The more I try to metaphilsophically analyze myself, the greater the impression of mine is that I have fallen into a general sense of apathy towards l...

I think I see what your getting at information-wise, yet to parametrize for units you would need some operation other than in silicone to estimate a v...

Sorry I can only reference Shor's algorithm as an example of what I am saying, and it ain't that much.
October 15, 2021 at 04:05
It sort of strikes me as odd that the only physical units to determine complexity in mathematical computations would be quantum computers with qubits....

That was a treat watching. Thanks.

Sorry, but, he made 9 phone calls to the DOJ about turning over the election and handing him the victory. He may or may not have dementia; but, it str...

Trump would like to spin anything in what he does and somehow come out superior. But, the dementia seems to show when he tried to spin the 2020 electi...

You can't spin elections, can you?

As far as I know, Euclid made mathematics a shared game with his Elements. Much of which was expressed as propositions.

Another round of international silence. Thank God he's not a neo-con.

Philosophy as therapy and all that. It's all Wittgenstein.

I think it's really anti-Frege at this point with Santa Claus and psychologism, no? As in more detail, that relations can be represented symbolically ...

Of course, the sky is very high. But, it's interesting that you invoke ordinary language in the discussion. I seem to think that in ordinary language,...

It's not enough to state that they are part of a language game, in my opinion. I believe that they should be stated for what they are in terms of wher...

I'm not sure it's that complicated. It's elucidating that you say that certain features or pictorial objects can stand for or represent a name, such a...

Just let the fucking pigs live instead of a mass culling. EDIT: I've never seen such a strange profit motive scenario.

So, it's content that makes up stuff, yes? But, then we have facts and some kind of coherentism in how they can find their use in language, yes? In my...

We just collected all the cabbage from the field. Tasty cabbage.

Sorry, it's just a happy pig. :blush:

It's just a pig, ok?
September 21, 2021 at 00:43
Why is that true? It seems almost like a sine qua non, no?
September 20, 2021 at 23:54
Much how like teachers arise nowadays. It is so mind boggling how smart Plato was.

This raises an interesting question as to whether a philosopher or philosophers have any duty towards their fellow citizens. What do you think?
September 20, 2021 at 22:01
Yes... It is an issue to think that philosophy can hold any safety in challenging questions and truths. People do value safety in higher regard. Also,...
September 20, 2021 at 21:58
I see. I have experienced something similar to this idea of the truth that one holds can be subject to scrutiny and be challenged. It's tiresome offer...
