Only when it comes to providing answers. The only way we obtain the answer is by testing all possible answers. An untestable answer is just as valid a...

Exactly. And a psychopath would probably not have any emotional response at all, or if they did would probably experience the opposite feelings you ar...

Which is the same as saying that the program was written incorrectly and/or is handling input that is was not designed to handle. Define "useful". You...

Exactly. Context helps to establish the meaning (what a word points to) of certain words. Some words are helper words in that they establish the conte...

My point was that charitability it is a two-way street. I can only help make the position clearer if the other participates in answering the questions...

It depends on from which view we are talking about ethics and aesthetics. Are we talking about them from the "internal" position of distinguishing rig...

Let me guess, you haven't received a response? I would then refer you to my post just after the one you've quoted me on here in this thread (the last ...

"By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which...

That is what I mean by group-hate as a product of political parties. Their hate of anyone that does not follow the party line clouds their judgement, ...

Not just that, but those migrants are going to get old too someday. What is ironic is that many of the same people that vote for an octogenarian also ...
June 16, 2025 at 13:52
That is obvious. Why would we need Godel to explain something so trivial? Is linguistics, the study of languages, outside of language? If not then wha...

When a human says, "I'm sorry", how do we know they're not being fake and manipulative, essentially regurgitating our style back to us to ingratiate i...

The Democrats and Republicans are both complicit in the surge of migrants that illegally crossed the border. Both parties understand that a declining ...

Which is just saying that to have a theory that is right is to have a theory that acknowledges all the relevant information and excludes all the irrel...

To show that you and I are using the scribbles to inform others of some state of affairs, and by "using", I mean representing. The scribble, "red" is ...

The powers that be are not preventing you from pulling the lever for an alternate candidate nor preventing you from speaking your mind to others. The ...

I don't need to agree with anyone to know when an apple is ripe and when it isn't. To know when an apple is ripe or not (and to know that red means ri...

But I didn't identify as being like Jordan Peterson, and according to Moliere's own arguments one has to identify as such to be called as such. Sure, ...
June 14, 2025 at 13:21
Well, being pessimistic about it - sure you won't see a realistic way forward. I don't see a realistic way forward on many, if not most, philosophical...
June 14, 2025 at 13:09
Which is why I say that the answer isn't a third, fourth, or even a fifth party, but no parties. I think the best way to obtain that is to simply stop...

Because having power over others makes it easier to keep that power by controlling the media and establishing long-term relationships with lobbyists. ...

There are other options on the ballot. In 2020, the argument was that you don't want to vote for the racist, DT. But Biden is also racist. There were ...

My advice to your developer is that you need more training.
June 13, 2025 at 16:03
Why do you think America limited the number of Presidential terms to two? I wonder why Congress doesn't do the same for themselves. They can easily wr...
June 13, 2025 at 16:01
You provided a link to a PBS article when I'm asking for YOUR categorical observations of anarchistic, liberal and socialist behavior. Have you ever o...

When you make politics a career - that is the problem.

of what? What did she do to qualify as such?
June 13, 2025 at 15:48
No. So, what would a socialist call a liberal participating in an insurrection to overthrow the socialist government - fascist (since anarchists are j...

Exactly. Conditioning out the context in which defamation is a crime is having an informed population. Conditioning out inciting speech would also inv...
June 13, 2025 at 15:10
You're not reading what I said. How does asserting that both socialists and libertarians have used anarchy as a means to an end espousing something of...

What are we doing when we use a word in the community language differently (ie slang, etc)? It takes time for that use to propagate throughout the com...

If you're content with that then you must be content with calling people who claim to be a Dark Lord of the Sith a Dark Lord of the Sith, else you wou...
June 13, 2025 at 14:45
That's the problem - believing that people who identify in some way or another are always correct in their assertion. Has there ever been a case where...
June 13, 2025 at 14:40
Nonsense. I thought you did your research prior to posting your examples, or else how would you know what a Marxist is vs an Anarchist? Why didn't you...
June 13, 2025 at 14:33
But I've been talking about influence all along as well but you seemed to reject how I was using it, so I'm now trying to understand how you are using...

If someone makes disparaging remarks about someone else but all listeners know that those remarks are not true, was a crime committed in making those ...

Ok. Now what are the key differences between Marx The Soviet Union and anarchists in Spain? I found this: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/...
June 12, 2025 at 14:17
It depends on how one is defining "refer" and "language". Is referring and language the same thing, or can you have one without the other?
June 12, 2025 at 14:02
I'm jumping in here without an clear understanding of how "triangulation" is being used here (a relation between the scribble, the writer and the read...
June 12, 2025 at 13:40
Sure, but there is no law against lying. Are you saying there should be? Have you ever lied - to anyone? I'll just pose to you the question I posed to...
June 11, 2025 at 14:24
You can say that if you want, but that has no bearing on our conversation, as you have already agreed with me that there are brain differences that ar...
June 11, 2025 at 14:21
Good point. But this can be said of many social structures so is not a defining property of anarchy.
June 11, 2025 at 14:17
My point is that we need real world examples to map these ideas to. If we can't find real world examples, then they are just ideas untethered to reali...
June 11, 2025 at 14:15
I don't get your point. If you don't judge people based on past behavior you just end up believing the same people that have lied to you and engaging ...

I don't think limiting ourselves to our closer cousins is the way to go. If you want to exclude some species because you claim that they are not what ...
June 11, 2025 at 13:52
I guess that depends on which definition of "anarchy" and "hierarchy" you are using. Again, the AI response: Bonobos live in matriarchal, female-domin...
June 11, 2025 at 13:38
You're telling me I need to tell you about the cats and the bees? AI's response to the above question: Cats are generally solitary hunters but can for...
June 11, 2025 at 13:27
Even more simpler, the difference between anarchy and Marxism is similar to the difference between the social order of cats and the social order of an...

:roll: Then I have no idea what you're saying, as usual.

Well, "incite" could be one possible reaction according to some on these forums. Why would someone write an essay with a faulty analysis of the facts?...
