A universal triangle is simply the resemblance of any particular triangle to any other triangle. The resemblance consists of a set of properties common to all objects of a given kind/type i.e. in what way, for instance, is one specific circle like any other circle. In short, as I said before, resemblance and universal are the same thing.

Evil is not something that needs a definition, oui mes amies?

Interesting!

As you can see it's not easy to answer the question. Only very general statements can be made, oui monsieur?

As much as I appreciate you, Smith, you should probably stop posting irrelevant one-offs and non-sequiturs. — ToothyMaw

Okie dokie!

I would like to begin my day by 1^st checking my ... pyjamas?

Arrêter! Bugger off to Deep Songs. This post will now self-destruct — Amity

Most interesting. — Ms. Marple

Socrates used logic but was not rational in the sense that he was often challenging the basic ideas of Athenian society. It is fundamentally irrational to do something that can get you killed. — introbert

Right you are amigo! Socrates was irrational but logical, si? Care to expand on the difference between the two?

What? You need to be less cryptic. — universeness

:cool: Why not? Well, I can think of a number of reasons not to sing e.g. if I'm hiding from a lion.

A hunch or my opinion.
I didn't short you on the philosophic details. They're in my previous comments.

If psychiatry has a good working understanding of what information is or theories of mental content in psychosis cases then what are they? — Mark Nyquist

Psychosis is good in my humble opinion. We should all be given an opportunity to taste from the pool of madness! Please kindly refer to the safety manual before you do though.

Why not? You might convince me I am wrong, but you need to be in it to win it! — universeness

I have reorganized something in my brain; you're feelin' the effects.

Never mind reality. Sing 'Is that all there is?' by Peggy Lee. — Amity

Why? :snicker:

That's good advice mon ami, but I've heard it being said before. It goes into me toolkit! Oh, it's already there - as new as the first time I put it there! Awesome!

The face of truth! A magnificent title as far as I'm concerned.

Danke! It just dawned on me that I haven't the foggiest about what's going on. Is this the way it's supposed to be? :chin:

Allahu Akbar? :snicker:

Jokes aside, I'd say we reexamine the evidence carefully, thoroughly, and then ...

But famines can kill millions who didn’t want to die. Suicide is a minority pastime. So that’s a false equivalence to draw. — apokrisis

How does f cause g?

Justice ... what's that?

The God of geometry/space then?

The persistence of gods even in the age of information (explosion) implies that we've good reasons to continue believing in gods. What are these reasons, pray tell.

Good call!

May your offspring floruit like, as they say, nobody's business!

Name (of the space god)?

It's amazing that the government doesn't affect the people, at least not as much as it should given our concern, oui mes amies?

Poetic license, is it like a license to kill?

Ex mea sententia the madhyamaka (the middle way) is the crux, the heart and soul, of Buddhism and anything in/outside it that contradicts the madhyamaka doctrine is, hasta be, false.

His relationship to Madame Truth is conflictual. It seems to be about beating her into submission. — Olivier5

In war, truth is the first casualty. — Aeschylus

Hats off to you sir/madam as the case may be. There's a god of time (the filicidal Cronus), but I haven't heard of a god of space. Is there one?

As I noted previously, I find this affectation annoying. — T Clark

Apolpgies.

Rationality can get you killed (vide Socrates, death by hemlock).

A different kinda argument - an old trick in the book, but still quite effective.

How you know they don't?

Come one man, we're both to old for that nonsense. Of course they exist — Darkneos

What nonsense? It's the natural endpoint of suspicion/doubt. If you get on a slide, you're bound to reach the bottom, oui?

Is there any difference between how one begins one's day in the medieval age and in the modern age? As far as I can tell toilette and a good breakfast was common to both eras, but then after that ...

Yep. But see how Benj entirely misses the point?

Benj's approach is making stuff up instead of working stuff out. There's not much point in further comment. — Banno

Ok. Truth, what are its implications?

Your comment said that my OP wishes to make a distinction between a universal and a resemblance relation when I in fact question that such a distinction exists — litewave

I thought I did clarify my views on that score. The two concepts - universal & resemblance - are, how shall I put it?, not mutually exclusive. In fact the former seems to arise from the latter in a most exotic manner.

Dear Australian brother, I have a feeling it's about Fitch's paradox of knowability (there was a thread on that about 6 moons ago).

The issue can be exemplified with the statement "aliens exist" (status: unknown)
