I remember her and liked her too, seemed to be doing the right things. Shame she still isn't in power, or at least remained in office for a longer per...
I've got to read a good book by some learned reporter or scholar on Australian politics, I used to know a decent amount, for somebody who's very far a...
Yeah, found out about the nickname in the Australia subreddit. I had heard that the original French submarines weren't nuclear powered, but I haven't ...
Macron went to the point here: https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/qk1ezu/macaron_telling_it_like_it_is/ Would it be fair to say that some peo...
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't even read your OP, just the title. Given what you say, you probably should see a professional. It doesn't look to me as if your ...
If the multiverse is infinite (in terms of quantity of universes) then I could see the case as to why anything would eventually happen, paradoxes asid...
Sure. I read the Spanish translation, which is just a small portion of what he wrote, so I cannot opine too strongly on his larger ethical views. As i...
:heart: :heart: :heart: His translation is coming out next year. There's one made by a an enthusiast in Mainlander's subreddit, which is pretty decent...
The physicist is not interested in the definition, they are interested in the phenomena. Most physicists I know don't spend time worrying about the de...
I actually disagree with you, no surprise. If these terms are so well defined, why the heck do people argue about them all the time? Do you see physic...
In a possible world we could be ants in the playground of a little kid. In another possible world there is a massive horse that rules the universe. Th...
Yes, the only substantive issue on this topic is the pace of change - which is quick, granted, given what we used to have, but still not quick enough....
Yeah. That's the problem. There's plenty of ways to laugh all the way to the bank - sometimes people fall for dupes, and well, somebody ends up winnin...
They have, to the extent that they're the dominant regional power. What they've done in HK is quite ugly. At the same time, the way the US and NATO ar...
We can talk about cats and not pandas, no problem. I don't want to have a truth claim to what knowledge is such that if a person disagrees with my def...
I don't see what is gained by insisting that knowledge must be thought of as so and so. The way I see it if that if we continue insisting on these cri...
We can say that now. Back then they could not. It was the best theory they had for the time and not an unreasonable one at that, to me anyway. What wo...
Yeah it's pretty ugly. It's often boils down to money and power, not much more. But it's far from unique to the US. The British, The Spanish, The Fren...
If that's how you take it, fine. Really?!? You're born in the middle of a tribe, you see this vast ocean of things in the sky. You have no access to t...
Well, you've now introduced the idea of "naivety" to JTB's. Some some beliefs are naïve, hence not really JTB. What beliefs are naïve as opposed to no...
There's a few ways to interpret the paper and much subsequent literature on it. But the title is literally Is Justified True Belief Knowledge? He give...

This is a week old but: Outside of mathematics, I don't know of a single word which has an easy definition. A dictionary will give you the most simple...
Yes it is. But I think we have to distinguish between the policy makers and those on the levers of power as opposed to the general population. It's th...
Pretty much. :up: Currently reading: My View of the World - Erin Schrödinger An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding - David Hume Almost done with: ...
Yeah. It's an important aspect of a massive change in political ideology that is still with us to this day. I haven't read the book yet, but know a li...
No. It has to do with an economic system dating back to the late 70's in which economic policies were forced down people's throat under the guise of f...
If I don't remember incorrectly, you read Quinn Slobodian's Globalists, which was an excellent dissection of Neoliberalism. It led me to other fantast...
I like my phenomenology simple, which is why I really like Tallis here. He doesn't call it "phenomenology", but that's what he seems to do. The proble...
I agree. Many people do not. You hear people speaking of "my truth" or "it's true to me" all the time. Yeah, such statements aren't suitable for logic...
I tend to agree. We seem to demand everything have a causal explanation. But what if something just don't have any? For example: That something can co...
Manchin is real piece of shit. Who gives a fuck if your laughing all the way to the bank if your daughter and/or grandkids are totally fucked. Because...
He did. But common sense is not easy to tease out. I think believing in God at one time during our evolutionary history made sense and was even ration...
Yes. I mean, part of the problem is that if you "what is God? And please, don't give me the All Wise, All Noble argument." What they usual say, in my ...
Well, to the extent that God is made up we can proceed down the following path: I'll not go over the "flying spaghetti monster" argument, but let's sa...
They take him to be saying that he denies consciousness. Dennett always says, he's not, and adds "Consciousness exists, obviously, but it's not what m...
