What is reasoning, really? Does the internal operations of "artificial" systems necessarily differ the (automatic) processes of our own mind? And how do we know that we're _really_ reasoning? I don't suffer under some il

My point is that there may not be an obvious hack for complicated issues like depression. I don’t have absolute faith in professionals; Don’t know what gave you that idea. I’m saying they’re better than the alternatives, and that expertise

Doesn't this line of thinking break down from the fact that you can replace the religious concepts with litteraly anything else you can dream up, as you don't really demand any evidence or even a cogent argument from the answers t

That doesn't necessarily mean it's reasonable to be suspicious towards an entire ethnic group. Not many Uyghurs support violence, and not all Uyghurs are separatists.

What's really "enough RAM & CPU cycles"? I think one can argue that this is really offloading development cost as a a resource cost onto the users - who must run "native", inefficient applications. This means no

Serious question: Why do so many people think building desktop application GUIs with web-technologies is a good idea? I'm currently trying to formulate some thoughts on this; While I understand that HTML/CSS generally seems more f

As a person who might point out a fallacious argument on the internet, what do you see as a more useful alternative? From my perspective it's not so much about the structure of a debate as it is about excluding that which is not true -

How does one formulate what constitutes a correct response to discovering a fallacy in an argument? I know the conclusion isn't necessarily false, but I also have no reason for assuming it to be true - since there is no good argument t
