Of course the bad guys may react, as we may react to their invasion of Ukraine. Assholes are not the only ones entitled to react, if you think about i...

This is your entry for the short story competition thread, right? Reads like science fiction to me.

In Kherson, a life at Russian time The southern Ukrainian city fell quickly and without a fight to the Russians. Moscow accelerates the Russification ...

Australia will help the Kurds.

Bomb Ukrainian babies, of course. That will help a lot.

Yes. Fitch is just poor logical formalism (or poor English) passing for a paradox. @"Janus" and others made the same point. I must admit I did not und...

Right. Thanks for the clarification. Yes, that's perfectly fine. My solution is to add the time variable to the formalism. Knowledge evolves over time...

Excellent. I made a similar remark on a related thread sometime back, about yet unproposed propositions. Although I think @"Michael" avoids this speci...

You mean, all this savage Russian bombing stems from the sorrow of not being loved by Western countries?

Is that true, though?

I would think that truth has an important psychological dimension; we (minds) cannot exist without a concept of truth. Even folks who think they have ...

Fixed.

Yes, something like that. Poor logical formalism. The paradox is about the capacity to learn, to know not some truth at time t and then to know it at ...

I make the rules.

You should introduce a difference in time, t1 and t2, to account for the progression of knowledge that is assumed in your ?. E.g. 3. ??x?t2(Kxt2(p ? ¬...

This is where I think the mathematical formalism is missing something important: the time variable. Knowledge is not static. You are talking of a proc...

It does have a bearing, but you are not interested, which is fine.

Someone, somewhere, at some point in time has some knowledge. If one treats knowledge as a tick-the-box thing, as a feature or commodity, as a mathema...

I think it does. To be known is NOT a quality intrinsic to things, therefore 'an unknown truth' or a 'known truth' have no clear meaning. They are not...

And someone else at another time would have a different knowledge. So there's no such thing as 'a truth known', or 'a truth unknown', in the absolute....

Known by whom, and when? To know is an action done by people, and not a passive state of affairs. Some people know, some people don't. To be known is ...

The seeming paradox is due to adopting a point of view that lays outside of the world of human experience, outside of time and space, the POV of God. ...

You not here either.

Excuses are easy to find.

TBH, that was my first reaction. Now i think there's indeed an undercurrent of nihilism there, in the cultural background, though it does not follow t...
