It's not supposed to be. Dereliction of duty.

I think it is no accident that philosophers are made fun of. It's not only politically biased... but it's also financially biased. As long as people a...

I'm not being facetious. Many folk have different ideas about what "knowledge" is. The same is true of "god". The same is true of "truth". The same is...

Seems as highly likely as any other in this day and age! :smile:

That's not at all true regarding the second article. The first is a shiny object. You've been distracted by it. Don't be. Watch the congressional test...

Yes. Yes. Yes. A child's game.

Yes. So... prior to performing such work... prior to helping the Sumerian connect all the dots by virtue of drawing all the correlations underlying ou...

The real damage being done during the Trump administration is left on the side. It is neglected - in part at least - as a direct result of the push to...

The 2020 election stuff surrounding the first article of impeachment is a shiny object.

Trump's behaviour is the very epitome of obstructing justice.

The people's minds that need changed the most will never so be if language like the above is the only tool in the toolbox... For far too long, the Ame...

Honestly though... As long as people are media puppets, and media dictates the narrative, and media is owned by giant corporations with tremendous pol...

Pick any statement you like, Trump's notwithstanding, and then ask the following questions... What would it take, what would have to be the case, what...

You and I seem to be in near complete agreement.

I second this... That book is spot on! :smile:

Guess what I've already done? :grin:

I've denied no such thing. You seem to think that I must on pains of coherency. I'm under no such obligation to the best of my knowledge. Statements a...

Thanks for that link Banno... :smile: Glad to know that I've been on the right track all along... :wink:

Artificial? I'm not sure what that's supposed to add here. Just to make sure I understand, are you referring to the common language on the left and th...

Earlier I suggested that Davidson needs Convention T to be an adequate means for translation... Banno seemed to agree. What do you think?

Existentially codependent. That question is ill conceived. So is that one.

Knowledge of which is most certainly rightfully applicable to Davidson's article. Are you agreeing or disagreeing or uncertain? Not I... I've been set...

I mentioned shared truth conditions as simple yet effective explanation of what's required for translatability as can be shown by Convention T practic...

No... We use every term when asking what they mean, so if what you said were true, it would mean that we do not have a clear understanding of any term...

I don't find it to be. It's certainly a commonly asked philosophical question. We look to how the term "truth" is used. We find out what is being said...

I think we can get closer still to an acceptable robust enough position using a more common - fairly ordinary - language. I mean, I think we need to f...

Ow! Well, I certainly do not think that it's a shit argument, despite my intuitive disagreements. I mean, those very well may be based up a slight mis...

Well, it seems to me that you've no way of talking about what sorts of things can be true - such as knowledge claims - and what makes them so. Given t...

The way that I have been seems adequate enough, and without all the subconscious stuff.

Could that be done in common ordinary language?

If I could explain it in enough detail, it wouldn't be a case. That just seems to be the only circumstance I can think of where it - perhaps - has wha...

I reject this notion of truth...

That's a traditional way of thinking about it. I reject nearly every dichotomy underwriting such discourse.

Yeah, like cyber security! :down: :shade:

This is false. It all depends upon the claim under consideration.

I'm thinking much the same thing... That's one way of putting it. Although I agree with the description as a commonly understood one, I'm very hesitan...

Indirectly perceptible things and/or abstract entities - it seems to me - would be prone to resisting translation. That is where we would possibly fig...

Nevermind me... I'm on about something else, and that is irrelevant to Davidson's gripe about and/or rejection of the idea of different conceptual sch...

In very specific circumstances... it is better to die at your own hands than to die at the hands of the enemy. We construe them all with language use....

You... or Davidson? Both, perhaps. This is the bit that has always been a thorn in my side. Demanding that a belief be statable leaves far too much to...
