Wow, so on top of not having ever read Descartes and feeling the gaul to comment on it, on top of not knowing how to use logic, you also don't know how time works? If you scroll up, you will see I requested that you translate my phrase before you deflected with that "question" of yours. — Lionino
Further conversation becomes like a child hitting the dog's cage with a stick. It will bark and growl back at you; fun, but progress will not be made. — Banno
For some reason unknown to us, he is not able to take on new information. — Banno
How time works? — Corvus
you keep running away from the question with smoky gibberish — Corvus
I have been away all day, and just returned to see your message to me. I have no clue what you were talking about on how time works. But I will catch them up when I have some spare time.You see, the number in the bottom left corner shows whether a message came up after or before. — Lionino
When I asked you about the If Red Light then Drive logic for your agree or disagreement on it, you said it was order, not Logic. It is a logic. It gave the impression that you were trying to avoid the answer.I did not run away all the times you posted nonsense, in fact I refuted you several times. And I refuted you again, your rendition of Descartes is wrong. Make some effort to actually read what he wrote. — Lionino

The positivists were right. Philosophy is nonsense. We should all learn coding instead. — Lionino
Yes, "drive away if there is a red light" is an order (drive away) with a conditional (if there is), it has nothing to do with statements of the type p→q. It is a bad example. Choose another one. — Lionino

Again, he has no clue what he is talking about, ever. — Lionino
‘If A then B’ means that if A is true then so is B. So we know that if the
antecedent A is true but the consequent B is false, then the conditional ‘If
A then B’ is false. What is the truth value of ‘If A then B’ under other
circumstances? Suppose, for instance, that the antecedent A happened to be
false. ‘If A then B’ would then not tell us anything about the actual truth value of the consequent B
What do you think it means? — Corvus
I think that's a fantastic example of implication to look at. — flannel jesus
If Jack bet on Eclipse, then Jack lost his money. Jack did not bet on
Eclipse. So Jack did not lose his money.
That's another horrible fallacy (traditionally called denying the antecedent).
Translating and running a truth-table test confirms this.
But why do you talk about the Bio, in the middle of talking about order and logic? It would help in understanding, if you let us know what you think it means.I don't think it means anything. I know what it means. And it is not what you were thinking. — Lionino
Mentioning about Banno or the other folks in the discussion won't help for clarification on the point.I have tried that a thousand times already with "If it rains, the floor is wet". Banno also. It is pointless. — Lionino
But why do you talk about the Bio, in the middle of talking about order and logic? — Corvus
This is the first time I am reading you talking about it. — Corvus
I still cannot see any relevance of my Bio to this thread and what we have been discussing. Something other than what I meant? How do you know what I meant? :)Because your bio says something other than what you meant. If anything, it means something funny. — Lionino
I did discuss the argument case with Banno, but never with yourself.Another case of selective amensia in this thread. — Lionino
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.
