I agree that it would be a contradiction to assert the voluntary work is compulsory work. What I meant by tautological was that voluntary work is auto...

It’s definitely not my favorite.

It would seem somewhat incoherent to me if someone asserted that work could be compulsory, meaning involuntary, if you voluntarily agreed to work. Bec...

Fair enough.

okay I was just checking.

Does this include mind control?

Exploit the nature of what? What kind of twist do you have in mind?

bro I’m literally going blind trying to read your arguments. I apologize if I’m fucking it up but that is not my intention. I spend way too much time ...

Idk. If you’re only interested in what “feels” true I don’t know why you decided to discuss the subject of what is actually true. I made it explicit t...

Well I suppose you can always discuss something else with someone else.

What do you mean?

I will.

Good riddance.

I read your view of this, explain it again. I won’t re-read it.

Correct me if I’m wrong but according to your own understanding of pragmatic truth a car accident would render your beliefs pragmatically false. That’...

To each his own I suppose.

how do you measure whether or not it “works”? You gave me an example of driving but let’s say that at some point in the future you got into a tragic t...

I don’t know a lot about pragmatism so I won’t be able to truly understand your argument until I take the time to investigate the subject.

to each his own I suppose.

I don’t think that everything is an illusion. But if you don’t have a choice when it comes to what you believe then it doesn’t seem like you have any ...

How am I supposed to take these sentences seriously? You say that have knowledge that informs your assertion but then you claim that anyone who claims...

I try to avoid using truth and knowledge as rhetorical devices.

You’re not really referring to a specific argument. Also I’m not a logician. But from what I know about soundness in arguments it means that the premi...

that’s a good question.

I don’t know what you mean by “ought”.

I’m not a platonist so idk. I don’t know how you could possibly sift through good and bad information if you don’t know what is true or false.

I don’t even know how to go about investigating those kinds of questions. I apologize if I’m coming across as some sort of pompous ass. I am genuinely...

but there has to be a reason why you believe that.

I don’t think it’s my job to edify anybody.

I don’t see any difference between diamonds and pebbles but maybe you’re right about there being no perfect answer to my question.

I don’t appreciate your belligerence but I will answer you. I don’t believe that knowledge is impossible because I believe that I have some.

Why do you believe this?

Sensory data is so vague it could include the so called “sixth sense”. What is a sense? What is nonsense? I’m just taking the piss by the way.

Isn’t empiricism a concept?

That would make all knowledge “actionable” regardless of what “system” produced it.

I honestly don’t understand why this is problematic.

Maybe you’re right.

I’m not a nerd so don’t really know what data is. It sounds like a synonym for information and I’ve already outlined my thoughts on that in my previou...

But how do you discern fact from fiction? If it’s with more “information” then I’m sorry but I just can’t see how that isn’t circular.

I honestly don’t know how it’s possible.

I could ask you how you know that this definition isn’t completely worthless but it seems tangential. I’d prefer to ask you what you mean by informati...

I hope you will even if I can’t verify what took place in your heart of hearts.

lol I like you.

But how do you know that all of this actually took place? What if you were hallucinating or dreaming and awoke to find yourself in a world where none ...

I did that for the sake of clarity. I hope you’ll pardon me.

How do you know that the telescope actually exists? What if it was just a mirage?

how do I know that the surgeon is real?

I’m not a skeptic.

But how do you know that your experiences are reliable or that you are interpreting them correctly?

But how do you verify the validity of experience? Do you need another experience? If you use experience to verify the validity of experience then that...
