If you revise a post edit the original post you made in thread. I merged both discussions as one was redundant.

@"TonesInDeepFreeze" Tones was doing a good job refuting all the crankery in a highly educational manner. That can make for a good thread. Albeit a fr...

Eh. You have a collection of apples in your fridge whose count is referable to by the symbol of a natural number. You also have an apple in your fridg...

People in general don't enjoy the kind of thinking that inclines you toward philosophy. My impression is that it usually feels some combination of ped...

I'm not making modding decisions based on exegesis of Feyerabend. But discussing it would make a good thread elsewhere. Make it? I'm locking this agai...

Being very rude about the pseudoscience you're peddling.

Banned @"PL Olcott" for a lot of threads with aggressive cranking in them. Their posts also kept getting stuck in the spam filter due to poor formatti...

I was exaggerating. The norms changed into a massive clusterfuck. Over the past few years I've talked about it with straight woman friends and acquain...

These days people don't approach others in public I'm afraid. Despite most people desiring to be approached more.

Thank @"Moliere" .

Oh it's not an insult at you. I read the NY article. My post was just exasperation with how much of a clusterfuck reality is.

We truly live in the most stupid timeline.

This isn't a particularly productive discussion.

@"PL Olcott" - if it helps, @"TonesInDeepFreeze" is giving you answers that you could find in logic courses at uni. To the best of my ability - which ...

I'm sorry this is just quackery.

Very pretty. My favourites were the Modulars. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/aliens/images/4/48/Modular_People_All_Tomorrows.jpg/revision/latest?cb...

All Tomorrows - C M Kosemen A short illustrated novel, an excellent mix of cosmic horror and speculative biology. The prose isn't particularly artful ...

Yes. Blood Meridian is my favourite novel. As of recently. I've never been so affected by fiction.

The Passenger by Cormac McCarthy So far this is light hearted and hilarious, I really don't trust it. But it's great.

Cool beans.

Dinnae mung me ya bam.

Please don't take this wrong. What're you getting out of asking these questions to us as well as stackexchange?

I think this would make Susan Boyle performance art, on the basis of her disrupting and throwing into relief the equation of pop with beauty. She sing...

After you've signed the papers, you cannot reveal that you've signed the papers. You can only reveal that if you've signed the papers you cannot revea...

Go look up Prior's approach to the liar and see what you think.

I think this is the crux of the issue. There's considerable ambiguity in the concept of functional impairment. 40 weeks of tiredness, nausea, coordina...

Self contradictory expressions - assuming that is an expression which entails a contradiction or are otherwise equivalent to A&~A - are truth bearers....

It's at this point that I realise we've had this conversation before about 8 years ago with @"Streetlight".

I'm going to continue talking in metaphors because I don't have better structured thoughts. And also because that seems fit for task. I think the body...

Indeed. Whatever model you have needs individuated states in it though. Like if you're simulating the weather, you need states corresponding to air pr...

The different states have different markov blankets. Eg the ones corresponding to touch have objects' topographies as direct relations. As far as I'm ...

You still can have predictive processing in situated and embodied cognition. Friston and Barrett's collaboration in active perception is all that.

Thanks for the tag. I agree with this. Two anecdotal bits of evidence: it takes a lot of effort to parse everyday stuff in terms of brain and body stu...

Can you give a page reference please @"Count Timothy von Icarus"?

@"Srap Tasmaner" - I think the only application of ontology in everyday life I've had recently was a spirited mereological discussion over whether eve...

Also mine for lack of clarity. You were being attentive and responded to garbled words.

It was directed to schop. Not you. I edited the post to make that clearer afterwards.

Aye. I recall.

The thread's textual exegesis of Wittgenstein's Tractatus. That includes debate about what passages mean. Debating the broader significance is tangent...

Aye. The body without organs concept is pretty natural there. Ironically it is not talking much about chemicals and demographic risk factors for addic...

It might be off the track, but do you enjoy its applications in other disciplines? I'm reading a Deleuze inspired social science book on addiction at ...

Did you just reciprocal co-constitution Wittgenstein scholarship?

I read it in a Sadean way. Appetites are in principle limitless, and only confined by what people agree to indulge in.

Oh my.

What came first, the chicken or the egg? Fucking. Fucking came first. More seriously though, you'd be as well asking whether blue or brown eyes are mo...

Yes. Especially with regard to feeling and concept talk.

You can use Wittgenstein inspired ideas as elaborate ways to tell people to shut up about a problem ("dissolving" or "undermining" a dispute), while u...

That's fair.
