He might be incorrect. That's a possibility with such an assertion. But it's not a moral assertion. Yes it is. All judgments about "correctness" or "incorrectness" are performed with respect to some norm. He admits to that. He appeals to "the way we use words" as being...

See? You guys let him get so frisky he set up a hotkey to swear at you with. Stop messing with him, it's not nice. It's nap time for skepdick. It's so cute when you start projecting your theory of mind onto me. Is that what causes you to swear? Being frisky? Heh. Also, "frisky" people don...

You can't have two people lavishing this much attention on Skepdick in the same thread, or even on the same day in different ones. It gets him overexcited and he has to write c unt all the time. There will be tears before bedtime, you mark my words. There's a feature in Mac OS where I just type &qu...

Why is 'water is H2O' a true factual assertion, given the way we use those signs in context? Mmm. Why is 'water is not H2O' a false factual assertion, given the way, etc? Mmm. Why is 'water is chicken' a false factual assertion, given the way, etc? Mmm. Ah. The amazing usefulness of philosophy. We ...

I have this question which I want to ask the OP: What do you mean :?: May I suggest you read the OP? Happy to clarify anything. However - objectivity is to do with facts, so perhaps I should have asked 'Are there moral facts?' instead. However, for a long time now, VA and sidekick dick-for-brains h...

Language does NOT an cannot express anything about an "external" reality. Of course it can. We just can't know when it does. Potato/potaoh. If we accept your premise (how do we know it's true?) then that is a sufficient condition for disposing with Peter "Dumb Cun t" Holmes's co...

I am referring to the MEANING of 0 123456789. Same thing I am refering to. Perhaps you aren't familiar with the syntax/semantics distinction. The symbols are just syntax. The meaning of those symbols is in your head... Mathematics doesn't see any meaning to the information and this ignorance has le...

Oh boy. Your theory...

Does your theory fix the problem with theorising about theories? Because that's the infinite regress problem.

You are simply regurgitating what you have been brainwashed to accept. No, I am not. I deny that "quantity" has anything to do with the physical realm. I never said it was a physical egg. It's just an emoji. How many emoji-eggs do you see? 🥚🥚 Do you want me to write you a computer program...

I am saying that the information expressed by What do you mean by "information"? Are you not refering to the concept as ellucidated in Information Theory and as defined in Shannon's Mathematical theory of communication It's a pretty abundant concept. You live in the Information Age after ...

"Mathematics is both discovered and invented." Yeah. And my model expresses the state, an actual phenomenon that can be experienced, that gives rise to the appearance of mathematics being both discovered and invented. This is OBVIOUS I guess at some point you are going to have to tell us ...

Dick-for-brains is an offensive, moronic troll who's still excited by the discovery that signifiers are arbitrary, and that signs don't magically contain signifieds. Having googled, the fuckwit thinks that symbol-grounding is a problem. There's no hope. Peter "Dumb Cun t" Holmes still doe...

No, I'm pretty honest. If I say I don't know what something means, it is highly likely to be the truth. As for defining "define", you must remain unsatisfied, I'm afraid. :( In which case I don't know what "define" means either. PIty - you can't seem to show me what that label r...

You don't think using philosophy's own methods against it and watching it backfire is hilarious? I probably don't know enough about philosophy, and its methods, to be able to fully appreciate the humour. If the whole thing is a game of gotcha and burden-tennins it seems weebit lame to play the game...
