This is rubbish. We need not assume that our thoughts are true. We can often check and know for sure. Chance has nothing at all to do with it. Besides...

You're good then... just checkin'. Ya never know what people know... :wink:

Without marriage, if either of you dies... they may be more involved than you'd like, and possibly in ways that you'd not imagined they could.

An astute reader will note that it's a case of following from your use(s) and showing that it leads to a reductio ad absurdum.

:meh:

That's radical idealism...

It's not. The main arguments against it involve costs, as if it is too expensive to implement. That cost objection fails to consider that it is done a...

Eyes do not measure. Anthropomorphism.

:meh:

I agree. That is not a correct report of what I wrote.

I agree. 3+2=5 because we won't let it equal anything else. Numbers are rigid designators. Kripke argued - quite successfully on my view - that names ...

Photoreceptors are part of the system used by creatures with color vision capabilities as a means for detecting the reflection and/or emission of ligh...

Novels before the author just has no compulsory force whatsoever to me. There's not enough evidence in support of such a claim. All evidence is to the...

The number three is a specific mark of our own invention. We use "3" as well as "three" to pick out a specific quantity of individual things. We disco...

Moby Dick there too?

Discovery is of that which exists in it's entirety prior to it's discovery. Invention is to make something novel by combining pre-existing things in o...

You too with the equivocation... :meh:

The number three is the name we've attributed to a specified plurality of things... a quantity. Numbers are names for quantities. Predicates are descr...

Nah. That's what your account of color is.

If that were true then measuring requires only detection, reception, excitation, folding, and/or perception. According to this criterion, it would mak...

Looks like predicate logic to me. I could be dead wrong. I do not place an excessive amount of value upon either logic(classical) or predicate logic. ...

Please. I've given due attention, and I expect the same in return. Attend to the explanation thereof. Every answer you need from me, at this time, is ...

I'm still struggling a little bit here, particularly when I perform a substitution of terms with your proposed referents/definitions for those. You fi...

Yeah. I do not place much value upon logical possibility alone.

Metamers.

When and where there have never been humans, there could not ever have been chairs. That's what existential dependency amounts to on my view... and it...

Colors and color vision are not equivalent. I said that what chairs are is not the same as what colors are. The former is existentially dependent upon...

Thanks for the reply. I agree that frequency, spectral distribution, and color are not equivalent. So, that is not where my confusion lies, if I am st...

Risk what? His best chance to lose on purpose? :lol:

Yeah. Someone mentioned plausible deniability. :roll:

True propositions express facts. I like it. "Express" may be problematic.

Yep.

Moral people are so regardless of what the law says. All moral people. <-----that's the answer to your question in the OP.

That's what makes them all great in their own respects... :wink:

It's legal, and Trump has benefitted from both sides of such monetary corruption. He actually publicly bragged about it on a national debate stage in ...

We agree that there are colors. Our disagreement got clouded by all the jargon. Upon re-reading, had I understood then what I think I understand now, ...

So, it seems that we're not so much in disagreement aside from the claim you made that no other animal sees the frequencies that we call "red" as red....

There are true lies however, as a result of a lie being a statement by a speaker who is deliberately misrepresenting his/her belief. Not really ugly, ...

Yeah. I reject the notion of false facts. Facts must be true... You're also saying that they are not truth-apt though, and that is throwing me off... ...

But street, that all depends upon how we define/use the term "fact". Right?

"Fact" is a term that has several different acceptable uses. On pains of coherence, one's manner of talking will be helped or hindered, depending upon...

If Trump is the president of choice for Russia, and thus they meddle in order to get what they want, then why on earth would the same country meddle t...

Spectra are the light emitted from the crayon. Different animals perceive different spectral distributions - out of the spectra - than us. Some percei...

If A=B and A=C then B=C. If crayons are spectral distribution and spectra, then spectra are equal to spectral distribution. That can't be right. Spect...

Stating the case - no matter how simply it may be stated - is never cheating. I'll take the time to actually address what you've said here. "The same ...

Let's talk about what we've both agreed is the problem. I quoted it once. You've mentioned it more than once. Let's talk about it.

Rhetoric does not impress me.

I'm interested in what's true. Not everything you've said is bullshit.

Nice. The cavalry has shown up. :meh: The more the merrier.
