I don't think the problem is that ~Jc entails (Sc v Wc) given (Jc v Sc v Wc), it's that it reads as if when one asserts ~Jc, one has established (Sc v...

When you believe the premises, you interpret to the string which is used to express them. (1) If you're an apple, then you're sour or sweet or juicy. ...

Depends on the symbol interpretation. I think it's more of a problem about how the informal argument codifies into the formal logic. In the same manne...

Keep track of domains. (A) If republican (x) and wins (x), then (B) (not (Reagan(x) implies Anderson (x). (A=>B) has people in general talked about in...

:up: Thank you, I see. Let me see if I can rephrase the issue. Imagine a world at which God exists, this world has a domain, and one of the entities i...

Could you explain the difference so it is very clear to me please?

I can't because I'm mostly making it up from SEP and university memories. It is quite possible that what I said was entirely wrong! I was envisioning ...

I don't think you have to cancel the (hypothetical) trade off between societal volatility and welfare of its workers. It can still be the case that so...

I imagine that equality works on worlds too. I'd say that two worlds are equal when they consist of (all and only) the same elements / when they evalu...

I don't see how I suggested that? Explain it to me please.

Yes. Set of all possible worlds there is: {W1, W2} W1 is {egg, bacon} W2 is {egg}

Of the set of possible worlds under consideration, I think so. Within worlds, you still have the base logic and whatever domain of discourse is in tha...

In which set of possible worlds? {egg}, {egg, bacon} Has "egg must exist" as true, where "eggs must exist" is treated as "necessarily there is at leas...

I don't think you even need S5 for it? Given that you can choose world elements. W1={egg, bacon} W2={egg} The statement E: "At least one entity in thi...

Illuminati confirmed, Exxonmobil lobbying against climate science to terraform dinosaurs back to life.

Zizek's comments on disavowal. Second this general attitude sticking with me. :up: "Don't collapse the tradeoff!" :up: I'd add making sure a quantity ...

That's either very depressed and self deprecating or you meant symmetric?

Isn't that what you actually believe though? That secretly wanting to be fucked in the ass is a way of wanting to be a woman? (1) Trans women are wome...

You'd benefit from reading the UN primer on sex/gender and transgenderism. The concepts are a bit nuanced, but since you're a philosopher you're up to...

I can't give you anything with that level of specificity (the Indigenous * gender) intersection, nor am I first nations. I'm also unlikely to throw yo...

I absolutely do do it with the UK and America insofar as I believe it relevant, and would do it more for the UK if the UK's government gave me strong ...

I don't think you understand it in the same way as it's used, then. Either that or you're pivoting between this restricted understanding and the more ...

You've been talking with us for two months! Time flies. Very many thanks for all you've done.
