Originally posted by HTS Leftism and liberalism became synonymous somewhere around the year 2000. Did you not get the memo?
I didn't, and still don't have it. Not because I think semantics are set in stone but because I've swung to the opposite extreme and think a deconstructive analysis of the materiality of meaning makes it impossible to found a semantics of language of authorial intent.

I haven't said anything "theories of existence". I've just said that mathematics is unfalsifiable and have been dealing with pages of butthurt from you ever since. -

Of the countries I've experienced K-12 education in the US was the least physically violent but the most socially divided. Like no one gets bullied by the big dude threatening to beat them up or whatever but the in group/out group dynamic is pretty significant and I feel like there's much more stigma around being part of the out group than elsewhere. I'm convinced this is also what gives rise to the selfie phenomenon and obsession with documenting every social gathering, it works to vouch for your social status to those not present.

except mathematics is something you can find an example of in the real world in a second, and when scientific studies and physics predictions using equations turn out to be accurate it supports the rigor of the equation and its foundations. did you really just substitute philosophy with mathematics and think it would be equivalent you fucking retard?
Lol, see, this is why you need philosophy. There are no examples of mathematics in nature. There are physical systems that are well modeled by some piece of mathematics but these systems are not instantiations of mathematics in the world. "F=ma" is not a theorem of mathematics, it's a physical model using mathematics. If we were to find an example of a body breaking this law we wouldn't be falsifying anything in mathematics, we'd be falsifying the proposition that that equation models the world. Something like "1+1=2" is a theorem of some arithmetic systems but there is absolutely no empirical physical finding that could falsify it. Indeed, mathematics is unfalsifiable.
Good luck "studying cognition from a perspective of statistics" if you can't even figure out what mathematics is. -
2017-04-04 at 5:06 AM UTC in I wrote a game: OnitamaBeen working on a game for the last week or two, it's called Onitama, I didn't design the game, just wrote the computerized version.
Rules: http://www.arcanewonders.com/resources/Onitama_Rulebook.PDF
Play: http://onitama.lannysport.net/

Sorta similar to chess but simpler, plays considerably faster. If anyone wants to play a round let me know. -

Funny choice of words since the entire notion of falsifiability as being the demarcation criterion for science emerged from academic philosophy and accepting it immediately commits you to a philosophical position. -

If you want to complain about my moderation you can make a thread about it in B&M. If you want to just generally waste your time trying to offend me you can do that there too. You will not do it here. Posts in this thread will pertain to the topic of the morality of eating meat and related issues. That goes for everyone.
If you would like to continue posting on this forum, you can simply stop replying to this thread. Or reply in some sort of way that constitutes discussion of the topic.

Lanny, I really wanted this thread to hit 1,000 posts at one point, but over the last dozen pages or so I've come to realize all the serious posters are tired of it, and only the idiots keep coming back. Would you be willing to lock it?
This thread will never die. -

Originally posted by LegalizeSpiritualDiscovery What are some good drinks, other than shots, beers, or Jack and Coke, to order at the bar, that won't make the bartender look at me like I'm crazy because the fuck is that? Mostly thinking along the lines of whiskey or bourbon. I only really ever get shots or Jack and Coke. The bartender is cool and knows I like to mix it up and try new things, but I haven't tried any interesting mixed drinks or cocktails.

just throw in some buzzwords "epistemological" "qualia" "consciousness" "metaphysical" "ontological" and you totally know what you're talking about. its like a 2 year old scribbling with research paper vocab instead of crayons
the tests are questionable because they would literally confirm everything people say about you being a pretentious psuedointellectual + ironic hipster wigger/kill yourself loser
I love how intimidated you are by people using words you don't know. You have to instantly go on the offensive and call them a pseudo intellectual. Clearly it's impossible to know more words than you right? -

2018-03-26 at 8:31 AM UTC in What is the purpose of a Class.
Originally posted by Sophie I have some questions but i will get back to it later. But for now, say i have a program with a lot of components. I would like to put each component into a file which i can import so my main python file will not be polluted by a million functions that do all sorts of things. My main question for now would be, what would be the proper way of writing the "libraries" or components that i wish to import into my main python file.
Do i just put everything in a class and put a bunch of methods in the class that i call with `import MyLib; MyLib.Method(arguments)` or what?
If you're writing code works reasonably as a collection of functions, then by all means, use functions instead of classes. In Python (and this isn't true of every language) it's perfectly acceptable to make a library that has multiple top level functions.
You'll want to create a class when you have some kind of data you want to model. So like in ISS we have a `Post` class and we instantiate a Post class for each post in the database. Every post can be moved beween threads so there's a `.move_to_thread()` method defined for all of them. If you have data like this, where there are many instances of the same basic type of thing, then you might want to make a class for that. If you just want to split up your logic it's perfectly fine to just keep top level functions split up across files (in ISS the `utils` file or `iss_bbcode` are good examples of this, just a hodge podge of functions and some classes that are related to each other). -
