The sheer number of agents who were working with American government and have come up either missing or murdered since Trump left office hasn't been o...
That just seems way too convoluted and theory laden... Seems to me like there's nothing more to the book being in Michael's room than the book, the ro...
Seems to me that we're perfectly capable of understanding what sorts of thoughts are exclusive to humans and what sorts are not. It would make no sens...
I think we can in both principle and practice. It takes knowledge of what the difference is between language less creatures' belief and language users...
It's all about the content of the belief Sam. I think you would agree that believing a mouse is under the stove depends upon the prior existence of a ...
That first sentence is very long, but the more I read it over, the more it looks like a partially formed incomplete thought. Be that as it may, I've t...
One consideration worth mentioning... An overlap happens between language less creatures' belief and belief of language users. The overlap could be re...
In the bottom quote above you are doing what you said we could not do in the top quote. In addition, we've also arrived at incoherency/self-contradict...
Only after we first stipulated what counted as eleven meters. Not before. The fact that the tree is eleven meters tall is existentially dependent upon...
We may be talking about different trees. The one in my front yard is most certainly outside of language. The term "tree" consists of meaningful marks....
I'm not defending that use of "linguistic fact" or "non-linguistic" fact. All kettles were, are, and will forever remain to be, existentially dependen...
Hey Sam, sorry about the delay. Doctor visit. I think we agree much more than the above seems to suggest. Could you re-read that post and tell me at w...
When and where there has never been language there could have never been stoves. That sums up the difference between our views it seems. The object th...
Indeed. Gives me time to do this though! lol. Cannot move around as usual, otherwise I would not be doing this. There are more real life results based...
I do not completely agree with Davidson or Witt. There are important differences at a fundamental level between their views and my own. My and your vi...
I may or may not be one of those philosophers, but I do think common language is capable of being precise enough. Language can be honed. For example, ...
Not necessarily use against what you said so much as attempting to makes sense of how the 'actual world' posited earlier fit into the carving. You've ...
Would not put it past 'them' to steal an election... Right. Especially given how they had replaced as many of the decision makers as they possibly cou...
Given the strict chain of custody standards concerning the information itself, it can be known if anything is still missing. If that ends up being the...
Looks a lot like a cool marble from a vantage point far enough away in space. We have pictures. I'm surprised you haven't seen one. Maybe you've forgo...
I agree that language less belief can be put into propositional form. That's how we present it to one another. Our ability to render language less bel...
You posited an actual world then clearly stipulated a forbidden access/purchase to/upon that actual world. You then posited your experience as another...
Facts give the meaning of true sentences? I don't see the benefit in what you're doing. Maybe I do not understand. Getting rid of the distinction betw...
How else can you know that the one is not the other if not by performing a comparison/contrast between the two purportedly distinct things? In order t...
This presupposes that such an agreement is not already complete in the making aside from making it outwardly known. :wink: From where I sit Banno, you...
This is very close to what makes the most sense to me regarding falsification/verification. If we nix "it's true that" and swap "idea" with meaningful...
It's all about that which is existentially dependent upon language and that which is not. We need language to draw and maintain that distinction, so o...
Janus, while that is true, it is also true that "cat" is meaningless beyond what is communally perceived and conceived to be a cat. Cats, however, do ...
Difficulty indeed. There's no rejection of truth there Banno. Not in the least. What I've done is begin to point out that of all the notions of "truth...
Four suits. Jan. 6. Georgia. New York suit. Now Mar-A-Lago. Still early in the last but, the new pic is worth a thousand words. Conspiracy to defraud ...
Because correspondence to fact is presupposed within all belief about the world, the presupposition of truth connects all thinking believing creatures...
