I am essentially in agreement. However, for me it is not a problem to categorize all beliefs as ideological and all decisions as ideologically based. ...
Though I like reasoning with: -- and hope that conversation continues; I think it is adjacent to the main issue most people have (and I'm sure you wou...
These are not distinctions that are relevant to what I am talking about. At any given moment, a broad "left-center-right" political spectrum can be pa...
Yes, my comments above I don't really expect anyone to be disagreeing with; my interest in this conversation has been mainly to clarify diction that, ...
Yes, I understood you were trying to point out some absurd logical terminus. However, by pointing out centrism is not an ideology in itself, is not ad...
Yes, I misunderstood your question, it seems uncontroversial to me that parents signup to a large part of the ideology of the society they are in when...
Never trusted by whom? I think we would agree here that "they were never blindly trusted by people properly training in reasoning and the scientific m...
This is the exact process I am describing, you are simply using "ideology" as short hand for "my ideology is right". Living off of sunlight is not tri...
Some people really believe it's possible to subsist without eating and that various gurus have accomplished it. "Eating to live" is very much an ideol...
Your question seems a conundrum if you interpret ideology as "simply ideas that people choose to believe" but ultimately has no justification really i...
The first thing I said was compromise is apart of democracy. I'm fully willing to compromise if what is lost in strife is greater than what is gained ...
I can't stand this this sort of enlightened centrism claptrap, but I'm happy you stand with me against it. Agreed, together we are much stronger in br...
Sure, I don't mind not debating the substance, as is your desire. When your desire changes, I'll look into it. You ask where the ideas have been had b...
As for the request of the OP, This seems incompatible with the content of your essay which concludes there is "a much better chance of getting closer ...
Though I think 's point is a useful exercise, I'd like to criticize the premise that "justice can hurt society sometimes". If you mean "hurt" in a som...
There is no violation of the principle. We are exceptional in our local neighborhood (compared to Mars, Venus ... and perhaps the entire galaxy), but ...
Yes, I understand your argument structure, what I am pointing to is a lack of principles to decide what "other feature they possess" are and on what b...
Yes, we are very much in agreement. Whereas most of the environmental movement has embraced an even more urban vision of the future, I am working to d...
I'm not sure what this analysis. I have never heard a criticism of finitism that it is complex for applied applications. The whole point of finitism i...
I think you're overestimating how big "thousands of words are"; it seems fairly common on the forum to see posts thousands of words long, unless by th...
Yes, I think this is the normal situation and what I was expecting. But now I believe the task is even more difficult as one now needs to explain to h...
I agree this solves the problem, and this is for me the essence of what I've called conceptual inversion. Starting calculus with uncountable digit exp...
Yes, I completely agree with your thoughts here. And if things just continued like they are now (in terms of our social conditions), then I think suff...
Yes, I agree with you here. I'm not against touching on the infinity subject; there could be a whole class on it for students wanting to go into pure ...
I'm not building with infinite integers, I'm building with the infinite decimal expansion representation of real numbers and simply pruning off the de...
Yes, we're in agreement. And, as I mentioned in the OP, I also agree with your position that there's no "problem" in the real number system, axiom of ...
The whole point of my post is that high school students would have no way of stating their questions succinctly as you demand, but they are in my view...
More or less. There are alternative foundations, but set theory is the main one. This is also true for applied mathematics. Applied mathematics also h...
Yes, this is basically what I am advocating, though with much heavier emphasis on the applied part in secondary school (and applied maths will still h...
It's in no way absurd. Plenty of people have written thousands of words to make an argument. I also have zero problem with you not making such a case;...
Yes, did you even read my post, this is my complaint. I have no issue with real numbers "existing" in whatever sense mathematicians using the real num...
Yes, this sort of thing is essentially what I mean by depending on our present institutions. In this case, (some) representatives of capital are start...
Being unable to defend many arguments does not a stronger argument make. If lack of consent is a problem, switching to the suffering argument does not...
This isn't a well formulated point. There can always be "worse". That being said, we have already dealt severe damage to the ecosystems in terms of bi...
Where do I say that? You say: As mentioned in my first response, I don't see how this claim is supported by some context, but please explain how it is...
Please, show how the context changes the meaning of the four lines I am debating against. I agree with your previous statements setting up the problem...
This is simply not true. I know an artist that doesn't sell any of her original work, only prints; she simply doesn't put a price on the originals; sh...
I don't think we're in much disagreement here. Of course we could get into the ethics of evaluating forum participation, for instance on what basis wo...
Even if you are right, what is it to me? what is it to you? If the content is not appropriate, it is a question for the moderators, and I need not tro...
If they are not the same, it's not circular, they simply depend on each other to be understood. There is no proof of theorem being offered that could ...
Based on just what you report here, my guess would be you have conflated accessible and possible. Accessible I would assume means expressible; the sta...
No offense taken. It's a digression if you want to talk about Marx, but framing something as "baseless out of date" is unclear if you want to talk abo...
I don't think we're in disagreement here. I clarify Marx on the forum when others bring up Marx, but I generally don't bring up Marx myself in talking...
Which is why I asked you to clarify what you meant by socialism. Most people do not qualify socialist as referring to the the leaders of dictatorships...
Yes, that's why I say you didn't need to preamble with a digression about Marxism, just talk about the article, but if you do preamble about Marx then...
But this is what Marx is talking about: capital accumulation has no natural balance, market transactions are not fair (favour the owners of capital) a...
But who are you talking about? If you're talking about Stalin, sure. If you're talking about every single person that has tried to unionize (take some...
I agree it is also a prerogative, a chastisement as you say; my elaboration was is simply to clarify that it's not prerogative in a way we understand ...
