Yeah. Sounds legit.

Provide the evidence for the argument. I think that's how arguments usually work. :)

The contrary of what? It is your lack of any properly grounded claim that I drew attention to. You contradict yourself to the degree you confuse metac...

If you check it out, you will see that "the Planck time comes from dimensional analysis". So you may as well set every value to 1. The dimensioned uni...

How so? It is a metaphysically logical position. Nothing can be definitely talked about except in terms of being measurably "other". If you want to ta...

You claimed the hard distinction. You can provide the evidence to support your claim. I say pick up any anthropological discussion of the issue and yo...

So the Planck constant is a social construction and not a part of nature? -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_time

Of course it is itself relative. It's a scientific theory and so accepts an internalist inductive argument - the triadic arc of abductive hypothesis, ...

Dark or bright, we know it is matter. If it were anti-matter, it would be blowing you to shit right now.

Science is a work in progress. Shock horror.

I don't understand your concern. You'll have to explain. Anti-matter exists. We can create it. But matter dominates the visible Universe. We can measu...

But this particular issue has had really heavyweight analysis within the metaphysics of physics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole_argument https://e...

There is a vast literature on this. I could go digging for the best lay summary I guess. Here is a reliable source that is specific to the proton magn...

Where there is belief, doubt is also possible by definition. Saying A always logically permits not-A if A is in fact a meaningful thing to assert. So ...

To what in particular? I traversed a heck of a lot of ground there. If your reply is well-intentioned - you are actually curious - then sure I can dig...

We know radioactive decay makes a good clock as we also know the physics that could change its rate. So we have relativity theory which says everythin...

Still peddling this false calculus? For a realist, the question is do all accounts converge. And clearly those of the poetic, the insane, the asleep, ...

But an essential handedness has been found in the weak force. And the explanation is mathematical - chiral symmetry and its breaking by the Higgs mech...

What are you rolling your eyes at? Do you think the symmetry ain't actually broke or something? The very fact that Cern can conjure up anti-matter to ...

Ground breaking. Wish I could be there.

Wow. The nuclear passive aggressive option! Yeah, go for it. Rorty. The everyman’s punching bag. X-)

So I am right. It just pains you to admit it. What you call realism is simply pragmatism. Language use creates the observer along with the observable....

Nope. Now you are just trying to bypass the irreducible self refential complexity of language use to point in its other direction - thus hoping to poi...

Surely Aristotle’s concern for “thaten” does reflect the folk metaphysics search for an ur-stuff. Substance became defined hylomorphically as in-forme...

So is it an actual multiplicity of objects that is implied, or the irreducible self-referentiality of perception? Are we pointing at several kinds of ...

Or the truth irreducibly complex. Epistemology involves self-reference. The reason for the irreducible complexity is hardly hidden here. Look, I know ...

If your preferred economics is distributionism, that is pretty much what the relocalisation and social entrepreneur crowd are advocating as an antidot...

What? Are you saying hunter gatherer tribes lack metacognition? Are you saying hunter gatherers tribes aren’t preliterate cultures? So yes, I have no ...

But I would defend pragmatism against subjectivism. Just because we must accept consciousness of the world is indirect, it doesn’t mean that some meth...

Bully for you.

Where is the evidence that spoken language isn’t enough? I’m sure a good a case can be made for how the creation of texts was a big step up in terms o...

Repetition is not answering, its evading. Again, how do you define facilitate in the above context? Was my suggestion right or wrong?

There are both subjectivising and objectivising language games. So we have some great epistemic theories to underpin our ontological commitments. Prag...

Again you evade giving an answer. You won’t explain how your distinction between speech and writing is a difference that makes a difference in the con...

You are welcome to your opinion. But the argument to support it would be nice. For instance, on what grounds would you be claiming that it is not the ...

Just repeating a failure to explain is not helpful. Why writing as a necessary step? Why wasn’t speaking already enough? Am I suppose to understand by...

Strewth. Yes of course. Language had to evolve. And the modern symbolic human mind with it. That is what paleoanthropology studies. Go read a book abo...

Utter bullshit. Where have you explained to me why writing is a necessary difference? Why isn’t speech itself already enough?

But you are stressing the subjective tree - the one that appears to us even in our dreams. It is tree-ness in all the ways we could possibly imagine. ...

Left~right doesn’t really apply as I take a natural systems view of politics/economics. So what is to be encouraged is the balance of competitive and ...

Again, just answer a direct question. Why are you insisting on written language as necessary to metacognition? Your refusal to answer on small but imp...

But my argument has been that the limitation is fruitful, purposeful - the feature and not the bug. So the indirectness is critical to the design. It ...

Monbiot did a nice article on the theory vs the practice.

Yeah, I’m just not following your line of argument. First up, the psychologists who talk about metacognition don’t really get the linguistic scaffoldi...

What? Perception is what we call the generation of sensory experience. It is the primary mediation in question here.

In what sense would our sensations be exhaustive of the tree? That’s taking the direct realist position. Or maybe the sentence is just badly worded? Y...

Citation? Explanation?

Your experience of the world. That is why folk were talking about indirect vs direct perception. You can google the dictionary definition if you like ...

Is @"Sapientia" messing around with people’s quotes again? :)
