Philosophy Now Forum

This is a topic which I have posted in other forums, with a notable lack of significant critical response. Most people would conclude that their exposition is lacking, and would work to improve it. So I try my luck here. You, on the other hand, choose to just post it again, hoping for a different r...

This theory shows how all of mathematics is incorrect. That makes you a garden variety crank. But without my having to watch you sit silently in front of a webcam for two hours, can you just give a simple example of a piece of math that you've proven incorrect? And please provide the proof. If &quo...

I'm free of suffering and sit around in bliss all day. That's it? You sit around in bliss all day? So does a fentanyl addict on skid row. What kind of life is that? Any more advice? Yes. Have you considered posting to the Metaphysics forum? Your posts would be more appropriate there. Your content h...

If you are on drugs, you should stop immediately. If you are not on drugs, you should start.

"I did click on your video link and by great coincidence happened to fast forward directly to where you rapped your knuckles on your whiteboard and knocked it over, making a loud crashing sound. That was hilarious. Is all this a joke? You seem very serious, but I see no intellectual content.&q...

So how do you explain the fact that, given a sufficiently large sample, the mean tends to approach closer and closer to a true average? alan1000, you may find this to be of interest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers In probability theory, the law of large numbers (LLN) is a theore...

What's weird is the number of quantum physicists with four-letter names starting with B. Bohr, Born, Bohm. Proves we live in a simulation.

You think perhaps that sol ing that hypnosis ... See you ARE a bit of a jokester. That's a decent pun. and winning a million dollars would lead to happiness, when I know the direct path.

Here is the application of my ideas: https://youtu.be/oIZ9qs5pFgw I clicked around through your 2+ hour video, and it seems to consist entirely of you staring into the camera and smirking without saying a word. I didn't watch the whole thing to see if there were any crashing whiteboards. Did I miss...

Just as I suspected; none of that got through "Philosophers" are the most deluded of all because they can't see through the illusion of thought itself. It is fun to drop by and watch the crazies spin on their hamster wheel Just condescend to my pathetic level and explain to my poor beknig...

It's not well known, but Bertrand Russell had lifelong problems with his feet and his teeth. Wherever he traveled, he was always accompanied by his podiatrist and his dentist. People would say, Here comes Russell with his pair o' docs. His biographer mis-transcribed this to Russell's paradox, and th...

I'm reminded of the great Star Trek episode where two guys are condemned to violently fight each other forever inside a dimensional corridor in order to keep the rest of the universe safe. Thanks @Skepdick and @Magnus for keeping the rest of the forum safe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alternat...

It's not particularly surprising. The inequality relation is undecidable for infinite precision reals. x < y doesn't halt for x=0, y = 0.0000.... (maybe a non-0). That's because the blank tape (can a Turing machine determine that all of the cells are blank?) problem reduces to the halting problem. ...
