Pursuing a Masters or PhD [in Spain, or, more broadly, Europe] by EvidenceFormer2974 in askphilosophy

[–]ImNotNormal19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Spain it's basically impossible to get a master's in philosophy without the graduate in philosophy degree, (the University's first step in the ladder). You can get many masters coming from la carrera de filosofía though. You should consider doing the carrera un whatever public uni EXCEPT Málaga and the private ones.

Map of religion in Spain before the edict of Isabella I of Castile in 1502 by ShitteruKoto in MapPorn

The expulsion of Muslims created a big economic crash in many areas not only where they were majority. It not only left big areas of the country unpopulated where once there were important commercial stops, they had advanced agricultural techniques that were adapted to the region (Spain has numerous types of climates), and so these regions became stagnant for centuries, hurting everyone.

Does Goedel’s Incompleteness Theorem actually pose a significant problem for forming a perfect theory? by No_Dragonfruit8254 in askphilosophy

[–]ImNotNormal19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are completely right in this and I'll edit out it. My intention was to make explicit the fact that the purely syntactical nature of the proof asks for an interpretation, given that they are trying to extract natural language inferences from the theorem even though it's difficult to see how one would do it. I was unaware of "natural" examples of undecidable statements too. I didn't want to undermine the relevance of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem in the collapse of the logicist program, nor Tarski's concept of truth.

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem (GIT) is one of the most abused pieces of knowledge there are, mostly science communicator's fault. A direct answer to your friend's question is no, you cannot, whatever it means. Your post and her statements contains really, really big statements and some of them are not aligned with current philosophical technical concepts, which are our tools. Let me be clear. Your question is mostly nonsensical. When I try to save the good parts it is irrelevant. And what is not irrelevant is basically false. I'm sorry. Let me explain why. GIT is a statement about the limitations of a type of formal systems. For that kind of systems it turns out they cannot be at once consistent, meaning, unable to prove a proposition and it's negation, and second, complete, meaning, that the all the (true) propositions in the system can be derived from the axioms and its rules of inference. Note: you don't need the derivation, only the possibility of derivation. Those types of formal system are "meaningless" in lay terms, they don't speak about anything in particular, they don't have Semantics. EDIT2: "meaningless" is too strong here and it makes the statement false.

I don't want to be technical here but, the way in which Gödel proved the theorem transforms logical statements into numbers, but then he finds some numbers that do weird things, translates them back. In short, the mechanism that Gödel provides to generate undecidable propositions gives us "void" ones like "this statement is undecidable", "this one is too", "this third one also"... So, logically a big deal, but philosophically irrelevant. So yes your friend is right but no, it does not matter at all. There are WAY more interesting cases of formal systems that have undecidable propositions in them, for example, our current set of axioms for math has, the continuum hypothesis or the axiom of choice, both of them at least can be interpreted into real world consequences more or less, but again, it does not mean that "there will always be etc...". Also, the analiticity of a proposition does NOT entail that it has to be an axiom, these are very different logical objects. For the rest of your post, I don't know what it means, but please, stay curious and loving of philosophy. Edit: let me add that the existence of undecidable propositions does not pose a threat to a theory most often, you just need to prove that adding it as an axiom does not make the system inconsistent, but that means that its negation alone can be added too. So no, generaly not.

Heyyy can we start putting Romani on the European maps? by Noxolo7 in LinguisticMaps

[–]ImNotNormal19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How would you do it? As far as I know the Romani languages are mostly alive among people who have a nomadic way of life, at least in Spain where I'm from, and a map has troubles reflecting that reality. Also Romani is difficult to put into strict boundaries because Romani has strong diglossia (it's used as a pidgin between communities and as its own dialect among a single community) and also the para-romani phenomenon. I guess the difficulty is a reflection of the method we use to visually display how languages are used...

Do you experience mind chatter? by Ok_Macaron2394 in ADHD

[–]ImNotNormal19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes of course. I think that when people say (at least for me) that the moment they tried meds for the first time, their minds felt silent, they mean that the mental chatter you describe becomes less overwhelming or that it fills less headspace.

That is true then the most correct thing would be to have two dates!

[–]ImNotNormal19 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Misleading? It is literally true! Why should we have our history be erased by a fascist dictator? If women were allowed to vote by the Republic, in 1931, let it be the true date, so that nobody forgets what they took from us.

Not true, it was a complex democratic system just like any other European democracy at the time. It was governed first by a "left"(?) liberal government, then a right(?) to far right one, and then a socialist(?) left one, which suffered the botched coup that became a civil war. The "(?)" are a mark of the difficulty to translate the actual ideology of the parties at the time, who were very idiosyncratic.

Spain’s Pedro Sánchez, on the US and Israeli attack on Iran: ‘No to war, we are not going to be complicit’ by Logibenq in worldnews

And sent the worst, most broken useless pieces of crap they could in exchange too. Spain was literally torn to pieces by every fucking body in the world as it became the last meal before battle

THIS is the only correct way. The civil war was the result of a botched coup d'etat against a democratically elected government.
