Someone looking for proof? Interesting that Sand should admit that. I was.
August 09, 2017 at 03:32
Now... Can you formulate a valid objection?
August 09, 2017 at 03:29
There are obviously two different senses of the term "post-truth" at work here. Yours and mine. I'm neither denying nor affirming the coherency of you...
August 09, 2017 at 03:28
The ethical impact is clear... Are the ends good for the overwhelming majority, and if not what needs to be done in order to correct the situation? Th...
August 09, 2017 at 03:16
Post truth...
August 09, 2017 at 03:12
The claim "No post-truth" doesn't follow from "Some folk doesn't mean all folk, or even most folk". That is a non-sequitur. I've never claimed that a ...
August 09, 2017 at 03:10
So, throughout history the term "truth" has been used in a few prominent and starkly different ways. This has caused much confusion and all sorts of c...
August 09, 2017 at 03:00
I'm telling you that nothing you've said is based upon the meaning of the words in the quote box. Those words were expressed by me. You want proof of ...

Can you formulate a valid objection?
August 09, 2017 at 02:54
Meant to write... It's not my concern that you write stuff based on stuff that I do not write. If you do not acknowledge the depth of that issue, ther...

It's my concern that you write stuff based on stuff that I do not write.
August 09, 2017 at 02:44
Nothing you've said applies to what you were purportedly reporting upon, and nothing you've written shows otherwise.
August 09, 2017 at 02:41
Sigh... Semantics are for rookies.
August 09, 2017 at 02:38
Is that a yes?
August 09, 2017 at 02:35
You done yet?
August 09, 2017 at 02:32
Non-sequitur. Try again.
August 09, 2017 at 02:29
So, the popularity of talking about things while avoiding using the term "truth" grew exponentially and along with it grew greater misunderstanding th...
August 09, 2017 at 02:20
A bit of different context... So, throughout history the term "truth" has been used in a few prominent and starkly different ways. This has caused muc...

Treating others poorly makes some folk feel good about themselves.
August 08, 2017 at 09:59
I have no reason whatsoever to think/believe that you're speaking sincerely Sand and every reason to conclude otherwise. I've no further interest in a...
August 08, 2017 at 09:39
Creative is setting out the problems within the current society that is being called "post-truth", and he doesn't care what you call it... I'm not imp...
August 08, 2017 at 09:31
Tom does not think in statements, and yet we report upon Tom's thought/belief. The content of our reports is not equivalent to the content of Toms tho...
August 08, 2017 at 08:20
Tom has no conception of truth, and yet has true belief. How, exactly can it be the case that Tom has true belief? If true belief requires truth, and ...

A factual statement:An overwhelming majority of US citizens think/believe that most and/or all politicians are dishonest. p1. Citizens vote for politi...

August 08, 2017 at 06:39
By the way, there's nothing in the last reply that I find unacceptable. I mean, it seems we agree on all that as well... I was moving onward prior to ...
August 08, 2017 at 06:34
To me, the issue is understanding what non linguistic thought/belief consists in/of. It's not statements. Agree?
August 08, 2017 at 06:07
This presupposes knowledge of all the problems. We do not have that. What we do have is a list of all the things that we think/believe are a problem. ...
August 08, 2017 at 05:53
What's so difficult about defining the problem? Let's set them all out. If there is a single thread that ties them all together, it's something worth ...
August 08, 2017 at 04:02
Now we're talking... I'd like to see it continue.
August 08, 2017 at 03:59
How important is rational thinking as it pertains to the topic? Never mind how long deliberate deceit has been happening in government. Never mind who...
August 08, 2017 at 03:40
I'm sure that some don't give it much thought Jeep. I suspect Augustino has more faith in the institutions to prevail on the other side in better shap...
August 08, 2017 at 02:55
Ok. And yet not all thought/belief counts as truth, reasoning... So why should it's content? Good question. We could determine whether or not it makes...
August 08, 2017 at 02:42
Yup. I tried to make Heiddy's notion of truth fit, but it seems that those who most often talk about a post truth world aren't thinking along those li...
August 08, 2017 at 02:07
What are you talking about? I just read it... again. I see no proof. You claim otherwise. One of us is wrong. Use the article and show me and everyone...
August 07, 2017 at 05:21
So Srap... What about the last question I asked regarding the content of another's belief and your report thereof?
August 07, 2017 at 05:17
Meta is just plain wrong.
August 07, 2017 at 05:16
Ancient writing systems are meaningful. There are no examples of potential meaning.
August 07, 2017 at 05:14
Use the article to prove what you claim...
August 07, 2017 at 05:10
Potential meaning is an empty concept.
August 07, 2017 at 04:31
One who has watched those interrogations soon finds out that there were no laws broken. Warren exposed how the banks oversaw themselves basically, and...
August 07, 2017 at 04:28
You obviously have not watched Warren interrogate those involved in the matters.
August 07, 2017 at 03:59
The reason why "It is raining" implies belief but isn't equal to "I believe it is raining" is because sometimes "I believe" implies doubt/uncertainty.
August 07, 2017 at 03:51
Is your report of another's belief equal - in content - to the other's belief?
August 07, 2017 at 03:31
I can only laugh here... I've nothing further with you Meta...

We can look at available footage of Trump talking about things at different times and clearly note self-contradiction. For instance, taking a look at ...
August 07, 2017 at 00:08
Ok... Now that that jello has been nailed to the wall... Let's get back to the topic, shall we?

Sure we can... Remember saying this? That claim admits that you insulted but only after someone else did...
