Because a proposition is a statement that is proposed as a fair or accurate representation of some state of affairs. If your computer doesn't understa...
And you could claim that it's true but it could still be false. Makes no difference anyway. There is no such a thing as an unknown proposition, whethe...
In assuming that this applies only to true propositions. In fact it applies to any proposition, true or not. An unknown proposition is an unproposed p...
I have edited the post for clarity. I do agree that we're done with this tangent, in that whether machines can be 'proposers' or not makes no differen...
This is your take. Mine is that we have to suppose understanding for there being a proposer. But irrespective of which perspective you take, whether m...
Well then, that thing is the proposer. If your computer is proposing a proposition, it is the proposer of this proposition. That's only because you li...
There is no force in the world that can convince you to accept some data that you want to reject. Try and talk to a holocaust denier or a 9/11 truther...
Not sure where that leads you. It makes no difference whatsoever to my argument that there is no such thing as an unknown proposition... If computers ...
But we mean it, when we do so. A mere recording or mechanical production of a sentence cannot invest meaning in that sentence. And a sentence without ...
It's not. It's the core of my argument that by coding in this phrase "is lexically prior to", you created a pattern your computer would follow to comp...
Okay, it's definitely an interesting / illuminating example so let us dig a bit. If my sister's doll was not saying "j'ai faim" but instead "This is a...
Right. So when my little sister's doll used to say "Maman" and "J'ai faim", it was not just playing a recording? It was actually stating the propositi...
I think point 1 is easy to deal with: we don't already know reality (or not all of the things we want to know about reality) before we aquire some dat...
Indeed, first you define a class of propositions of the type X > Y. This implies the assumption or definition of an ordinal (classified, indexed) set,...
The key is to remember that a statement not in existence cannot be true or false. It needs to exist first. i.e. be stated. Then and only then can it b...
You think your machine proposed this proposition? But how can it be, when the machine has no clue what it proposes? The machine just organizes ink on ...
Right. But if truth can only be propositional, then the Fitch is a non starter. Propositions need to be proposed before they can be true or not true. ...
Technically, you don't need to be an American republican to be a cretin (though it helps). All you need is to swallow their lies. You see, you all pro...
Oh they do: they are the Darwinian heroes who survive because they are fit for survival. Or not... Many of them actually die. But the Covid contrarian...
If I name it, I make it propositional. But okay, maybe you are right. Truths are descriptions of some state of affairs, therefore there is not such th...
Nope. The procedure only makes sense if truth can only be expressed in words. It's begging the question. You haven't been able to make yours either. O...
Would that make any sense though? If truth must be in the form of a proposition, then there is no unknown truth because there's no such thing as a rea...
Oh I'm sure none of them ever lied, nor did you, ever.... My money is on a very different idea than yours: a good number of COVID contratians are of t...
You're welcome not to answer my questions but I will keep asking them, if you don't mind too much. So you've spoken to many of them antivaxxers and, a...
A truth is not necessarily a proposition. If truth exists out there in the wild (if truth is out there), it may not be phrased in the form of neat Eng...
Anyone can question the motive of anyone else but it takes a huge sense of entitlement and some intellectual laziness to ask me to question my own mot...
