Well done. Gotta love the simplicity of the T sentence.

So, evidently there are some serious questions regarding when, exactly, Trump knew he had corona. In addition when, exactly, he contracted it. There a...

It is only those obsessive type who do... because we do not have a choice. I see Merk beat me to it!

What sort of things can be true and what makes them so?

It's an accounting practice of that which existed in it's entirety prior to his account. As is linguistics.

That would be the last time that guy got invited to my dinner party. :wink:

Looks like using the forum for a free advertising campaign...

In which case, the speaker intended to say "latrine", and the conventional meaning of the term aligns perfectly with the speaker's intent.

I disagree, but it's irrelevant here. Infinite regress is the result of inadequate accounting practices. Therefore, either true belief does not requir...

That which is interpreted is already meaningful. We interpret meaningful things... correctly or not(and that has some nuance). There is an actual diff...

Conflating truth and belief is not helpful here. That's a large part of problem.

And yet non linguistic creatures have true belief. Did you miss my post on the bottom of page nine? It answers all this. I do not agree. When mistaken...

I think it has more to do with socio-economic policy... but yeah. Seems that way, huh? They certainly do everything in their power to inhibit certain ...

Things that make you go hmmmmmm......

That's the knowledge that grounds a shutdown and widespread testing and quarantine. That knowledge has not been utilized in the UK or the States...

This is one of the problems with academia in general, I think. Davidson's notion of "first" being a prime example. The historical notion of "necessary...

The Biden campaign said it was in the process of temporarily taking down all its negative ads regarding Mr Trump. Negative ads? Pfft. How about using ...

The lack of respect/concern for the pandemic is the direct result of false and/or irrelevant belief about it. That is in no short supply. The effects/...

Is this verified? Who's reporting this?

Thanks. :smile: Took me a long time to grasp that much, and I realize that I left all sorts of stuff out. I just wonder if anything I did not discuss ...

That's not good enough for what I'm getting at. I'll keep this brief... Rudimentary language use consists - in part at least - of simple, basic, and/o...

:rofl: Hard for me to feel guilty about knowing that the world is better off without some people in it. While I would not wish or hope death upon anyo...

I would agree. But I meant "what language is, and how it works" in the sense of what all language consists of such that it can and does work; that it'...

While I'll not claim to have a complete theory of language here, I do wonder what you think about how I handled malapropisms at the bottom of page nin...

I think that's fair. The deeper issue, by my lights anyway, is that whatever his notion of convention includes, it most certainly does not take it's e...

Simply put, it seems clear to me that the notions of 'prior' and 'passing' theory are the result of not quite having a good enough grasp upon what lan...

Well Un, putting that common sense understanding to good use may shed some much needed light upon the subject matter, but doing so requires a methodol...

Seems an extremely overcomplicated way to explain the need to misattribute meaning to words as the only means to successfully interpret meaningful but...

I've already explained where and how he failed. It happened long before he concluded that the third principle failed. Note that the explanation I offe...

Tomorrow. I've spent enough time on this for one day. The question isn't about what I've missed regarding the odd success of malapropisms. It's about ...

Correlations drawn between different things<---------------that's what all attribution of meaning has in common; the irreducible core. Don't ask me to...

Unless you're Trump. Then it's certainly a competition to get people to believe what he believes and/or wants others to believe. :razz:

Ok. I think I've finally wrapped my head around this paper(Davidson's train of thought)... The issue:Malapropisms break the rules of conventional lang...

Hmmm... Interesting.

Who are the plaintiffs?

Knowledge of which would certainly directly answer any questions about why Trump was not charged by Mueller and his team as well as verifying/falsifyi...

So, Trump does everything in his power to impede, influence, and/or obstruct any and all oversight and/or investigations into his behaviour. Part of t...

Which is odd, right? I mean, it's his notion. He invoked it. He began with a more conventional notion, then set it aside in lieu of what he called fir...

Alleged, alleged, alleged... Amazing? Bullshit. Distraction.

Mental correlations drawn between different things. A spanner is a type of wrench. :wink:

Condemning white supremacists once while doing everything else Trump does is like condemning homosexuality with Putin's dick in his mouth.

I would agree.

If Biden just refused to acknowledge Trump, sat in silence when being interrupted allowing the moderator to quiet the manchild, but instead just conti...

I think Biden has it in him to not be dragged into the mud. I hope he exercises better self-regulation in the next two, because the facts are quite si...

Politically speaking, I agreed with both by and in large... although I reject the Capitalism/Socialism dichotomy. Both seemed to be fairly smart fairl...

Bernie or even Obama would have wiped the floor with Trump. Granted, it would have been two entirely different methods, but both would.

The sad part is that these two men are actual candidates for the presidency, and neither seemed capable of keeping it together enough to participate i...

Be the change you want to see... Biden is better off patiently waiting with an incredulous stare when Trump is being Trump. Although, if the only repl...

The Great Whatever... a poster from here and the old forum who was banned.

Reminded me of TGW.
