I posted this on a CNN news feed earlier this week and it hit the top comment for a while, so I'd thought I wanted as whether the vetting process shou...
Well, he does use: "existent atomic facts", so I'm not sure what he means by "existent/bestehenden" or "nonexistent/Nichtbestehen". So, again the issu...
So, this post might help a little more when thinking about the world and reality even deeper: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/190476...
I think you highlighted my point here. Since, psychology is about people and their inner workings, isnt the case of exploitation of psychology for wha...
The plot thickens. I'm going to refer to "gleichsam" analogically as "manner and form" here (jumping ahead a little): Yes, but it's one and the same t...
How do you reconcile the above notion with a solipsistic entity, which I have come to understand that we are to some degree? For example, you can asse...
Yes, and those atomic facts and their relations are what make up the actual world. Me picturing them as possible states of affairs is what constitutes...
So, I think the gist of the whole issue resides in the following propositions: 2.012 In logic nothing is accidental: if a thing can occur in an atomic...
Just out of courtesy. I'll get back with a more detailed post tomorrow or later today. Might take a while. But if you read the Max Black post I refere...
@"Srap Tasmaner", do you want me to post a question to the Quora community about this whole issue about obtaining or not in reality of Sachlagen vs Sa...
I'm just unhappy with how we go about educating people about psychology. It seems on face value to treat psychology as a science (to be exploited for ...
So, what does that make psychology? It seems to me that the differences are only made apparent if psychology is used as some means to and end (the pro...
Can you provide a causal link between the two? If what you're saying is just that psychology is being exploited to the demands of the economy, then I ...
Yeah, we have an over-representation of hippies on this forum. : - )) I guess I'm berating the fact that hippies conformed after all, I mean how could...
Fortunately enough I lived abroad for quite some time to have a template against which I can compare these insidious gaslighting or propagandist mind ...
Yes, I encountered his name in a documentary suggested hereabouts called The Century of the Self by Adam Curtis. It was eye opening and I figure can s...
I'm under the impression that the world is the totality of facts and reality is the totality of those facts and states of affairs. I'm gonna leave thi...
I get what you're saying; but, I suppose if we want to talk about these propositions, then some understanding of logical atomism is necessary. And, gi...
Yeah, I feel that it inevitably leads us to address Logical Atomism and how Wittgenstein's views differed from Russell. You can find more info here: h...
I think this needs to be expanded a little more, although I agree with it. Yeah, so again, how does it obtain in reality, not the world. Also, this mi...
I was thinking more along the lines of it being math and physics manifest in reality through technology, as off as that sounds, which is just assertin...
My gauge of progress is what has been learned over and above what was initially known about some proposition or the general gist of an overarching the...
I think it would be a good idea that upon agreeing on completion of each segment that we pause and summarize what has been covered to address any ling...
Don't be and feel free to chime in whenever you want. I don't think there's any detriment if you bring up questions we already tried to cover. In fact...
I don't understand. Are you unhappy with how things are being handled thus far? If so let me know what would you like for me to change in the manner w...
I actually sent an e-mail to Professor Jeff Speaks about this issue. I'll post what he has to say about it if he replies. I also sent an e-mail to Pro...
As we go along you might find these useful: Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Jeff Speaks Wittgenstein on logical form and the nature o...
So, I was playing League, and someone said after a bad match, upon being told "gg" (good game) at the end; "Don't sh*t on me and tell me it's raining....
Well, I give all my money to my mother, so there's an element of selflessness in the whole picture. We live in a neighborhood where the average househ...
Cuz, I've positioned myself and the welfare of my mother on being able to receive benefits, I get SSI and my mom gets benefits for taking care of me f...
