I disagree with every word you say, but I will fervently defend your right to say it..

@ouroborossun @TOEwithCurt It's not an epistemological issue, it's a linguistic one. We're not wondering whether Batmsn exists, we're wondering how to express his non-existence. What you're talking about is Frege's sense vs. reference distinction.

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@Noonien_Soong_ @TOEwithCurt That's exactly the 'ontological slum' Russell was talking about when criticizing Meinong.

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@ouroborossun @TOEwithCurt Not about improbability. If saying 'X doesn't exist' is true, it should be about X, but it can't be because X doesn't exist. So Russell reformulated it to read 'It's not true that X exists', while Meinong believed non-existent beings subsist so we can refer to them, etc.

@brianclegg Rather normal in many languages that have 'data' in both singular and plural.

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@brianclegg Did I imply anywhere that assumptions are the same as truth? And you obviously think truth is identical to facts, which is not all that uncontroversial.

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@brianclegg Everything we know about the Universe indeed is (educated) guesswork. We can also call it truth (and I believe we should). There's no point in reserving 'truth' for that we'll never reach.

@TheLOTRMemes How much of a cougar are you, from 0 to Arwen :)

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@HunterHarpy @TheLOTRMemes Or too greedily

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@PavolRusnak 😅😅😅

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@twinhelices @TOEwithCurt Is it just me or did Einstein reach for a theory long ignored (Leibniz's relational theory) for his insights?

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@Yoystan Congratulations. May the White Tree of your love sprout and bloom for many years to come.

@MishaRogov @IAI_TV I think there's a bottom-up way to the transcendental, not neccesarily a top-down way. The top-down approach (especially in Jaspers) asks of us to accept the existence of the transcendent as an article of faith and this is supposed to the the ultimate grounds to everything else.

@Stoic_David @TOEwithCurt 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Grok at his best, why bother, let it be.
Better yet, we geometrize the quantum realm.

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@PotentialHuman2 @skdh Absolutely so. But also note, decision is just an overide mechanism, diverting the natural cause of events. Because, if everything is a decision, nothing is (or at least the same kind of decision). No wise-sounding attempt detected 😉

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@PotentialHuman2 @skdh I'm glad I could help, but beware, any rescue from the boring reality is just a superposition, the measurement is imminent.

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@PotentialHuman2 @skdh So more empirically grounded mathematician philosophers would be the goodest?

Never spoil a meta with a completely reasonable explanation, the first rule of Meta-Club!
It's like what the electron always says: I'm not indeterminate, you just don't know how to measure🤷

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@PotentialHuman2 @skdh So, now we have an infinite amount of Zenos?
You'd think there'd be something as 'enough philosophers' as an universal constant.

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@anotherdalla @Dadsaysjokes Nope, after a docking

[Mate Penava @mate_penava]

@callmejp13 @Dadsaysjokes Nope, ogre on a porch :)
