Ahh, well yes. Not something I know a lot about. But is there a historical example of people behaving differently?
March 17, 2020 at 03:17
What exactly are you referring too? There was going to be some form of nervous behavior. Buying toilet paper in bulk is harmless enough. I see social ...

Maybe it's fake news.

Start typing.

Interesting publication. I can not find any evidence of that. It's not in the DSM. But this is not the thread for that conversation. But thanks for th...

Are you sure that is the motive?
March 02, 2020 at 00:09
Like TDS?

Thanks, that is a very useful site. Of course, then that asks how many of the seasonal influenza deaths were preventable with the proper care which wo...

Nothing hard about it. But you were talking about panic. Two percent or twenty can be the same deaths depending on sample size of those infected. It's...

But there are far more cases than with SARS and MERS. The Corona death toll is now more than those two combined.

I don't think Trump will agree to debate. He has said as much. Why would he risk it?
February 22, 2020 at 08:32
Michael Avenatti is facing forty some years in prison. Will Barr or Trump have a more lenient sentencing guideline to offer?:grin:
February 14, 2020 at 22:26
I don't think Trump will debate. He can't possibly look competent. He might just say they are rigged and be done with it.

The combination of NOS4A2 and your profession was too satisfying a conclusion. I apologizes.
February 12, 2020 at 06:18
Sorry, wrong person

Oh Shit! Are you a lawyer? Okay, never mind. Goodnight.

I was just bored and felt like typing something. You are indefeasible. Go on reading your rebuttals.
February 12, 2020 at 05:55
You made the claim.
February 12, 2020 at 05:33
What makes this true? The media?

DOJ is accepting evidence from Giuliani while Giuliani is being investigated by the DOJ?

I'm a little confused here. I thought that truth was un-analyzable. That, given any truth, one occupies a position to ask "Well how do you know that's...

Doxastic Voluntarism is a philosophical view that people elect their own beliefs. That is, that subjects have a certain amount of control over what th...

And yet, we are social animals. We do not flourish in solitude. We need human contact like we need food. Perhaps the chatbot provides an easy candy (f...
November 14, 2019 at 02:18
Humans have a tendency to go for the small but certain pleasures. Very reliable. Would we become more inclined to hear the always reassuring chatbot m...
November 12, 2019 at 19:22
Not to be cynical, but do we really know when some one genuinely cares about our troubles? Certainly there can be many motives and many filters. At so...

And of course critical thinking is an impediment to marketing to the consumer. And we must consume.
November 09, 2019 at 18:51
Indeed. Too great a threat to religious indoctrination. You probably didn't get to study critical thinking either.

So ABC news is not fake?
October 09, 2019 at 00:28
So the Washington Post is not fake news?
October 04, 2019 at 17:58
Apparently not true. https://abovethelaw.com/2019/09/trump-impeachment-hearsay/

This claim is rhetoric. "People would rather" implies that there is a clear binary choice and the people are taking the illogical or disreputable one....

Teaching critical thinking in schools would create a discriminating consumer. Nobody sees any profit in that.
September 23, 2019 at 01:37
Wouldn't this be a case where any meaning would necessarily be deferred, delayed, and distributed?(Derrida)
January 10, 2019 at 01:42
excellent analysis.
December 12, 2018 at 18:16
I agree. Perhaps truth is just a social cooperation strategy so we can get on with a common task.

Bitter Crank has summed it up nicely.

"purpose" as in a teleological actor?
July 11, 2018 at 02:51
Maybe I see what you mean; that we, as egos (operating systems), cannot (are not entitled to) co-opt revealed truth, as validation of our progress tow...
July 03, 2018 at 08:51
What then does possess worth that is separate from it's own truth? Perhaps I am missing the point. I'll re read the OP.
July 02, 2018 at 23:44
OK, I see that. But I don't see how the cure gets formulated. It begins to sound circular; a true critique of truth? We must index to something. What ...

Does cognitive dissonance leave you any better? or fallacious reasoning? or reductive?
July 02, 2018 at 22:52
Which is a fine dinner but a poor breakfast. Do we make a world of progression or procession?
June 27, 2018 at 02:41
You seem to be bogged down in your own self judgement. Abortion being murder seems central to your appraisal. This is settled law to you, what can we ...
