Oh, I see. If I say something about an external world in any of my premisses, then I beg the question, but if I don't then I cannot derive anything ab...
That's not what I said. You employed the key term "same" in a well known historical manner as a means of justifying your assertions that no one, not e...
On my view the notion of codependence becomes quite a bit more nuanced when comparing the effect/affect that one individual's suffering has upon the g...
Offering an answer that doesn't address the substance of the questions is not acceptable. Misusing and/or abusing the historical notion of category mi...
Sam, pardon the criticism, but I'm quite curious about something. How does it make sense to put explanations in terms of likelihood of being true? I m...
What if there was no attack? Then what? That's just plain false. Who needs evidence when good old-fashioned common sense does the trick just fine? Thi...
No problem. I didn't suggest anything of the sort Un. The analogy is a gross oversimplification. Humans are not equivalent to neurons in the way that ...
I find the exchanges between Un and Meta quite curious. Un has put forth some 'food for thought' so to speak, by suggesting to look at something a bit...
As mentioned earlier, I don't think that the causal relationship and/or the existential contingency between an individual and society is as clear-cut ...
As people we are born into a societal/familial/cultural/historical 'structure' not of our own choosing. As creatures who've learned to use a language ...
This is definitely taking it to an extreme. However, there's quite a bit to be gleaned from an examination of extremes, I think. I'll mention, but onl...
No worries Crampster... No need for apologies. Doesn't seem like you've done anything blameworthy from where I sit. I suggest that you focus upon the ...
People disagree all the time about things that happen. That doesn't make the observed event subjective simply because people do not agree upon what ha...
Hey Un! Interesting topic. It comes as no surprise that talking to someone diagnosed with mental illness can and/or does result in effectively curing ...
I'm just trying to inform you that any and all attempts to categorize everything as either objective or subjective is doomed to fail. Perhaps a differ...
I don't want you to take me the wrong way here. I'm not so much as disagreeing with what I think that you're trying to do. Rather, I'm attempting to s...
I think I'm following you. Sure, different people hold different reasons for choosing one ontological commitment over another, or as you imply, choose...
Shedding just a bit of light upon the nutshell mentioned above... Those who govern 'write' the rules that largely create both, the individual socio-ec...
What went wrong? In a nutshell: very powerful immoral actors. Regarding how America arrived at Trump holding the office of the presidency: that's quit...
Does winning this auction require recognition from convention/professionals. Accepting the justificatory burden that comes along with one's bid? Convi...
We can talk about objects. We can talk about ourselves. We can say true/false things about both. All talk comes through a subject. All true/false thin...
The content of the talk consists of what exactly, if not the talk itself? Meaning of the utterance? The 'object' of thought? The subject matter? What'...
1. All thought/belief consists of mental correlation(s) drawn between 'objects' of physiological sensory perception and/or the agent itself(it's own s...
It is utterly impossible to make a mistake on purpose. It's likewise utterly impossible to knowingly believe a falsehood. However, making a mistake is...
Well, leave aside the fact that great wealth and American as well as much of international law can correct many if not most personal mistakes... Succe...
Since the idea has gotten your full attention Sam, you may be interested in researching how different people actually acted during the event of actual...
Yeah, I dunno Sam. There's something odd about the notion that different folk saw different things all pertaining to religious belief, depending on th...
I think that this skirts around something that hasn't been given due attention. All philosophical positions consist entirely in/of thought/belief. The...
All talk is linked to a subject. If being linked to a subject makes something subjective, then there is no such thing as an objective statement. Talk ...
If all claims are equally subjective and equally objective, then what is added to our understanding by virtue of using the objective/subjective dichot...
If that were the case then all thoughts about the object would be equally objective and subjective. :s There is no contradiction. The first statement ...
