What are you actually saying? 15 philosophers that are more important? Or 15 more than Wittgenstein? I can't do the former, because there aren't all t...
Oh please. I'm absolutely convinced you don't know what that word means, and you're just upset because I used the wrong word. Literally what Derrida p...
In a manner of speaking. I believe in a Universal Consciousness which underlies all individual consciousnesses. And I also believe in inanimate object...
Then, maybe your problem is the word "arbitrary" and not actually the argument I'm making. Do you know what it means to be ad hoc? Or arbitrary? Do yo...
Because that's all I can, and perhaps ever will, experience. It's the same as anybody else. Why would you believe in Dualism or Pluralism? "Don't mult...
You're right. I DID. I keep saying that. Jacques Derrida makes the argument that all language is arbitrary. There are no words that self-define themse...
Right. But what about a tournament held 4000 years in the future? Do you really think it would play out the same way it does today? Is online chess, s...
I mean, I read him. And I've made it pretty clear I don't agree with Wittgenstein. So I don't see why you keep saying I don't know anything about him....
Okay? So if you're missing a King piece and you decide to use a pawn instead, it's not chess anymore? You're really arguing for a Platonic form of che...
Wittgenstein believed two different things at two different times. So, even he didn't understand anything about Wittgenstein. But that doesn't matter....
You're totally missing the point. You made a statement about chess' "universality" which is a metaphysical statement about how chess always is and alw...
Like, any of them. Because any possible alien will not play chess "universally" like we do. That's silly. There's no planet in the ether where some al...
Within the logic of that game, you cannot. But you can change the game's logic. The game's logic is arbitrary. There's no law of nature that says ches...
That's basically the same thing as being arbitrary. I can play a language game where a word means something you eat on a hot sunny day, or I can play ...
Actually, they do. Calling a word "word" as opposed to "logoi" or "kalam" or "mot" or "slova" is arbitrary. Totally and completely. God didn't make En...
And? Science was a form of natural philosophy. Newton called himself a philosopher, so did Galileo. Words are arbitrary descriptions. They call Wittge...
It's not Solipsism. I didn't say my consciousness in particular was the only thing that existed. I said consciousness in the general. This is a classi...
Most important? I don't know about that. One of them. 20th century had dozens of important philosophers. I think Werner Heisenberg was more important ...
I'm not totally onboard with that either. I mean, there are factors which swing the world one direction or the other that are unrelated to humans. Lik...
I think there is an order in the universe. But not in society. Society is a construct of the machinations of the elites who run it and the dumb herd w...
Well, I think there is no perfect. But I couldn't give a rat's tail whether people agree to it or not. Consent of the governed doesn't really matter t...
The way you write confuses me, so I don't know what you mean. Not very clear in your writing. I think the Critique of Pure Reason is easier than your ...
Uh, except there are literally documents which show that there are things that are planned. Many of them. For example, the 1954 coup in Guatemala was ...
No, but the Illuminati had a role to play. Just as Rockefellers, Morgans, Rothschilds, Cecil Rhodes, the British Empire, radical revolutionaries etc. ...
No. Physical evidence is just a abstract concept. It's not an actual thing. 'Physical evidence' is just as metaphysical as 'God' or 'soul' is. What sc...
You can't prove it objectively either, because objective means self-evident. It's obviously not "self-evident" to me that I don't exist, and only you ...
No. You can model a system that produces infinities. But you cannot actually create an abstract thing that is infinite. That's a different thing. I me...
Of course we do. It's all we have. Literally. There is nothing that can be understood, known or experienced outside of consciousness. Therefore, consc...
There is a massive difference between totalitarianism, and the belief that the average person has the capacity to govern a country. I don't believe in...
No, I didn't prove that at all. That's totally a non-sequitur. So, just because I use language doesn't mean I created English does it? Obviously not. ...
lol So, Kurt Godel who was one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century didn't know propositional calculus existed? Who's more likely to be ...
Democracy is silly. And America is a Republic, not a democracy. Though, that too, is silly. It's not semantics. There are very serious differences bet...
Actually, the ancients really took a while to grasp the concept of nothing. Basically zero is the only coherent understanding of nothing that has ever...
Nobody knows. We have a lot of linguists working on it. A lot of what you're asking sort of assumes Neo-Darwinism. I would personally bet that languag...
1) How would a Keynesian and Classical economist differ in their view of government spending and aggregate demand and aggregate supply? 2) I have a pr...
Communism is perfect in theory, but terrible in practice. And it's terrible in practice because a) it was bankrolled by capitalism from the beginning,...
3. The whole economic bread and circuses was just that, an illusion. This system is as fragile as it's ever been. The economic system is for the elite...
Blamed? It's in their Constitution. The Illuminati were actually the apotheosis of the whole revolutionary Enlightenment political ethic. The whole id...
Yes I do. Freemasons come out of the Enlightenment, and base themselves on Hermetic and Esoteric philosophy. Manly P. Hall, a great intellectual and p...
