In a competitive environment, then I suppose there's less gentlemanly behavior. Maybe if your looking for good faith, it's over at the United Kingdom,...

But, what about working for a corporation in the US. There doesn't seem to be much bona fide going on there or maybe I'm wrong about this?
May 29, 2024 at 13:43
Yet, what about all this "hustle culture" stuff going on? I intended for this to be an individual post; but, sure I'm interested in your take...
May 29, 2024 at 13:39
I take that as a quip at the US. Having said that, I think you are right that some Americans are more fearful and paranoid than other nations. Yeah, j...

Are you still drinking in the belly of the day? Because there is beauty in drinking coffee in the belly of the day.

Yes, every time I think about pigs, I feel more happy. It's important that they aren't eaten. I wouldn't convert to Judaism to do so; but, they have t...

We had some members who stood out, or "up." Honestly, the mod's have quite a job up there. Do you know that there's a Non-Disclosure Agreement after y...

Personally, I think that guy killed himself or found a job. Yeah, I still think about him to this day. He was quite a chap, don't you say?

Is this a story about, @"S"?

Don't covet your neighbor.

Happy Memorial Day to everyone and anyone who served. At least I tried... :roll:

By the way, I think that if what you're alluding to @"Tom Storm", about these sociopaths, and especially psychopaths, then they have some kind of hype...
May 27, 2024 at 21:06
It doesn't in most cases; but, if one were to conjecture, then maybe it is true for the highly stratified individuals in society, especially philosoph...

I'm not sure. Again, just psychologizing here and there, I can say that he disclosed on a SNL episode that he suffers from Asperger's, and from what I...

Also, if you pay attention to what he says on YouTube, with Joe Rogan, and others, there seems to be something about what he's doing that tyrannizes o...

Well, again, I'm just an armchair psychologist, psychologizing his existential desire to move the world towards electric vehicles, then build tunnels ...

Is making a point, a desire to feel smart or important? Just psychologizing here.
May 26, 2024 at 22:21
From what I read, there's quite a lot of dialogue, and intellectualization. I heard that there are some references to 9/11 in New York. Also, the titl...

In other news, the low ratings for Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis won't deter me from watching it. Here's a trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Everyone, please take this moment to appreciate a picture of a pig: https://spca.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/black-pig-outdoors.png
May 26, 2024 at 21:05
Glad to see you.
May 26, 2024 at 20:44
Yeah, I don't think I'm making much sense. So, I'm dropping this thread. Sorry for wasting your time, et al.
May 25, 2024 at 19:39
In the OP, I already stated what needed to be said about my abilities in the domain of logic. Seemingly you missed that part as you keep on demanding ...
May 25, 2024 at 02:37
Sure, I can try. Given three terms, R, G, B denoting "red, green, blue." I want to create an isomorphism in the domain of linear algebra with those te...
May 24, 2024 at 22:13
Also, given some deliberation, in response to what TonesInDeepFreeze said, I'm not entirely sure if what I am attempting on doing (creating an isomorp...

Hey, thanks for responding to my post. What I had in mind in Gödel numbering, was whether by doing so in terms of a isomorphism, such as linear algebr...

My previous comment doesn't detract from the obscurity of Wittgenstein's writing style; but, only means that he wasn't a philosopher; but, rather a lo...
May 20, 2024 at 02:56
It's important to point out that Wittgenstein considered himself chiefly as a logician. If his arguments aren't deep and insightful about the nature o...
May 20, 2024 at 02:55
Yes; but, people have psychologies.
May 20, 2024 at 02:14
But, philosophy isn't mathematics, in that it isn't self-evident. How do you counter that?
May 20, 2024 at 01:42
Can you specify what you mean by "their philosophy?" Is this a reference to their narrative or system of thought or something else?
May 20, 2024 at 01:41
So, goes it. Heidegger just lost the game if you're right. Then again, had the victor had their ways as spoke Thrasymachus, then he would have been id...
May 20, 2024 at 01:13
I think you have a point. Hence my previous post about (if one gives a shit) reading the Blue and Brown books. But, seemingly the appeal of Witt is so...
May 20, 2024 at 00:40
Well, based on what you quoted, and given that Wittgenstein was tired of calling the same thing by different words and definitions, you can see how he...
May 20, 2024 at 00:21
I won't quote the text anymore; but, there's some clarification about what intent Witt had with the Tractatus, and I think it is correct in saying tha...

Sure, I'll just provide what Rorty says about Conant. https://i.imgur.com/g2DXj6b.png pg. 174 And, with that, @"Wayfarer" might look at this different...

If you read into it, there's really no norm to it. Again, I treat this as methodological nominalism, which Rorty was getting at in his The Linguistic ...
