A statement about physical-world facts is NOT philosophy. A statement is philosophical if it is a statement about other statements. . The above statement is physically encoded in the database of this forum. It is physically rendered on my screen. It's true that I am making a statement about physica...

Anyway i can prove to u that the glass is a glass if and only if the following conditions are met: Now you still have to send me irrefutable proof about it from your location to mine. What exactly are you going to write in the digital file that could not possibly be a fabrication? I hope that it is...

In Programming Language Theory there exists the concept/distinction between bound and unbound variables . In colloquial English this could trivially be understood as the distinction between defined/bound and undefined/unbound terms. The symbol "x" is said to be unbound by default, until an...

You sound like a capitalist wannabe. Bribing people to leave you alone isn't even in your business model. That's just lobbying, n00b. That's why every black market "operator", and shady billionaires want protection under the law. It's much, much cheaper than playing by jungle rules. The o...

Who would waste their political capital on you? It is obviously always better to keep low profile, as much as you can. The more money you have, the more you become an possible target for a legal attack. So, you have to carefully hide how much you have. That is actually much easier in SE Asia becaus...

And you think because The Big Bad West went after Assange using sex as its attack vector they are out to get you because of your sexual exploits? It is not just Julian Assange. Another example is Dominique Strauss-Kahn who had to be eliminated as a candidate from the French presidential elections. ...

I have always made much more money that the locals in the West. That is why it is the same over here. The local law may discriminate against me as a foreigner but it is still vastly preferable than in the West because it does not create all these unnecessary risks. There is no risk of divorce-rape ...

That is what Julian Assange also initially thought. I bet the women he sexually assaulted didn't think it. She wasn't assaulted. She did not go on her initiative to the police. She was invited to come and talk about Julian Assange because he was under surveillance by the Swedish police for politica...

You are moving to conservative countries where women lack the economic freedoms you enjoy. You don't know what you are talking about. These women can own land and houses over here. As a foreigner, I cannot. They can get government jobs over here. As a foreigner, I cannot. And so on. Having local ci...

Yeah, but when women anywhere (West or East - doesn't matter) demand equal rights What exactly is it that a man is allowed to do that a woman is not? Is there really even one law that favors men over women? On your world-view? Put family second to economic freedom, apparently. Everybody can work, t...

So in summary - you like being a free rider. All upside - no downside. Reward without risk. Sounds like the West has figured out where to ditch its incompetent gamblers I guess that everybody was a free rider in the 1950ies in the West when most of these risks did not even exist. There's even an in...

How's that any different to Western alimony? Alimony is something for nothing. I do not have unconditional obligations. They don't exist here. https://www.foxnews.com/media/passport-bro-growing-number-men-ditching-american-women-overseas What is a passport bro? Growing number of men are ditching Am...

How's that any different to Western alimony?

You are too pedantic in this case. As I had stated there are two senses of 'proof' i.e. 1. strictly mathematical 2. ordinary sense. what is wrong with you? How do you prove the liguid in the glass is really water i.e. not anything else. Surely you have to refer to science and there is no need for p...

I'll take that as a yes. I'll take that as utter mathematical incompetence. On the plus side, I can speak English. In which English dialect is a part of the whole identical with the whole? You're officially dumber than a language model... In which English dialect is a part of the whole identical wi...
