From what I've heard and read what really matters is whether or not you went through puberty as a boy or girl. Once you undergo androgenization you wi...
I see what you are saying. I am saying that according to your empty definition of man, which can be carried over to woman I would think, could give co...
I mean anybody who identifies as a woman at all. The conclusion from what you posted is that anyone, even if they aren't a transgender woman, who iden...
And what conclusions should we draw? A man is anyone who identifies as a man? Is "man" a totally vacuous label? What about women? Should men who ident...
When I say that I mostly mean that each man and woman possess characteristics that are - to them at least - necessary to their gender expression if tr...
You are obviously trying to be a douche. The vast majority of soldiers are not murderers and should not be treated like murderers. Unless they actuall...
Actually, yes, I do think that those who want to be soldiers are often the best cut out for it. But not always. I specifically remember a kid I ate lu...
Yeah, I couldn't hope to express how high the cost many soldiers pay is. I think many of them even have trouble expressing it, which kind of hints tow...
Did we honestly expect that? Like I'm sure there are men who have been drafted and that served as soldiers that then became philosophers, or were phil...
I had to google that to see if you weren't messing with me with those book titles. I'm sure she gives the topic the respect it deserves. I would say t...
Furthermore, I would love to hear from anyone who has served in the military. Please tell me if you think I'm wrong or right, or just an idiot. Or jus...
I just thought I'd clarify a few things: when I use the term "grunt", I mean it in the most loving way possible. I think anyone who serves as a low-ra...
Did anyone imply that there are no soldiers that have become - or are - philosophers? I can easily see many soldiers being or becoming philosophers, a...
Yeah, I was hoping for the same thing. It would be a better comparison if we were given orders and were being shot at, like what might happen to an ac...
I guess his intentions are not obvious - nor do they really matter, as he's not even alive to be derogated. We might as well interpret him as we pleas...
Yeah. Great post. Kipling isn't really my favorite for a number of reasons, but that one is good. edit: you added a part after I said I liked it, you ...
I am familiar with many soldiers adopting the label as a badge of honor, not as a derogatory term, and I'm kind of seeking to make the term attractive...
So it is false because we do have reasons, at least according to you? And yes, I understand that just because you accept it needs no reasons does not ...
No. Just because one does not make mention of P actually existing in expressing why they think P is true does not mean we shouldn't posit P. You make ...
This is one of your better arguments if I'm understanding it right. However: seems to miss. We have reason to believe things because we are capable of...
The argument made by the Students for Fair Admissions seems misguided. I don’t see how no one can be harmed regardless of whether affirmative action i...
I'm obviously in too deep here, I'll need to check out some actual mathematical logic books or something. Could you offer a starting point maybe? I ha...
Potentially good example, thanks. But: I disagree on the argument not making sense deductively (disregarding the hidden premise of the argument)*. Whi...
What could be said about an argument, A, whose premises include the entire set of the correct premises of sound argument B, and has the same conclusio...
I get that, I'm talking about a way to determine if said theorem can be understood by observing the proof. I do not deny the fact that the proof would...
Interesting. What if it applied conversely and allowed us to determine that the proof behind a principle or theorem assumed to be true couldn't be obs...
Thanks. You basically answered my question. If there was a way to determine if it is possible at all to observe or determine the proof behind a certai...
Is it possible to break down a deductively valid mathematical theorem into its constituent parts without knowing the actual argument that is going to ...
I mean we know the premises, but don't know the format of the argument. Such as whether it is modus tollens or ponens (if you couldn't just guess betw...
Assuming a more complex math problem, I think you would mean if the variables cancel out and you are left with an integer? Or maybe a rational number?...
That thread did little to elucidate anything; the only thing I saw that was relevant was the discussion of what it is "like" to be oneself holisticall...
Can you expand on what you mean by "incoherent"? And what is it with respect to? Propositions? Arguments? Sentences? Mathematical models? Experimental...
Can't. We would never be able to tell if a being that came to us was just ultra-powerful, or truly omnipotent. A sufficiently powerful being could jus...
You need to explain why omnipotence implies that God cannot deliberately select a measurable course of action. God could know that if they stimulate m...
It was a joke. So why wouldn't God's actions be measurable? It's like the walking/circle example I gave. Infinite choices doesn't imply that one canno...
