I see nothing there that I would disagree with Cava. Regarding the comment about two processes... Physiological sensory perception on my view is akin ...

And then there's one Michael Flynn... He has a story to tell, and he's more than willing to tell it, if he's granted immunity. Where is Michael Flynn?...

The result of understanding truth and the role that it plays in all thought/belief is the lack of being surprised. That may or may not be considered a...

Greetings Cava! Yes. It is fair to say that existential contingency is an ontological concept. However, I find that it's better regarded as a method w...

I see. In our world, having an answer marked as correct requires only what you've already noted. However, as you've also noted, a correct answer can b...

So, if you want to get something that looks like truth without using the term, look towards children who have yet to have become aware of their own fa...

I think that our awareness of truth and the role that it plays in our thought/belief comes only as a result of mistakenly presupposing it.

What would count as looking like truth, if not looking like some pre-conceived notion of "truth"?

Interesting. Is this in line with what I've written, by your lights?

The investigation, it seems to me, will be much shorter than one might think. That's because of the sheer number of people who have already been under...

Since no one else addressed this, according to their own position upon truth, I'll attempt to situate truth(as correspondence) within the series of ev...

On my view, thought/belief always uses correspondence with/to fact/reality, including situations when that presupposition goes unnoticed and/or unment...

Roll over Beethoven... X-)

We know the Russian operatives' objective. We know that Paul Manafort entered into a contract which clearly expressed that same objective. We know tha...

What are the words "the concept of" doing here? Is the concept of truth equivalent to correspondence with/to fact/reality?

Greetings wis... Not on my view. Yup. Nor need it be. There is no sight/sense of a tree and another tree when there is no plurality. I can't make head...

Hey Jeep! Nice of you to join in. Ok. Thanks for kind words. I would not use those terms like that. The relationship between thought and language is s...

There is another burden at hand. It seems that stimulus/response needs to be somehow 'factored' into this position; taken account of, I suppose. I mea...

Sigh... Saying and knowing are two different things. What you've said doesn't follow from what I said... aka non sequitur/strawman. What you said was ...

I know. Sad thing is that it seems that s/he actually believes what s/he says... Sand admittedly doesn't know what counts as proving Russian collusion...

So, Sand doesn't know what counts as proving Russian collusion, which means s/he doesn't know what kind of evidence would be considered relevant or wh...

Unless you know what counts as proof of Russian collusion, you cannot know what does not.

Translation=I've seen no evidence, so I cannot decide. I've certainly not seen enough to convince me of guilt. I'm fine with that.

Perfectly mistaken on several fronts. Strictly speaking, the claim is not true on it's face, because the public is privy to some testimony, other docu...

Again - for shits and giggles alone - what, exactly, would count as evidence in your opinion?

I wonder - again, just for shits and giggles - how someone can claim "there is no evidence" with utmost certainty simply because none has been provide...

I wonder, just for shits and giggles, how one who argues in Trump's defense would answer the following question... What counts as proof of criminal wr...

Due to the sheer unusualness of what's been set out thus far - for clarity alone - there's a need to further develop the notion of pre-linguistic thou...

Nice post.

Mueller has already interviewed Manafort. Manafort detailed the meeting at Trump Tower that has captured recent headlines... X-) Trump Jr. has been ca...

All language presupposes thought/belief. Thought/belief consists in/of correlation. Correlation presupposes the existence of it's own content. Thus, s...

There is no true for me and true for you, unless one conflates truth and belief, which is precisely what you're doing.

Nope. Sincerity is not equal to being true. One can sincerely express false belief.

It does not follow from the fact that belief can be false that truth can be false. Yet, that is the move you keep making.

Meta, what on your view is the difference between belief and truth? Earlier you concluded that since thought/belief can be false, so too can truth. Th...

That's how your thought/belief about the matter works. How warrant and investigation works is another matter altogether, and your understanding isn't ...

I'd be happy to see an argument stated in argumentative form. As would others, I presume. Can you provide something other than gratuitous assertions?

We don't continue to say "X is true" after becoming aware that it is not. What's the difference between believing that "X is true" and "X" being true?

You're not very good at this, are you? The initial investigation concerned Russian interference in the election. That is a given. Warrants were issued...

Provide your argument in less convoluted terms. State the premisses and a valid conclusion from them, and we can take it from there.

p1. Warrant requires evidence p2. Warrants have been issued C1. There is evidence The primary premiss is true. The secondary premiss is true. The conc...

Well then Sand. I've offered up my argument. Evidently, I've gotten yours wrong. So... Address mine, and offer yours.

There's a bit of irony here involving the operative thought/belief that Sand is working from, given the title of the thread. Faux news strikes again b...

My argument goes like this... p1. Warrant requires evidence. p2. Warrants have been issued. C1. There is evidence.

Releasing the evidence of an ongoing investigation into the public sphere is not allowed. That is especially true regarding cases of this magnitude. S...

May I suggest that you say what you mean? :-}

You're lost. You're claiming that there is no evidence, when you mean that there has been no evidence provided. I'm claiming that there is evidence, d...

Here's something to consider though... Proving that Russians hacked the dnc server and that Trump's campaign facilitated that is not necessary for pro...

The claim that "there is no evidence the Russians hacked the DNC and no evidence Trump or his campaign facilitated that" means something quite differe...
