I see. Isn't refusing to make an action that would prevent starvation a choice however? If I was starving and a pie was in front of me, the act of not...
Hey Bob! Its been a while, glad to see you again. There are a few clarifications I feel you need to give to address this. 1. What is bad? What is bad ...
Yes, shameless plug, but a relevant one! https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/14044/knowledge-and-induction-within-your-self-context/p1 If you ha...
Then I misunderstood your argument, my apologies. True. My point is that there doesn't seem to be anything that necessarily points to a creator as a s...
What? No, I frame it in MY argument. If my argument is illogical, point it out. But you don't get to insist I use words, phrases, or OTHER people's ar...
Statistics are based on causality. Without causality, there is no reason and no limitations. What you might be confusing with anti-causality is 'limit...
If you're going on the fact of an intelligent designer, we need a base line of what 'intelligent' means. Can a dog create anything more complex then a...
The teleological argument for God is by far the best of the core 3, but it suffers from a crippling counter point. Essentially, you are saying people ...
If I note you made a clear appeal to authority, ask you to give some actual examples because its an innocent enough mistake to make, then you double d...
No, we're talking about hallucinatory as the more likely inductive possibility. You obviously did not read our full conversation over the life of this...
You didn't post any data, only that some scientist had written a book. You appealing to that without indicating what the argument or evidence is, is t...
No, that's an appeal to authority fallacy. Lets see what actual argument he gives and the evidence he provides for it. Its not a conviction, its a con...
You don't. But they aren't exclusive either. Prior to destruction, it is set in place that your replacement is similar to what comes before. Because e...
Right, we all get that. Where is your evidence that people's perceptions that they are real, means they are real? We've already given plenty of points...
The link was just a link to their book. I can find at least one person in a professional setting who will go to bat for anything. The only thing that ...
It is more than that. Your claim is objectively not a strong inductive argument, and you have objectively failed to present a good and cogent argument...
I'm scratching my head here TreatId. This is not induction. Induction is the belief that the next card which is drawn will be the jack of spades. The ...
Again, no one, and I mean no one, is saying that NDE's aren't real. This is the part you seem to keep glossing over. If a bunch of people have a hallu...
My apologies for the delay! I'm back and settled. You speak well and seem to understand the notion, so I'll only comment on a few points. Well stated....
Sam, I'm reading your future posts to others after our discussion ended, and an observation is that you don't address the criticisms people are levyin...
Certainly, there can be a lot of confusion around deduction vs induction as a context that often gets mistakenly applied to it is "truth". But deducti...
That's not what I said. Maybe it is true that David Copperfield really levitated that day. Its a given that what we subjectively experience may, or ma...
No, there has been subjective testimony in an uncontrolled setting. Objectively, that testimony has occurred. That does not mean that the perception o...
We have to prove this every time we make an argument. The proof is in the argument, not our past accomplishments. Very true. But you have to give an i...
I think at its most basic, justification is simply, "An answer to why I make my choice/conclusion". Justification can be deductive or inductive. In ge...
I wouldn't call this a riddle. This is a logic problem. They can be pretty fun to do, but there are countless online. https://www.brainzilla.com/logic...
That is a very nice compliment and I am humbled to see it. You have a keen and curious mind, and you've given me plenty to think on as well. Yes. I've...
This is not a forum exclusive to collegiates, this is a general public forum. I have no issue with being corrected or told new things. While he may ha...
If the long reply made you feel better, that's fine. You can't argue against how you come across to other people on a forum. Hopefully we'll have a be...
You do me or no one else favors here. We're having a discussion, and if you want to make a point, link or note your point. "Look at a textbook" is dis...
If he is using the term of implication to mean, "could lead to", then that's fine. I've already written on that on the first page. I did not catch tha...
https://people.cs.rutgers.edu/~elgammal/classes/cs205/implication.pdf "Different forms for implications p implies q is equivalent to If p then q q if ...
You misunderstand. A -> B is not implication as we may use it in English. In other words, "It being cloudy implies that it will rain soon," is not the...
I did not mean it to be condescending. I am a person who has learned over time that you can never assume anything about other people. So I talk to the...
Often times in logic or arguments, the solution is clear. What often happens is we use language with poor definitions. Thus people make assumptions or...
This is simply a language issue. What does 'impliciation' mean? That's why I went over all the different possibilities. In the end implication must me...
It was a bit of headox with a sentence like this: "If Carr is out, then we know this: "If Allen is out, then Brown is in", because there has to be som...
We have to be careful by what is meant by 'implies' In logic, the word, necessarily is used more often in these examples. "Necessarily leads to B" So ...
This is very important. Actual recorded death is not near death. Near death experiences cannot be used as an example for consciousness existing outsid...
Yes, due to age and experience. And again, you didn't win. My mother makes six figures and is often praised for her work. Both myself and my sister de...
Rationalizations, but not rational arguments. You've likely diminished your intelligence, so have a lower awareness. That impacts your personal intera...
Isn't that an emotional response? Rationally you know alcohol causes long term bodily and brain damage. The brain damage is especially at the emotiona...
But why do the voters want those people? There are a few reasons. 1. News organizations are owned by people with wealthy interests. So subjects are mo...
