Sure. Like I said before: we can make our own truths like who is the current President of the United States, or what the capital of France is, but whe...
That's it? No explanation as to why? I take issue with the very first sentence in your link: "If there is no other, there will be no I. If there is no...
What are the rules, and to what end? Who made the rules and how? It seems to me that if the rules were arbitrary, then they'd be much more malleable. ...
Bingo! You finally got it! So if this is common knowledge - that there is no getting around the fact that no-one has an infallible guarantee that any ...
You don't seem to understand that you have to assume "naive" realism if you expect to teach others how to use words - as if the words appear the same ...
This isn't anything different than what you've already said. Your model is useless if you can never know when it's appropriate to use. Knowledge would...
I dont get it. Is Witt using logic to render logic meaningless? I dont see how you can't use logic and expect to make any sense and communicate. Commu...
Most other people understand what I'm talking about when I said that. If meaning is use, then I used words and they have meaning. Saying that you don'...
Right. So how do you know that you or someone else is using the term, "knowledge" correctly, so say things like, "I/You are using the term, "knowledge...
I thought about it before I typed it. That's why I typed it. Cause and effect. The words on the screen refer to the idea in my head that wasn't the wo...
Words are names of things, not the things themselves. So there aren't thingers thinging things. There are namers naming things for the purpose if comm...
Seems to me that recycling is an act, or a cause, in the world that leads to a change in the world. I don't see any reason to throw around terms like ...
Well yeah, because in using knowledge terms you are referring to your knowledge. What else could you be doing with those terms? What do you mean by "u...
We agree on the first part. We seem to disagree on what "know" and "knowledge" mean. Maybe it's because we are using different definitions. I see "kno...
I wonder, Who is an expert in God to know what they are talking about? Who is an expert on consciousness to know what it is they are talking about? Wh...
Were the first two sentences truths? Doesn't it seem strange to use truths to show that we can't know what is true? No one is denying that dreams and ...
If God created the universe, then there is a casual relationship between God and the universe. God and the universe would exist in the same causal (ma...
We're just repeating ourselves, so either we're talking past each other, or one is simply failing to see what the other saying, or how they are using ...
If Alice knowing wasn't true, then she misused the word. You misuse a word when it is irrelevant to use. You misuse words when you don't know what the...
You probably need to resolve the disagreement in order to move on. You can't move on when you have a disagreement. Well, you can, but it would be by y...
It's not. Knowledge by skill is simply the means of testing, or justifying, your knowledge as a belief, by applying it. I don't disagree because as Il...
But people use the term, "know", to refer things that aren't so. They don't know that they don't know. They think they do, which is why they use the w...
It seems to me that people can display knowledge without saying so. I know that you know how to tie your shoes by me observing you tie your shoes. No ...
No. I would say that the infinite regress of aboutness is a product of how we use the word, "knowledge". How we use the word is wrong because of this....
We don't have different ideas about what the definition of a duck can include. Acting like a duck entails all the acts of a duck, which includes layin...
Right, so truth is a condition of observations. Right. And you can then know that you reflected by reflecting upon the reflection, ad infinitum. Is kn...
but I gave examples of how knowing how entails a sequence of knowing thats. I asked how do you know some statement is true when we seemed to agree tha...
I don't see shadows. What I see is much more detailed than shadows. Not only that but I have other senses that give me even an even greater resolution...
I thought the same thing when I read that. Language is made up of many kinds of letters and words, not beliefs. Minds are made of beliefs, but beliefs...
Ducks are a particular type of species - ones that produce fertile offspring. Ducks are part of the genus we call "birds", because they have wings and...
What, are you 12 years old? I was just reiterating what you said, so if I was inconsistent it was really you that is being inconsistent. What is Reaso...
I wasn't aware that the goal was to come up with beautiful ideas (which is subjective). I was trying to come up with useful ideas. IMO, useful ideas a...
Time is a measurement of change. The measurement uses change to measure change, like the change of the second hand across the face of the clock relati...
"Is" refers to the present tense. Can Jack claim to be a newlywed a year from now? That depends on what a newlywed is. This is like asking, when do we...
Sentences cant assert to be true or false on their own. A sentence isnt true or false because it says so. It is true or false if it fits or doesn't fi...
Sound like you just claimed the apple has no color at all. The apple has a color. It is red. If it were a different color, I'd say so. If words are va...
Then what do you mean by being asleep and being awake? Why use two different terms if they actually mean the same thing? What is the purpose of having...
What determines if the sentence is false? It seems to me that what you find irrelevant is the relevant statement that makes that statement false. The ...
Married and bachelor are two seperate and opposing qualities. Sleep-walking are two separate non-opposing qualities. We know from experience that one ...
They would only be meaningful if they were seperate statements on their own, not asserting two opposing qualities of the same thing. "Jack is a marrie...
I dont think people need permission from others to make an argument for or against something. If people want to make an argument for the existence of ...
You need references to say that one is true or not. This sentence is short. Compared to which other sentences? This sentence is false. Which sentence ...
So contradictions and sentences without any clear reference, are meaningless. Contradictions don't have any clear reference either. A contradiction is...
All I have done so far is offer some examples of knowing-how reducing to knowing-that. I don't know if I'd say all of them do. I was hoping you might ...
What we need is a theory that joins the theory of the micro with the theory of the macro. The dualism is a result of our ignorance and skewed perspect...
Reason is the effort to justify our beliefs and language-use is the effort to express reality in words and numbers. Language-use isnt necessarily a us...
