  • Is velocity a true physical quantity?
    How does the position of a particle change? — Hermeticus

    It depends on the force acting on it.
  • Is velocity a true physical quantity?
    I've given you the answer. What you do with it is up to you. — Banno

    I could have given that answer myself. Every velocity is an average one.

    ↪Hermeticus


    Velocity is measurement of two positions. The positions of particles change. But that goes hand in hand with two different times. But which of the two is fundamental?
  • What is a Fact?
    Hence the need for strong empirical data (hard facts) to establish the truth, in my view. — Olivier5

    Dunno. How will you establish quantum fields and the beginning of the big bang (inflation)?

    Wow! What a painting!

    A differential is a difference too.

    anticipation — Joshs

    It's not all about that. It's just a small part of us (or animals).
  • What are you chasing after with philosophy?
    If you have any complaints, please contact: The Manager, Mr. Life — TheMadFool

    I think you should contact him. Being a mad fool that should be no problem. Mr. Life is mad and foolish. But very interesting and beautiful on top.
  • Against Stupidity
    We only view others’ reasons as irrational when we fail to recognize the nature of sense-making. — Joshs

    Exactly. There are different sense-makings. One(wo)man's sense is the other's non-sense. Regardless of the "normative cogntive-affective aims".
  • What are you chasing after with philosophy?
    truth is bitter and we tell ourselves fantastical tales to keep us from learning the ugly truth. — TheMadFool

    The same cynism... I'll nibble somewhere else...
  • What is depth?
    There is no depth. Only surface. Maybe depth in vision.
  • What is a Fact?
    What's a fact? It's a fact that many suffer from some kind of psychosis here! Is that really a question in philosophy? What wrong road was taken on the philosophical paths?
  • Anti-Vaxxers, Creationists, 9/11 Truthers, Climate Deniers, Flat-Earthers
    Wormy people like you — Xtrix

    Are you serious?
  • Is reincarnation inevitable?
    I hope not, no thanks. — RAW

    Is life that bad for you?
  • You are not your body!
    For example, when discussing physics, we're not interested in simply defining what "work" or "heat" mean out in space, so to speak.

    What do you mean?
  • What are you chasing after with philosophy?
    I thought the idea was to exchange an ordinary cage for a gilded cage or to arrange to be transferred from a small cell to a larger cell, with a view of the courtyard if possible, a cell nonetheless. — TheMadFool

    That's a dark cynical thought. The whole universe is a cage like that.
  • Against Stupidity
    irrationality against reason.” — Joshs

    One (wo)man's reason is the other's madness or stupidity. Same for rationality. Irrationality can be reasonable. Ratio can be unreasonable. Rationality merely means that you can give reasons. Which can be stupid for some and sane for others.
