Thanks for proving my point. All those things you mentioned are still words. And the fact you think copper, Michael, and red contain no letters is ver...

No, I don't, you just continue to set up a false separation of them in your misunderstanding of words. Michael is a word, and it's cute you think it i...

It's absurd to think it's not. You tried to do it right here, and that was wrong. Michael is still a word:

Sorry, now you're trying to flip it around. You were trying to say Michael isnt' a word because you're Michael. And it's still a word. And it is absur...

Of course you did. You wrote that and those are all words, including the Michaels.

You just said you're a word when you used the word Michael to write "I am Michael." Try to avoid contradicting yourself.

No it doesn't because the distinction between use and mention you apply to these words is a false one you fail to support. So, it's not astonishing I ...

No, I don't. And it's astonishing you think Red is not a word and "red" isn't a color. That makes no sense at all.

Sorry, none of that disputes what I said about the semantics involved. Your definition of correspondence could well apply to "correspondence." So, you...

This doesn't counter or address what I said in any way. I do appreciate the attempt, though.

Oh boy....the "whites were slaves, too" narrative so popular among White supremacists.

There are certainly anecdotal occurrences like this, but it doesn't change what I wrote. Japanese Americans aren't mostly attacking Whites for the int...

This is the case. And the fact there is racial resentment--mostly deserved, some undeserved--doesnt' change that fact.

Sorry, I did no "wiggling and jiggling" and the Blacks were never the White's enemy; we just made them our victims. As to the Black White supremacist,...

Ridiculous. White people are not anti-White by supporting racial equality; they are pro-equality and anti-racism.

It is not a fact that racism has been purged from the political sphere, and you haven't shown it has. The fact unarmed Black adults and children are s...

Racism isn't a thing of the past. Look at all the unarmed Black men and children shot and killed by White policepeople. Also, there is still inordinat...

Actually, you didn't reply to my question, and your statement there and here are both irrelevant to my statement I made. And my questions were very re...

No, philosophy never has been, isn't, and never will be a science, although analytic philosophers and analytic philosophy department heads have worked...

Right, he followed all the "scientific protocols" to prove past lives. There are no scientific protocols for proving past lives because there is no sc...

If reincarnation doesn't require souls, the person arguing for its existence needs to assert what it does require. And reincarnation is very inconsist...

I'm sorry, a "blog post" in Scientific American isnt' scientific documentation of anything. Try again. Again, a few books by a guy named Stevenson isn...

When you show me actual scientific documentation of past lives...:) And thanks for showing you couldn't address what I wrote here:

They may be different topics but they are equally ridiculous, unprovable claims. And different claims of talking to God or Satan can be unscientifical...

Nope, I don't have to know the research to know it's not true. That's clear. You don't know anything about the research on people claiming to be God o...

I class it with "talking to God and talking to Satan" because it is like talking to God or Satan. It is something no physical evidence bears out and t...

If you have to ask what "evidence" consists of, you need to go back and look up the word. And if you think people saying they have had past lives is e...

No, my statement is perfectly clear, you haven't shown how it isn't, and I don't want you to do anything. You can address it or not, but I won't addre...

That's your second time you failed to directly address my statement, itself. This is clearly a difficulty for you. Here is the exchange itself. Maybe ...

Could you actually address my actual claim in my actual post instead of strawmanning me? I've re-tweeted if for you below:

I know what scare quotes do. That doesn't mean that "correspondence" and correspondence are any different in semantics in their expressions themselves...

What rights are you talking about? If it's in a state with legal euthanasia, no legal rights are involved. There is no clear consensus on fundamental ...

Then you need to realize no theory of evolution proves or even substantially supports the theory of solutions being passed down genetically.

The only one arguing with idiots in this exchange has been me, and you've proven that. Nothing in the theory of evolution by natural selection and the...

Scare quotes don't change the fact you're still using the same word. Sorry.

No, it does not mean that at all, since you've still used the word "correspondence.' And your example fails too since "dogs tail" and "leg" are differ...

Do you understand there is no substantial evidence a soul exists, so you have to establish or at least substantially establish that it does before acc...

I completely agree with that advice...:)

No, I have completely appropriate and rational belief in science. You have too much unfounded faith in the fantastical world you see beyond it. And Ge...

It's not open to fantastical or erroneous speculation. It is a fact that our identities are made up of more than just our genes; our life experience a...

" Their genes live in you. Their "identities," which are made up of far more than genetic material, do not.

You said the solutions were passed down genetically. I said they weren't. You still have failed to show they are. And camouflage is neither a solution...

No, solutions aren't passed down genetically. Not only are actual final solutions immensely rare, they are not passed down through our genes. No, we a...

Yes there are reading comprehension issues, and they're all yours. Be well, Creative, I well presented my argument; you need to learn how to actually ...

How about this, Creative, the term "We" clearly denotes more than the definition in this sentence, it points to a conceptualized people, the "American...

Creative, and you haven't shown I haven't.

As to your first sentence: OK As to your second paragraph, of course correspondence is a concept; there is no material existence of "correspondence" w...

And as I showed, human thought involves more than simple and complex correlations.

I gave you an example with my sentence I gave you earlier. You didn't deconstruct it and you won't be able to do so now.

My quote above argues against your original statement and it shows exactly why your model is insufficient for human thought and human thought is more ...
