I'd be interested in hearing your argument for how you get from: To: for every event E possibly there exists a statement S(E) such that E is the truth...

I see. So you believe drilling to the centre of the planet in lots of places will save us all.

What do you think the problems and the solutions are?

Hard to make contrastive questions out of empty signifiers. "change", "justice", "liberty", "maximal", "limited". "right", "left", "authority", "stasi...

I don't think the "doctrine of propositional content" as I've been putting it says much at all if all the terms in it aren't fleshed out. And if they ...

No worries! I'm glad that my ambiguous "meta language" intension has been cleared up. :smile: This was fun. I think if we've pinned down the heuristic...

:up: This is why we must return to Hegel as Lenin did after Oktoberrevolution comrade. (Marxist yuk yuks)

:up: I don't know? It seems to me when I read mathematics papers, the majority of the reasoning in them is informal by a logician's standards. Suppres...

Everything is mixed up in my head too, I'm just hoping writing it out will order things for me. I believe that's so, the kinds of polyhedron intuited ...

In terms of the languages, I'd guess that the theorem statement is in L1. X is a sandwich if X is a food item consisting a food item (called "the fill...

I finished rereading this book last week, I can tell you my take on heuristic counterexamples. Imagine you've got this "mathematical theorem" which ha...

So your claim's more like: (DPC) For every event E possibly there exists a statement S( E ) such that E is the truth maker for S( E ). ?

Not expecting to any time soon. September last I heard.

Nice. Had a heads up from a friend about the Oxford vaccine, it seems if your body already recognises corona your immune system goes nuts for a day or...

:up: Let's put it in more formal terms, I'll label the formalisation (DPC) for "doctrine of propositional content". (DPC) For every (*) event E there ...

I'm not asking for absolutes. I'm asking you to detail what convinced you antifa was necessary in the historical example I gave you. What I'm hoping f...

I wanted to offer a public apology for the various edgy and offensive posts I've made over the years. So; sorry you lot, I shall try and remain lucid ...

Do you believe that it's a property of the world that whatever happens in it can potentially be stated?

Does their intent matter if they were benefitting from advancing a politics that lead to a coup attempt? And as @"frank" said 45% of Republican suppor...

Can we just take a moment to reflect on the fact that the "coup attempt" was a rational conclusion from Trump and the GOP's politics, that it was egge...

So you're willing to agree that antifascist actions can be necessary, when they are a "last resort", what is sufficient evidence that the situation is...

So you're saying that an authentic self chooses the meaning of the words they use?

I'll follow you down the phenomenology rabbit hole insofar as humans have a capacity to recognise and engender meaningful patterns. In Heideggerese, t...

What would sufficient evidence that police are unable or unwilling to do anything to help, again? Here's an excerpt from Dave Hann's book about the co...

How does someone learn to have this internal conversation?

Yes. Hope Not Hate put out a report last year about its spread to the UK.

What would count as sufficient evidence that authorities are "either complicit or unhelpful in stopping hatecrimes"?

In the interest of beating a dead horse and explaining a terrible joke I made at the same time. I summarised the claim that moods and interpretation a...

The point I'm trying to make is that there's a historical continuity between the antifascist actors I'm referring to and the ones which are currently ...

You mean in Heideggerese or in normal english? I think it makes good sense in Heideggerese. Out of Heideggerese I think it's the observation that when...

I wonder how you'd react to the idea that the dynamical interplay of memory, anticipation and the current context that goes into perception must be in...

:up: Fair enough then. I wasn't sure if I was arguing against a position you actually held.

EG, if I claimed that my partner makes me feel a special way and I called it "blimblam", and I described it as a composite of homeliness, horniness, c...

I think that applies definitionally; a use can't be set up/a word can't be defined with respect to only the presence/absence of a mental state. But it...

There's a lot of philosophy that says that mental states play no part in what speech acts express, because the connection between a mental state and a...

I hadn't given much thought to the mechanics of the mapping process; I imagine that it's done by agents utilising background knowledge of norms and co...

I don't have 'em. To my mind we're both speculating on the demographics: I'd be happy to revise my opinion on the demography of ideas in antifacist ac...

I don't wanna pivot between conceptual and demographic characterisations. I'm making the demographic claim that social democratic liberals can be anti...

I think they can and do. There just aren't enough committed anarchists and communists to make up everyone who acts with the intention of disrupting fa...

In terms of praxis, antifa's a highly decentralised popular front, Stalin's politics was a centralised united front. In terms of ideology; the popular...

And in the context of the bone I picked with @"Banno", I was trying to expand declarative sentence content (what they express) to include the intentio...

I don't know the specifics of your worldview enough to comment. By the sounds of this thread we seem to agree on things in context. That sounds right ...

:up: Putting aside the foundational issue if we can. I'll agree that "hinge propositions" are a thing, hopefully not much turns on our possible founda...

I think we're close then. I didn't want to say language in general was a distinct phenomenon from belief's content; I think there are good reasons to ...

Would you agree that it shows that whatever the intentional content of belief is, because it is expressed (perhaps with some transformation/mutilation...

I think I agree with you. What I'm illustrating is that because intention is shown in acts; including speech acts; one's intention forms part of its c...

Watkins seems aware of the problem of spelling out this sense of conceptual suggestiveness he's leaning on. In "Between Analytic and Synthetic" (avail...

Yes. The "where are they now" montage at the end. I imagine it's like Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency; the plot seems linear once you've alrea...

That seems to be one way of doing it. "Reduces" hides an awful lot of work though. Let's go through it as a worked example then. A really general stat...
