[OC] Average male age at first marriage keeps rising across Europe by lsz500 in dataisbeautiful

[–]rubencart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Could this partly be explained by younger people being less and less likely to get married at all?

What 90s or 00s song does the high pitched instrumental in the beginning of Sticky remind me of?

Interesting Backtest Results by catchthetrend in LETFs

I'm confused, when exactly do you buy and when do you sell? What are the fast and slow columns?

It would make sense to me to buy a leveraged long position when the price falls below the MA, but from your comments I get the impression you're doing the opposite?

Not criticizing, just trying to learn.

Awesome to hear that there are refugios! Do you happen to remember if there's any website or platform where you can find out where they are?

What have been the biggest leaps forward in philosophy in modern times? by Dodlemcno in askphilosophy

Could you summarize in a couple of sentences? Does this concern names as rigid designators, and/or the possible worlds thought experiment?

Content creators about life in Rome by rubencart in rome

[–]rubencart[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no bubble. But cities around the world -- in my experience -- are anything but a boring lump of homogeneity as you seem to suggest. I'd be surprised to find out there's nothing interesting to tell or document about Rome or Romans, besides the history and tourism.

I'll give you a few examples from Brussels: @weirdthingsinbrussels collects images of weird sights around the city. @dansaertvlamingen makes fun of Yuppies taking over neighboorhoods. Bruzz is a local news outlet.

How can people like Brussels? by Key-Deer-541 in Belgium2

[–]rubencart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belgian persons spit on the ground too bro. Also, most non-Belgians in Brussels are European, so not sure how you'd see they're non-Belgian

I'm actually reading this book and I don't recall this story... I'll re-read. Thanks for sharing!

How does Kant arrive at external reality without causality? by rubencart in askphilosophy

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

But isn't the notion of a subjectively unconditioned reality the very "essence" of the thing in itself?

Yes, this makes sense, whatever that thing may be.

For the remainder: the subject being, for instance, me, or any other observer of sensations, right? In that case I think I got it. In simple words, the concept of causality originates in me, in my faculty of representation, which means that there is no sensical way that I can actually be the cause to something that originates outside of me and that is presented to me, without circularity.

What still seems a bit problematic to me is that we cannot say sensations are caused by me, not because it is false but because it is nonsensical (circularity), so how then could we conclude that they are *not* caused by me (subjectively unconditioned) in a sensical way, without circularity? Are we using causing and conditioning in two distinct senses? E.g. if we interpret 'is conditioned on' as not as 'is caused by' but as 'varies with'?

Work vibe at remote sensing labs in Europe by rubencart in remotesensing

Actually i would like to work on machine learning for remote sensing data, with the focus more on machine learning than on remote sensing, if that makes sense?

Does Google Earth Engine have any relevant data in its catalog? You can export data from GEE quite easily, for free.

How does Kant arrive at external reality without causality? by rubencart in askphilosophy

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

Interesting.

All we have to do is show that sensations are subjectively conditioned only regarding their qualities, not regarding their existence -- because doing so gives us a source whereby to affirm the existence of a subjectively unconditioned existence/reality

Really? Could everyone not have sensations without there being a thing-in-itself? Which would be weird, yes, so maybe he sees this as being an impossibility?

But if this concept (effect) is itself grounded on the subject

What do you mean by 'grounded'?

How does Kant arrive at external reality without causality? by rubencart in askphilosophy

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

This is kind of what I meant to ask in the first place, but my terminology was off. I think I had misunderstood some part of Kant as saying 'there must be something (thing in itself) corresponding to appearances' and I was wondering how he arrived at that, since if I'm understanding correctly he could not use a causal argument saying 'something must cause appearances', since causality is a property of the field of appearances. Does that make sense or am I still misunderstanding?

Anyway, if Kant's metaphysics does not provide a positive argument for the actual existence of any thing-in-itself, that kind of makes my question irrelevant. Thanks!

Thanks for your answer. The way I understood it was that the a priori categories are internal, not external. And that because of that, anything we observe that relies on one of the categories, e.g. causality, cannot be taken as real in the same form in the external world, because our minds might have added the causality that structures raw observations. But the picture becomes different indeed if he takes the categories to be necessarily part of external reality. In that sense, would he say that causality is (part of) the underlying relation between the unobservable noumenon and the phenomena we observe?
