I envy your green grass and summer light. We have 3 feet of snow everywhere here.

Thanks, it is. Pretty much first time in my life money isn't terrible, so yeah, feels great.

Yeah, I won't spit on $35/hour for no effort whatsoever. :-$ Just wish everyone else had brought a book or something to keep them shut up, and would s...

Stuck at work. Everyone is angry because ... holidays, I guess? I have nothing to do but get annoyed at how generally annoyed everyone else is.

Happy 2x pay to all the corporate drones out there!

Memory goes beyond imagination. For example, semantic memory doesn't require imagination. Unless you use 'imagination' in it's non-cognitive, common a...

I had a friend who was a nurse. She had stories. One was about "Slugman", who would litteraly leave a trail of ooze behind him wherever he went. One n...

Sorry, in what sense?

How can you do metaphysics without specifying the terms of your epistemology (tentative answer : poorly)? As such, 'What can I know', 'How can I know'...

I don't see how useful that is. I guess it works as a sort of gauge of accointance. "Accointance can at least in principle reach the same degree of ce...

Depends. Could be because they think that polygamous marriage is notably worse for societal conditions than gay marriage. Could also be because they h...

Except there is very obviously a seperation between memory states and conscious states. I also dispute the idea that saying "immediate is what we feel...

Ah, yes, I knew when I was writing this down that it didnt sound right. Speckled hen, spotted chicken, it's all a poule rousse in French. O:) That's r...

I don't *hate* Witty. I just don't relate at all to him as he is described in the litterature. He seems like the kind of person I would have been unab...

Plus, he probably raised his dogs by beating them up.

No clue. Witty doesn't strike me as a cat lover. One more reason why I can't relate.

I'm really sorry. I can't even. The day I lose my calico is the day my life loses almost all its meaning. Stay strong. There's always hope, even when ...

But did you find back your purrty kitty?

Lordohlord, all those wires resting directly on your mattress and sheets. I'm triggered. Triggered I say. Also, best of all hopes finding your cat. Pe...

I mean that the epistemological problems of acqaintance comes down to the fact that language tends to put on the same footing experiences of *red*, th...

Factually wrong. He had a long-term relationship with Francis Skinner, one of his students, starting around 1933. He later expressed guilt and regret ...

Limit case : All you are experiencing is a red experience. Nothing else. Just a pure, unsectionned, unqualified experience of red qualia. Should you n...

Knowledge by acquaintance might be indubitable, and I put an emphasis on might, because I see no reason not to reduce it to a trick of language masqua...

Well, good, reading again my comment I didn't want to make him sound like an asshole. I mean, very often, when a teacher sleep with his student, that'...

Heard he had multiple casual relations with his students.

I beg to differ. Dead South fuses bluegrass with metal inspirations very well. So does Justin Cross. Shaky Graves is absolutely awesome. Dark Country ...

:-O

Obviously not enough to disable relatively easy translation between languages. Are there human natural languages where, by principle, you couldn't for...

As long as it wasn't a crime, it doesn't make you accessory after the fact. >:)

Is there a good reason to believe that a lion would resolve the basic questions of ontology assembling any differently then we do? Individuals, classe...

Types refered to in the paper are 'what types of knowledge do speakers possess that determines their grammaticality judgements?' Without much thought,...

You mean grammar types à laNordquist? Comparative, generative, mental, pedagogical, peformative, referential, theoritical, traditional, transformation...

More about embodied thought. What about my cat's (adowable lil') paws would make her unable to understand something like "take my hand", had she the l...

Yup. (See, that's a language game too!) If you can make a rule about it, then it's a game.

Don't know. Ask Witty. All games are language games, as far as I'm concerned.

Well, of course. But even with the lion (according to Wtty's thought experiment) I could interact. Sinking his teeth in my carotid still passes as int...

Sorry. onomatopoeia*

The stupidity was not buying a Bitcoin a year ago and making about 14 000$ of profits. Alas, stupidity knows little bounds.

In any case, the whole "If lion could speak..." spiel goes so much against my personal experiences of trans-species communication that I'm fairly sure...

Pretty much the same way I'll recognize that someone who is speaking a foreign language I've never heard and which might sound (to me) like a bunch of...

I've never understood how Wittgenstein regarded the animal as such a radical Other. I'd even go further and say, even before we are able to recognise ...

I can't refer to a single author, but my intuition would be that if a coherentist wanted to use 'facts' as a term, he would do so in a heuristic manne...

I was under the impression the Q-Wave* had disproved all claims regarding quantum computing as the Grail of computer ingeneering? * Sorry, D-wave.

Yan is the Jewish form of Jean. Tierry is properly spelled Thierry. Not the greatest, but still miles ahead of 'Steves'. Guy is german. Marcel means '...

Lol, "Sean Paul".

Ok, then you really need to do something about your first names. "Steves"? "Josh"? "Kyle"? "Erin"??? When your name is one letter away from being a ve...

Yeah, but if I don't get to change yours, you don't get to change mine. :P

I grrew up in front of a lake. My bedroom would be like, 5 feet away from the beach. During the summer, late at night, there was a an enormous heron w...
