I don't understand the question. Can you rephrase it?

I heard that Musk will offer money to those that want to move, so I'm not sure it will necessarily be the elite of a nation. It might as well be the a...

Yes, it would be a group of people. Most likely the elite of the World, no?

It's rather obvious that the opposite of depression is lack of it. But, how does one explain a lack of depression is rather difficult. Any thoughts?

As mentioned, I don't think the idea will take off without some social conditioning. Any thoughts on how to make such a thing possible?

Here are some further thoughts. Mars will initially be comprized of the elite of the World. This trend will continue up to some point. I don't know if...

Please share some thoughts on the matter. Thanks.

Both. You can't discern facts without objects and the other way around.

Please expand.

That's true. So, sincerity alone isn't enough, as usual?

Here I agree. I would interject, however, that having a "good will" is not sufficient alone.

Dude, that's awesome possum.

Abstractions are moot. Facts remain supreme.

I'm not sure if the apparent indignation over the topic is directed at me or not. If so, apologies for making a parody where one was not asking for on...

It can be argued that sincerity is a basic desire from which emanates the good of man. Thoughts?

I believe all acts of charity and good deeds are required to have an element of sincerity to them. I might be trivializing the issue into conflating s...

Oh butterfingers. So, I must accept Christ then. *Christ I accept you and yearn for your return*.

Welcome back! I agree; but, think that facts stand above things also.

Understood. I stand corrected then.

OK, this thread has already died. RIP.

Astute observation. I can't disagree with any of it, unfortunately. :)

Yes, this is the crux of the issue. Do we do it for some personal satisfaction or for an ulterior motive? Being sincere should only mean being drawn t...

I feel as though a separate thread is required to examine arguments made in other threads. Often, the third party analysis is required to de-emotional...

It is. I have no intention of proceedings done with ill intent or emotionally driven posting (I mean, that's the whole purpose of this thread, for hea...

Now, are you distorting evidence? I simply stated an opinion, and you have turned it around to facthood (in that thread) given your immense wisdom on ...

You place an undue burden on the proceedings of this courtroom. Although I can not discern my own bias, I request a veil of ignorance to be endowed on...

Fine. I redact my accusation, of @"unenlightened" being found guilty and limit my accusation to committing sophistry. I ask other members to consider ...

No, I am only marshalling evidence to be examined by other members. Judgement shall be reserved for very few charges if there need be such a thing eve...

I shall now proceed to the examination of your recent post history. In it, I refer attendees to these posts you have made: https://thephilosophyforum....

I call upon witnesses to testify to my claim that @"Unenlightened" has been found guilty of sophistry. Cross-examination of witnesses shall reveal whe...

Yes; but, it's more than that only. It's also an adherence to the commands of good intention. Whatever that may be.

Can attitudes like sincerity be shaped and moulded or are they static?

So, then. How does one become more sincere? Is that possible?

Fascinating post Jakus. Thanks.

Members, unite!

Sincerety is King then!

We stopped at proposition 2.5-3.0 Anyone welcome to continue with us where we left off.

Bump.

True; but, trust is the heart of the issue no?

But, it is conceivable to a solipsist that never doubts that could exist in principle. One has to always acknowledge that.

It simply means that reality is shared and we can agree that the cat is on the mat if we're willing to suspend disbelief in an external world or solip...

I guess you can phrase it as trust. If you can't have any trust in my being sincere about some Rogerian agreement, then the issue is a non-starter. He...

Is this not question-begging or is it?

Then, we've arrived at a systematically inchoate question if we can't even be answering it without question begging.

Any contrary proposition you could have to my propositional attitudes.

You might want to revive my old thread to continue this discussion: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/3739/monism-pluralism-and-instrumentalis...

I would not assert otherwise. Therefore a Rogerian agreement should be achieved if we're both sincere.

Then how did some many Marxist philosophers or logical positivists got it wrong? It seems we're stuck between Plato and Aristotle as of late.
