Epistemology

[max_freakout]

And aesthetics and ethics and politics and ontology and logic and mind and mathematics and language.

these ^ can all be reduced (again, broadly speaking) to metaphysics and epistemology of various subjects


political philosophy, for example, is precisely the metaphysics and epistemology of political organisation

 

[Dillinger4]

Your reductionist philosophies have already been shown to ridiculous, really.

Oh, also, it is pretty clear you actually have no interest whatsoever in any kind of discussion. All you want to do is repeat your mantras.

 

[bluestreak]

nobody ever gave a shit on this forum lol!


i post the same exact threads on several *proper* philosophy forums, with drastically different results, people just dont want to discuss philosophy here for some reason, but it's fun to post

Perhaps because philosophy forums are full of bullshit merchants, whereas around here we actually like to have rational discussions which have meaning. Every one of your threads is you banging on about the same point time and time again. It's dull as fuck, and you're incapable of actually egaging anyone in debate.

Max is surplus now we have that max bot thingy.

Nothing is everything.

Existence is not truth.

this ^ sums it up, philosophy forums are full of people who want to discuss philosophy,


and according to that definition, this is not a philosophy forum

academic philosophers discuss the problems of knowledge, but not urban 75 philosophy forum 'philosophers'

 

[bluestreak]

The problem is you, you drug-addled muppet.

But how can you discuss anything with someone that just keeps repeating the same things?

 

[Dillinger4]

Most of us here would like to discuss philosophy, I think.

Why don't you?

i post the same exact threads on several *proper* philosophy forums, with drastically different results and it was much better because some people agreed with me and didn't think I was an idiot you're all stupid because you don't agree with me lol.

Fixed for you

 

[max_freakout]

Fixed for you

people never agree with me, even on proper philosophy forums, but that has never been the point of philosophical debate anyway

 

[max_freakout]

do you think there is a difference between belief and knowledge?

I bet I know more academic philosophers than you, you muppet. You make me ashamed to be Dutch.

Does it never occur to you that if NO ONE agrees with you, you might be wrong?

 

[Dillinger4]

do you think there is a difference between belief and knowledge?

I think that sentence has become completely meaningless and empty in your hands.

 

[Santino]

All right, for the last fucking time:

Knowledge is a form of belief, i.e. belief that is an accurate model of reality.

 

[max_freakout]

knowledge = belief that is an accurate model of reality.

please give me an example

 

[max_freakout]

noone agreed with Newton when he first proposed his model of the space-time


did that mean he was wrong?

 

[Dillinger4]

Are you comparing yourself to Isaac Newton?

 

[mrsfran]

No one agrees with my aunt Gladys that there's an elephant on her head. Does that mean she's wrong?

 

[Dillinger4]

The difference is, of course, there are billions of people throughout history who just made up random ideas and actually were completely wrong.

Isaac Newton was a mathematician and based his theories on science and mathematics, and so on.

You, on the other hand, are absolutely clueless about just about everything.

 

[mrsfran]

Are you comparing yourself to Isaac Newton?

Oh yes. Remember, they all laughed at Christopher Columbus and Galilleo too. Max is like them. One day, we'll all realise that he's a genius.

was Newton wrong?


specifically, was he wrong BECAUSE noone agreed with him?

 

[Santino]

please give me an example

no

He really believes it, you know.

That he is a genius and that only he knows the truth, and everyone else is deluded, or something.

I dont know if you read any of this thread of any of the others, but it shows pretty clearly, IMO.

 

[max_freakout]

the statement

"nothing is true" cannot be wrong, the position of the sceptic is irrefutable

 

[mrsfran]

was Newton wrong?


specifically, was he wrong BECAUSE noone agreed with him?

He was wrong about many, many things. He was right about others.

Max, are you seriously telling us you're like Newton? That you've stumbled upon some genius and that one day we'll all realise you were right?

Which is more likely: everyone else in the WORLD is wrong and you are right. OR. you are wrong?
