As if any individual state would be good enough to qualify.

Attorney General Merrick Garland is naming a special counsel to take over investigations involving Donald Trump

This kind of reasoning would prima facie appear to lead to the conclusion that there are no correct legal claims. And yet it is the case that, in most...

Embiggen, cromulent.

The investigation stemmed from information given to the FBI by an Australian ambassador after his meeting with one of Trump's campaign advisors.

But he'd rather be a werewolf than a vampire, and everyone knows that werewolves are lame.

Actually, I misread. He seems to have been saying that a Democrat-led Senate would have affirmed Obama's Supreme Court nominee, and wouldn't have affi...

It appears to be a "they would have were they able, but they weren't able" sort of argument.

In systems which don't use proportional representation that's how things technically work. Here in the UK you vote for an individual to represent your...

I believe his point was that Congress would have protected abortion by federal law, in the same way that they plan to protect same-sex marriage by fed...

Black holes are objects with an event horizon; a region within which gravity is so strong that light cannot escape. A singularity is a region where sp...

Hey Elon: Let Me Help You Speed Run The Content Moderation Learning Curve "Free speech" absolutists should have a read.

I assume it's entitled The Wisdom of Michael?

I don't think this adequately addresses the reasoning. The reasoning is: if the belief that p is justified, and if p entails q, then the belief that q...

But not punctured by his erection injection?

Hard pass on high-energy dentistry.

Well, there were already reports about documents related to some country's military defences and nuclear capabilities, and then a couple of days ago t...

Boris Johnson ‘likely to face suspension’ from Commons over partygate lies God, imagine the Tories actually replace Truss with Boris, and then he's su...

I remember meeting an Irish woman and asking her if she was from real Ireland or Northern Ireland. Thankfully she was from real Ireland. Probably woul...

They wouldn't even be the opposition at this point. :sweat: And I don't think 300+ Tories would be okay with losing their seats as they'd no longer be...

Unfortunately with the current polling there is no chance the Tories will call for a general election. They'd become the 4th party. As much as I'd lov...

What an embarrassment if she goes. List of longest serving Prime Ministers: /uploads/resized/files/ko/o66ai0pbs2txt329.png

He spoke to her a couple of days ago and said that the normal threshhold for a confidence vote had been passed, but because of the rules there cannot ...

Truss meeting 1922 committee chairman

Judge: Trump signed court document that knowingly included false voter fraud stats

They'll try to get Boris back in. The Conservatives are lost cause. The irony of Cameron's "chaos with Ed Miliband" remark.

Steele dossier source acquitted, in loss for special counsel Durham So of three total indictments there were two acquitals and one plea deal with no p...

Trump Was Betrayed by His Diet Coke Valet So the Mar-a-Lago employee whose interview prompted the FBI's search warrant was the White House valet respo...

You said this, which seems to be a description of anarcho-capitalism: The reality is that without some sort of centralised, democratically-elected reg...

That anarcho-capitalism could work is the fantasy.

I think the question is misleading. You will be governed, one way or another. You're never going to get a cooperative anarchy. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezo...

Thanks for the clarification. Are there any proposed experiments that could show which of locality and counterfactual definiteness is incorrect, or is...

It says in the article that their experiments showed entanglement. I thought that meant that they showed non-locality. Are you saying that entanglemen...

If by "real" you are referring to counterfactual definiteness then Bell's theorem says that either counterfactual definiteness or locality (no "spooky...

Of course. Thanks for correcting me. Fixed in OP.

Then I'm not sure what relevance it has to the discussion. Are you saying that the truth of an assertion is concerned with its implication and not its...

I believe he's referring to this. @"creativesoul" wasn't quite accurate in saying that it's "since Trump left office". Rather it's "in the last few ye...

Put it in the dryer, duh.

Because you recognize my unparalleled intelligence?

You mean you weren't expecting me, a non-mathematician, to solve a problem that some mathematicians think is impossible to solve?

I'll get right on it.

@"Srap Tasmaner" Consider this exchange: John: The book is in my room Jane: What you say is wrong because the book is not in your room Should this be ...

Yes, you imply it. But that asserting a sentence implies something isn't that that sentence (or assertion) means that thing. The sentence (even as an ...

Again, I think this is ambiguous. I think you're conflating two different senses of "meaning". I'm concerned with meaning in the sense of definition. ...

I think this is ambiguous. The meaning of the sentence is what you believe, but it isn't that you believe it. The sentence that expresses that you bel...

OK. "The book is in my room" is true iff the book is in my room. Notice that it isn't: "The book is in my room" is true iff I believe that the book is...

You appear to be equivocating on the meaning of "means". We're using it in the sense of a definition, not in the sense of entailment. The T-schema doe...

I could state "I believe that the book is in my room" even when I don't believe that the book is in my room. Therefore, according to your reasoning, "...

No, I don't. It's a nonsensical inference.
