When someone's worldview is not possible until some particular state of affairs happens, that particular sequence of events is necessary for that worl...

I do not think that this can be overstated. Although setting it out requires time - that I do not currently have - and would be a distraction from the...

That which is existentially dependent upon minds and that which is not. It's the knowledge regarding that distinction which is difficult to acquire. I...

If any instance of God talk resulted in doing good, and all God talk is a waste of time, then God talk that resulted in doing good is a waste of time.

The OP mistakenly presupposes that there has never been a goal reached by virtue of God talk. The only way all questions of God and all God talk could...

There's a dying man, who talks of God. The discussions help mend long held grudges and unsettled feelings. The man dies with a peace and contentment t...

p1. In order to know that doing X is a waste of time for others, one must know each and every reason that others had, have, or will have for doing X a...

:kiss: As you wish...

What's clear is that you neglected to address the argument that shows the problem in your own worldview.

Yup. Interesting... as much as we differ in our philosophical positions, we're in complete agreement regarding whether or not the behavior of this ind...

This is a great forum. There are all kinds of different people here and there. Don't judge the site by that thread. I've been here for a while, and I ...

My work here is done...

So, let me get this straight... You're saying that such questions are a waste of time for you... and only you? That it's not a waste of time for anyon...

You did not say it. True. It's exactly what you did though. All sorts of people pose your target questions for very different reasons that you think o...

False analogy. Irrelevant. Humans are not computers. Boolean logic is not equivalent to native tongues/common languages. Common language acquisition i...

Right. Although, for me it was far more than just that! The way I stood, talked, expressed myself, played, etc... eventually I ended up with a persona...

I can very much relate to the idea of parents comparing their son to girls as a means to dissuade certain behaviors. My family did that to me all the ...

Each person walks their own path for their own reasons. Everyone adopts their 'original' worldview/belief system. This is true of each and every langu...

Well... this is besides the bickering between the two of you, but... The evidence that currently exists which refutes and/or falsifies the claim that ...

Sweet! Funny. I lasted smoked a month ago... Congrats. I agree with the habits of mind bit... very much so. The power of thought and words is like mag...

Ah. All good. You'll have that! Well, if you're not a fan, then you probably would not want to watch that then! It was quite interesting to me, probab...

I think that Dennett has a very particular target that he's denying and calling an "illusion". For whatever that's worth. He has a youtube video on th...

Seems like there's a presupposition at work here. Some seem to have presupposed that humans have transitioned from reproduction as an innate biologica...

Since when is perfection and omniscience necessary for knowledge??? :worry:

At 7:53 PM EST on July 24 2023, the person with the avatar name "creativesoul" posted on a philosophy forum.

May you find genuine contentment within you my friend... ...and for whatever it's worth... the bit of scripture you mumbled about camels and needles.....

Is it? :brow: It's not a problem for me... :yikes: I suspect not really for you either(aside from talking philosophy). Nor would I think that the over...

Arguing with your own database now?

Nice. Well put.

Trump was not president. Biden was.

Well, given Un's reply to me, it's clear that I did not fully understand... So... open mouth, insert foot. :confused: My apologies Meta. For all I kno...

Key words above... The case against him is not regarding his time in office. It's about the records he stole, hid, and lied about possessing after lea...

I do not know if I am or not. I certainly would question the veracity of sourcing a bot for information about how to tell if an interlocutor is a bot!...

Ready to discuss the indictment?

Touche. What better way to set out the actual crimes he's being accused of than to quote them verbatim?

And again... Whether or not you believe it is immoral is irrelevant. You asked what crimes he committed. That has nothing to do with whether or not th...

No, I don't need an argument at all. It's a matter of fact. You asked what crimes he committed. The crimes are established by law.

Possibly.

How do you know that? What evidence convinces you that an internet avatar is a person? What evidence would convince you that an avatar is not a person...

More distractions. Designed to confuse the issue and muddy the water. Trump stole very sensitive national defense information. He did so knowingly. He...

Well whatever... I mean, I'm certainly not an angel when it comes to ridiculing others. However, in this case, I do not believe that I am, or was. One...

When profit is the sole motive, to hell with what's right, moral, just, best, true, or fair...

Look Mikie, here's what seemed to have happened... I strongly suspect that NOS is bot driven and bot informed, at the very least, mining from a treasu...

I'm wondering if correlations can be drawn between specific documents in Trump's possession... and certain activies by foreign governments and/or adve...

This is true, and that sort of thing was increased and perpetuated by many trusted sources in media. Still is to this day.

That is true as well for Trump... I see no reason to attribute that to Mikie.

Glorifying ridicule of someone who disagrees with and/or is different... Yeah, that really is a striking similarity.

You cherry pick one example. I'm not certain that NOS is not a bot driven source of information. This situation is the only one where I've thought tha...

There's more than one. Care to discuss? Counts 1 through 31. Willful retention of national defense information Count 32. Conspiracy to obstruct justic...
