Re: [psychological-KFC] VA's paint tin Theory of Mind

Another way in which VA's limited ability to imagine the inner lives of other people strikes is tendency to explain minor things with extravagant theories about the contents of your head. Consider the things he is willing to explain by reference to an "existential crisis"... These are all ...

Re: Theory of Mind?

If I may offer a note. You should include a bit where the only possioble reason for somebody to not share this view about whther to make a list of all the reasons McDonald's is inferior to Burger King [conditioned by the BK-FSCK] is that their mind is paralyzed by a deep ancestral fear of spiders.

Re: [psychological-KFC] VA's paint tin Theory of Mind

See also VA's complete opbsession with lists. He thinks this suggestion... I only define what is evil and its related evil acts. Thus I will have to come up with a complete list of what is defined as evil with its varying degree of evil_ness. Is completely sane. He has no idea that none of you is ma...

Perhaps that is a recipe for a frustrating childhood experience. However, it is very good preparation for internet philosophy so everything might even out.

[psychological-KFC] VA's paint tin Theory of Mind

In the field of psychology rather than philosophy, Theory of mind refers to the capacity to understand other people by ascribing mental states to them. It is beyond clear that VA has no idea how to do that. Consider the old paint tin in your dad's garage. You can tell by the solidified lump of colou...

Re: What could make morality objective?

You claim to have set out 'the generally accepted criteria any rational person would readily accept' in assessing and comparing models of reality. I still feel it's worth noting that there is no rational person who accepts any of it. The only person who doesn't think it's entirely stupid is the one...

Re: Excel to Analyze Quranic Verses in 1400 Themes - Useless??

Yours is very short-sighted. How can you decide merely based on consensus from people confined to this forum? I told you from the beginning. I told you years ago, and I never needed backup. You are the one whoraised a thread looking for people to support your madness, and now you see there are none...

We need to establish a moral FSRC that has >90% of its input from the scientific FSRC.
In this case the moral FSRC can be rated at say 80/100.
And those numbers are pulled out of which orifice?

Re: Is Conservatism just NeoTraditionalism these days?

Who at this site are we supposed to consider a Conservative these days? I don't really see any. The central thesis of Conservatism - as I always understood it anyway - has been that our traditions and customs are not to be discarded without a care as though they never brought any value. Rather cust...

Re: Upcoming US Election

Well, whatever the case, it'd be nice if someone gets elected who can steer us all clear of WW3. We should never have given the Ukrainians weaponry. Ukraine would have been easily taken over without all the bloodshed. They'd be screwed politically, but at least Ukrainians would be alive today who a...

As such the resultant of the assessment would be acceptable by all rational people. Show me evidence where rational people has rejected the results of any such exercise on the excuse of circularity from traditional logic.
