What drug habit? It's just pictures of Harold.

Well, I can tell you that according to the Tractatus, we are direct realists. Where 'realists' is just our ability to picture logical relations betwee...

Yeah, it's unclear where Wittgenstein stands on our perception of reality. Is it indirect or direct or rather what I believe Wittgenstein is trying to...

See my previous edited post. The solipsism is still present in the Investigations despite people thinking the PLA repudiates that.

That's quite interesting as Wittgenstein professed a very strong version of solipsism in the Tractatus. Namely, a sort of linguistic solipsism. EDIT: ...

This is his sentiment towards the descriptivist theory of meaning. Edit: Wittgenstein is quite Kantian in this regard. At least in the Tractatus.

This isn't mysticism, it's just stating ordinary language philosophy and the redundant theory of meaning and truth in another way. However, the questi...

Today seems to be quite dead at the TPF: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDxYkYeVIAEwWt1.jpg

No, to "mirror" already assumes indirect realism.

How y'all doing today? Just reading some TPF and listening to music, which exercising. https://i.imgur.com/omzykOF.jpg

I'm still here. https://i.imgur.com/tyNwowg.jpg

Ok, here's what the doctor ordered: http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/839/197/f99.jpg

These are my typical days on TPF: http://a4.pokerstrategy-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/v1/user/cqfyxtn0tdj1s/forum/ujrrhx2kjurx0oxtygl5.png I like ...

https://i.imgur.com/LbDUJDk.jpg What do you think about me? I've aged a little.

Here's the problem. Wittgenstein goes on to assert the validity of pictures depicting reality, without specifying what criteria are being met to accur...

From your post "Wittgenstein: The Tractatus Post #5". There is a metaphysical assumption lumped into that paragraph that plagues the Tractatus and for...

If you look hard enough.

Nah, those lads were on PCP. I'm not into PCP.

So, I tried a 1/2 tab of LSD yesterday, about 50 micrograms, was fun. No visuals, just pure contentment and joy. Once I find a safe space, I'll go hig...

I found this company, FreedomPop, that has no charges for some basic service. I already have a government landline cell phone paid every month, but th...

Can someone recommend me a good budget phone and service?

No. I don't think so. I could probably be bisexual if I wanted. Depends on the want though.

I might have turned gay over the time?

What if I'm gay. Why would you assume I'm heterosexual? How conservative of you!

My fingers are convulsing with joy.

Don't be hating on the Germans, they're not infallible and too got duped into a situation without recourse.

Alles klar!

Have you ever fell in love with Wittgenstein?

Thomas Sowell - Basic Economics Guy gets it right every time. Just too bad people aren't as rational as conservatives think.

Like, oh mah gawd! Have you ever fell in love with Wittgenstein?

Noesis, a land only granted to those with superior intelligence. No luck here, man. Try here.

In my understanding, all of 'logic' is absolute, or again as Wittgenstein said, logic takes care of itself. There is where modal logic deviates from t...

My idea of posting the OP was that valency exists where there are conditions for some state of affairs (function) to exist. Most of 'logic', as Wittge...

Using your analogy. Doesn't the content of the games have an influence over the rules of the games, as in modal logic?

What's your diagnosis of Trumpo? Interested in your input on the matter. Thanks. EDIT: Just hit triple 7's, must mean I am closer to Hanover than ever...

Anaesthesia of the mind.

Please do a thread on the Tractatus while referring to the answers already provided in the old thread. That would be heavenly.

It would seem to me that to have free markets, capitalism is a sine qua non. However, the question is that how would one alter capitalism to have a so...

But, communism isn't a solution. I was expecting more well rounded answers. Not, slogans! :_)

Be sure to use a VPN on non-HTTPS websites. Never know who's snooping on ya. Personally, on my private home internet, I don't even if some ISP is sell...

That's cause they're out to fuck you over. Game theory 101. Nice guys finish last.

Cable, if you can. You bundle and save on their yearly promotions. If I owned the house, I'd just keep on juggling around with their offers and callin...

Yeah but who enforces the rules?

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof things must be shown in action.

I see this as a perversion of philosophy and Wittgenstein. As if rules were needed prior to the use of reason and ethics.

Booms and busts in economics are depicted by a bull locked in an eternal battle with a bear.

The future retroactively influences the past as well as the present and the future, same with the past and present.

I prefer 4D relativism.
