I don't care to confine my posting based on imperatives uttered by you.
February 27, 2022 at 23:45
I addressed it amply. So, I take it that you can't adduce premises added to P1 and P2 that entail C.
February 27, 2022 at 23:42
Well, I thought I was done with P1. What does "informed" mean? A baby has the sensory data of a shiny object. I don't take it that the baby uses reaso...

You claimed that I posted gish gallop. I detailed exactly how you are incorrect about that. Instead, you shifted to claiming that you don't post gish ...
February 27, 2022 at 23:37
I read it and studied it. It's bunk.
February 27, 2022 at 23:25
Even more fundamentally, but along the same lines: The Objectivist argument is: 1. Reason is the essential attribute that provides for a human's survi...
February 27, 2022 at 23:22
You skipped again my response. If you are going to keep doing that, then there is no hope that you'll ever get around to addressing my point. You have...
February 27, 2022 at 23:18
First, you elide my point. Whether P1 or P2 are true, they do not entail C. You keep skipping my reply to that: So if any mental state is reason, then...
February 27, 2022 at 23:07
I don't take myself to be obligated to reply to only one of your many claims at a time. You can reply or not to whatever you like. If you would like a...
February 27, 2022 at 22:56
What are you talking about? You listed P1, P2, and C: I pointed out that it is a conditional statement, not an argument. But then I allowed that you p...
February 27, 2022 at 22:48
As said another way: You need to answer that better than you barely do . / So you should not have suggested that it is. (1) Reason depends on the biol...
February 27, 2022 at 21:55
Humans do have physical attributes including feet, legs, endurance running, five senses, teeth, fingernails, fingers, opposable thumbs, et. al. Indeed...
February 27, 2022 at 19:30
That's not a definition of 'selfish'. It's a conditional statement of the form: If P1 and P2, then C. I take it though that you mean it as an argument...

Obviously, just saying "ZFC" is not a meaningful answer to the questions I asked. https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/659140
February 26, 2022 at 15:57
Obviously, just saying "demographics" is not a basis for claiming:
February 26, 2022 at 15:55
What is your basis for that claim?
February 25, 2022 at 06:00
Again, there is no object that is infinity (other than such things as points of infinity on extended numbrer lines). There are sets that have the prop...
February 25, 2022 at 05:59
I'm not familiar with that. Where can I read about it? I've never seen such a "first axiom of mathematics" as you describe it. Is it something you've ...
February 25, 2022 at 05:55
Mathematical logic and modal logic are related and interact sometimes. But Godel's argument about God is not mathematical in the sense that the modal ...
February 21, 2022 at 23:24
Godel uses modal logic and certain modal assumptions. His argument is not "mathematical computation"
February 21, 2022 at 01:52
Condensed: 1. sime's claim of what Brouwer meant is the OPPOSITE of the basic notion of potential infinity, and sime has shown no source that supports...
February 19, 2022 at 21:37
Look in virtually any introductory textbook or set of lecture notes on computability. And we don't need a notion of 'potential infinity' to explain th...
February 19, 2022 at 21:23
So I guess you mean type theory couched in category theory. I don't know enough about that to evaluate your claims about it, but there are some genera...
February 19, 2022 at 19:14
Simply: Where do you find "eventually finitely bounded" in Brower, or even any secondary source, on potential infinity? Please cite a specific passage...
February 18, 2022 at 22:40
It would be nice if you addressed my points directly aside from (or at least in addition to) whatever other meandering about various subjects you have...
February 18, 2022 at 22:21
I've never seen that in type theory or elsewhere. it seems to make no sense. Please say where you have ever seen that as type theory? * There's no men...
February 18, 2022 at 21:30
That article egregiously misstates Godel. "Godel was famous for proving mathematically that all mathematical systems are incomplete" No, Godel proved ...
February 18, 2022 at 21:13
We await Metaphysician Undercover's rigorously presented new mathematics that realizes what he considers "the correct way to divide space and time acc...
February 15, 2022 at 14:44
Again, what is the definition of 'exact'? Pi is an irrational number. That doesn't make it not exact.
February 15, 2022 at 13:39
With pi you have all the information you need to write its digits for as long as you want to write them. What is the definition of "fully known"? Pi i...
February 15, 2022 at 04:19
I'll let him know you're available. And cheap - just two bits a digit and two digits max.
February 15, 2022 at 03:01
The poster has deleted any form of the puzzle from his original post
February 15, 2022 at 01:13
There are no passages in the article that support your misrepresentations. If you think there are passages that support you, then you can cite them sp...

He said there are no tricks. I don't know whether ambiguity should be taken as a trick.
February 14, 2022 at 21:04
The puzzle doesn't stipulate that "how many" must be answered with a numeral.
February 14, 2022 at 21:03
If someone answered it is "1+1" (everything is itself) or "4-2" or "sqrt(4)" then those would all be correct answers. But not correct if the question ...

How is it not misleading to talk at all about URLs now when URLs have nothing to do with it? If URLs were relevant and not merely incidental, then you...
February 14, 2022 at 20:57
That's exactly what you said.
February 14, 2022 at 20:53
For potential infinity. Though, in ZFC, we can describe sequences of finite sets. Problematic for some people, not for others. And I am pretty sure th...
February 14, 2022 at 20:49
Set theory is extensional. A set is determined solely by what are its members (what its extension is). But you are using 'extensional' in the sense of...
February 14, 2022 at 20:37
Like mathematics generally.
February 14, 2022 at 20:30
Well that settles it then. Next time Elon needs some calculations to land a craft, he should just call you for your results rounded to two decimal poi...
February 14, 2022 at 20:27
So you contend that previous answers, though correct, do not suffice because they have variations, while the desired answer has no variations, and tha...
February 14, 2022 at 20:24
He would be tarred and feathered if he left that out though it's relevant. He wouldn't have.
February 14, 2022 at 20:19
It can't have anything to do with URLs, because the original post, before it was edited, described the puzzle without mentioning URLs and supposedly s...
February 14, 2022 at 20:12
It's a good thing that whoever determined the solution to this puzzle is not among the referees of the P v NP contest. Someone would give a correct so...

The third character is 'o' not 'u'.
