But didn't he just use language to describe the experience? Saying it is indescribable is describing it with words, no? Is "indescribable" a descripti...
Oh yeah, this is when you clam up because you don't have any interesting comebacks. Volition is prior and more fundamental than beliefs. And if we can...
Answer my questions. I'm not asking for much really. But you skipped over the actual posts specific to your replies to take on a post that was asked i...
If words are used, then volition must be involved. It seems to me that it requires volition to have a belief. Beliefs are constructed from observation...
What does it mean for someone to think that they should have been born in a different body? It doesn't make sense to say that they recognize the part ...
How is that any different than someone cutting off their legs because felt they didnt belong to their body? Is someone that cuts off their legs delusi...
Are you saying the distinction lies in the pattern of scribbles, or what the scribbles symbolize - like the actual state-of-affairs of there being a f...
When someone makes a claim, are they making a claim that only applies to them, or applies to everyone, or what? In other words, are they referring to ...
You're confused? You're the premier analytical philosopher around here and I was asking a question about what you said. I'm confused about the argumen...
What do you mean? Can you give an example? Googling logical entailment provides links like this: https://gawron.sdsu.edu/semantics/course_core/lecture...
It was a question asking for clarification of what you meant not an assumption of what you said. If it was already assumed what you said, I wouldnt ne...
So there's no distinction between "I feel like I need to vomit" and "I'm vomitting"? One is pointing to a feeling and the other to a behaviour. Are yo...
You're making it more complicated than it needs to be. All you need to do is explain how you are using the word, "fondness". If you're not using words...
The rules of logic are the same for everyone, and everyone should be expected to follow them, not just some people, when they feel like it, or when it...
Exactly. When we use the words, "what did you mean?", we are asking about the relationship between what was said and the idea that they intended to co...
But he just said how he feels, and then he goes on to say that what he feels isn't sayable? It's a contradiction, not a paradox, no? What does he mean...
So, you're not going to answer the question, then? You're going to stick to committing logical fallacies? Thanks for giving me the chance to treat you...
I don't see how a color is a concept, or how it could be derived from prior concepts. It is a brute sensation. Actually, concepts are composed of colo...
How is that an answer to my question? I need an answer to show that we aren't talking past each other and that we are both using the same definition f...
Exactly what I said. Christian theists are atheists when it comes to the definition of g/G provided by the ancient Greeks and Romans, but theists when...
If the meaning of words were how they are used, and the the way we are taught the meaning of words is by using them to point to things in the world, n...
How can one be agnostic of the existence of some thing when that thing hasn't been adequately defined? It seems to me that "agnosticism", "theism" and...
If "she" (so much for steering away from gender-binary terms) recognized that the penis is part of "her" then why would she want to remove it? Why wou...
Dude, you're entire post is a red herring. From your own link: A construct is a hypothesized cause for a certain behavior. It is a mental category tha...
Ask the grown Indian man. How would you feel if I referred to you as something that you aren't? How would you feel if I called you a child? How is "fo...
Sure it is. How is "fondness" a type of harm, or unjust action based on some preconceived notion that isn't based on reason? How is seeing a group of ...
It's not the same. (1) is about people in general regardless of race, while (2) is implying that only blacks do worse in their later lives when not ra...
Racism is defined as: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is...
This is the best part of the whole post. In other words you might have to take the time to make your argument concise and detailed and have to answer ...
Right, so maybe we should take a step back and remember what the title of this thread is: Why are We Back-Peddling on Racial Color-Blindness? Without ...
I've already pointed to the disparity between people that are raised in a two parent home with a more cohesive family and those that aren't. Are you s...
That has nothing to do with the argument I was making. Can you have a shared expectation about what a willy necessitates and what it doesn't if there ...
I keep asking for solutions. If using race as the reason to provide government benefits is what got us here, then why is the solution that they are su...
https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2018/11/16/racial-disparity-cities-worst-metro-areas-black-americans/38460961/ It looks like the Midwest is where...
That wasn't my argument. You aren't taking time to read and digest what I'm saying. You just have this knee-jerk emotional reaction to what I say and ...
Then the FHA is still racist? Did Obama know this when he was president? Did he know that Chicago is one of the worse places for African-Americans? Do...
First, I never conceded that "gender" is a social construction. What I'm doing is taking that idea and showing the illogical implications of that idea...
Poor Banno is still confused about the difference between how what is in your underpants scientifically/objectively (not culturally/subjectively) iden...
I thought I was using the phrase the same way everyone else was - recognizing the race of an individual for a particular reason. Per , The FHA "notice...
:meh: But this is 2019. What are the racist institutions in 2019? Are you saying the FHA is still racist today? Did it take this long for you to point...
Right, so when I show you that you're wrong and don't know what you're talking about your tactic is to then say it doesn't have anything to do with wh...
We went over this already. If "gender" isn't about sex, then what is "gender"? You defined "gender" as a social construction. "Social construction" is...
Of course I care if it's true. I answer your questions because I seek out criticism of my ideas in order to fine tune them. You're not returning the f...
Exactly. Societies have different established social rules on what women should do, not what makes one a woman. Those rules are sexist because they pu...
I wouldn't say it like that. Society, at whatever level, is involved in forming assumptions and expectations about the identities of individual humans...
What are the names of the institutions? Aren't there institutions that are socially dominated by blacks in the U.S.? So, what is the solution to this ...
