- Zizek is right. Obligatory : "And, to go even a step further, is the practice of fist-fucking not the exemplary case of what Deleuze called the "exp...
Huh. This made me realize. I would absolutely read 8 books published by at least a good dozen of the regular contributors here. Fdrake, StreetlightX, ...
None. Even Tiffany, who came closest from what I can see, during the height of the family separation crisis (which, no one should forget, is not over ...
To illustrate : "Michael Rectenwald @antipcnyuprof Mar 17 Close your eyes and imagine a world full of self-replicating little Stalins. Now open your e...
I want to put him against the wall. My degenerate Marxist self is brimming and pulsating with hatred for this trailblazing paragon of truth-seeking an...
You are correct in that constitution (or perhaps, composition would be a better term) is but another attribute which does not equate with the object's...
It always baffles me to realize how wide-ranging the trope of emotional exceptionalism is in our modern societies. Emotions are really on the low-leve...
Like I said, Im not taking a stance towar idealism here. The Law of Identity is not a force regulating the universe, nor is it a setting that could ha...
- I think language relies on the ability of the rational mind to abstract and compare. To be slightly pedant, language relies on so many things that i...
That's the main solution to the Red Button scenario : make the AI somewhat similar to a human mind in terms of "lazyness". It doesn't really matter ho...
... :brow: ... Since you are the one evaluating the validity of the objection, you can this way safeguard yourself against any form of criticism by si...
You are unfortunately free to see gratuitous assertions wherever you want, but this sort of indignation really isn't appropriate to this conversation....
But that doesn't compute. :kiss: (sorry, too easy). What you are describing is a lot closer to a Prime Mover, or a Prime Knower, than anything similar...
Well, being a French kid that grew in Montreal and interacted with posh Westmount Anglos, I can confirm that many did not know the existence of the F-...
Your guess would be wrong. Goal setting and motivation is 100% doable purely in code. And a final goal doesn't entail the end of pursuit. I think its ...
We have an active investigation on a sitting President, with the potential charge of Conspiracy to defraud the United States brought up against him an...
That's an example of fallacy by undermining. The A of "A at T1" and "A at T2" are identical because they are the same A, not because of any other attr...
The law of Identity is not meaningless, its the basis for the possibility of meaning ever arising and being available. Without it you have no basis of...
You can. The moment of identity is also the moment of non-identity, so to speak. I ask you to pick an object at random in the Great Bag of Things that...
If identity is a relation, and its most often presented to me as such, then differences (or specific non-identical attributes) should also constitute ...
I dont see why, a priori, identity couldnt be considered a relation. A is identical to A, thats the basis for the determination of all further relatio...
I finished a while ago Object-Oriented Ontology from Graham Harman, and you might want to check it out, as it deals a lot with this problem. There's a...
It's not an assumption, it's one pole on the axiom of egology. "Cogito ergo sum" loses the stress put by the French translation "Je pense, donc je sui...
Because its a ridiculous line to draw in the sand. From "Decalogue is Jewish not Christian" to "Catholicism isn't Christian" to "True Christians aren'...
I mean, Dems have pretty much always only ever tried electing moderates. Maybe, perhaps, perchance, after last election's trainwreck, it's time to put...
Well that really is far from what you initially said. And ridiculously chauvinistic. Which, I guess, is paid in kind. Huguenots really are a weird bun...
Im not defending Augustino's ridiculous OP arguments. Just the claim that the Decalogue is exclusively a jewish thing. The Catechism, for what its wor...
You are making a positive claim which is verifiably false. Catholicism is sect of Christianity. Catholic dogma, weither you agree with it or not, incl...
Sorry, I don't get your meaning here. In any case, this is the Catechism. Its the official stance and teachings of the Catholic Church. You cannot cla...
:brow: :chin: :roll: How often have you de-escalated a home invasion by making a phone call to the local law enforcement agency? Regardless of the Sta...
Yeah, but which plot? The plot to make you believe there was a plot, or the plot to make you believe there was no plot? Or perhaps, the plot was about...
Sorry, but that is false. Matthew 19:16-30, Mark 10:17-31, and Luke 18:18-30, Jesus with the rich young man reiterates the commandments of the Decalog...
I remember an interview from a Law School teacher of both Michelle and Barrack, who basically said he couldn't believe it wasn't Michelle on the ticke...
This is why legal hermeneutics are best left to those who have actually completed a Philosophy of Law (or a Law degree) course. In any legal reading, ...
Again, its just dumb. If Rosenstein somehow contaminated the evidence, didnt recuse himself, introduced a vice of procedure, went to trial, and the Re...
That is dumb, tho. You dont impeach someone for missing a legal deadline, or else there would not be a single attorney practicing. You just get in cou...
In the end it really doesnt matter. Comey said it himself : given the current spirit of the FBI, Trump could sack Rosenstein, Mueller and 99% of the l...
What you fail to take in account is that homosexuals can and do reproduce (yes, with females) all the time. Their reproduction is not tied to the Chur...
- And yet the Catholic Church has been one of the larger crosses gay Catholics have had to bear. So, it sounds like pious bullshit. To be fair, its th...
To be fair, the Roman Catholic catechism also immediately state "They must be welcomed with respect, compassion and gentleness. We will at all cost av...
You don't have to convince me that something should've been done earlier about Russian expansionism. But, to be fair, the USA, Canada and the UK did a...
