Linguistics do not determine reality... except feeding back on it by impacting our understanding of it
Which is why I'm a linguistic trivialist...
You can call X true of false, it changes nothing about X'ness. It changes your sense of X
Metaphysical trivialism... I might be less willing to jump on board
Since I could only explain that with the phenomenon is a output of the contradictory...
Or thing in itself is nothing. X + not X = object...
I am unwilling to commit to that. Since it's mere possibility
Propositions are non physical <:MonkaS:643820797605183488>
dualism is cringe
@Deleted User It's not a contradiction if it is the case there is a fact of the matter
So it's like saying ... I believe there's a galaxy a thousand light years away
There is a fact of the matter there
Despite not having a referent on hand...
So you're proper or correct in believing it
@LustrousMandrill A meinongian
If you can reference it, it necessarily exists, but not in the same sense
So you equivocating "exist" or "existence"
But I don't particularly care
@Deleted User do you believe there are physical properties but not not physical substances?
@Deleted User How do you know other things are non mental?
Substance is a red herring, the substance is irrelevant if you ask me
Can't know the thing-in-itself, no way to demonstrate things without relations, blah blah
Leads to you shouldn't speak about a substance... aside that there is something
I'm insanely triggered by the disbelief in ...
Holism or unity of all things though
You necessarily must make a trivial statement for axiom...
Like the law of identity
It's a trivial statement
For any and every X, X = X
So it seems like to excise the most semantics, it follows that you say
For any and every X, they are (semantic placeholder) [idea, physical...] yada yada
So that you maintain consistency
Physicalism = naturalism = etc
The laws of gravity is a name... it's a principle for another thing... a sense and understanding of things about the world... all of which is physical
A name is physical...
I am a very angry impatient individual
So there's no world where I extend charity to Solo past about ... 3 questions
And he didn't answer question 1
Jews overrepresented
@Deleted User There is some polling that implies women were happier about 30-40 years ago
But I don't want to link it for the idea that...
I don't want to provide evidence for someone I dislike and corroborate some of their claim
How anti-intellectual of you
It's not anti-intellectual per se. I have the article open on hand. I just don't know the intent / goal of this discourse
To shit on the nazi. Or to get get at truth (or truthlikeness)
Verisimilitude
I literally have the article open
