I found this amusing as Prager is at Oxford to embarrass the brain dead students. UAE knows of what it speaks.

How is this for an unforseeable development if we were to look back just a few years?

Unholy alliance between Islam and the far left has resulted in an Islamic nation being unwilling to pay for its own to attend British schools because they are too…[Read more]

The link works. I have a full NYT sub so can share 10 stories per month. I was on the phone with a friend in Zaporizhzhia a few nights ago. We had drones and gunfire for almost all of the call.

The Gettier Problem: True Justified Belief without Knowledge.

Again, I think the problem with True Justified Belief is the statement, I am factually justified.  To know I am factually justified, I must know that my belief is true, yet I use this justification as proof that the belief is true.  I justify the truth o…[Read more]

From AI Welfare to AI Warfare. This is a great read.                                 .

Yeah Enco,

So it is perhaps a message to Iranians that they aint kidding around and will invade unless… And it also suggests coupled with the bombing of…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone!

First Venezuela.

Next Mexico and Cuba. Hell just take over South and Central America. Bunch of shithole countries. Murica is expanding. Canada is too cold unless and until we need it.

And why not legalize slavery again? Why should the Arab/Muslims have all of the fun?

Trumpistan and Trump is the man who can. All hail Trump.

@regthefronkeyfarmer – but I never said the truth had to be justified – just “true”.  Anyway I like your definition of understanding better – understanding the factors that make something happen, and everything has a causative structure.

I understand that the concept of truth is not simple and is hard to define precisely.  If something is l…[Read more]

@Simon – Understanding is true belief. False beliefs are either redundant or harmful because delusion is always unsatisfactory.

That’s incorrect in modern epistemology. The old school of thought was that “Knowledge is justified true belief”. It is difficult to shake that idea because it is ‘folk epistemology’ and it has been around for centuries…[Read more]

Religious justification is more powerful than anger or hatred and that is how ordinary people become instruments of atrocity.

I actually think that extremist religion and politics can justify “righteous” anger and hatred, blotting out all compassion or respect for human rights.  That’s because morality has an…[Read more]
