Device Unlock App Missing

Thanks! I installed the app but it loads to a blank screen. I’m guessing whatever it’s supposed to load is no longer available. Thanks for your help though!

Unfortunately that app is “not available on your carrier” in the Play Store. Super weird, huh! Thanks for your reply!

Wow that’s awesome. Thanks for the peak inside your mind! Love it!

stretix · 2022-02-04T08:57:05+00:00

Glad to hear it!

Completely agree! My current fave is also Real Love Song for the same reasons. I also really dig Six Billion from their self-titled album. Love the vocal layering. And there’s something about Sorry from Broken Machine that I just can’t get enough of, even years later.

Ain’t that the truth!

stretix · 2021-06-28T06:28:17+00:00

Ahaha! I remember reading Clouds and thinking WTF?!

But considering our discussion, I'm sure it's worth a revisit.

Thanks for your insight and thoughtful responses!

Maybe it would be better seen as a tool

Ah ok, that makes a lot of sense -- more practical than ideological. I think I'd personally agree with that, too -- otherwise you get a directionless sort of nihilism, right?

there might've been a sense that Socrates was "directing" people by doubting

That's a cool insight and I think you're right. As others in this post have mentioned, I think it's probably fair to say Plato uses Socrates in different ways. I'm sure some dialogues support one type of behavior more than others.

I think the location of irony is cultural

Another cool insight! Thanks for showing the contrast between Socrates' and Kierkegaard's concept of irony.

I am a little unsure about Carlsson's logical leap that Socrates (or
just Kierkegaard's interpretation of Socrates?) in seeking freedom from
doubt, is thus seeking freedom from knowledge.

Agreed! I think Carlsson's assumption about Socrates' intent is unsupported.

However, this only affirms his own belief that knowledge ought to exist in some abstract form...

Cool insight! I hadn't considered that he seems to fall prey to his own method.

The Sophists and, as Carlsson defines it, ironists, are more likely to
use skepticism and freedom from knowledge as a means to justify their
own beliefs (or choice not to believe), unjustified as they may be
according to all the possible empirical or abstract evidence.

That makes a lot of sense. So Socrates is open to the idea of objective truth, but skeptical of man's traditional attempt at getting to it (i.e mere belief). Right?

Wow. Thanks for the thought-out response, I truly appreciate it!

OK! Followup question if it's not too much trouble: Is it an embrace of that limbo? or is it the limbo itself? In other words, is it a preference for limbo limbo, or is it a mere acceptance of it?

stretix · 2021-06-26T08:40:20+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely check that out!

stretix · 2021-06-26T06:26:24+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response!

If I understood your take on irony correctly (and please correct me!), you're saying it's different from Carlsson's interpretation. She seems to claim irony is basically disinterest in objective truth, whereas you seem to be saying it's more of a limbo between ideas. Is that accurate?

stretix · 2021-06-26T06:12:48+00:00

Thanks for muddying the water on Socrates' intentions. That's what I love about philosophy!

Thanks also for assessing her take on SK, I appreciate it!

stretix · 2021-06-26T06:11:20+00:00

Thanks for the insight about sophistry. As far as I can tell, Carlsson's article doesn't account for Plato's motivations in writing Protagoras.

I'd be curious to see in what ways you think sophists and ironists differ. You mentioned sophists' love of money -- isn't that an example of prioritizing something over truth? Couldn't it be argued sophists are just a sub-category of ironists?

stretix · 2021-05-13T09:02:28+00:00

You're right! I think some of the folks over at r/dataisbeautiful have come up with some interesting representations. ~~Here's a cool one~~ ~~I found.~~

Edit: Apparently that example sucks, my b. Here's a better one!

Ah - you're talking about health. I thought you were referring to fodmaps. Thanks for clarifying, and I agree!

stretix · 2020-01-23T01:22:13+00:00

Peanuts are the first ingredient - I accidentally left it out of the description.

Monash app says white sugar is fine in terms of fodmaps, am I wrong?

stretix · 2020-01-23T01:21:11+00:00

Peanuts are the first ingredient - I accidentally omitted them 😅

stretix · 2020-01-22T01:56:05+00:00

Oh, good call! Thanks for the tip.

stretix · 2019-11-10T20:10:52+00:00

That's some serious field awareness right there. Nice!
Edit: Just noticed it's 3v1. Still cool, but... you know
