I'm confused because I think typically a person would consider implying an article or perhaps a piece of code is useless would be an extremely dismissive move. Do you think it is unreasonable for me to imply you are being dismissive w

I think you're biased because you're dismissing this article without any evidence. I encourage you to post some research about the topic. As for the gender studies grant comment, do you have any evidence to suggest that the auth

I encourage you to do some quantifiable analysis that you judge to be free from bias and see if you get a different result. You seem to be immediately dismissing this analysis as not useful, while only providing anecdotal evidence and quest

The idea that you trust your judgement on the magazine ratio is probably one of the reasons that this analysis is useful. Are you sure that you aren't just biased against noticing men's magazines? Or perhaps there are a lot of m

You say they "don't seem" to have experienced attacks. I'm assuming then you haven't asked them directly what kind of negative experiences they have had? Try it out!

I wonder then if you're suggesting that all discussions about the observation of impure intentions should be stopped? Did anti-universal-sufferage feel they were being accused of having impure intentions when they put forth their reas

Your first impulse may have been to deny that this happens. Ask yourself, have you asked and then truly listened to your female friends and colleagues if they have ever experienced this before? Please make the effort and gather some anecd

Is it just me or is this expose surprisingly low on American citizens? Is this one of the times when conspiracy theory could be conspiracy fact? It feels like this is an extremely selective release.

Can you observe the truth of the statement: "Truth from observation is the only truth that matters." Where can I also observe this?

Interesting. What test do you propose to determine whether it is arbitrary and meaningless?

I wasn't forced and I found CTCs to be interesting. The time travel discussions were all interesting, but to me they don't feel like philosophy.

by tomlock 11y ago
Well, yeah, in my initial comment I said that there are a lot of analytical philosophers that have an understanding of physics. But, I think that CTCs are better suited as an undergraduate physics topic than an undergraduate philosophy one

by tomlock 11y ago
What I was talking about in that quote is that CTCs are definitely being seriously talked about and explored in relation to tested elements of our understanding of the universe by theoretical physicists, the experts in physics, and so I thi

I found Kant to be easier than Descartes and Heidegger to be by far the hardest to read of all. Hegel has for me been somewhere between Descartes and Heidegger, but I think its no surprise that Zizek was a Hegelian and also read a bunch of

There is a fair overlap between the analytic-philosophy community and physicists and mathematicians. So the analytic community generally doesn't talk out of its arse about these things. I'm from the other side of philosophy, the

I don't know what women you've been talking to, but any woman that's been on the internet in the last 15 years has seen enough dick pics that they probably won't care if they see another penis.

The author seems to reminisce about a time when universities were pure outlets of free thought. At that time women were vastly outnumbered by men in universities. The time when universities were pure and free for everyone exists only in t

Pure environmental factors for poverty won't necessarily be temporary, since land might just be infertile for thousands of years. I think that poverty is within human control in the same way that cancer is. Cancer has always been arou

I'm confused when you say the syntactic differences between the two are slight, and then follow it up with "but all the jobs are in Python2". If the syntax differences really are that slight, wouldn't the type of python

Its probably fair to say that intellectual skepticism could be leading to doubt here. However, couldn't it also be that the historical understanding that every generation has fears about the state of the next and how they spend their

I think no generation has really seen their criticism of the new generation as "kids these days" prejudice. If they did think that, they wouldn't say the words with such conviction. But, that is kinda what it looks like, ri
