Prefixing the term "truth" with the term "the" is not always appropriate. That issue actually reflects yet another problem that arises in a post truth...

Sorry Mongrel... The aforementioned nuance warrants attention. I'll set it out. Let me know what you think afterwards... if you would, that is. Let tr...

This... ...has always been the case.

Look at page 45, about halfway down you'll find the following direct quote... "This has never not been the case." Keep in mind that it was a direct re...

Well that gets nuanced... very quickly.

No. What I call a post truth world was not captured in the quote.

No worries Cava. Real life comes first. ;)

I think that perhaps you meant to say that the conditions I set out earlier that lead to a post truth world have always been the case.

This claim... "We're not in a Post-Truth world..." ...conflicts with this claim... "It has never not been the case that a post truth world..."

Yup. Nearly everyone knows whether or not some claims are true/false. Simple ones that are easily verifiable/falsifiable. They can look for themselves...

I need to clarify something here, because upon re-reading my earlier post, it could be misleading. I do not mean to imply that recognizing an 'object'...

I agree that people expect honesty... generally speaking presume it in everyday conversation. I I'm curious, though... What leads you to think/believe...

Saying that "X" has never not been the case is to say that "X" has always been the case. When one says either, and then says that "X" is not the case,...

Seems we disagree. The manifestation of Trump most certainly is an inevitable consequence of a collective misunderstanding regarding truth. Between th...

Performative contradictions aren't acceptable Sand...

Glad we agree. X-)

When it is the case that a listener does not know what it would take for a claim to be true, then s/he is 'at the mercy' of a speaker who is most the ...

The post truth world is - on my view - a consequence of very few folk knowing what sorts of things can be true and what makes them so, and that has ve...

Are you denying that one must think/believe that something is there prior to thinking/believing that that something is called "a tree"?

To directly answer:All thought/belief is formed by virtue of drawing mental correlations between 'objects' of physiological sensory perception and/or ...

The fact that one must think/believe that something is there prior to thinking/believing that that something is called "a tree", shows that not all be...

Learning how to use language is not a belief. It requires forming and holding them.

One learning the names of things does not - cannot - perform a deliberative assessment concerning whether or not "That is a tree" is true.

Some. Not all. No. During language acquisition, one has no ability to perform such an assessment, and yet s/he is acquiring thought/belief via purely ...

You and I share an interest here:The everyday facts as they transpire time and time again with regard to how humans use physiological sensory percepti...

While there's much overlap of agreement, it seems, between Chomsky's position and my own... The notion of tabula rasa doesn't quite fit into the posit...

The criticism I'm leveling at equating "truth" with reality is all about the inherent incapability that that framework has in explaining what makes tr...

Well Srap... I, for one, have very good reason to think/believe that morality is largely misunderstood(conventionally ill-conceived), again, as a dire...

I don't know Srap. I would be very hesitant in combining moral assertions with assertions of thought/belief(truth claims).

No worries. I'm a direct realist. What would incorrect judgment look like if reality(the brick itself) does not and cannot have anything to do with th...

After having read the article, of course I'm going to object about how the word "perceive" is being used. On my view, it's unnecessarily confusing. I'...

I'll attend to the last portion next time around... X-) Looks promising...

Looks like justification... or warrant... Interesting none-the-less...

You've invoked judgment. It is worth noting here that, on my view, judgment and belief are not one in the same thing. Judgment is existentially contin...

Hey tim! We agree on that much. The following portion is a bit ambiguous, so I'm not sure what you're actually saying... The term "that" in the last s...

So then, with regard to analyzing truth... It's time to take a look at the different uses of the term "truth" in light of all this.. I find that it is...

Oh come now Jeep... X-) We could look at that little skirmish through the lense of post truth. It most certainly fits. Saying that "there is no eviden...

Our awareness of our own mental ongoings is contingent upon our being able to identify and isolate them. That requires attributing meaning to some pla...

Alright Cava, let's see if we can elucidate upon some things... Your example is clearly steeped in very complex thought/belief. That sequence of event...

I think that I understand what you're saying here Jeep. There is no doubt that language use reason and such makes humans quite different from other cr...

It is a strange colloquialism. Having lived in many different areas in the US and having many friends from around the globe, it's hard to tell where i...

I don't know. You could be self-deprecating like me, and poking fun at yourself. Or I could be completely missing the point of your reply. I do apprec...

Are you poking fun at me? :P

I don't understand that one.

On my view they are different Jeep...

You've misattributed meaning and mistakenly presupposed truth somewhere along the line. 8-) I'm not sad, nor am I complaining. Trump's victory did not...

X-) That(screaming hollering and crying) looks like output to me. Indeed regarding the last bit. Thought/belief has efficacy.

I would agree that we can and do use the notions of correctness without being forced to treat their appearance as an instance of correspondence. I'm n...

I'm not sure if I understand. Could you help me a bit by clarifying what you mean by "our input into what we sense"? Perhaps a pair of examples will h...

There's all sorts of things that purely scientific jargon cannot possibly take account of. Not everything that counts can be counted. ;)
