And we're at ground zero.

The future that I can picture in as a solipsistic mind is self-defeating and negative.The solipsism constantly must always wonder that she can think w...

This reminds me of the arguments you see online about synthetic a priori truths exist or not.

Seemingly yes. Yet, the parable exists insofar as to experienced of not, and individual particular fact can obtain or not in the world.

And we're back at ground zero, with the question about how do facts obtain or not....

Yes, I am. I don't know what that future will look like and that causes me great distress. Am I getting you with this piece of information? Thanks for...

I'm trying to elucidate the part with the paradoxical obtaining of a state of affairs is mystical in some sense?

That we obtain facts from things it presupposes that there is something more to the world we see.

It's a paradox, no?

If that's how you see things, then go for it.

Obtains by what?

What does this mean? Is the status of facthood obtained by what?

Yes, what is it?

They're status of facthood.

?

Yes, that's true. I wonder how can it be addressed? Any thoughts?

Don't negate a positive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x7SDnNhzSo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib1bpWgMwFc

My topic on the Principle of Bipolarity might elucidate where stipulative definitions can attain meaning or even facthood.

Stipulative definitions are derived from what then>? Is it somewhat metaphysical to talk about where stipulative definitions derive their meaning?

So, what can be gathered from this exchange is that stipulative definitions need to be expressed in language to survive. The forms of life as Wittgens...

Don't leave, just adapt. :)

I'm an atomic playboy, what can I say? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTDCvtz51qA

I think, the proper response is, WTF? But, I got something for ya to lighten the darkness with brilliant light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgJrOK...

So, it's not question begging; but, what then? It seems like to stipulate a definition, one has to know the entirety of the how the ordinary dictionar...

I just got in the mail his Volume I of The World as Will and Representation. I also got his Essays and Aphorisms. I think I will soon study him in det...

So, then the question becomes, what are stipulative definitions at all? It rings of question begging.

But, they attain their meaning by describing the world another way than what is usually attributed by virtue of their stipulative definitions. Is this...

There's also what Hacker calls: "transcendental solipsism" as defined in the Tractatus.

If you're looking for OMG, WTF, how awesome is this, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDFBTdToRmw

Keynesianism is what it is.

For example. Wittgenstein has a very specific stipulative definition on many things (die Welt, reality, sachlage, sachverhalten, etc.). The fact that ...

I see. So, what does it have to say about excessive credit and debt levels in the US, and how those can be solved? Can too much credit ever be a probl...

This is dangerous to implement. It creates conditions for hyperinflation and such.

Shameless bump.

Indeed. Thanks for posting!

I agree. I think solipsism is a logical conclusion of self-reflection. It intrigues me that solipsism is seen with such contempt as if philosophy's jo...

Agreed, therefore, either it is rational to profess angst or irrational to profess angst. If it is the former, then it's philosophy's task to deal wit...

Check LPP Fusion. They are the only guys operating without LENR reactions that I hope can make a product possible. Dense plasma focus is what they are...

I hate it when a reply is a music video. Haha.

Yes. Creation for me is the birth of something with significance. Lasting significance is an ideal. To produce something of lasting significance I thi...

There is a weight of evidence supporting what Rossi has been doing. I don't know if you care to explore what evidence is available in regards to the t...

I'm sorry to hear. I hope you feel better. Let's talk about depression then. How is it affecting you? What can you say about it philosophically?

Thank you for asking. That means a lot. I don' know, you know. Just something of lasting significance to the or in the world. Is that possible?

You should look into it more. Seems you have a provincial view on the subject.

:cry: Nothing much. Same as usual. Just looking for stimulus to do anything. I need a lot of stimulation to get me going. How about you? You've been q...

Have you heard of LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions)? It's like cold fusion with a twist. I'm betting hard on LENR and think it will provide the ener...
