Hello, we more or less collectively decided against the like button here. I've been on INFJ forum and I know they enjoy the validation and encouragement it gives them as an expression of Fe or whatver :p WELCOME TO THE DARK CASTLE :evil:

There is a confusion of terms here, asserting the non existence of something is not the same as not having a concept for something. Thinking "X does not exist" is 100% a thought. Lack of belief in god is exactly the same as "belief in the non existence of god", it isn't the same as "lack of any...

Neither. Babies do not yet have the semantic or cognitive capacity to say «X exists» or «X does not exist» ??? They have no belief on this one way or another ? Saying «god does not exist» is a belief, a belief is a mental and propositional stance on the disposition of the world. On the other...

strangely I find this offensive, projecting intentionality onto to the world is a basic cognitive thing that we do, most societies are either traditionally animist/polytheist or deist, deism having usually come out of animism where people decide there is one over arching intentionality instead...

So you are not Rook ? I am confused. If so, how did you meet Rook.

Dangerous to build socio-psychological theories using memes/stereotypes as our concepts. Othering. Dehumanizing. False. And then, the fuckin cherry on top : Explaining the meme with unprovable untestable evolutionary biological theories. Shoddy reasoning from start to finish imo.

Really what I was taking issue with, was this characetrization in Cog's post of large swarths of populations (particularly females apparently, in his own words) as basic bitches. A kind of abstract and reductive dehumanizing stereotype/meme that is poorly defined and doesn't really describe...

There is no authority great enough to stop you from having an opinion. I am simply saying that in my opinion, your opinion is biased, not because you are a man, but because you are a fallible human being subject to cognitive bias. As I am also in many instances. (but not in this one of course...

Actually the whole OP to me sounds like a dude who, after self-analyzing himself is in fact worried about traits he observes within himself as being "feminine". Traits which are actually completely and trivially common in both genders such as "sensitivity" , "wanting emotional connections" and...

I think that was a parody of you. quite a funny one as well :D (see washti, I do still receive you a bit)

Hi Nadeko. I've got no shoegaze recs, try the forum devoted to niche musical genres for introverted hipsters instead. :D Welcome This forest is old... very old... full of memories...

Well I did say the interpretation of "or else" could be subject to controversy, I only came across the updated version later on. I will agree yet again that the puzzle is poorly worded. You can find the intended interpretation in it, but it's also misleading. So you know, fair enough !

When you listen to netanyahu do you believe everything he says :p or do you consider that some of the statements may be false and could be other functions. I'm only half teasing, i am aware that its an annoying question (hell its in the title) thread

So, what is it like to live in Israel

Asking a program to solve it in that way is useless, you're just telling a computer what to print in advance and cutting out the relevant possibilities. These are statements with a truth value so the factors are queen/no queen and ace/no ace. Your program is not adapted to solving the problem as...

@Firehazard159 Well, like I said in the previous post, I am kind of exhausted, so I hope you get something out of this. This being a self contained purely theoretical puzzle, the soundness of the argument is circularly given by the fact that you accept the first two premises, (and decide...

The dripping sarcasm in this kind of upsets me ngl, I don't feel like I really deserve it. And I don't know what all that not sharing brainwaves/platforms stuff is about either, we are unable to communicate because I took a break from the forum and you stopped using discord ? I know my appeals...

The order in which the premises are stated changes absolutely nothing, they both apply just the same to the reasoning. If I say 1) (p->q) V (~p->q) [(queen implies ace) OR (not queen implies ace) 2) p It's exactly the same result. The premises constrain the interpretation of the table. The...

@washti Maybe I haven't been clear. It's not a question of whether or not OR has a "cannot confirm" option. You're right, it doesn't. Or is simply an operator that gives a value of "true" or "false" according to the set of rules that govern it. Premises of the puzzle (in case of inclusive OR)...

Oh shit wrong pdf hahaha sorry, good thing it was that and not something weirder. I will give you the right pdf in a few hours :p For the logic question I am still good though. «Cannot confirm» is not the truth value i assign to OR, but my answer to the question «what follows?» It is in...

It's king and ace in this paper. Uhhh go around pages 210, 212, 204-205 there is relevant stuff. I do not misrepresent OR :mad:... how

First of all I would point out the obvious implicit atomic proposition in the doctor example. The doctor is telling me that I will not die because of the cancer, which is a different propositional item than dying of chemo. But let me ignore this and do the truth table for chemo/exclusive...

Naughty bot drugs are bad.

Saying "maybe the killer will murder you anyway" does not invalidate the statement she made. If I give the donut and she does kill me, it simply means that the statement did not describe the world accurately. The statement was still "valid" as in it could have been true or false, it had a truth...

omg you are so super wrong hado. The fact that the killer could kill me anyway does NOT change the meaning communicated in the threat when she says it , that is, as she wants me to believe it. If she told me "Give me the donut and I will kill you anyway" I have no reason to give her the donut...

No no no no no no There is no deck, there are no actual cards, this is NOT empirical. All the information is in the text. And my "no ace" answer (given an exclusive disjunction) is irrefutable. The enigma could just as well be : If there is a flippyflop then there is a cthulhu, or else...

My conclusion to all this, is that people have a bias in which they do not tend to consider the possibilities of falsehood and do not include it so naturally into their reasoning.

@washti Here is the truth table with the inclusive "or", another reasonable interpretation of the question. Here is your truth table washti. Your conclusion is still somewhat counter-intuitive however, because all you can say is "cannot confirm if ace or no ace." You can see that with...

@Firehazard159 I know this is really annoying and I really am sorry, but no one on this thread can really reject the conclusion of the truth table, unless you reject the principles of formal logic. I am certain that my demonstration is correct because I made a logician friend do it on their own...

That's fine if you think that who am I to judge, but could you flesh out your reasoning

Nope

If there is a queen in the hand then there is an ace in the hand, or else if there isn't a queen in the hand then there is an ace in the hand. There is a queen in the hand. What follows? --------------------------- Stop reading here if you don't want the breakdown of my answer to this...

I've never had anything like this, it was really just for the forum and not for anything else ? How did the problem show up ? The site just wouldn't load ?

You just have to trudge through it I'm afraid. Get up, eat, go out the door. Do enough work that it doesn't become more stressful than it should be. Relax. Be authentic, don't judge other people too harshly either, many of them are struggling in one way or another with insecurities, even if...

OP is no longer here but it's the best chapter in the book, and the only scene the bad film got right.

Men watch TV a lot as far as I can tell, and a huge ammount of programs are made for them. Source please.

Chelsea Manning has recently been released from detainment after a failed suicide attempt, she has been fined a quarter of a million dollars. You can help her out if you like. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-chelsea-pay-her-court-fines

56% masculine and 36% feminine. I think I am more feminine than this and could have answered better on some questions. I evaluate myself spontaneously at 50-50.

PS : I think Adaire was just trying to lighten the mood, I doubt her goal was to put u down

Well if it makes ypu feel any better lots of women are freaked out by interractions with the opposite sex. I for example went most of high school not talking to anyone XY chromosomed (with a few brief exceptions) because relations between the genders just felt too loaded and weird and awkward...

If you feel comfortable doing so of course, I get it if you would rather not. It's just that the information would be relevant ?

Can you tell us what the text was ? If you are french as your name suggests tu peux l'écrire en Français

*oops by european elections I meant the french european elections.

You shouldn't hold it against onestep because they are certainly capable of being clear and interesting, people sometimes get sucked into philosophical jargon and I think using it this way can be almost involuntary sometimes when you get really enthusiastic about it. First year philosophy...

That sounds like a good potential explanation for the results of the experiments Serac is referring to. @Serac thank you I'll browse.

Basically @Serac I think you're talking about paradigm shifters when you designate people like Newton or Einstein or whatever, which does indeed demand practically superhuman creativity. Funnily enough both of those people have stories of being very mediocre at school/uni. But, I think it's...

I'm agreed he was mega genius. But he's not the only example of scientific progress. Basically all I'm saying is I think a lot of the time some people collects a ton of data methodically even though it's boring as hell and not creative and this is a necessary block for building knowledge and a...
