Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
That is exactly how it works. No, it isn't. The representation is not the message. Type error. Again. I didn't ask you WHAT the message being represented is. I asked you WHERE the message being represented is. We don't know the message itself. We only know some of its representations. We? You and a...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
So how are you getting the content of your message across if the above is nothing more than a representation of the content? The content is just another representation, i.e. a mental one. Instead of magnetized disk sectors, it is probably something like activated neurons, or whatever. The details o...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
The map is not the territory. If it were, it would be unique. Type error. I did't ask you a "What is/isn't it?" question. I asked you a "Where is it?" question. Where is the message? You have a representation in your mind. Then, you represent that as symbols. Then, as a signal o...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
It is a Platonic abstraction. I didn't ask what it is. I asked where it is. If the above is only a representation of the message - where is the Platonically abstract message? You can only view its many representations. So if all I can view is the representation, how am I receiving your messages? Yo...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
So the above sentence is NOT the message. I've received nothing more from you than the above. It is a representation of the message. 👆 If this is a representation, where's the message? You can only communicate a representation of the message. 👆 If this is a representation, where's the message? Ever...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic
The map is not the territory. The physical incarnation of a message is not the message. So the above sentence is NOT the message. I've received nothing more from you than the above. So how come I am receiving a message? The symbol "1" that you can see on your screen is not the mathematica...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Well done Skepdick, you've stumbled across another wikipedia page. Now you can tell Immanuel Can all about it. I am telling you. It's pretty ironic that a "philosopher of science" has to start at Wikipedia. The same place my 8 year old niece starts. Get your niece to teach you some logic ...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Apparently there's a multiverse; or at the very least - the many worlds interpretations to go with. Well done Skepdick, you've stumbled across another wikipedia page. Now you can tell Immanuel Can all about it. I am telling you. It's pretty ironic that a "philosopher of science" has to st...

Re: Is morality objective or subjective?
Ah, past tense. So there was a point when you weren't saved and now you are. You attribute this to your own effort, even though your god knew everything that the soul he created would ever do, and yours is the kind of soul a supreme being wants to have an eternal relationship with. I can see why yo...

Re: Godel's Argument For God is Not Realistic

Re: The Soundness [???] of Godel's Argument for God
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...

∞ is a free variable
In Programming Language Theory there exists the concept/distinction between bound and unbound variables . In mathematics, and in other disciplines involving formal languages, including mathematical logic and computer science, a variable may be said to be either free or bound. A free variable is a no...

Re: Going 50/50
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...
