https://www.vn.nl/rising-sea-levels-netherlands/ If you have children, read this to them tonight at bedtime.

Because climate change and sea-level rise are a hoax.

I Googled it but failed to find a scientific study addressing the effects of climate change on sea-level rise in the Netherlands.

That's not a scientific study. That's a wikipedia page having precisely zip to do with it. I control-F'ed "climate" and "rise" and - precisely zip. Sh...

Can you direct me to the scientific study suggesting the Netherlands should be half-underwater?

Is that all?

Interesting take.

I suppose you think Trump (and his motley band of all-grown-ups) the paragon of rationality. What precisely do you find irrational in Greta's plea?

Whalon appears to be affording god an existential status categorically different from the existence of people, objects, "things in the universe." Agai...

Thanks.

Truth as basic, unanalyzable.

The above appears to be the nuts and bolts of the paper.

Davidson's self-criticism may be the best place to start: From "Afterthoughts" (1987) It's unfortunate that Davidson neglects to provide us with a rev...

Thanks. I've been enjoying your posts. Welcome to the forum.

Can you clarify this? What kind of sufficiency do you mean?

Sounds reasonable. Wondering if the others agree.

Thanks for the clear and thoughtful prose. No allergies to Heidegger etc here. Looks like an interesting interpretation. As I mentioned above, I'm mov...

Thanks for the thoughtful response. Moving through the book slowly. Not much to say yet.

Still mulling over the significance of Davidson's rejection of conceptual schemes. I'd be interested to hear some new thoughts on the questions below:...

Haha. Nicely turned.

Controlled by matter, with death as the objective. The atoms gave permission when they conspired to create the sex drive.

As you're no doubt aware - having spent so much time on the forums - it's a rare thing for a mind to be ahubristic and circumspect enough to draw a di...

Interesting stuff. Thanks for doing the work. I don't have much in the way of a response. I'm not much of a logician myself. Interested to see what ou...

Belief seems just as potent in creating a kind of weltanschauung-relativism. Different people believe the world fits best into such and such a belief ...

There was a ton more but that's a good place to start. Any thoughts?

If the essence of a conceptual scheme can be located in a far-ranging belief, are we back to square one? Back to an essentially (although a belief- ra...

It's too much to re-type. Again: It's above, if you're genuinely interested in a dialogue.

Thanks. I did find that one... More interested in psychology and sociology...

Are you familiar with other active forums? Sociology, psychology, history, literature? I've had a search but no luck.

They're above. Have a look if you'd like to respond in good faith.

I did want to. But you ignored all my objections. Now you're back to defending T-sentences again...

Especially when your position is so counter-intuitive...

Maybe if this was a formal debate where the interest is in winning. The fact that far more brilliant minds than our own take issue with it should be e...

Slingshot argument. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/facts/slingshot-argument.html It looks really cute and interesting.
