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...

Aren't you lucky? Next time you see her - she'll be able to teach you even more.

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 ...

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...

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...

A statement about physical-world facts is NOT philosophy. A statement is philosophical if it is a statement about other statements. . The above statement was physically communicated from your mind into the database of this forum. It is further communicated to my computer and physically rendered on ...

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 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...

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...
