I still think it's a language issue and it revolves around the verb "shows". I agree with Srap it doesn't make sense to pretend a coin has three state...

Clearly untrue, considering the amount of time you've spend defending trump didn't commit crimes. It's petulant and devoid of reason: "I'm right, you'...

even if that were true and the law isn't about morality, you're still expected to follow it. By inference you then agree that he broke the law otherwi...

also had a cult following that believed all his bullshit.
June 10, 2023 at 04:52
Isn't this problem a consequence of asking the wrong question, because the question is ambiguous? Given the setup, and that you'd be woken twice if it...

Help sounds like a mental institution to me, possibly a Chinese reeducation camp if we can outsource it.

It's the nuclear option for neoliberal capitalists as it limits their capability to make profits.

It's about energy usage, how much people travelled and consumed. 1970 would be fine. Some dude in the Netherlands did the calculations at some point.
May 21, 2023 at 19:22
Pot meet kettle. The only one "modifying" clear science here is you. You say you disagree with the conclusion we're in a man-made climate crisis but I...
May 21, 2023 at 07:42
Actually. 1960—1970ish would be fine. For the whole world.

1. Largest consumers are western countries and therefore cause the most pollution and that includes the pollution in other countries that produce to m...

Streetlight had some choice things to say about this whining about platforms and deplatforming. "Should we give Trump a platform?": is the wrong quest...

Anyone who brushes past could leave or not leave dna on a dress. Unless it's semen, it would be wrong to assume the dna of that man, was of a man who ...
May 11, 2023 at 10:03
No sperm cells were found in the DNA on the dress so comparing the DNA wouldn't prove anything.
May 10, 2023 at 15:44
I don't think we will see any meaningful change in how the war is progressing because from a military perspective it makes no sense to communicate an ...

The only unit of analysis is cash in a capitalist system, which is what the one party will support at any cost. The cultural discussions about abortio...

Not really. Just a matter of degree. The poor would be poorer and the rich richer under Trump.
April 26, 2023 at 05:42
Really? I think AI puts out derivative crap so far.
April 20, 2023 at 09:38
Because it's not a matter of regulation, which is never universal, but ethics and culture. Law is more about economics than anything else. Since this ...

This ship has sailed and government will be too slow to act. Delete social media, ignore marketing and read a book to manage your own sanity.
April 14, 2023 at 10:04
You think it's a good thing to boycott a medium for diplomacy? When countries entered in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations they considered...

His indictment consists of 34 felony charges, which are often prosecuted as misdemeanors but that doesn't make them midsdemeanors. Read it here: https...

So according to you there are no situations where lying is unjustified and immoral? You mention exceptions to a proposed exception. Reasoning a contra...
April 07, 2023 at 08:13
I still don't know what you think a right is based on this. I'd think it's not such a complicated question for you to dance around the answer like thi...
April 05, 2023 at 15:37
hmmm... I think we need to go a step deeper. What is your definition of a "right"? Describe a basic situation in a theoretical base state (so no socia...

@"NOS4A2" Can you get back to this question? https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/794202
April 01, 2023 at 12:22
Free account. So GPT-3.5 then!
March 31, 2023 at 11:58
It's not time-stamped unfortunately. It was last week so that would be GPT-4, I think?
March 31, 2023 at 10:35
@"Pierre-Normand" Finally got access to my earlier discussion: R. S. How many words of information do you have on the subject of sentience in relation...

By what mechanism do men confer rights? And how do you reconcile this with your earlier statement: I believe rights are naturally founded, derived fro...

It seems like distributed intelligence. The LLM does things and the conversational aspect does things but without these being integrated or reflexive....
March 30, 2023 at 13:21
We were talking about theory of law and the 4 leading theories aren't compelling to me in any way. I agree with Marx that an important part of law is ...
March 30, 2023 at 07:16
Jesus, what a weak come back. You probably shoot like you talk, not able to hit anything either. Guns and words are wasted on you.
March 30, 2023 at 04:56
Ah finally it's clear. You have a theory of law stemming from the middle ages. No wonder almost all your ideas are regressive.
March 29, 2023 at 20:48
Likewise! I think your original assumption is correct if we refer to how people normally use these words, although to be honest, I've never used sapie...
March 29, 2023 at 15:02
Interesting talks with GPT4. I had one on consciousness with it. It's heavily influenced by Searle and Chalmers. And I'm a bit annoyed by its standard...
March 29, 2023 at 09:02
You sound too interested in what people look like under their skin. Better stay away from guns!
March 29, 2023 at 06:44
Except of course, we play these games in other countries as well without going on a killing spree. The link has been researched repeatedly as well wit...
March 29, 2023 at 06:26
Canada, obviously. I'm getting tired and bored from this thread. I think it's amazing media still report on them and politicians offer thoughts and pr...

No they don't. The whole reason arbitrage works is because information assymetry, which we even see in highly liquid, transparent stock markets, let a...

I thought you were talking about this website in particular in the previous comment. But yes, I agree, stifling of dissenting opinions has been a prob...
March 13, 2023 at 15:00
I apologise for missing that. I jumped back in after that apparently.
March 13, 2023 at 14:54
I saw more proof for the moral bankruptcy of capitalism and neo-liberal me-me-me. But hey, I know people blamed everything on the socialist government...
March 13, 2023 at 12:55
Who has been censored here? Seems like a bit of an exagerration. Or maybe people are just done with Covid and tired of it? That's mostly it for me to ...
March 13, 2023 at 12:53
I think I said: "would finally give room for more balanced discussions" not "let's forget about it".
March 13, 2023 at 12:21
How are healthcare workers dancing aligned with big-pharma (presumably powerful people you're talking about) because there we don't know but you opt t...
March 13, 2023 at 11:08
Yes they are. So one wonders why you consistently only air one side of the debate.
March 13, 2023 at 09:56
Yes, that meta-study by Cochrane is flawed in many ways. I just linked one of the few studies specifically dealing with masking and covid and a large ...
March 13, 2023 at 08:36
I can think of a compelling reason not to go along with the "let's take pot shots at people having fun" but I'm sure you can figure that one out by yo...

Or... Or... Just maybe it was an outlet for people strung out on death and stress?
