Absolutely. But you're still thinking about it like a reasonable human being and not an ideologue. If you're on the right and supporting Trump and tal...
Yes. But also more. These conservative talking points don't function like actual policy suggestions, they're signifiers that condense and reaffirm a w...
The obvious answer is that Trump is heavily committed towards taking funding from police and military budgets and creating social programs, good quali...
Very typical because it's socially necessary. How's anyone expected to juggle kids and all the other responsibilities they have? Especially when you'v...
The fragility and insufficiency of the nuclear family as a child raising strategy in the modern world aren't arguments against it because... Single pa...
Yees. I am assuming the things accurately described as random are random. Do any of the interpretations you referenced remove the distribution from th...
Yes. @"MadWorld1" wants to vote Trump because he will allegedly protect the nuclear family. You never see arguments against the nuclear family, so I t...
Not in a traditional nuclear family! People who really defend it have a load of crossed wires in their heads, in my experience anyway. It's all mixed ...
@"praxis" @"MadWorld1" If you're gonna flame each other about politics, please make sure you're burning something substantive. Anyway Madworld, why do...
(A1) If something is random, it is either epistemically random or aleatorically random. (A2) The position and momentum states of quantum particles are...
It's a rather ironic example. Considering that peak rainfall and flood risk is higher than ever, and flood defense updates are needed. I think it's ac...
This is why hytte are big business. Unfortunately solace as a consumption choice is part of the grand madness. I wish I had suggestions for what to do...
That makes flourishing of a different character than any specific moral value or system then, no? It plays the role of condition for the possibility o...
Proximally and for the most part Dasein's comportment falls into the world and its bodying forth is being toward death. Covid announces itself as a de...
You will probably get more mileage out of arguing against or undermining the is-ought distinction explicitly, rather than trying to convince someone w...
I don't know, it might be both our confirmation biases talking. I look at the kind of evidence you posted in your OP; survivability strategies being s...
With the risk of being too abstract; this sounds about right to me. The distinction between the two flavours of abstraction; philosophical and practic...
Do you think we understand stuff on a day to day basis without abstractions? Treating something as if it is some composite of our experience and thoug...
A true contradiction is one which is true and false. You're not gonna get the same notion of contradiction out if you jettison the relevance of truth ...
Indeed, inconsistency trivialises the rules. If you've got 1+1=3 and 1+1=2, that gives you 0=1, and the whole thing loses the meaning it had. If there...
It having no models in the usual way requires that truth and falsity work in the usual way, I think. If you wanna dismiss a formal system for being in...
Ultimately? I dunno. Trivial truth makes 1+1=3. Trivial truth also makes "truth is trivial is false" true. You know, the usual stuff against trivialis...
I think it gets a bit dicey; if you can assume anything that doesn't trivialise proof in a system as part of the system as an axiom, and a system prov...
I don't usually write about morality, so my views on it aren't well travelled ground for me. I apologise for messiness. I'm gonna put on my analytic p...
You know, no one I've told the story too ever thought about it like that. The thing that I found funny about it was that the other prof didn't doubt t...
Eh, if it was someone else I wouldn't've trusted it. The guy lectured in quantum physics and philosophy of quantum physics. I'm sure that it can be do...
Welp. There go my aspirations of being the Stalin of Political Correctness. I guess that's another case of the asymmetry of justification; it's much e...
Maybe if I put it like this: the situation is worse than it having a non-rational basis, rationality only comes online when called by non-rationality,...
I've reconciled that most of my mind is already sacrificed unto the Machine God on the altar of my body. I think of cognition similarly. It can domina...
That's pretty much all this is though. Political correctness as a term is not like... premium grade lean steak discourse, is it? The World Spirit didn...
I know what people say it is. There's a whole constellation of terms. Political correctness - PC police - social justice warriors - white knights - pr...
My perspective on that is: we do react in some way, and reason is involved somehow. Well, more accurately cognition. The qualitative distinction betwe...
Exactly. People who dislike political correctness will say it's not about that. But when you ask them what it's actually about, it's just vague progre...
Three questions: Would you agree that when you're saying "genetic is statements", you have in mind a broader category concerning body and mind functio...
Did you see my reply here? Link. I remember a physics prof in university spending maybe 15 minutes scolding me when I said something like "the uncerta...
I think it went through a few phases. AFAIK: It was originally a leftist political in joke, about strict discipline in adhering to one's organisation'...
Thread in a nutshell Is the fact/value distinction isomorphic to the map/territory distinction when considering descriptions of evaluations of valence...
