By the way, I might add, I believe modal logic is capable of a ad hoc proof of the necessity of formally consistent and hypothetically complete formal...

I don't think we can have the cake and eat it too here. The way things seem is that the very notion of possibility within a system of physical laws gi...

Logic doesn't have that kind of dimensionality, but physics does. Are there any further conclusions based on this that can be said?

Sure, I would like to highlight your uncertainty as stemming from not knowing how logical space can exist. Is it true in how I'm framing the ambiguity...

Yes, well may I ask whether there are things that cannot be modeled in a computer? I'm also trying to understand your argument about logic being trans...

What makes you believe that is true?

Is this chicken or egg? Physics came first in a non-anthropological manner. QED?

Then what is a model to you? Wittgenstein called it a picture of reality, no?

If physics is to be descriptive of logic, then, a "cause" would be defined by how the system of laws governing physics works, and from there to deduce...

I am once again focusing on this as the thesis of this thread. If one were to know the antithetic nature of what apokrisis said then it might be deduc...

I'd like to point out counterfactuals but don't have enough information to conjecture about it. Thoughts?

I think your right about this. You seem updated with the right semantic model in mind.

It's not an issue with mathematics as it may seem. It's an issue with the very notion of possibility theory in systems, such as physics which quite po...

I hope not literally. :fear: The complexity of the world is actually quite scary.

I don't really know. I'm just as confused as you are. Hegel may have made some sense with dialectical materialism as you alluded to.

Yes, you nailed it. I think this is the fundamental thesis upon which this thread is about. I don't really have much to say myself at the moment. Just...

This is actually what happened. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D0EYv8yod3A

As a child I was already influenced by the philosophy of Plato, which my father bestowed upon me. Never grew out of it, frankly.

Let's go California! :party:

Isn't the rule following paradox, which philosophers still debate to this day, solved by the way the language center of the brain is uniform for many ...

How goes it? Long time no see, hehe.

:party:

No, this does not make sense for a woman to do the things she does for her child out of a sense of duty. I've heard this argument before and feminist ...

What happened to Sanders during 2016 was pretty wild. Hands down he would have won, but, the Clinton's wanted it their way and look what we got...

Not to sound snide; but, what about the ethics of care, by philosophers such as Carol Gilligan and Nel Noddings? The very centerpiece of ethics has be...

They're pretty well known. You can find their most esteemed symbol on the $1 bill. See for yourself: https://vaseemkhan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03...

Yes, Moby Dick seems to be the conundrum. As for Scotland, it's all about brotherhood and unity, as per the Freemason's that live there.

I visit x.com, Elon Musk's playground, and the way things stand is something to the matter with how Harris speaks. It's a little troubling that she ca...

Keep calm and carry on UK. By the way, what's all the protesting about in Ireland and elsewhere. Whales does its own thing and Scotland is always prac...

I honestly thought at one point Nancy Pelosi was the ideal candidate for Democrats. There isn't much to like about Harris.

Thoughts about Kamala Harris?

:party:

Just a pig here... https://assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com/hub/i/r/2018/12/18/7c54d823-a33a-41c1-b94d-928c5a289e0a/thumbnail/620x349/092471990158a7eb9fd2d2d...

I'd like to further point out a perhaps stronger point against Wittgenstein the 'cognitivist,' with the beetle-in-the-box concept. It would be hard to...

Its actually funny that people complain about the DNC and RNC for nominating unlikable and forced candidates. Such things are too important to allow c...

Interesting. I take it as something that Wittgenstein could not fully elucidate; but, negated the concept of a form of life (by implication) into a pr...

Yes, I believe Wittgenstein called it the "metaphysical subject." It seems that the act of willing in Schopenhauer's philosophy is mired with a sense ...

Yes, well I don't know where you got the idea that Schopenhauer is only for the depressed. Philosophical pessimism does not make one depressed. Correl...

The Dionysian instincts that the ancient Greeks alluded to are tame in the mind of a human being nowadays. We have aspired towards an Apollonian way o...

Yes, I believe what you are saying is true and more fruitful to the understanding of human nature, which has been a debate framed in the right manner ...

I am simply questioning whether it is something that can be justified as a reason to operate on, or whether these reasons are brute facts about existe...

If your asking for my opinion or thought on the matter, what I understand about the very will to live is that by most theories it is healthy and good ...

I think this is a fair assumption that Schopenhauer wrote his aphorisms with the hope that humanity might benefit from the reduction of pain through a...

I don't believe that his philosophy was the result of his upbringing or nurture. Pessimism towards the world that Schopenhauer describes is, to me, st...

Yes, so, just wondering what you would say about why Schopenhauer focused on pessimism as the correct attitude to profess towards the suffering of the...

Yes, there's a lot to say about this. Goes way beyond what philosophy can hope to elucidate.

I see. Maybe the ascetic life could contribute to such a 'better consciousness', or at least that is how I interpret it. He did individuate a person o...

I was mostly alluding to Schopenhauer's own conclusions on what you call 'indifference' to the situation of the Other. I don't think he was overt abou...

I haven't really seen anything about the eastern posited higher consciousness. Sorry to say, but it sounds too New Age to ascribe onto Schopenhauer, a...
