Now you're lying Sand. You didn't say that until much later in an edit that happened long after this talk about insulting had already begun. I know wh...

What the hell are you talking about? I'm not complaining that you insulted me. Here's the thing though... If you think/believe that I insulted you by ...

Whether or not you were trying to insult me is another matter altogether. It seems that Augustino and I agree on that much(that that was your intent).

Nah. What you write irritates me. It reeks of insincerity.

Oh. So, what I wrote did insult you?

I do not think that what I said insulted you Sand... Am I wrong?

Other folk show a tendency towards ad homs... regardless of whether or not they are blatantly insulting another.

Some folk look for reasons to be insulted. Not much one can do about that.

Likewise, what good does it do to focus upon which politician is more trustworthy, when it is the case that politicians do not write the laws? There's...

This bears repeating.. What good does it do to replace politicians, if it is not the politicians who are writing and implementing the laws?

So, there's been a long standing history of politicians being less than honest in their motives. The government has legitimized their own bribery. Leg...

I will. Sit down and shut the fuck up. You're making yourself look bad. You confirmed everything I wrote, all the while denying it...

...

Here's something else worthy of consideration... Do the American people elect candidates based upon what the candidates themselves think/believe, or d...

Mull that one over for a bit...

What good does it do to replace each and every politician if it is the case that they do not write the legislation that they pass?

So if we put this into the appropriate context, the term post-truth began being bandied about during and especially right after a leader was elected d...

I expected that... X-) I tried to make it relevant.

Perhaps something can be gleaned if we focus upon what counts as an acceptable lie, if anything at all does. I mean, the current situation involves an...

Regarding Heiddy's notion of Truth... In a post truth world where truth is unconcealedness, that which is the case but has long since been hidden is n...

The following two claims are not the same... Anyone can look and see that for themselves.

In a post truth world where truth is unconcealedness, that which is the case but has long since been hidden is no longer hidden. The world after the u...

That's not what I wrote, nor does it follow from what I wrote.

It's not that I do not grasp what you're claiming Meta. Rather, it's that I do, and I know that it's wrong in several ways... First of all, the term "...

The Heidegger tangent is relevant due to Heiddy's use of the term "truth". In a post truth world where truth is unconcealedness, that which is the cas...

You're conflating our talk with what we're talking about. The world isn't existentially contingent upon the term "world"....

I think we both understand one another Banno. Our differences do not help the thread along, as far as I can see...

You're conflating reports of thought/belief with thought/belief(metacognition and cognition).

It requires drawing mental correlation(s) between 'objects' of physiological sensory perception and/or the agent's own mental state.

I'm not sure which argument about metacognition you're asking me to provide. There are many I employ, depending upon the context of the discussion. I'...

Same straw man, different post... Thinking/believing that something is there does not require thinking/believing that it is a "something".

One cannot understand rationality if one does not understand one's own thought/belief. That ought be of prime interest.

You changed the criterion regarding what counts as a bullshitter...

Mark remembers Bill getting out of a blue car. When asked to tell the truth about who got out of that car, there is only one acceptable criterion to j...

If the bullshitter's purpose is to deliberately cause people to believe something other than what happened, then the truth or falsehood of the stateme...

The Donald and the Clintons share that personality 'trait'.

Oh, wait... You're calling pure pragmatic folk "bullshitters"... In that sense, I agree. >:O

X-) All lies, including those of the bullshitter, are deliberate misrepresentations of what the speaker thinks/believes. Agree?

Hey Brian! Just to be clear. I was pointing out the consequence of a specific linguistic/conceptual framework(schema, if you prefer) that I do not agr...

On my view, you're reporting upon your own thought/belief, and identifying the content of the report on it's own terms, and then calling that the cont...

Lies can be true. That is because sincerity doesn't guarantee truth. When one is speaking sincerely, s/he believes what they say. Likewise, when someo...

Hey Banno! I think that what you're getting at here, given the context of 'post-truth', be best put a bit differently. Sharpened up a bit, as it were....

On page one the following was written... The above has all the different senses of "truth" as it's target, and then mistakenly implies that checking f...

What does perception consist in/of? That question requires a standard of measure; a criterion. What is the criterion, which when satisfied by X, count...

I realize that the following quote wasn't directed at me, but it is something I find quite interesting... Doesn't this imply that thought/belief is ex...

I would agree to this, generally speaking. However, if the osprey is capable of perception, which is presupposed by the last claim above, it leads one...

When we see something and identify it as a tree, we do not think/believe that it is called a tree until then. Thought/belief does not require identifi...

Nothing I said leads to what you're arguing against.

If reality is within us, and reality and interpretation are different aspects of reality, then reality and interpretation are within us, and yet other...

I hold that the complexity of one's thought/belief increases after language acquisition, and then again upon metacognition. The main difference betwee...
