• Missing features, bugs, questions about how to do stuff


    I think numbering posts would be nice. Sometimes the conversation gets convoluted, and being able to reference a post verbally helps in untangling the confusions. [though the link-back feature is something I had mentioned at PF as helpful, so it's cool to see that here]
  • Exactly what do you understand as 'Woo'?
    I tend to think of woo as a commercial enterprise.

    So, if Grandma is telling me that the horoscope really works, then I don't count that. But if you're trying to sell my crystals for my cancer which Big Pharma has been covering up because of how cheap it is, then that would.
  • Why be moral?
    I'm not sure about your criteria here. It seems to me that behavior is obviously influenced by belief more than truth -- but that does not then mean that even regular, as opposed to moral, statements are not true or false.

    Similarly, our behavior will be influenced by beliefs about morality. But this does not then entail that our beliefs are or are not truth-apt.

    Though, perhaps in a round-about away, our meta-ethical beliefs could influence behavior -- whether they, themselves, are true or no, too.

    It seems to me that the primary difference between the three worlds is:

    1. Moral statements, theories, and beliefs are not truth-apt
    2. Moral statements, theories, and beliefs are truth-apt.
    3. Same as 2


    If we want to simplify, anyways. I'm not sure that I really like the truth-apt statement approach anymore to meta-ethics. It just seems to miss the point.
  • Help me test
    Hey -- that "Drafts" feature is pretty cool tho. I've lost posts before. Having that save in "real time" is pretty nice.
  • Welcome PF members!
    I'll admit that I get pleasure from the old bulletin board format, but I'm pretty much cool with anything that keeps the group together -- since that was the primary reason for me participating at PF.
