So... I've misunderstood then. What is truth a property of?

I was more talking about today's media outlets...

The narrative the last few times I've checked is sad... forever, it seems, predisposed to all the aspects bullshit brings on.

Not much to stir up that rage... eh?

So, let me see if I have understood you rightly enough.... Belief is accepting something as your truth, wheres truth is if the majority says something...

Can you think of any other way to talk about correlations drawn between different things aside from being either all internal/mental or all external? ...

All propositions are proposed. All propositions are existentially dependent upon language. Language is existentially dependent upon belief. Propositio...

...

So... you're compelled to hold that propositions do not depend upon language for their very existence. I'm compelled to hold that they are. What's the...

You're the one invoking proof. What does "prove, please" politely demand if not proof of something or other? What are you asking me to prove and what ...

Are those the only choices?

You would consider what's being censored and by whom and for what reason(s)? In addition, you would consider how censorship is affecting/effecting all...

What's the difference between truth and belief?

Rubbish. You're conflating truth and belief.

I think you should take that more seriously... if you're serious about censorship.

Perhaps it's a mistake to think that they are opposing? Perhaps, both are right about some stuff, and both are incomplete and thus inadequate for acco...

Who decides the narrative? Who decides which terms will be used to talk about which situations? This is a form of censorship...

Media outlets censor all the time.

That situation doesn't seem to end in the way you suggest. Look at 'The West'...

Dont fret China. The Donald is looking to make a better deal. He will profit from it in the end. Russia? Don't fret them either. They own Donald's per...

What's needed is the ability to discriminate between truth and bullshit. Censorship doesn't help.

I did. From the first page of this thread...

That's better. It seems that you're looking into(talking about) what all meaning takes and/or has in common. That's precisely the aim!

What would constitute being proof of that? I could point to Tarski's T sentence. I could implore your agreement about cats and mats. I could tell you ...

Reason is thinking about thought and belief. It's not an entity in and of itself capable of doing stuff. So, it would be helpful if you stopped person...

We're not too far apart here actually. I completely agree that something can be true and no-one believe it, and that someone can believe something and...

The criterion you've put forth for "truth" can be satisfied by falsehood. That's worth objecting to it.

It seems that you do not recognize the existential connection between truth and belief. If true belief is prior to language, then either so too is tru...

I wouldn't be a nuthin with mah head all full 'o stuffins...

Perhaps you ought start to think about them... Answer?

Are you denying that true belief exists prior to language?

I'm objecting to your definition of "truth" because Reason is both insufficient and unnecessary for true belief. Don't hold me to a standard of argume...

Arguing for any claim is an appeal to Reason. I could set out an argument that some things exist in their entirety prior to my setting them out. It do...

Reason has been shown to result in false conclusions. True belief exists in it's entirety prior to Reason. Thus, the following is rejected... Truth is...

No, I didn't. You cannot divorce truth from belief. <-------that's what I've been setting out, some of which you've quoted. I'm very well aware that a...

I'm noting the existential dependency that all statements have upon belief.

A statement's being true requires statements. Statements require belief. Thus, a statement's being true requires belief.

Satisfaction of that criterion requires a creature capable of thinking about it's own thought and belief.

"Natural bond" might be better rendered as one that is not existentially dependent upon the written word. "The destabilizing of the so-called mental r...

There is indeed a misunderstanding or miscommunication at hand. This is shown by your latest reply. All the conventional categories of philosophy are ...

But there are plenty holding up the fictional character of Trump protesting the fictional tale of communist totalitarianism in China. There is no such...

Do you know what elemental constituency is?

Look at what you wrote my friend. Your answer lies in your question.

I would not say that translation suggests the notion of a language independent meaning. It does suggest that some meaning is neither bound nor complet...

What are you speaking of then? When we realize what meaning is, we know what it takes, we know what it is itself existentially dependent upon, what th...

I'm asking you what you mean. The distinction between meaning and causality is one of elemental constituency. They are existentially dependent upon ve...

Cool. That's what I thought, but haven't paid enough attention. I like the professor. I'm very glad that he was chosen and accepted the invitation. I'...

Drago was a fictional character hyped up full of propaganda... a fitting comparison.

Is this the thread for forum members not involved in discussions with the professor? I mean, is this the place for member discussion?

All complete philosophical systems are existentially dependent upon complex language use replete with metacognition(thinking about thought and belief)...
