Mostly I'd agree, but one does have the the left wing trying to censor Fox. Last week Tucker Carlson called for war on Mexico, ok maybe this is new to...
Well that depends on from where you are looking at the problem. Maybe from your view PC is overblown by the far right. But for people outside the USA ...
I don't think that's true in the USA. Today the administration announced that all visa applications, including those simply for tourism, will have to ...
One could go in that direction, but it would be more fruitful to consider the diagnosed schizophrenic as being in the ideal position to play language ...
Russell's criticism still applies. Just because he says his neighbor is a spy does not mean he actually believes his neighbor is a spy, even if he is ...
When I worked in a psychiatric hospital, we had one person diagnosed as schizophrenic who would cite a list of all the spies he had seen during the ni...
I think the fallacies with objectivism should be taught, especially in the USA, but there are other problems. I returned to community college to do so...
the total amount of deaths from guns since 9/11 passed half a million in May 2017. This was from September 2016, at which time guns had killed a thous...
Im sorry this is a rare occasion I have to disagree. Currently Trump is deliberately repressing the stock market in the hope that removal of some of t...
Of course you may also have the last word, as i say, no point arguing, you wont change your mind because of anything I say, it's not like I havent tri...
Another problem is that accidents with guns, which are rising dramatically, such that involuntary homicide will be more frequent than murder in 2022. ...
I don't seen much point in arguing the point, because its main proponent, Rand, also believes that the only point of a concept is to conquer others. S...
No. People with ambition and determination rarely elevate their nations unless forced to, because elevating others involves their own loss. Then the n...
the problem has four elements. First, if you are to focus on killing alone, then it is very clear from FBI statistics that the majority of homicides i...
What I tried to tell you, which you don't seem particularly inclined to hear, was that Pan, who was the God of everything, was not worshipped because ...
I read the both in the original languages. The romans liked what you call 'low cunning.' They admired it. Thats my point. Virgil tried to be ironic ab...
That's Hollywood's misconception, not historical fact. After all Hollywood was founded to glorify war, and has done so ever since, with ever better sp...
Maybe it helps to consider the difference between morality and law. Law defines what is right and wrong; moriality defines what is good and bad. There...
Well, the ladedaimonikans agreed with that, but most of the Greek city states preferred the struggle of commerce to the struggle of war. The Greeks al...
I must agree, my mother decided to live with a vegan poet for a while, who wanted no fences around cattlefields, because cows should be able to walk w...
I don't know if Anaximander expressed an opinion on the end of the world. He thought the world was the center of the universe. From an entropic view, ...
Well so far I only stated one, which was Anaximander's first theory: because the universe is primarily ordered, chaos is transient. Therefore chaotic ...
Well as a classification system, its the same as Eichler's taxonomy of species. If you think it's wrong, you change the classification. So you are rig...
i was wondering, with the recent news that Kushner and Ivanka made 82 million last year, whether anyone knows anything at all they did for the nation ...
What I said is that Pan and Gaia were not worshipped. What I said was there were no pantheists or gaians. There were no temples to Pan and Gaia. They ...
Yes, modern iditots impose many suppositions on the beliefis of the ancient greeks, among them, ideas of cults of panthesists and gaians. There were m...
I couldnt say exactly where this Gaian perspective came from except perhaps Star Trek In anceint Greece, pantheists believed there was one god for eve...
It seems to me there has been no attempt to systemize them as Lavoisier for the periodic table, or Eichler's taxonomy of species. You are right it's n...
there's many problems with this, most typically, the Santa Claus problem. There are many cases where facts do not define what we ought to believe. And...
What you are trying to do is like arguing whether photons really exist. Maybe they do, maybe they don't. Sometimes models representing light as partic...
If you're asking me, I think Anaximander was right. The Apeiron is primarily ordered, so predictions are possible. But they only appear to be predicti...
What you are doing is like confusing mathematics, numeric quantities, and equations. The field of mathematics, which is a domain of science, defines a...
Now one may wonder whence Anaximander's thought derived. We do not believe he had much handed down to him from prior philosophers, such as Heraclitus....
That's actually a segue to the second part of Anaximander's model. Because it encompasses more than the physical world, it does not regard the nature ...
A model defines relationships between concepts, which enable predictions of events. Like a computer program, a model does not 'claim {subtext ASSERT T...
no a second time, it is one step above claim, it is the model. The model makes no claims. It is an abstract but ordered construction, like mathematics...
No, that is Anaximander's first proposition, or assertion, in his model of how the universe that we experience derives, or fits within, the boundless,...
As I say, its only a model. It can't be correct or incorrect. Your statement shows little understanding for the philosophy of science. One uses models...
Well that means Heidegger believes that terror is due to mistakes. Kierkegaard's point is that fear is a natural reaction to God, who intentionally do...
K's point is, that does not redeem God of what He did to Abram. The poor guy was getting his cart ready, and putting something in it for his son to si...
hm, well that was K's point, that God requires such things of even the most devout. The Jewish God did not particularly redeem the problem by telling ...
True. On the other hand, though, Kierkegaard's 'Sicknesws unto Death' does explain how God inflicts the same type of thing on even his most devout fol...
That's true, but I also have to agree with other posters that only deduction can be known for certain, and that Hume was right to say, in cases of inf...
