should lanny stop pretending to be an important philosopher

  1. Originally posted by PhD in Condom Mechanics You can understand the points and reasons behind the works of the big papi philosophers without actually reading their book, and it will help you stay outside of the yarns they spin and remain rational.

    then how do you know for sure when your arguing against kant your actually arguing against the idea of kant as opposed to arguing against the opinion of people / a 3rd party / a bunch of cunts who interpreted the works of kant ?

    In general: you would rely on the credibility of the book and author. For example, if it's being used as a textbook in Harvard, you're probably safe.

    For me in specific: I've already read them, which is how I came to make my recommendation.

    Originally posted by gadzooks It's an unwritten law of the universe that anyone who boasts about their IQ is definitely full of it.

    For all I know, you could be telling the truth, but clearly intelligence in whatever way you seem to define it is not very comprehensive, since it seems to lack certain nuances such as humility, grace, tact, or anything resembling social intelligence.

    ^this

    intelligence comes in different forms. what is Norm range today may not be what norm is instinctively. changes from environment and current peer pressures of the times may have altered these outdated methods of measuring intelligence from decades back.

    quotient" is the seperations of different forms (inteligence in this case) which means in order for the person to have a high IQ means they have to be able to have, Cross the table" knowledge of all fields used in the study.

    this just means you're a Jack of all trades" over "Master of one". (this was my saying before that Paki/Indian dude used it for his show) Master of None with a High IQ. where the fuck is this going to get you? if you excel in Science and require math and knowledge of the table of periodic table of contents and which chemicals react to others. and how they all react and how the brain functions doesn't mean you automatically can do brain surgery or build super computer chips from scratch. Is skills of holding a scalpel apart of the IQ test? the bodies ability to know how to overpower any neurological disabilities? like the person who can't overcome his or her parkinson's shakes vs the guy who can't utilize calculating mathematical numbers faster than others can.

    fuck you for having a response towards this. thinking you're better than the rest of us. You tinks yu betta den us?

    ammended to my statement above

    Stephen Hawkings was brilliant but couldn't overcome his ability of his disease.

    why shouldn't this drop his IQ points significantly? because he had a form of retardation that his body burdened him with? the same can be said for the guy who has a delayed time in thinking the right answer up.

    speed is built into this test.

    I took twices as long and got an IQ of 30 because of it. I was to do 80 answers in 45 minutes (or 30 or some shit) I did 40 out of the 80 before time was up. I got an IQ of 30. but tell me this. I only did 40 and got 39 of the answers right. so my speed factored into this (gabapentin)

    lol I'm severely retarded" is what it said. But I got 39 out of 40 questions right.. even though I was supposed to do 80. and they weren't in order of subject.. they were randomized.

    You are retared, OP. Stupid, ignorant and dumb, too, if you still believe a person's IQ means anything.

    Well, one could argue that he wasn't even all that far off, actually...

    I mean, musical coherence holding it all together is kinda... beautiful, in it's own way.

    Maybe. I don't think I ever claim anything to the contrary.

    Originally posted by PhD in Condom Mechanics Do you not understand how science works?

    The theory is a model for explaining actual, empirical observations of behaviours in nature. That's the starting point, nobody just pulled QM out of their ass. Each correct prediction by a theory increases the likelihood of the theory being correct. QM is not any different.

    We can't deductively prove anything, science is the realm of synthetic statements, we use statistics to bolster our confidence in theories; we can say through repeated experiments that we either have the right answer, or the alternative is that we are getting consistent results by luck on the order of winning the lottery 6 times in a row. If you want to cling to that alternative hypothesis then great, but the rest of us are fine with saying we have 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999% confidence in the explanation.

    I don't think I've ever claimed to know reality with any greater precision than "99.9999999999999999999999999999999999%".

    You might be mistaking me for someone else, or are just making wild assumptions for no good reason.

    Originally posted by PhD in Condom Mechanics We observe actual effects in the world that are very accurately modelled as force carrier particles between interacting fields. It's not just made up out of someone's ass. Literally wtf are you babbling about?

    And these scientific models have no basis in the history of philosophy?

    All I was saying was that science has it's roots in philosophy.

    What are you babbling about?

    He would sit down and open a NiS search for keyword, Lanny, and a hundred threads would pop up, because of how much of a shit disturber he is. So, instead of addressing the negative attention, he figured he would go the complete opposite route and simply ban any usage of the word, Lanny. That way when he searches his name, nothing will come up, and he can then feel better about himself. But then he broke his own site by doing so, as a kind of ironic retribution sent by the lesser Totse gods, and he had to remove the enhancement.

    You know I wasn't going to say anything but seeing as the subject of discussion has been philosophy I have to say I was expecting a more nuanced view than that.

    Your parents hate you, every woman you've ever been with has left you, even the ones you didn't rape, you have no friends, you can't hold down a job. You abandoned your own child. You are the worse human being on a site filled with addicts and two bit criminals. One day you're going to walk past someone on the street without really noticing them. That person's going to be me and I'm going to stick a knife into your gut. I'll keep on walking calmly as you collapse and bleed out on the sidewalk, I'll have a nice dinner and a glass of wine that evening and then sleep peacefully knowing I did the world a big favor that day.

    There's no additional nuance necessary, there's nothing special about QM, it is as real as it gets.
