To those that believe the consciousness can survive the death: does the possibility exist of consciousness dying? How, when and why does this happen o...

If something is (or even if it is not), we can make a word to refer to it. Furthermore, if something is, it must have properties. Words can be made to...

There's potential within both groups and individuals, although that's often potential to different things. I don't see how a culture can have potentia...

It's not just a causal relationship: the problem at hand is a direct manifestation of the inequality. In your example of the serial killer, it's relev...

If that essence is believed to exist by the people of some culture, then that essence exists as a mental construct within that culture.

Are you saying we can do that without being born?

Whoa, I didn't consider this at all to be honest - that one could have infallible knowledge with justification that isn't infallible. I'd actually lik...

I don't think so because if the knowledge doesn't depend on the justification, only whether one believes the belief to be justified, it only matters w...

I agree in principle but the choice of words seems perplexing. How can the cause of something be secondary to that something it causes?

I fully agree with your comment otherwise, but I think the distinction between these two should be made through the justification rather than the know...

Let's say a person is asked what is the four-dimensional solid of revolution that forms when the graph f(x,y) rotates around x,y-plane in respect to t...

The leftist stance said in my previous comment stated, I also like Jordan Peterson's stance on the glass ceiling and why there are so much more men on...

First of all the (b) is the case, which is a statistically verifiable fact. In that the women are on average paid less than men the problem is, of cou...

That's quite a conclusion to jump into. Maybe artists just feel more overall.

A justified true belief is true knowledge. It seems logical that justified belief is then knowledge. Knowledge can be false. Therefore a justified bel...

I wonder if I can tie this discussion back to the false knowledge, that was some interesting stuff back there.

Why not? For example, when a belief has sufficient evidence it's justified, but if two equally valid conclusions can be drawn from evidence, one could...

If a belief is false, then one could believe that belief to be false. Yet, if the belief is justified, one can also believe it to be justified. Yes, u...

I'm not considering them both, I accept both as justified beliefs. How does it matter what time we're talking about? Does it change with time whether ...

An opinion can be reasonable but false, so I would designate the belief as false. Example: both believing in God and not believing in God are reasonab...

Maybe not ideal, but the potential is still there. And some potential states are ideal from subjective point of view.

I said "... or a reason to believe in it or...". One can have an opinion but recognize it as a subjective opinion while accepting that other opinions ...

I've actually been using two different definitions in this thread. The first one is to consider justified to mean well and sufficiently justified, to ...

I disagree with the demonstration because I disagree with you on the definition of justification, and thus on whether false beliefs (or knowledge) can...

Are they not? Ok, how do you define sound, then?

Well, I'm arguing against it, but the conclusion in my last comment did have the assumption that you're arguing for it. If justified means just sound,...

So you're saying a sound guess can be knowledge? It would be sound that a die is thrown and the result is 6, but believing that prior to the throw wou...

How do you define justified?

So Smith used to know the event, but when it happens, he no longer knows that?

My question is whether it was justified, not whether it is anymore.

Why? The only reason I can see for that is one's selfishness resulting in that they don't want to be the one in the worse situation. Mercy is an expre...

I've heard enough, dog it is.

What if a justified belief turns out to be false? Does that change whether the belief was justified?

Every fact has a possibility of being false, in which case they would be unjustified according to you. Whether the belief is justified or not cannot d...

So you're saying that only certain beliefs are justified? So the only justified belief is that I exist?

Even if it's unjust? I wouldn't call the minimal action done to only prevent further crimes a punishment, but if that is done, what about not killing ...

Don't drag me into that, that's not even my stance. If someone uses a bad or fallacious argument, I am going to point that out and argue against that ...

Irrelevant. We're talking about an opinion of a person in 21st century. Why are you acting dumb? I couldn't have denied them as I haven't made any cla...

Well, we do. Those justifications are just not valid.

No, that is a description of what communist dictatorships have been in practice, and describes communism as an ideology about as accurately as the sys...

Someone uses that belief to justify their belief in something else, therefore it's a justification. It's a bad one, yes, and the belief is not well ju...

You know that's not what was meant by what was written.

It'd not be immoral to not give him a death sentence and instead put him in jail. The jail sentence doesn't exist for the sake of punishing criminals ...

He doesn't need to. Estimates can be made perfectly well, and are done on a daily basis. For example, in that example, is it not valid to say that the...

But the possibilities exist. You have a justified belief, although the justification is a bad one, so you know her name, but the knowledge might be fa...

Yes. Otherwise there exists a possibility that it's false knowledge.

I got an error message or something saying my comment has been queued for moderation or something which I haven't seen before. I'm not banned or anyth...

I'm using justified as a synonym for well justified because that's what is meant by justified (badly justified is an oxymoron and makes that condition...

Hey, no ad hominems here. No he's not. There is only enough information to make justified statements about probabilities.

Are you claiming my addressing of them wasn't satisfactory enough? How so?
