That's an interesting question. Is meaning important to continue living a wholesome life, I think, yes.

This sounds very much like a sentimental assertion, or a coin flipping problem. Isn't the issue then to enhance life rather than obey norms about how ...

I'm not too sure if the Malthusian explosion is really a phenomenon that humanity would experience if overcrowding occurs, whatever that means.

Out of psychological curiosity, do you think this is an unconscious process in the field of medicine, that people want to live longer, yet docilly acc...

Well, I suppose the question is going to be whether just due to recent events T-Humanism is having a fad or whether at any other point in history was ...

I was just trying to specify it as a term, and this almost definitionally means they are neo-Epicureans, no? Well, as these sample populations didn't ...

Does anyone remember the liberalism of Bill Clinton? Those were good times.

What I'm asking is if there's a way to determine partial computable functions from total computable functions for the Busy Beaver issue not to arise?

Oh my fucking God, this is GOLD.

The Chinese Room is some kind of Turing oracle, no, @"Banno"?
June 07, 2021 at 21:33
Is this due to the bounded values between partial computable functions and total computable functions is itself indeterminate to determine thus comple...

This sounds closer to redundancy theories in my mind. Although, there is significant overlap between coherentism and redundancy theories. Yes?
June 07, 2021 at 17:22
Yeah, I can see how this is true, and think it makes sense.

That the feature of ethics in terms of Wittgenstein, happens in regards to what those social norms consist of. I think, that shouldn't be unclear.

@"TonesInDeepFreeze" I got an answer to this question in regards to partial computability and total computability. See: https://math.stackexchange.com...
June 05, 2021 at 21:47
It's hard to believe that the issue really amount to categorizing mathematics, due to Godel.
June 05, 2021 at 18:51
All criticisms aside, I still think there's merit to mentioning that ethics consists, at least extensionally by my own reasoning from Wittgenstein, to...
June 05, 2021 at 18:10
Wittgenstein might have not said this, and I mistakenly said that he did; but, isn't it a feature of language that this does actually happen normally?
June 05, 2021 at 18:02
Nothing. I was interested in a discussion.
June 05, 2021 at 03:32
I kind of advocate, the notion that a social reality where social dynamics evolve in this manner that precisely label individuals, using whatever meth...
June 05, 2021 at 02:25
But, this is how social dynamics evolves through time, no? So, I concede that perhaps dropping Wittgenstein might be necessary.
June 05, 2021 at 02:23
I think you know all about the life of Wittgenstein in treating his life as a 'duty' or even in personal letters to Russell. And, then finally becomin...
