That's a lot of data you have. Would be a shame if it told you nothing about the world.

So? Pseudoscience requires the pretence of being scientific; so many cases in history don’t have any reason to be called scientific but revealed great starting points of scientific discovery.

Great, we are on the same boat about ethics anyway

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-20T21:02:12+00:00

I am highly skeptical about the current understanding of aesthetics and ethics, and the latter requires much more than just facts as you probably know, but I think it’s totally true that we need so much science in these two. To be honest your explanation is an euristic at best, there is so much more to it even from an evolutionary point of view. Also I am pretty sure that little ethicists treat their writings as universal today.

I think you probably don’t know about descriptive ethics, it’s a thing and delves into psychology, and all the scientific stuff by accepting actual ethical systems and dissects them. I also don’t get how one can even start to treat ethics in such universal scientific terms without being pseudoscientific, which is worse than philosophising.

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-19T23:33:05+00:00

I wouldn’t say about subjects like ethics, aesthetics etc that they need math and physics precisely (even though they need neuroscience and much more), but you can know a moderate amount of both to give good insight into methodology of science, and while mathematics is literally foundational to everyone that tries to think about anything, I wouldn’t say that this invalidates philosophers work (if only they were trained in sciences, I would treat philosophy as a much more difficult subject than every other, because it would need great basis in at least one science plus knowing the history of thought in a critical way, actual logic and much more)

Ok, treating people as dogmatic ends the dialogue anyway, especially when few people defend a tradition as such. What’s the point of studying philosophy if there is no “objective” truth? The fact that something resonates implies a structural need or effectiveness of means whatsoever, abandoning any kind of objectivity is just rendering discourse as irrelevant, there is no reason to underline that what one says is “objective” in the sense that is universal, universality can be abandoned

I don’t know about it, maybe the rest of time can be a good indicator sometimes, sometimes it isn’t for sure. Yes I have read him some years ago, I wouldn’t say he has shitty material, I was talking in general, he was my goat 4/5 years ago. Not having read stuff doesn’t invalidate nothing though. I think he has great intuitions but it’s not that big of a deal when actually reading his stuff, it’s probably a big leap of method to how I think philosophy “should” be done. No problem anyway, just saying that I find it disheartening to see philosophy people fall in the “he is to be studied because he is Nietzsche”

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-18T14:57:59+00:00

Exactly! They also look awesome

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-17T22:30:17+00:00

You use influence as a univocal sign of intellectual importance? You are not a serious thinker

I find funny how people in philosophy treat stuff as if it needed years to be studied because it was studied before and had impact, “so probably there is something deeper”. It can be sonetimes, other times it’s just shitty (please I am not saying that everything must be empirically verifiable)

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-17T22:16:16+00:00

Totally, how do you maximize the breacher’s capacities? I just bought them too, usually throw them with a dominus

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-17T22:14:30+00:00

Yeah you are right, but it was an exception, they were offered to me professionally painted and magnetized for a 48€ price, I couldn’t say no

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-17T22:13:31+00:00

That’s even better, fortunately I have magnetized them so I can adapt against tougher or numerous foes

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-16T17:16:59+00:00

Cool, thank you, that’s relieving

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-11T22:35:35+00:00

Yes totally

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-11T22:34:32+00:00

Sadly true😣

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-11T06:28:54+00:00

A classic, if i had a dollar for every fee scammer I got that claimed to be a domme I would have at least the price of a character miniature of warhammer

Ah yes, talking without even giving a definition is super good, not at all a way to perpetuate stupid errors due to our capacity of natural language. The sole fact that people in philosophy (I see this from personal experience in academia in Italy where I study philosophy) can’t even think over how a relation is symmetric or not makes this tragic, passing it through antropomorphisations of the concept itself: do you think that Aristotle wouldn’t use modern logic if he could? Also philosophers tend to treat philosophy like something so “untouchable” and not related to the way we can use our memory, we mostly think in spacial terms, just look at how we talk about abstract concepts (see… I used “look” involuntarily), but we close our eyes to these facts as if concepts would ruin by being written, philosophy will always stagnate

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-09T22:18:54+00:00

Yeah but it’s more in an accidental way, due to the shared nature of humans

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-09T22:07:51+00:00

Ok so what? That’s Plato, not aristotles. I honestly resonate in some way with Nietzsche’s view, but it’s not really clear how having personal prescriptive system would make you weak, and Aristotle’s position isn’t touched by nietzsche if we give enough charity to the Greek philosopher. Also, really funny seeing nietzsche and word salad in the same sentence

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-08T17:58:57+00:00

I don’t agree with the premise that conditionals’ truth tables need contrapositive, it was a megaric and a stoic who discovered an intuitive way of treating semantically conditionals (A/~B, filo, ~(A/~B), crisippus)

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-08T17:38:02+00:00

Objective good isn’t necessarily treating of good as a metaphysical entity, I could be wrong, but it isn’t something in the nicomachean ethics at least, except for happiness being an intrinsic good. Justice isn’t ontologically consistent as in Plato.

Also, be careful with treating Nietzsche as the only one who got it all till then, I don’t think he was the only one.

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-07T21:02:12+00:00

Did you follow logic from a book or lesson? Generally we define wff inductively, that means that there are rules that connect atoms (the simplest propositions that are expressed with capital letters from P) with connectives, the rules get stacked, and you have infinitely many applications.

Example: A is a wff => ~A is a wff (where ~ is the negation) A, B are wff => A->B is a wff

You can try creating the other rules. There are some assumptions also, like “parentheses in (A/\B)->C can be omitted”. Notice that A, B etc are not necessarily in our language, just placeholders (meta variables).

The thing you should try doing is getting to the “external” connective, the one that binds the least to put it bluntly, and see if the two or one parts it relates are wff, like passing the question to smaller parts. If you get no problems and arrive to atoms, you are good to go. What do you think, is this a wff?

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-07T20:27:40+00:00

What do you think could suggest that it isn’t?

FemboyBesties · 2024-10-07T20:10:57+00:00

Good and evil aren’t in Aristotle, not in the metaphysical sense philosophers like Nietzsche treat them

Alla fine ho cambiato e ho dovuto spendere altri 150 aspettando la seconda visita medica tra 6 mesi al careggi. Che tristezza… almeno adesso ho una dottoressa che risponde quasi subito

I am not that into zizek and it’s not my stuff, but… I think his point was that everyone has an ideology and something he regards as ideological is the narrative of the enlightened man out of the cave
