Re: Dopson's Paradox
THis is called the "Liars; paradox " THis PARADOX does not bear your name, you camera shy dope. I have to say that your YouTube effort is the worst I have ever seen. It's like watching paint dry. I could not watch more than a few seconds witing for you to gather what few thoughts were try...

Re: How to be a Moral Realist
From your study of history, anthropology and cultural studies, have you come across any groups of human or individual[s] who readily would act or accept that babies can be tortured and killed for pleasure? Yes. And is that the ONLY basis of your moral objectivism? :D :D :D :D Yes??? tortured and ki...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
Mathematics investigates abstract, Platonic worlds. The fact that you are not aware of that, simply shows that you are ignorant of what mathematics is. The fact there exist downstream uses for its results, does not mean that these downstream uses are its purpose. You think that you know what mathem...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
It's academic masturbation, and a desperate attempt to squeeze stuff we cannot understand into a theory that cannot be verified. In this sense it is religious. Nonstandard models of arithmetic are provable. They are as provable as 1+1=2, and from exactly the same theoretical context: So much ignora...

Re: How to be a Moral Realist
My apprehension of morality has always been from the perspective of history, anthropology and cultural studies. My own education has included history and archaeology, but I also had an early grounding in science. For me it just beggars belief that morality and claims of scientific objectivity can a...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
The notion of multiverse is the result of almost a century of analyzing the structure of the universe of the natural numbers. Yes, in science fiction. But even the proponents cannot agree what the idea is for, and what such a reality would look like in practice. It naturally emerged out of a centur...

Re: Heaven and hell are not just "illusory"
You seriously underestimate the consequences of Godel's incompleteness theorems. Furthermore, Godel did not invent them. He painstakingly discovered them. Godel and Einstein were close friends during their time at Princeton. It is still not clear who will eventually turn out to be the most influent...

Re: How to be a Moral Realist
The levels of your self-delusions are breathtaking. You keep digging yourself deeper and deeper, not seemingly capable of joining up the dots. To be fair, the paper he is referencing is not only very very disimilar to anyting VA argues, but it is also far too clever and technical for VA to even und...

Re: How to be a Moral Realist
It is a tragic shame that you cannot apply this insight to your posts on "objective morality", since you seem to be using the "geometric method" to impose your own will upon the moral landscape yet can have not objective justification for doing so. Don't be too hasty. I am not w...
