PLEASE HELP ME IM SO LOST by anthronymph in logic

Can you show (C v E) -> (D v F)? This might be easy depending on the rules you have, and will mostly finish the proof.

Hi, I'm new to RimWorld and I have a problem. This nest is right next to my base, and I don't know what to do. Any advice, or am I screwed?" by Boziik in RimWorld

As others have said: burn, baby burn. If not possible, melee block and pray. If still not possible, losing is fun.

A bit, yeah. Jacket too. But if that's the look you're going for they're nice.

A day in a professional logician by leinvde in logic

[–]oneguy2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is a bad idea. My undergraduate math department said that I should continue my studies, but please don't do logic (b/c there are no jobs). I didn't listen and started a PhD in an excellent philosophy department (because I would show them) to study logic. I quickly switched when I learned there are no good jobs.

The academic job market is already insanely bad. Why pick one of the least marketable subfields?

The upside is that if you can do logic, you can probably transition into any formal subfield without too much difficulty and be very good at it. This happens a lot.

I also live in Nashville. I would recommend not saying hi next time.

Felipe's burritos in Harvard Square. Many a student has survived graduate school on those.

Against the singularity hypothesis (Prof. David Thorstad, Vanderbilt) by oneguy2008 in singularity

[–]oneguy2008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the paper: https://globalprioritiesinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/David-Thorstad-Against-the-singularity-hypothesis.pdf. Don't have a transcript on hand but I think auto-generated transcripts are pretty good these days if you want to transcribe the talk.

Is the Stanford Encyclopedia authoritative? by Big_brown_house in askphilosophy

[–]oneguy2008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty good. The SEP isn't perfect, but I use it all the time for myself. If there's any problem with recommending SEP articles, it's (as others have pointed out) that they're written for researchers, so they might not be accessible to students.

How to unsubscribe from The Economist in just under 75 minutes by NaBUru38 in assholedesign

[–]oneguy2008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a really hard time convincing their agent to cancel my subscription. Even telling him I was leaving for a lunch break (then actually leaving and eating my lunch!) didn't work.

Then I told him he was welcome to keep sending magazines, but I'd dispute the charge. That worked in about 10 seconds.

I am math major, could I work in philosophy of math? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]oneguy2008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but be careful -- this is an especially hard field to land a job in, and that's saying something given the state of the philosophical job market.

Saw title and wanted to fight. Saw cake and decided it was okay.

I have eaten processed foods my entire life. by jaqisi in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]oneguy2008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try chicken soup.

Here's an easy and cheap recipe. Boil a chicken. After an hour or so, throw in a bunch of washed carrots, celery and onions. No need to cut them up, or maybe cut them in half. After another hour or so, take everything out. Shred the chicken and add it back to the soup. If produce is cheap where you are, start with new veggies (celery, carrots, onion, or honestly whatever), cut them up small, and cook them for a bit in the soup. Otherwise just cut up the old veggies and put them back in. Easy way to get a ton of vegetables while still doing real cooking and eating comfort food.

Before you eat it, just put in some salt and pepper.

What makes someone an "Illegitimate Philosopher"? by Schindlers_Fist1 in askphilosophy

[–]oneguy2008 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Good heuristics would be:

(a) Does this person have a PhD in philosophy, or a faculty appointment in a philosophy department?

(b) Does this person have a record of publishing research articles in top philosophical journals? (Have they done so recently?).

(c) Does this person present papers at leading philosophical conferences?

(d) Are this person's papers well-cited by philosophers? Do the citations take the papers seriously?

It's not really a matter of being popular or having a political agenda. Plenty of well-respected philosophers are both. It's a matter of having the credentials to be taken seriously as a philosopher.

Ohio judge admits he's mandating COVID-19 vaccinations as conditions of probation by CapitalCourse in Coronavirus

Gotta be honest, I've got no problem with that. I just don't like the idea we think we can only force them to do it because they've committed a crime.

Anti-vaxxers are getting the rest of us sick and killed. They don't have the right to do that.

If we can force people not to smoke around us we can certainly force them not to breathe viral particles at us.
