I ain't the one forwarding paradoxes, I's the one dissolvin'em.
February 10, 2017 at 09:30
I know that, and I'm saying that that can't be because it doesn't make any sense for the reasons I've given.
February 10, 2017 at 09:20
I don't think so, I realize that the point is that because they're identical, that it is impossible to rationally preference one over the other, becau...
February 10, 2017 at 09:10
Indiscernability of identicals (if I'm remembering right... too lazy to look up...). As in, if two things are identical, they share all of the same pr...

I'm sure that I'll get plenty when I have the money but not the time.

Socrates has a whole thing for why that's so that he goes into in the Meno Dialogue. He believes that the only true evil is ignorance, and the only tr...

The first part is talking about like an apperception, or comprehension of something as such or such. Based in memory, we have internal impressions, or...

They can't be identical, or they couldn't be two things. Two things that are identical are the same thing, and one thing. Like superman and Clark Kent...

No one seemed to recognize resurrected Jesus. Even more distressing though, is that Jesus totally told them he was going to resurrect on the third day...

I only got those games cause there was a super awesome flash sale on the ps store. The first three remastered uncharted games for like $20, and injust...

That isn't a good picture of me, even though that's my good side.
February 08, 2017 at 23:54
I won't say whom my favorites are, I don't want to devastate every single one of your fragile hearts. Un should definitely post more. Now someone else...

I just beat the first three uncharteds, and then injustice. Got nothing now, haven't beaten far cry4 but it kind of blows. Might try for 100% completi...

He seems cooler when I'm asserting the things he thinks.

Where's that from? I know that his concept of anxiety is half a response to Kant, and also other guys I haven't read, and the "anxiety" is basically t...

Context! Kierkegaards mortal enemies were the ironists, romanticists, relativists. I've heard it said that K would be just as well known as Nietzsche ...

It ain't easy though... If the earth were an apple, we wouldn't have ever broken its skin. The Russians (I believe it was) once did try to drill to th...

Damn that lippiin' lizard! He really ruffles my jammies!

I only read the first sentence, the rest seemed superfluous.
February 08, 2017 at 16:22
Glad that we agree with me.

What could be worse? Theoretically murderers are supposed to go to jail, but they're clever pyschos, so they intricately plan in advance, and what if ...

Those weren't poor people by necessity, or ability, but were surely a horde of noble freegans, fighting the good fight against all of those isms you m...

Okay, but I also get to rummage through your garbage and keep whatever I like.
February 08, 2017 at 15:07
Okay, sounds awesome. Since I'm a holistic roofer, I'm going to also need to visit a few tropical places in order to spiritually estimate the earth's ...

Trust, faith, confidence... that's the most valuable resource in the world, by a wide margin.

Here are my test results from that one.

I've never understood the dream argument... I barely remember my dreams, and they're always incoherent. People that find that interesting must just al...

That doesn't sound so bad.

Depends on what we're talking about. If talking about the probability of him having the cards that he actually does, then it is 100%, he already has t...

I'm definitely no mathematician, I learned probability from magic finding. I remember once mfing this dragon pet that had a 1 in 6000 chance of droppi...

I don't understand this idea of increasing probability either. The probability of two coins landing on heads is .25 because with two coins four things...

February 01, 2017 at 22:10
Remains the same... if you also calculate the probabilities as sets, and compare them to each distinct throw then you get different things... yeah.

Let say that instead of eggs, I'm standing there in each egg hole dealy flipping coins. The first one lands on heads, the second one lands on heads, t...

We already knew that ravens were black... But why would all ravens be black? That isn't based on having saw a lot of black ravens, and obviously can't...

There's no paradox because that isn't really how evidence works. Like I said, anyone can weave any tale to retroactively explain the facts, but a good...

Your score is 30 out of 36. Your score is lower than 26% of all participants. Does this test work equally well for all people around the world? This t...
