The plastic bottle to my left is partially Windows 7? I don't think so brah. If panpsychism logic is true, follows that the components and materials o...

Only cuz he wants to avoid paying child support

Would you say every particle in the universe is at least slightly Windows 7 ?

Nice. :grin: Maybe post about it in the Currently reading thread?

Being persuaded your logic is wrong; persuading others their logic is wrong. Say your understanding of something is off-base: how is it wise to ignore...

So therefore, doubt here simply means 'uncertainty' -- questions are uncertainties -- the asking of a question involves trust in the certainties of li...

That makes sense. The arrogance is still pretty weird, though. All the same, math noobs like myself can learn a bit from the counter-effort. This thre...

Na, I'm just mining it for knowledge rather than being an asshole.

I disagree. Just because he's illogical doesn't mean his psychology isn't interesting. He's yet to answer the question I posed most likely because it ...

News is mentioned enough to make it more specific I thought, but, yeah, kind of misleading to conflate it with 'communication mediums'. How is 'news m...

Good point. The OP is pretty clearly specifying 'news media', however.

:up:

In that case, may I ask why you're arguing your position here? If you yourself can't be persuaded by others, what makes you think others will be persu...

Present day media is -- excuse my French -- fucked in the head. Popularist, biased, sensationalist, irrational, unresearched, lacking in nuance = the ...

I'm not sure consciousness is a quantity, but quality is a useful way of putting it. The contents of consciousness involve a quantity of concepts, whi...

Would you be able to expand on how trust in the language of a question involves doubt in asking it? That last post I wrote isn't worded well. Was atte...

Has anyone ever persuaded a change of an opinion or belief you've held? Are you solipsistic, by any chance?

How would you say doubt is implicit in a question? The OP seems to be looking into the limits of language specific to questions: "Where is the univers...

Meaning, the OP is ironically asking a meaningless question, as questions make no assumption of truth, merely they seek truth or falsehood in the answ...

Salivation achieved.

Quality read :) Sounds like it's addressing definition rather than whether the content of the illocution is logical, though? Maybe I read it wrong, bu...

Personally moved from militant atheism to a technical agnosticism after thinking about simulation theory. It's not impossible that we're our own god o...

What herbs? Any garnish?

Cheers for the link. Can questions not be categorised into sense, senseless, and nonsense? Seems like that's what the OP is asking.

Thanks Also thanks Is that because it's easier to understand or it's more specific to the OP?

@ Wittgenstein aficionados Is the Tractatus a good place for the OP to find a comprehensive answer?

Yep It's not wrong usage to call them political but it's not well appropriated in my opinion. Politics in developed populations is advanced enough to ...

Not sure I follow but it might be said that Art has a basis in the pattern trait, whereby it led to creativity with abstractions.

Inherently as in based in genetics? Like, would an island nation of 10 aborigines without knowledge of mass societies start engaging in machiavelliani...

Have your read 'Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari? ^ which seems fairly aligned with your question. The book chronicles the evolution of these in accessib...

Panpsychism is true in the vague sense that consciousness can be constructed from common elements, but the metaphysics is bullshit. Its credence relie...
