It's about propositions. Let's not change the goal post.

I can materially stop anyone from entering my home. Unless the guy comes with loads of guns, he is not crashing my barbeque.

Article L. 1111-4 of the French Public Health Code, which stipulates: “that no medical act and no treatment can be practiced without the free and info...

I'm just not going to invite him at the barbecue, as simple as that. That is something I can control, but I cannot control my neighbors' medical treat...

I understand it as a law principle that says that your body is yours to decide about. I cannot decide to alter your body in any way, because it's your...
October 04, 2021 at 15:02
Yes but you cannot control everything, and it's not all about me and my dear ones. People need to make a living, kids need to mingle, and people are a...

That is true, in France and Italy as well, and COVID may be put on the list. And children do stay out of school if their parents don't want to vaccina...

Thanks for the clue. Yes, the fear of being dependent on labs and lab technicians for regular shots, that may protect you but also may affect you. Art...
October 04, 2021 at 14:44
I agree with that. Vaccination must remains a choice and cannot be made mandatory for the general public. They can antivaccinate all they like, for wh...
October 04, 2021 at 14:33
And why. Like, why do some people spend such a large part of their life arguing that Pi is a rational number, or that perpetual movement ought to be p...
October 04, 2021 at 14:12
I have. You folks have a huge entitlement problem. You want every data to be handed to you free of cost, and all the analysis done, and with convincin...

It is your responsibility to assess the risks you are taking with your and other people's lives, not @"Xtrix"'s responsibility. If the numbers must be...

in order to be propositions.
October 04, 2021 at 12:52
You can play nice with anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers and the likes -- it's doable as long as you don't give a shit -- but they won't play nice with you,...
October 04, 2021 at 12:51
Let me proselytize a little more. To think of knowledge as a commodity, like salt or copper, a thing that can exist irrespective of whether human bein...
October 04, 2021 at 12:32
Bis repetitas placent. And I cannot let it be said that it is antirealist to point out that propositions have to be proposed...
October 04, 2021 at 12:19
In any case, it is NOT a realist point of view IMNSHO to imagine that ideas can exist independently of actual people having them, in some platonic rea...
October 04, 2021 at 12:11
As explained: some people know about the existence of proposition p.

?
October 04, 2021 at 12:05
On the contrary, it would be unrealistic to assume that there can exist English sentences that nobody speaking any English has ever composed or crafte...
October 04, 2021 at 12:00
Likewise, you aversion towards classic moral categories such as good and evil is probably due to some mistake in your education, or perhaps some brain...
October 04, 2021 at 11:41
Okay so you interpret Kp as "It is believed that p is true" or "It is known that p is true". For me it only means: "p is known", i.e. some people know...
October 04, 2021 at 11:35
"Primitive" in your sentence codes for "evil", right?
October 04, 2021 at 11:31
And what? That's evil? As I said, ignore evil at your peril.
October 04, 2021 at 11:05
So you would like to be treated like an animal?
October 04, 2021 at 10:38
How do you read "Kp"?
October 04, 2021 at 10:30
Indeed, and I am talking about knowing that there is a false proposition. What are you talking about?
October 04, 2021 at 10:08
You know the proposition "the earth is flat". Otherwise you couldn't talk about it...
October 04, 2021 at 10:05
What are you sorry about, honey-bunny?
October 04, 2021 at 09:56
Evil exists. We ignore it at our peril.
October 04, 2021 at 09:54
Argument made already. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/603520
October 04, 2021 at 09:53
You are a child, whether you are aware of it or not. You lack maturity. And you keep bitching petulantly about others. Stop bitching and start listeni...
October 04, 2021 at 09:41
Good piece. The repukes have managed to politicize a medical issue into yet another identity crisis. So now any wako who thinks of himself as republic...

Trump?
October 04, 2021 at 09:16
Did you manage to understand that Fitch can be extended to false propositions, or not yet?
October 04, 2021 at 09:02
I am not in the habit of talking to people who don't pay attention, sorry.

For those who confuse gentlemen with pacifists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf16WUYLfpQ
October 04, 2021 at 08:41
Indeed, it doesn't look like you can.
October 04, 2021 at 08:19
It's not about sentences. It's about propositions. And propositions are proposed.
October 04, 2021 at 07:45
Everything is not known. But every existing proposition has been proposed by someone or another, by definition of what a proposition is. Thus every pr...
October 04, 2021 at 07:16
Contrarian to what, exactly?
October 04, 2021 at 07:04
I do believe that.
October 04, 2021 at 06:53
Well, maybe you'll get it one day, if you decide to apply your mind to it.
October 04, 2021 at 06:52
¬p can be stated as "p is false". q = ¬p q?Kq therefore ¬p?K¬p = all false propositions are known propositions. This is elementary, really. Reason for...
October 04, 2021 at 06:44
That seems a different case than that of an unknown proposition: a known proposition whose truth value is yet unknown. There are many many examples of...

Some people have no decency and they don't deserve to be treated decently. They are just assholes.
October 04, 2021 at 06:24
So it's computer language. That's why is sounds odd in regular English.
October 03, 2021 at 20:44
Okay so you're not quite sure whether it's true or not that "QMCVNBOO" is lexically prior to "SHXCBJYN" now? As formulated, the statement is a bit unc...
October 03, 2021 at 19:58
So who is doing the proposing then?
October 03, 2021 at 19:45
We've been through this. A proposition needs to be proposed as a true representation. Otherwise it is at best a sentence. You do all the proposing, yo...
