If you read the reply, the first word was, "Exactly.", as in "I agree". We both agreed that in order to determine whether or not we actually agree or ...

You might think it a game, but I don't consider making logical fallacies a game. If you consider a philosophical discussion a game, then that is proba...

So if one makes an assertion without any source, and is called "authoritarian", then it is simply an ad hom attack as the assertion doesn't provide an...

It seems that you wouldn't need to do research if you trusted the authority. I love these assertions without any kind of examples to back them up.

I don't know what you mean by "mending" in this statement.

Exactly. The common ground is logic. If you refuse to use it, then there is no point in us having a discussion as I would never be able to understand ...

When someone keeps contradicting themselves when asked to clarify their beliefs, how are we suppose to know whether we are disagreeing or agreeing on ...

What do "human beings" have to do with being you? How did you come to conceive that things called "human beings" and "you" are related in some way? Wh...

That sounds logical. :up:

Good answer, although I don't understand why you would practice what you wouldn't end up applying at some point. You're confusing the symbol with its ...

According to your statements in other threads on other topics, I don't need to show anything except express that is how I feel. I feel logical. You sa...

Now you're having the same problem I had, and many others have had with unenlightened. Oh wait, you did the same thing you are accusing of unenlighten...

It's over an hour long. Care to point to the exact location in the video that corresponds to what you are trying to show?

It's not a fact that you brought terms like "authoritarian" and "Trump" into a discussion that wasn't about either? Did I not show how my initial post...

Are you asking if your parents could have given you a different name, or are you asking if you had a different father but the same mother, would you s...

So are we to take this post as true simply because you said it, or do I get to disagree? How authoritarian.

My qualm isn't about the scribbles we use, but what the scribbles refer to. I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing when it comes to forma...

You mean like how you cherry-picked your source on dialectic logic and how you cherry-picked this one small part of my post to respond to while ignori...

Yet I made the same statement here and you didn't say anything of the sort. It's only after unenlightened started his bandwagon that you decided to ju...

Seriously though. The question that the title of this thread poses is one that should have been answered when your parents taught you about the birds ...

You're mistaken. I have shown that fdrake and Pantragruel agreed with me that logic is indeed necessary. It is only creativesoul that seems to have a ...

Hold on. You didn't answer the first question: What is bert1? You asserted that bert1 has eyes, so I'm assuming that your answer is that you are a hum...

Is bert1 a human being, internet bot, scribbles on a screen, or what? You seem to know what you are - a bert1 - but are ignorant of why you are bert1?...

It does it for me, but if someone doesn’t value logic, what logical argument could you provide to show the importance of logic?

Luck has nothing to do with it. The intuition that you could have been anything is evidence that you don't have an understanding of evolution by natur...

Perhaps you forgot your OP: If you have a problem with logic "presupposing some truth", then why did you presuppose that there are two opposing opinio...

Think of formal and final causes as the snapshot views we have of the spatial-temporal causal process. Think of it like digitizing an analog process, ...

What you call determinancy I see as snapshot views at different sizes relative to the process we are talking about. Think about determinancy as spatia...

The first person perspective that is mine is the one that I don't have to postulate as a consequence of the observations of other bodies.

This doesn't sound like a very useful program that only displays one image - the one you determined. Computer programs are useful when they can be app...

Then you need to ask why events in a dynamic world can be determined statistically. The fact that statistics exists, and is useful for something, must...

You're not being very helpful. Your behavior indicates that you really aren't interested in what you put out in your OP. You seem to be showing that, ...

It seems to me that we need to establish what a first person perspective is because you only know about other perspectives via your own. It seems to m...

If you claim that logic can't do it alone, then you must have a reason to say such a thing - a time when logic didn't provide the best thing to believ...

Not involving the concept of thinking, but how to communicate the concept of thinking to others. In asking for definitions we are asking where each of...

It seems to me that to say "mine" is a property of a first person perspective assumes that a first perspective is something owned by, or part of, some...

What I'm referring to is how language-use contradicts how we think about things. If you find it possible to think about something that both exists and...

Looking at this, it seems to me that we've simply been talking past each other this whole time. You and fdrake agreed that some form of logic is requi...

You don't seem to understand what synonym means. If you look up the synonym of logical then you will get reasonable as an entry. Which is to say that ...

Then it presupposes a truth - that disagreements exist. Then your quibble is with the scribbles, and not what the scribbles are about? Which is to say...

https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/reasonable Synonyms & Antonyms of reasonable 1) according to the rules of logic his answer is perfectly reas...

I don't understand. Are you saying that there are times in our lives where we do things without having an experience? Are you saying that you spat out...

:lol: What did you attempt to illustrate if not the conclusive nature of dialectic logic? Or are you saying that your illustration is just scribbles a...

Seems to support what I said, not what you said. Bravery comes in degrees, not on or off / true or false. Some are braver than others. Tell me, Pantag...

You keep contradicting your OP in your attempt to argue for the sake of arguing with me. So it seems to me that pain is necessary for survival. What i...

When I think how to program a robot to avoid harm, it seems much easier, and more efficient, to program it too react to harm done rather than react to...

No, that isnt the case. What is the case is that you see the world in black and white and you often confuse your black for white and vice versa.

What are you doing? You just contradicted your OP:

Like I said to Pantagruel. If our opinions are conflicting, then how do you know that our opinions are of the same thing? If you're asking if you can ...

But you aren't merely pointing out that it exists. You attempted to show an example of it's use and failed miserably. In pointed out that it exists, y...
