It's funny that you ask me that, as I didn't see anything that I was replied to about as being all that significant to my point really. The point that...

There's a reason that the new owners over at PF are suggesting articles on topical current events, that can be plastered to popular web feeds. This is...
October 26, 2015 at 01:18
Because I meant it in a single sense, but it doesn't hold in other senses, which is what I said in that post, by saying that they can mean the same th...

Obviously you don't mean to talk about tasty apples when you mean to talk about the word "apple", but most uses of the word "apple" aren't meta, and d...
October 26, 2015 at 00:47
No, I meant what I said, I just said more than that, which is being ignored so that that part can be misinterpreted. Clearly a mistaken, unclear choic...
October 26, 2015 at 00:25
That's just quote mining. I go on to clarify that they just mean the same thing, and then further clarify that they can mean the same thing, but can a...

Kind of weird how they keep talking about brain augmentations, and stuff...

Would the invisible thing even work on the administrators?

I dunno, you'll have to ask Chalmers.
October 25, 2015 at 20:45
I don't understand it, I merely behave as if I do. As for reading a book from a character's point of view, you may have guessed this by now, but it me...
October 25, 2015 at 20:29
That sounds like an illusion. You are seeing through the Terminator's eyes, as it were, and in doing so project a conscious experience behind the visu...

As I argue, nothing has non-empirical constituents, in discourse, even the most abstract of notions. The funny thing about your example of referring t...

I never said that we couldn't refer to apples. I argued that meaning isn't based in material referents.
October 25, 2015 at 01:34
No, the word apple, and an apple are not the same thing, if they were the same thing, there wouldn't be two things at all, there would be one thing. T...

Yeah, my computer's time is 14 minutes slow, but I don't see how that could have anything at all to do with it...

I'm busy at work now, but later I'll clarify, and made you eat dem words.
October 24, 2015 at 19:06
Oh @"Hanover", you miss the point. The subject is what distinguishes the real from the unreal. I wish to place the distinction with our orientation to...

Looks like buddy's brain is buffering.

Wasn't he the one that wrote a book on "ignorant wisdom" or something like that? Some Socratic irony thing, then came excitedly promoting it for a bit...

Oh, the little dealies in the comment box, gotcha. I see the eye now. I was looking on my keyboard.
October 24, 2015 at 03:49
Special one next to the eye? I did want to do the link, it would be funnier if he actually sees what I said.
October 24, 2015 at 03:39
OOhhhh. I never would have guessed that, That sly devil.
October 24, 2015 at 03:36
Who's this @Saphsin guy? I don't recall him from the old PF.
October 24, 2015 at 03:26
I have Sunday off, I'll try to get to reading it then.
October 24, 2015 at 03:07
We can be worried about unreal threats, or not worried about real ones, but it takes us considering them real to be worried, and unreal to be unworrie...

When I post something, the time stamp says it's 14 min old right away, and then goes to 13,12,11 etc, although I haven't watched it past that point, a...
October 24, 2015 at 02:05
I think it is effect. A real threat is worrisome, an unreal threat, not so much. A difference between play, and meaning it. To call something unreal, ...

"Reference" is misguided, The word apple and the thing that is an apple are one and the same. They mean the same thing. They are not merely static neu...
October 24, 2015 at 01:44
Yeah, it still does it. Starts out at 14 min, then goes back in time.
October 24, 2015 at 01:23
It ought to be an armchair me thinks. A nice one though.
October 24, 2015 at 01:22
Funny about the election, I'm out west, where the overwhelming majority are conservative, but I'm from back east, and regardless of that, am damn libe...

I Pm'd Loveofsophia, I like him. I know that TGW had been posting under a sock puppet on the old PF for awhile now, though if he's here, I haven't rec...

Reading about Jew conspiracies eh? No surprise.

I think that Jamalrod actually created a "woo" category for a brief moment in time.
October 23, 2015 at 03:20
I thought they might be the same person too, just because he came out of left field. Notice that -will- admin too, that hasn't posted anything? Who da...

I honestly wasn't worried at all, and was just tagging along for fun, and interested in what the members reactions, and feelings were, which was enter...
October 22, 2015 at 23:42
Buzzwords, topical discussions, lots of tags on topics, and lots of activity. Those are good ways to improve search engine rankings. I doubt that PF g...

Don't worry about it, just imagine that the standard of measure of quality judgment, even quality human being is whether or not they liked you. When s...

Should have special coloured names. Doesn't have to be purple, could also be violet, or for something completely different, a fun mixture of red and b...

As long as you realize that I suffer the most by this move.
October 22, 2015 at 17:17
My name ought to be purple.
