We have to be very careful when analyzing quantum physics as lay people because the language is not the common philosophical or even basic English phr...
Feel free to point out what in the OP is messy and you feel needs clarity, improvement, or should be countered. A statement is not an argument. How do...
But we only know this within our frame of referents as observers. You're removing an observer, than adding something an observer would include back in...
You're new Ecurb, and Banno is not being a good example of how we behave here. Stick to the topic if you wish. If you have an issue with the OP or ide...
Correct. But as the OP of this thread I do feel obligated to keep it on course, prevent petty insults and trolling between members on it. I'm appealin...
Ok, I'm glad we're on the same page there. I agree with this quantitatively. Its the qualitative aspect that I'm struggling with. We acknowledge that ...
You know, after observing you for a while Banno, you're just a bit of a troll aren't you? You pretend to uphold forum standards and good philosophical...
I'll chime in another time here as I've been following the topic still and seeing if I missed something. If you wish to discuss it, that's fine. If no...
Explain it then. How does a person knowing or not knowing a trans individual personally indicate in any rational way that this is why they are treatin...
I think this thought process assumes a virtue that has not been earned. Personally knowing a person or group of people does not mean you have any more...
I did note that you claimed you weren't denying science, and it seemed to me that you weren't denying change. My point as been that this means you als...
The relation we observe, not create. The creation of a relation is something independent of observation. I can create a related measurement of zorbool...
Time is the fact of change. When you say time doesn't exist prior to consciousness, you state change didn't happen prior to consciousness. Thus, I und...
Hey, this is a new person on the forum. Inappropriate to go around publcally accusing people. Report a post if you suspect an issue, please don't make...
The measurement of relationships between moments in time and points in space is made in awareness. That doesn't mean awareness creates the observed th...
We can both accept that we're humans riddled with variation, and accept what the normal use of man and woman mean in general language and culture. And...
No, I'm really just providing a discussion ground for people to think about this idea. If you've noticed, I've largely stepped away and let people dis...
It is. It is also a philosophical one, but that philosophical role should consider the science known. The quote was to indicate that scientists are no...
I'm not quite seeing this. As I noted, velocity measures continuity of speed and direction which necessitates time passing in succession. Even a clock...
You go over some ground here, so I want to summarize your points to ensure I understand what your OP is trying to say. 1. Ludwig has stated that reali...
Good post Fire. This needs to be understood clearly from all involved in this discussion. If at any moment anyone thinks raising this issue is about b...
I think the issue is that language cannot be a purely rule less enterprise. Its like saying, "Since every human is slightly different, a pig can be a ...
If you read the OP, prejudice is literally a 'pre-judgement'. Determining kindness and morals are not pre-judgements, they are judgements. Prejudice a...
I think you may be describing some aspects from the transwomen side, but not all. And I still think only addressing trans women ignores the commonalit...
And as I've noted in this thread, I consider gender prejudice. So no, I'm not going to start using prejudicial language. You have not indicated why th...
It is also can be equally masandrist when trans men are involved. This is all too often forgotten in the conversation, but rans men exist too. There a...
Ok, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I've come across the wrong way before as writing lacks non-verbal. To your point, its unknown how many edu...
Incorrect. Most people do not even understand gender as used in gender theory. And you did not invalidate my point that there are people who do use pr...
No, you need to clarify why its rude, not merely declare it. It is not rude to not give consent to lying, duplicity, or pretend games because it makes...
You and I both hold that there are things independent of our own context. Let me ask you this in response. If there was nothing to inquire, would inqu...
Generally the people of a particular sex for the bathrooms. There are clearly signs marked men and women right? So obviously a lot of people care. But...
There is discrimination and prejudice against almost everyone. Its part of life. The goal should be to make sure other people aren't discriminatory ri...
Yes, it is irrelevant to any person of any type. If a person is short, they're going to be seen as short. Does it mean you don't point it out as a fac...
That's irrelevant. People are going to elevate prejudices whether you intone a separate identity or not. You can't use language to stop people from se...
I'm glad you agree with the OP. My point was not a judgement about whether it was polite or not. Only pointing out its flaw as a phrase. That is defin...
The OP is not a question of accepting or not accepting trans individuals, and being gay has nothing to do with being trans. Its pointing out that the ...
Of course. Gender is an identity based on prejudices. A 'man' by gender has nothing to do with their actual body or sex, but how a person thinks a per...
And I would argue that while you might be right for some people, for others they deem it to be a real sociological discovery. There are people who bel...
I don't have a definite answer at this point, but its something to think on. Do we by default take our judgements as answerable to how things really a...
That would be what a contradiction is. A contradiction is the world telling us, "Our idea about reality is wrong." We cannot will a contradiction away...
This is a valid concern. Forgive me if you're already replying to my last post. I figured this would be a good summary. 1. That we discretely experien...
And this post is an attempt to get away from that. Its about putting the knives down on both sides and asking some rational questions just about langu...
Another thing I do is not make political statements. I'm very apolitical in philosophy and life. I think it distorts actual thought. Politics is often...
I as well! Continue as long or as little as you want. I don't think its simply about instrumental success. What if I told you this knowledge theory sh...
The moderators on this forum I feel are usually fair. Is what you're discussing a genuine thing to consider and possibly be wrong about, or is it full...
This I never got an answer to. I have a feeling its a variable scale. There's likely a mean and median, but not anything universal. I believe that's f...
