What do they feel like?

What is that objective moral standard if not an idealized perception of it? It's almost some noumena that we can only observe.

Why "like" being used here? Like denotes that nothing in the real world is representative of something idealized, like Superman?

Yes, I neglected to mention that facts themselves cannot be subjected to the Principle of Bivalence.

The meaning in English translates to: "To each his own". What can that possibly mean? Hasn't it been perverted by such types as Marx?

I'm not sure here. Yes, morality is much more complex than creating simple statements that a utilitarian calculus of morality could accept. Well, I ho...

However, Superman is an actuality here. Yes, it excludes only analytic propositions. So, in your example, Superman is not analytic, yet, we talk about...

Wow, so you dismiss the entire field of LENR, based on a prejudice towards Rossi? Cool.

Well, I firmly believe that we are infinitely more complex than saying "people only desire pleasure" or "people seek the aversion of pain, and maximiz...

What do you mean by "actually" here? So, what happens to the Principle of Bipolarity? It would not be true that you were to drop a stone while standin...

Ok, I'm going to try and flex my physic muscle. Don't laugh as a spaz when trying to do so. This is why it's called "Low Energy"-Nuclear Reactions. I ...

Not true, In the dream, you were flying like superman... Really do? True propositions really do represent the actual state of affairs? Is that more su...

Quality post, btw. I mean by that to say that a person is possessed with a certain conception of morality and they then being or spewing falsely deriv...

Again, you use 'real' here again. Why is that? Facts represent things in the world. What's this "representation" thing doing here in language?

Yes; but, a straw man can only be formed based on false assumptions or premises. Yes, I hope so too; but, that's not the impression I get when I see r...

He even posted on these forums; but, I can't find his nick? I guess he was removed from the forum for some reason.

I guess you can make a straw man and say that the internet is composed of such individuals. I certainly would fall into that category you are describi...

Really? You can visit that forum, specifically "Atom Ecology" along with "MacGyver (aka JohnyFive) LENR experiment", and see that that forum consists ...

I post there under the guise known as "Promethian". I welcome any members from here, there.

I agree that Rossi is not the ideal candidate to provide for the legitimacy of the LENR field. But, phrasing him as the sole failure if the entire fie...

There's a forum dedicated to LENR where different individuals report success in making a configuration of hydrogen-nickel mixtures into devices that e...

So, facts are independent of the Principle of Bipolarity? I don't know.

Hence, what do facts represent?

LENR doesn't necessarily product radiation in some circumstances. Gamma radiation has been reported by some people in different configurations of thei...

That's a straw man and you know it... Not true. I've been following the advent of LENR for 4 years now, and more and more people are reporting excess ...

So, should it be a moderator's role to ask anyone starting a new topic to state their definitions clearly to avoid ambiguity and vagueness resulting i...

So facts are mind-independent? I thought they were mind-dependent... The present Kind of France is bald, is a fact that doesn't correspond to reality....

Interesting question. The mind-body dualism comes apart when dealing with depression. So, mind-body are same.

What's a "real state of affairs'?

Look no further than here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/4290/principle-of-bipolarity

A fact represents a state of affairs, no?

So, facts are immune to the Principle of Bipolarity?

I agree and think that much confusion or ambiguity would be avoided if people stated their premises and conclusions more clearly by introducing a stip...

Yes, that environment interests me. What can you say about it? People often say that non-verbal communication is at least 60-80% of real communication...

Well, philosophy in education is classified as a pure humanistic art. What can I say more?

What about a false proposition? Is that possible for a fact to represent a false proposition?

The Principle of Bipolarity would contradict this conclusion.

Yes, I suppose you can phrase it so.

Yet, your attempts to psychoanalyze me in this thread belies your intent to psychoanalyze. Anyway, I don't care if you do try and psychoanalyze me or ...

:blush:

Rossi has a customer for 40MW of his product. Let's wait and see if he can deliver on his promise.

Same, just not time yet. So, where did we leave off?

Sorry, I'm not educated enough to give you a definitive answer.

I mean to imply that philosophy which is deeply humanistic, had some conception of man or woman. Nietzsche thought so and some people followed in his ...

The antecedent belies your claim. Since this is a philosophy forum which can consist with kids who score on the above range of intelligence, I mean ge...

That's the mystical part! No?

Is that the end result of the attitude that a philosopher ought to be is cynicism? If that's not true then, what ideal for a man or woman ought to be?

Same here. It's a little early, so might have to wait until I can rest. It's 8:17 here in Cali.
