I'm assuming that we are all expected to remain within our individual discussions with Pigliucci too? While I'd definitely like to look in on the others I don't want them to worry about me infringing upon their direct time with the Professor, but if we feel one of our counterparts raises a point with Pigliucci that is relavent to our own discussions; can we quote one another within our own threads? — Mark Dennis
I'm a bit hesitant about that being OK by itself, I think it would be OK so long as the quoted bit is contextualised explicitly by you in your discussion. — fdrake
I think there will be separate forum wide threads for each discussion with the guest. — fdrake
That just means whoever wants to start a discussion on that can do so somewhere else in the forum. — Baden
All the questions had good points and bad points, but some were somehow imbalanced and / or unanswerable; some had the questions too deeply buried, under too many layers of pre-explanations, is the feeling I got from them. — god must be atheist
I know it's not my place to say, it's not my forum, but if there's a desire to attract involvement from serious academics then somehow (and I understand it's a lot of work) there's going to need to be more control over post quality. — Isaac
or anyone wants to help increase quality, please flag discussions you feel are unworthy of the place. — Baden
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
