Only one of those has something to do with what we are discussing. https://www.docdroid.net/57t8V1q/clarke-2019-extened-clinical-assessment-pdf#page=6...

And the other two surveys weren't. Are you saying that you don't have a source? If not then why do you believe that there is a high rate of regret? If...

Then could you link me your non-biased source that shows a high degree of transition regret? Also I don't think https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/248721...

What are these factual distinctions? Words like "male", "female", "him", and "her" existed long before we knew anything about DNA. DNA is just the blu...

@"DavidJohnson" You need to clarify what you mean by different characters. Is the number 22 two different characters or 1 repeated character?

He is saying that there is a single answer, let's say "xxx". The first character is an answer to the question "What is the third character (number, le...

Why would that be relevant to the puzzle? It doesn't ask you to think of a word.

Where does Púrpura come from?
February 14, 2022 at 16:06
Yes. Your questions don't entail a single possible answer.

Would you refer to someone with XX male syndrome using "he" or "she" (or both or neither)? According to who or what? How we actually use language dete...

What are these "necessary" attributes?

What determines someone to be a man or a woman? Genotype? Phenotype? Psychology? Social role? Naming?

The attack was a real thing as well. People were hurt. It might not have had a chance of succeeding, but it did far more harm than Pelosi buying or se...

You think Pelosi's insider trading matters but that a violent attempt to prevent the certification of the Presidential election doesn't?

I'll remind you of something I said at the very start of our discussion: In practice people just use the phrases "it is true that it is raining" and "...

I think what's happening is that you start by arguing that the truth is what someone believes, I prove that wrong, you try to save your position by sa...

January 05, 2022 at 12:44
I don't know what you mean by a methodology. To say that "it is raining" is true is to say that it is raining, and it is raining if there are clouds a...
January 05, 2022 at 11:04
Yes. The thing that makes "it is raining" true isn't the same thing that makes "it is sunny" true. That should be obvious. No. Defining it as "P is tr...
January 05, 2022 at 10:57
Depends on what P is. If it's "it is raining" then it's satisfied if the physical events in the atmosphere (that happen regardless of our beliefs) are...
January 05, 2022 at 10:50
We don't need to first know that each of the three conditions are satisfied for us to then have knowledge (that's impossible in principle, we require ...

I’m saying that a belief being true isn’t sufficient for it to count as knowledge. A lucky guess isn’t knowledge. A true belief brought about by a Tar...

That the truth can be used as a justification isn’t that a belief being true is the same thing as a belief being justified. If you want to argue that ...

In the context of the JTB definition of knowledge, the J refers to the individual having good reasons to believe what they do. Even if you want to und...
January 02, 2022 at 14:33
If we’re wrong then we don’t have knowledge. That’s why knowledge is said to be JTB, not just JB. Here:
January 02, 2022 at 13:38
So truth is a counterfactual? Something that is inaccessible? At the very least you finally understand that truth is distinct from the actual justific...
