don't u...
September 26, 2024 at 15:26
I think we'd want to call it "the same inference" in some contexts and not in others. Bad reasoning might infer Q from P, and good reasoning might inf...
September 26, 2024 at 13:48
@"Srap Tasmaner" @"Pierre-Normand" Rejection being irreducible to asserting a negation in some contexts is fairly straightforward as an idea right. A)...
September 26, 2024 at 13:41
It never hurts.
September 23, 2024 at 10:21
I should've asked before too, sorry, what do you want to get out of the discussions too? But thanks for clarifying. I think fellow students and strang...
September 22, 2024 at 19:46
Welcome. Who're you speaking with?
September 22, 2024 at 18:08
This is some rambling. Belief in a story would be a different flavour of belief than the one in this thread anyway. Telling a story is, at least, a se...
September 22, 2024 at 10:45
Can there even be an answer using speech act properties alone for that? The sense of nonreality afforded to fiction is surely something closer to inta...
September 21, 2024 at 20:08
This really brightened up my day, thank you, you massive pissing cunt.
September 21, 2024 at 19:21
That makes sense. The type of bias involved reminds me of founder effects. In which a diversity of initial properties in one contexts transforms into ...
September 21, 2024 at 13:27
Yes, what makes being able to hold those norms in suspense IRL useful is also what makes it rude to do so in most circumstances. You challenge how thi...
September 20, 2024 at 20:45
You learn ways of thinking about the world by learning to use words. Sometimes the ways you learn think stop you from questioning things you should qu...

Fucking porridge innit.

Posts and mentions are below your name on any page. For me that's page top, screen top left on a web browser.

0.96, an improvement.
September 20, 2024 at 02:54
That's very kind of you to highlight. I'm not expecting responses personally, and I encourage you - as a mod - to take whatever time you need to respo...
September 17, 2024 at 18:28
@"Leontiskos" - that masters thesis you linked is a good read.
September 15, 2024 at 09:10
I suppose appears was inopportune. I meant to say that the reader is invited to interpret Sally to be asserting that it is raining, and invited to int...
September 13, 2024 at 22:08
One way it seems relevant is that understanding the sentence as weird and contradictory on a gut level... pumps the intuition that it must function as...
September 13, 2024 at 20:53
Just for the specific sentence "It is raining but I believe it is not raining", taken as a stand alone. When you read that, you can understand it. Eve...
September 13, 2024 at 07:03
If I'm part of that "we", I see a relatively clear but restrictive theory proposed as Frege's in and clarified wonderfully in . I wanted to put some p...
September 12, 2024 at 19:31
This is a precise question, thank you. "Does it?" and "were you asserting it?" seem to be a false dichotomy to me. There is another possibility. Readi...
September 12, 2024 at 16:34
Fun thread. I bolded "a" in the quote since, if I read it right, you're construing Frege's view that every proposition cannot contain assertoric force...

The vegan Scottish food substitutes as a rule are very good, I think. Vegan haggis too.
