No pretense at originality or individualism. 1 big cult.

Also there is no excuse to be unprepared for Trump.

It is hard to believe just how insidious and invidious and destructive and unopposed they are.…[Read more]

Not quite what she is proposing. It’s a de-Palestinianism project. If Hamas disappears it is gonna be replaced with the next Jew hating ideology insistent on eliminating the Jewish state. (She is proposing a lot more than that.)

Einat acknowledges inspiratio for what USA did post WW11 with respect to Japan and Germany. She never said it…[Read more]

What can be done ultimately is to stick the Palestinians in a different river. Nothing will change as long as their culture is bankrupt. Stop using Nazi, Lefty, Islamic hate indoctrination. Easy peezy lemony squeezy. Substitute a death…[Read more]

You are correct Einat is superb in terms of exposing Palestinianism. Top cat toppa.

Dissenters in Gaza are silent because Gaza is in effect totalitarian. You don’t open your mouth to Stalin or Kim Jong or fill in the blank unless ya wanna die.

The zones Einat is proposing do not have to be divided along ideological differentiation.…[Read more]

I think what you are really saying is it would be better if orthodox everything were not orthodox anything. For sure. Cant put em in reeducation camps so the stupidity flows and recirculates generation after generation.

Leave em alone though? I don’t know man. In Israel at least…[Read more]

Not just outside the box.

You pseudobulbarred me. There goes my uncontrollable echolalia.

I ordered her book on the Muslim Brotherhood. So you can expect an explanation if she gives one.

If the Orthodox don’t want to fight or be in the IDF it might be that they consider themselves above the fray. Entitled. Privileged. Deluded in thinking their role is important…[Read more]

As to its prevalence i think it is not common but beyond exigent circumstances like the Donner Party, Communist Revolution in China and i am sure many others it has been practiced ritualistically. New Guinea for sure. I think i read Commanches did. And some South American…[Read more]

Cannibalism is ok as long as you eat the liver with fava beans and a good chianti.

Good thing a wide swathe of ideologues won’t judge cuz cultures are relative and the hell with the victims. They just shuffled the deck and some end in the relative out-house of cultures. Besides they make up for it and put Israel on a pedestal so that their…[Read more]

can philosophy become more scientific without confusing logical certainty with empirical truth?

I would not go near AI to help me with philosophy, beyond a Google search result.  But if people do want to use it, I can see uses for it – checking reasoning, for example.

I think there should be two tasks, done by…[Read more]

Three members of Muslim Brotherhood are breaking bread and regaling each other with tales of their recent exploits.

That’s an interesting way of looking at it.  Michael Tomasello, for example, is someone who does a lot of philosophy referring to a lot of experimental results.  That’s why I trust his ideas enough to give them the time o…[Read more]

Atheism, n. The refusal to surrender one’s sense of humor to an imaginary audience.

Canada’s religious revival that never came to be. The study shows that cultural religious identity can persist long after active religious participation declines.

Does secularization represent increasing rationality, or can it simply involve replacing…[Read more]

“This place sure gone crazy!”

The jew hating frenzy is indicative of a very fucked up world. Perhaps it is cuz when scapegoating is at its nadir or zenith depending on perspective that is when the greatest social upheavals are fueled by rage. Human nature when shit goes south to seek someone or something to blame. Ya see…[Read more]

You can tell us what it is like to be you. How much differently you feel after someone you love dies, after your bet loses, been informed you have a horrible disease, your friend is getting married. But you can’t tell what is like to be another human any better than an lLM. If anything LLM’s are better situated to do so. They interact…[Read more]

Here is the one part i take exception. “They cannot, by themselves, tell us whether those answers are well founded, ethically defensible, historically informed, or rhetorically misleading.”

Based on query i fed Meta about William Lane Craig debate i suspect it is a fait accompli. And why not. It is just reasoning.

Will artificial intelligence change how philosophy is conducted?

I don’t believe that AI could ever do moral philosophy.  The moral philosophy that I do is descriptive (the only valid kind) and to do that, a person needs to know what it’s like to be a human being.

On top of that, why would we ever want AI to do our…[Read more]

Rutgers. This is my gun, this if for fun on the brain? Rutgers it is. Can’t refer to the misspelling as a typo since it is a missing character. Failure of compression omission.

You popped my explanadum/explanans cherry. How did i never encounter this for 63 miserable years? What else is lurking in the shadows?

The joinable tribe take shows how ridiculous it is when a definition is necessary to clarify after the shitstorm of conflation and ignominy that no other people endure.
