Since you're joining in on the conversation, can you tell me if anything I'm saying makes sense to you? — keystone
As I mentioned before, the metric between ordered pairs (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is defined as follows: d((x1,y1),(x2,y2)) = | (x1+y1)/2 - (x2+y2)/2 | — keystone
Step two entails describing these intervals within the framework of a topological metric space. — keystone
More like a inspiration to get peoples own ideas going — Elnathan
The math doesn't identify any particular stopping point, but it does imply there has to be one. — Relativist
However: the kinematic process never actually reaches time 1 — Relativist
By definition, a limit is not reached, — Relativist
However, the clock does reach 1. At time 1, the stairway descent must have ended — Relativist
I would say they were very intelligent. — isomorph
?a thinking capacity equal to ours, maybe greater than ours
Our prehistorical ancestors had thinking capacity equal to ours, maybe greater than ours, and this can be seen in prehistoric cave art created by intellectual masters. — isomorph
So there's just no paradox. There is only taking perfectly well-understood mathematical facts and dressing them up with physics-contradicting staircases and lightbulbs so as to confuse people. — fishfry
I decided that I will contact the philosophy professor at the local college and ask him if he can be my mentor. — Fermin
How might all these dynamics interact? — Benj96
While they may not regard him as The Messiah the do believe his is a messiah and like all messiahs persecuted by the enemies of God. — Fooloso4
The only problem with this type of exercise is that the dog does a lot of sniffing and we don't move very fast — Agree-to-Disagree
**Description**: Apply ethical theories to real-world scenarios. Discuss topics like environmental ethics, personal and social justice, and personal and social responsibility.
- **Age Appropriateness**: Middle schoolers are forming their identities and need guidance on ethical decision-making. — Lif3r
But I have not found a single one who will even respond to any question as to anyone who should not have a gun. — tim wood
Can a brutha get an AMEN?! :sweat: :up: — 180 Proof
I'm proceeding with the assumption A.I. will be overtaking the task of heavy lifting re: thought. I'm rooting for S.A.I. in our lifetimes to run up cognitive yardage pushing past what human can imagine. Wittgenstein has directed our attention towards "the silence," conjecture unimaginable. Its nigh time for The Oracle: SAI to start sending us revelations from Wittgenstein's principled imagination silenced. We won't understand but a fraction of the import of the messages, but we'll get pushed to our utter limitations before being back-numbered into the subordinate section of the evolution hierarchy. — ucarr
If you take pi or the golden ratio or eulers number for example, eventually it will detail your entire genetic sequence from start to finish — Benj96
Agreed. But that philosophy should be provided by the scientists. — jgill
Any bumper sticker you can provide for why? It seems odd to me. Like saying hydrologists need provide the engineering know-how for hydro-dams. — AmadeusD
Useful for those who are not too lazy to be staring at Truth tables — Banno
I would like to have a discussion with Corvus about if the logic used here is actually logical, or if it is perhaps fallacious — flannel jesus
I do not think the complete scientific method can exist without philosophy — Philosophim
Maybe it's a stretch, but I think metaphysics as the grammar or rules of procedure offers suggestions as to how methodology might evolve. — ucarr
I initially expected better of this type of forum, but politics gonna politic i guess — AmadeusD
