Yes, sir. How would you like them? Hard Scrambled? Soft Scrambled? Sunny Side Up? Over Easy? Over Medium? Over Hard?

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who has the biggest ego of them all?

Are you a psychologist/psychoanalyst by any chance? :razz:

Ah, there's two problems. I live in an ultra-orthodox Jewish community and I'm no longer religious, so it's very difficult to make friends with the re...

Nowadays I use this forum because I love writing. And I especially like it when people respond to what I’ve written. I'm not really interested in any ...

Just like Heinz!

That's your opinion. I don't know how I could have worded it better. Perhaps I shouldn't have created this thread. Too late. :razz: My question could ...

I don’t know what y’all talking about, but the last word is ‘Zyzzyva’. I just checked it out in the dictionary.

I'm not sure about existence, but according to Einstein,"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the fo...

Yeah, I can tell. It inspired you to create a whole thread about it.
January 20, 2019 at 12:11
What's grinding your gears? People who think they are really wise and everything.

Too bad your name is S and not Sapientia. I mean, that name would really fit your description.

Resident Evil Biohazard. It's really scary.

I'll let @"Mr Phil O'Sophy" take my place because it seems like he knows much more about Islam than I do.
January 17, 2019 at 23:46
:gasp: Yes. No because I don't think Qurans are generally harmful. You say the Quran incites violence, but the vast majority of Muslims are not violen...

Well according to Vox, James Watson has a whole history of making sexist and racist comments.

We are here just to listen to complaints, not to address it. If that bothers you you know what to do.

How do you want me to be clearer?
November 17, 2018 at 10:15
Incidentally, I looked at the Wikipedia page on truth, and I didn't realize there was an actual theory like the one in the OP called the performative ...

I'm not saying that agreeing that something is true makes it true. I'm saying that when we say something is 'true' we are merely an expressing an agre...

There's no possible world where both an unstoppable force and an immovable object exists. They are both co-impossible.

I'm questioning whether omniscience is even possible. Some people say that the skeptical problems of philosophy are insoluble. In my OP I'm basically ...

It all depends on what you mean by an "outside reason". If by "an outside reason" you mean something other than what's included in the physical univer...

This is like saying you cannot talk to someone on the phone because there is a time lag between the caller and the receiver. You mean the mind cannot ...

You mean 'mortal' is a predicate that denotes being alive at one point time, and dead at another point of time?

No, a brute is a fact that cannot be explained in principle. A brute fact doesn't mean a fact that yet eludes my explanation. This isn't logical. Even...

Mathematical conjectures are not known a priori, nor a posterori, but they're are guessed. The same is true for some physical predictions. Furthermore...

How about the assertion that, 'there are no even prime numbers'? It refers to something that exists or not. Is that too a posteriori and synthetic?
October 11, 2018 at 06:39
My goal in the OP was to point out a problem with knowing the proposition that, 'there are no a priori synthetic truths'. I tried, in vain, to find a ...
October 11, 2018 at 06:10
It's just something that I hear a lot. A proposition's truth is analytic if and only if the negation of that proposition implies a contradiction. To q...

Because it's logically impossible for you not to be you.

Why do we need a complete explanation? It seems like you want to hold onto the PSR when that is the very contention that I am attempting to dismantle.
