My point is that EG doesn't say that GR is true or false. EG makes no statements about GR's truth or falsehood, so it isn't correct to say, "GR ain't true to those of us in EG". It would be correct to say, "EG can not determine the truth or falsehood of GR." | |

We've hit bottom when you both need to explain a point I fully understood and then need to point out what was wrong with a point I was visibly throwing in the trash. | |

Are they? I remember asking my chemistry professor: "Is a hydrogen electron, which the atom shares with oxygen to make h2o, a general electron or a hydrogen-specific one?" And he said hydrogen-specific. So if what he told me is true, wouldn't that mean all electrons aren't the same? |

I wrote and deleted a lot of posts. Plato's effectively the flagship of the idea of perfection in value philosophy (IE: ethics and aesthetics), if for no other reason because of the logistics surrounding the Library of Alexandria. | |

On a semi-related note, Aristotle is the real sack of shit. A great quote from an incredible article on Galileo that shows how Aristotelianism was basically just an intellectually glorified religion: | |

Thank you so much for the response. This stuff is super fascinating. I'm an anthropologist, sociologist, and philosopher at heart. |

Don't blame Aristotle, blame those who unwittingly espoused Platonism and called Aristotle a god. Aristotle brought inductive logic to the world, but the empires that came after him treated his arguments deductively. It was only until Francis Bacon that Aristotle lost his god status. He told the world to wake the fuck up and stop claiming that everything is Aristotle. Biblical fundamentalism is little different than Aristotelianism. Both Jesus and Aristotle said some true things, and both have been converted into infallible gods. |

From what I understand, humans have existed in their current form for at least 25,000 years (by the most modest estimates), and probably a lot longer. As such, I doubt Plato and Aristotle were the first people to think such thoughts. | |

Well yes, attributing causality is, well, specious. I do so for brow-furrowing. |

BTW I want to say that I'm sorry if you find frustration in the points I make. I am super tricky with my logic. I don't know if my premises can be countered, but I assume they can be. So if you think something I say is bullshit, be sure to point the fuck out of it. The more syllogistic and sound your assertion, the more I will need to reevaluate my premise. A long time ago I developed a reputation on this forum for being an incorrigible debater, but the truth is that I'm a debater for the purpose of truth dissection. I have no problem with being wrong, or really wrong. Wrongness is the seed that bears the fruit of rightness. |

So is the US government really going into shutdown over obamacare? | |

It is far more damaging to most House Republicans to be seen voting for Obamacare than to shut down the government. They're afraid of primaries, not the general elections |

Also, they really want to delay implementation to time perfectly with the 2014 elections |

I don't know... It seems like we hired them to do a job, and they shut down the company 'cause they didn't like the company's procedural rules. All the while, they have a ability/responsibility to create and change the rules, so it's pretty much a no-brainer when they can't even follow their own rules that they're incompetent. | |

A couple times, Windows 7's explorer.exe has crashed on me recently and restarted, as in the desktop and task bar reloaded. Reminded me of Windows 98/2000/XP days, and made me glad that Microsoft has a sense of tradition. | |

I just... I don't get it. I use public restrooms too, and I have lived with small children who are inconsiderate pricks and piss on the seat-- When I need to defecate, I too must sit on the seat. However, I never would ever dream of sitting on any toilet seat without giving it at least a quick glance first. The seedier the place, the closer the inspection. | |
