How does one attain this state of mind, oh wise one? :cool:

I'm telling you its early stage dementia. I doubt he consults his ideas against any advisers.
July 15, 2018 at 13:02
The structure of an atomic fact is something contingent: it is the fact that its constituent objects are actually combined in the way they are. The at...
July 15, 2018 at 05:31
And finally, 2.0211 If the world had no substance, then whether a proposition had sense would depend on whether another proposition was true. 2.0212 I...
July 15, 2018 at 05:19
Think about it in Kantain terms. There cannot be objects or facts or things without logical space.
July 15, 2018 at 05:11
2.025 It is form and content. The thinking here is something like this. There must be something common, something constant across all possible alterna...
July 15, 2018 at 05:10
By extension doesn't it apply to all formal systems? I'm sorry; but, asking for proof would be a monumental task.
July 15, 2018 at 05:01
2.021 Objects form the substance of the world. Therefore they cannot be compound. 2.024 Substance is what exists independently of what is the case. A ...

Substance.

Glad you're back. It's a crapshoot. Do you think we need a companion to help guide us? As I'm reading the Routledge one provided in the first page of ...
July 15, 2018 at 04:09
Sorry, @"Srap Tasmaner"; but, I'm at a loss here as what to say. I'm reading the companion provided by another member here, that seems to clarify all ...
July 15, 2018 at 03:59
Thanks, @"mcdoodle" sent his regards too. Hehe.
July 15, 2018 at 03:27
Yes, but, when one goes about trying to prove truths within any sufficiently complex formal system, then one will run into cases where such proofs are...
July 15, 2018 at 03:25
Yes, that was the question. I'm not sure how one goes about proving or surmising it. Hence, why I brought up Godel. Is this one of those, whereof one ...
July 15, 2018 at 03:23
Yes, it's a meaningless claim to make in totality due to Godel's Incompleteness Theorems. I think.
July 14, 2018 at 00:08
One thought that bugs me is that if Godel disproved the internal consistency of any finite logical system to be self proving, and thus requires extra-...
July 13, 2018 at 23:44
Yes, I take it as internally consistent here, and if that follows, then true and valid. Yes, there is, what's your point? According to the instrumenta...

It ain't the same America you grew up in or where you grew up. Take that as empirical evidence if you'd like.
July 13, 2018 at 22:55
Not entirely objective; but, rational enough to not fall into a highly exploitable trait that Republicans seem to posses of being frightened of big go...

Hmm, if a moderator could please re-include "Monism" into the poll, for some reason it got left out. Thanks.
July 13, 2018 at 21:57
I'm not silencing anyone here, Hanover, common. I'm just stating the fact that you keep on bringing that fact up as if it was some punchline itself se...
July 13, 2018 at 21:54
At this point you can only consider pointing out that fact as tantamount to trolling...

Uhh, hurr durr, the mayor of London is an Muslim that hates me, durr.
July 13, 2018 at 17:17
Ooo, gotta hold him to his word for once. Let's see how that pans out.
July 13, 2018 at 17:06
I wanna see Trumpo pull a fake news on this one. It also is good due to being right before his meeting with Putin.
July 13, 2018 at 16:51
Most likely, I think.
July 13, 2018 at 16:42
Yeah, but no allegations of Americans aware they were cooperating with Russian GRU military personnel...

We must go back to the island, Jack!

Put down the crack pipe.

You know, no matter how small a piece of shit may be in your soup, it's still a piece of shit in your soup.

Jebus, Trump really smeared one into Mays face today, didn't he?

:vomit:
July 13, 2018 at 13:24
Seems like one of those things you do in a sense of absolute hopelessness in regards to a situation. Just drink your way out of a problem.
July 13, 2018 at 13:22
The suburban life is really different here in Thousand Oaks where every other car is a Maserati or high end BMW or sone such. It's further up there if...
July 13, 2018 at 12:59
Perhaps, but I digress.
July 13, 2018 at 12:53
Laughs ensue.
July 13, 2018 at 12:51
Why not? Aren't you making an over-generalization here?

Totally unrelated but Juncker is drunk as f*ck during the NATO summit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKC_EeA4LUU

Would you say that people prefer moral relativism and with it nihilism than be responsible for anyone or anything? Why is that?
July 13, 2018 at 10:41
Interesting take on this question. But, essentially I think you are right. So, was Jesus in the right again to ask Paul to go back to Rome and face cr...

Stick to his values. Good one.
July 13, 2018 at 10:33
Good, I'm waiting for my liquid nicotine (vape juice) to arrive tomorrow morning so I can vape some more. The emo posts are fine too. :yum:

=[ :cry:
July 13, 2018 at 04:48
What do you mean by this? Running away from what exactly?
July 13, 2018 at 04:10
Well, then there's really no way to deny or affirm this. It seems like a metaphysical statement. Yes, possible.
July 12, 2018 at 08:35
