I know, right? At times, his grandiloquence renders his statements indecipherable, with sentences that are paragraphs long (at least in translated var...
First and foremost, stating that any philosopher insists upon the truth of a particular stance, without eliciting any caveats or underlying evidence, ...
I can certainly rationalize the majority of your assertions (albeit under specific presuppositions). I'm inquisitive, nonetheless, with regards to thr...
I concur, with regards to the generality. Most Existentialist doctrines, as far as I've witnessed, readily concede to the tragic ramifications of bein...
Resentment is a sentiment, in consequence of having observed a detestable motive or act; in and of itself, it doesn't accord any degree of moral virtu...
This isn't an elementary introduction to Classical Mechanics; this is Inflationary Cosmology, with an emphasis on Hubble's law. I'm not contradicting ...
I'll no longer be partaking in this conversation; it's as though Einstein was never born. I concede to certain nonstandard narratives in history havin...
First and foremost, I'd like to concede that there already exists a concrete, formalized Philosophy of Mathematics, that illuminates how philosophical...
Of course - some of my misgivings may stem from overly fixating on their idiosyncrasies, and ceasing to gauge the landscapes they really are. It's lik...
I did - and whilst it's a novelty relating to a statement first imparted more than 4 decades prior to my arrival, it's unsurprising that this particul...
Exactly. I'd far rather cease to a defiance of a medical practitioner's oath (with the foreknowledge of its possibility), than succumb to my own parti...
I'm a naive 17-year old, who couldn't fathom attending an hour-long undergraduate Mathematics lecture, sans being utterly stupefied and overwhelmed. T...
That's what I was dwelling over, too; educational accreditation shouldn't be conflated with being a 'professional', albeit the overwhelming majority o...
It's not as though I'm exalting mathematicians to an unassailable pedestal, and insulating them from the haphazard thoughts of the 'ordinary man'. I'm...
Pardon me, for not properly citing the source; here's the mystical entity, from which this passage stems. For everyone else's following (and that of m...
Can you pinpoint how I've faltered? I ask, since (5) was at the heart of Gödel incompleteness. As a clarity, are you refuting the original exposition?...
What does 'are' mean? Superficially, it's not easy to unravel; if one is downtrodden, then is being downtrodden interchangeable with demonstrating a s...
I'm not familiar with topological spaces, but they are a counterexample to the (otherwise) quantitative norm that several mathematicians witness. I'm ...
Of course. Political concerns are often what encourage atheists to be evasive of religious ideals, in combination with their irreligious personalities...
They remain an aberrant interpretation; whether they are valid, or not - is determined almost exclusively by how you rationalize standardized and reco...
Admittedly, that may have been an imprudent sentence to commence with - and I apologize for its brazen nature. I was merely seeking to pinpoint (falsi...
Quite truthfully, after engaging in this discussion, I'm not sure I understand probabilities as well as I thought I did. You're right - I haven't been...
Statistical probability is (for all necessary objectives) a formalism, that underlies the intuitive notion of a 'likelihood' (as you've discussed). Yo...
Droves of atheists (and anti-theists) renunciate merely the social consequences of organized, religious structures - as opposed to the (indeterminate)...
That's an enthusing idea, but what does numericizing and geometrizing Philosophy entail, precisely? We can't ascribe predetermined quantities to abstr...
I never foresaw a page-long explanation, but it was most certainly worth it. I'm affixing the entirety of it herein, with a few observational comments...
That may be, but I was merely seeking to reassert the epistemic character of Mathematics, as a discipline. It's not as though two, distinctive modalit...
That's certainly a thought-provoking analogy. If the notion of Gödel divisibility was of an exact accuracy, though, one might witness a multitude of s...
Wait - isn't that tremendously ambitious? Words themselves can be made precise, but the sentences they're placed in are far more subjective. In order ...
Having read your delineation, I'm conjecturing that Identity Theory encapsulates the two, following meanings: Certain mental states are engendered by ...
Atheists (and I may be resting this fallaciously) are individuals solely identified by a non-belief in God; whether they find God heartwarming or auth...
They may bear mathematical significance, but is their invocation necessarily in a mathematical context? Even if they aren't (strictly), though - one c...
It's an excellent resource, for anyone seeking to immerse in the concept. If only the particulars were that elementary, though - Gödel might have devi...
That's an engaging talk, and certainly an unsophisticated introduction of the idea. It may consist, nonetheless, of certain oversimplifications (which...
We don't reside in a world, that confers any value to evidence anymore. I'm not denigrating anyone, but @"Gary Enfield" is adhering to a nonstandard i...
At this pace, we'll witness every letter of the English Alphabet being summoned for denotation (under this thread). It's invigorating, though. When I ...
This is terribly unprincipled. F=MA is a Newtonian approximation, that disintegrates in special-relativistic (or for that matter, general-relativistic...
I'm inquisitive, though; is your decisiveness on this subject predicated solely on mitigating against the eventuality of your own demise, or is it at ...
Yes, that's what I meant with the term 'corollary'. First-order logic, in most contexts, cannot exist without an underlying propositional logic (once ...
I was merely shortening (with 'self-consistency'), how I communicated the notion of a (system) proving its own consistency; it may not have been of ap...
Neither of them are terminological, in the first place. Here's the crux of the question I was posturing - insofar as arithmetic expression and consist...
That's virtually what the question's intent is, though - whether one would render the end of the human race, instantaneously - with no immediate senso...
Firstly, I'm apologetic for the personal adversities you have had to confront, and I'm thrilled that your family remains intact and well. If anything,...
