No, you are quite right. This is indeed how one wages a war to liberate and denazify a country. What was I thinking! Do I have to join every dot for y...
It’s nice to know we have someone here with such obvious military expertise as yourself to guide us. Now back to what sources have said and not what s...
That isn’t disparaging. It is to say it is is another level of semiotic regulation. And we can aspire to professional standards and evidence backed pr...
Hah. I was lucky to have parents with a positive psychology approach. So even joining the Boy Cubs, I was immediately aware of its coercive and cultis...
See my post above… It’s interesting to hear you describe that. And I understand as a lot of my reading to research these issues is case studies of thi...
Self awareness is a cause of much mental ill health in modern society as people find it isolating and socially crippling. Drink and drugs are needed t...
Debrief article says… Article is all about the riot police who also got sent as part of the Kyiv “feint”. What a cock up (unless you believe the inter...
Crate of gold teeth left behind by fleeing Russian torturers… https://worldnationnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Gold-teeth-the-terrifying-discove...
Sure. I accept that art can move us. But being moved in a physical or emotional sense is not the same as being moved in an intellectual and rational s...
What about Victor of Aveyron? :grin: So Romanticism says we are all our own precious and sacred spark of divine genius. Nous. Geist. Logos. PoMo trans...
Just stop. You know that my epistemology is semiotic and pragmatic. The subjectivity and informality of acts of measurement are what it is all about, ...
Another detail making it more likely to be Russia is the ease of access. It’s being said they could just wheel explosive down the pipe using the inspe...
Frankly I’m surprised the “Kyiv feint” guys aren’t pushing this more. Kyiv is considered the mother city of Russian culture. So levelling it would be ...
You tell me. In what way did they benefit in their isolation? In what way would they have profited more if everyone else had joined them in applying t...
Frankly I tire of these weak arguments. There is no problem measuring different states of the one system at different stages of its development. The p...
You mean can paradigm shifting genius exist? Sure, why not? But paradigm shifting means bringing the community with you. Otherwise nothing has happene...
I didn’t really address what seems your goal here - some kind of step towards a next level of mind. But my points do go to this issue. You can’t do mu...
Three key bits of advice here. First note you need to differentiate between the neurobiological awareness of animals and the language and culture expa...
Many shreds have been provided. Might I dare suggest that is at least a plausible suggestion and thus join you in evading all calls for credible suppo...
You mean one side claims Kyiv was a feint, Russian forces have proved competent, Putin has strictly limited war aims. And the other side is meant to b...
No, no. I asked for actual articles or clips that present the case you want to make. But I have been reading Treisman on interesting issues like Russi...
Simply because some random internet dude repeats un-evidenced claims, full of obvious holes, over and over again, doesn’t mean I am going to take them...
I commented on the odd reluctance of apologists to source their talking points. I might also remark on what seems to be a tactic of confusing the disc...
I have indeed googled to see where your talking points might be sourced. Strangely nothing respectable is turning up. So I can only continue to say ei...
Sure. But that is covered by Peirce too. You have the cycle of reasoning which is abductive hypothesis, deductive theory forming, and inductive confir...
To continue knocking down the talking points of Putin apologists, remember this?… So Kyiv feint? Putin’s limited ambitions? Time to put the sourceless...
This account of what US intelligence knew and what the allies could believe about the looming invasion is fascinating. It is clear that the US had det...
The hardcore stuff is Howard Pattee's biosemiosis papers, and earlier epistemic cut approach. There is also Rosen's modelling relations, but that was ...
We were talking about the problem of substantial existence - ontology rather than epistemology. So this is off the point. Pfft. My argument is that th...
It is true that Peirce moves us usefully beyond the start made by Kant. But why take the conversation back to Descartes by talking about "personal exp...
I think the right view is to marvel at how it has been possible to extend semiosis to the degree that it has. Through metaphysics and science, humans ...
To show that you could? This is also true. But on the surprising incompetence side, we have systemic corruption, a historic undervaluing of logistics,...
Again, fierce imperialist was your terminology and not mine. I entered the debate disputing some dumb comments about Putin only making a feint at Kyiv...
