How are you on discord

lavish finch
#

They didn't say they are in afghanistan now.

#

Well, without that there is science.

#

Just like without whale scientists there are still whales.

#

You can say it's the "scientific method"

#

and "logic"

#

but it begs the question, what are the scientific method and what is logic

#

I'd rather say that people within the discipline of the philosophy of science explore what science is rather than that they decide.

#

what is induction

covert raptor
lavish finch
#

There are some very serious problems with induction, highlighted by Hume.

covert raptor
#

Maybe we'll discover something better than the scientific method

#

In the future

lavish finch
#

so, what is induction

#

I'm asking everyone

#

Induction is a method of reasoning where general conclusions are derived from specific observations.

#

(not to be confused with deduction, where conclusions are drawn from general principles)

#

Hume's primary criticism is that when we move from observing particular instances to making broad generalizations, we make an assumption that is not logically justified.

covert raptor
lavish finch
#

Here's an example of how it might go wrong; Every morning, you observe that when a rooster crows, the sun rises shortly after. You might conclude from repeated observations that the rooster's crowing causes the sun to rise.

lavish finch
#

"Our estimation of the probability of an event, based on past observations, assumes that the future will resemble the past. But this assumption cannot be rationally justified."

#

"our expectations about probabilities, like our beliefs in causal relations, are formed more from habit and custom than from rational reasoning. When we see two types of events repeatedly conjoined, we naturally come to expect them to be conjoined in the future, even though this expectation isn't logically guaranteed."

# dusty garden Cool! Poland, it's a cold country isn't it ?

During summer the temperature is usually between 25-35 degrees of celcius. In winter between -20 and 5. It's differs depending on the year. What is most important, our summer is short. It ends around late August. Now autumn is coming and it's getting darker and darker. Today the sun went down at 5 p.m.

# latent ledge Now or in summer??

It gets hotter in summer, belive me xD I have a friend that lives there in Mato Grosso do Sul, in a small town that is really close to Bolivia which is named Corumbá, some weeks ago the temperature was 43 celcius at 9 am!!!!

Of course cause the Palestinian attacked at first and the Ukrainian defended her self from the Russians, you just can't compare these things, and what about 11/9 huh????

#

Did they defend themselves????

#

It's like Russia is Palestine with strong power and Ukraine is like Israel but with less power

#

This is what it is like.

#

The Russians started to attack, not the Ukrainians.....

#

The hamas started this war, Israel didn't in this time, but when Israel attacked first it's because they see a threat in Gaza

#

Stop please say things you don't know

# thorny steeple Of course cause the Palestinian attacked at first and the Ukrainian defended her...

Look, boy, can you tell me the age of the entity called Israel?
Or in other words, look at the history that you know nothing about, specifically 1948, when the usurping entity occupied the State of Palestine.
Which was called at the time the Canape David Treaty, “the promise of those who do not have to those who do not deserve.” Has it not occurred to you why it was called by this name?
Because the occupying entity has no right to property at all.
secondly :
Your talk about Israel, the occupying entity, is very absurd. Look at Palestine, who is killing innocent people?
Who kills children? Who is killing women and destroying places of worship in Palestine?
Quite clearly it is "Israel"
As for your talk about Palestine starting it, allow me to tell you that you are inexperienced and mistaken. Why?
If we assume for the sake of argument that Palestine is the one that started it, tell me, boy, if a thief or a usurper of your home entered upon you and your family, would you stand in front of him and look at him without resisting him? Or will you say as you say now?
Palestine is free, and the occupying Israeli entity is the usurper and aggressor. Do not forget that in 1973 they were also aggressors and were defeated in the worst way because they were weak.

Free Palestine and Israel are the killers of children.

@thorny steeple The NPR-PBS News Hour-Marist poll found that nearly two in three Americans — or roughly 65 percent — say the government should publicly support Israel. About 23 percent said the U.S. should say or do nothing related to the conflict, and 8 percent say the U.S. should publicly criticize Israel.
There are a lot of pulls that I've checked and they are more or less the same. In Europe it is not save to say what you think or where you stand, you know why... and yeah, I just didn't want to look. but surely there is the same situation.

Non-profits vs for-profits corporations. Which one is better for the world? How do you even study this topic?

static pivot
# untold tapir Non-profits vs for-profits corporations. Which one is better for the world? How ...

Technically there is no difference. A non-profit simply means the organization does not pay out profits to its shareholders, while a for-profit company’s sole mission is to provide a return for its owners. (See shareholder primacy and capitalism and freedom by Friedman) in the past few decades this has been criticized and the popular opinion is that companies should also be responsible in other ways such as through environmental and social governance (ESG) metrics. Though the main argument for corporations is that they are a vehicle for people to invest into technological progress and innovation. Since every company’s purpose is to provide income for their shareholders, they need to outcompete their competition and provide a cheaper/better/in demand product than anyone else. (in theory.)
Also typically, in America, ‘non-profit’ orgs want to be classified as 501(c)3 charities since this exempts them from most federal and state income taxes. This means they can divert more of their income (donations) towards their necessarily charitable mission. This is not the only type of non-profit but other types of non profits that are not charities do not benefit from as broad of tax exemptions. (Eg 501(c)7 social clubs).
Then the argument of ‘which is better for the world’ is more of a philosophical question than anything. Especially since most non-profits are funded in part by corporate donations. The tax exemption of 501(c)3 charities means that many companies can write off donations to these non-profits on their own taxes as well. For profit companies have definitely created more technological advancements than non-profit organizations, (like the computer you’re reading this on) but they often work with non-profits (read the government) to provide these advancements. The internet was originally a US department of defense project. (DARPANET) so you tell me.

I gave you my opinions and a few sources to search for you to form your own argument

untold tapir
#

I agree with all of your points and concluded that it doesnt matter.There is only one thing I see, that is non-profits can help reduce population extremes.

#

Non-profits wont make rich richer.

#

Actually that kinda makes it worth it

static pivot
#

Less that it doesn’t matter, and more that they’re both valuable in their own right. It depends on how you define ‘better’

untold tapir
#

Agree

static pivot
#

Also this is a contentious point as well since many wealthy people start charities/philanthropic orgs primarily for the tax benefits. And even if they aren’t distributing profits explicitly there is nothing barring the officers of a non-profit from receiving large compensation packages /salaries (see Susan g komen foundation). And they might be more willing to choose to contract work to companies that they have ownership stakes in (though self-dealing like this may be illegal in some circumstances)

I mean..

#

I never undersrtood how CEOs of non-profits could have millions in compensation.

# untold tapir I never undersrtood how CEOs of non-profits could have millions in compensation.

patrickhmmm It’s market value for their time I guess. They bring in large donations for the org to carry out their mission and in return they are compensated for their labor. These people could make a ton of money doing sales in the private sector, so the non-profit needs to pay enough to retain their performant employees. The argument is similar to Omaze offering expensive prizes in exchange for donations to non-profits. Is it expensive to buy a lambo to giveaway? Yeah. But the argument is this flashy offer will bring in more income/donations for the non profit than simply asking people.

#

If that makes sense?

Hi @hazy root yesterday i lost the timing to elaborate on my use of some terms.
So to answer your remark that Honesty and transparency are the same in a way in the context of a relationship :
First of all, they are not one and the same.
Honesty focuses on stating the truth, being factual and to not deceive in any way. While, transparency focuses on sharing informations openly.
Furthermore, sincerity focuses on being real with intentions and actions.

# dusty garden could you explain citizen journalism to me please ?

I think that the reason for this seeking “citizen journalism” or individuals reporting on what they see and experience through their own account is that the mass media systems are often suspected of layering particular political agendas into their reporting of events.

dusty garden

#

I think that the frustrating thing about so many media outlets seems to be that they are more interested in making a profit than they are in reporting facts. I don’t think this is fault of the journalists, I believe it is the interference of production companies.

I think people from usa call it America, cause it is and that's fine (unfortunately some think that's all there is, or it's exclusive). But it is presumptuous of people when referring to usa in particular, to call it America, as the term does refer to every country from Chile to Canada. I like to address people from USA as USA and then either a country name(eg Honduras, Canada, Peru), or North/Central/South America if just regional.

(Remember ||death|| to america, hurts the feelings of all, but in particular Ecuadorians, El Salvadorans, Panamanians etc). So choose your regions correctly.

#

in common practice when someone says “Americans” it is generally understood that they are referring to the citizens of the US. when they mean someone from South America or Canada, they most of the time just specify “South Americans” or “Canadians”. (However, I’m not denying that such usage of the word America can be misleading and even problematic in some situations)

feral river
#

I could be refer to the USA, and America continent.

lavish finch
#

People critical of the US call it Amerika.

feral river
#

but mostly, I think most people use america to refer to USA instead of American continent

#

for continents, North America/South America are common to use.

lavish finch
#

Calling the US "America" is an example metonymy.

#

where one word is substitute for another that is closely associated with it

#

like "White House" to talk about the presidential administration

#

or "Hollywood" to talk about the US film industry

#

or "the crown" to talk about the queen

devout shale
#

@lavish finch can it be called synecdoche too?

lavish finch
#

honestly, I find it hard to distinguish metonymy and synecdoche

#

"Synecdoche often involves using a part to represent a whole or a whole to represent a part"

#

wheels to talk about cars, boots to talk about soldiers

#

brains to talk about smart people

#

swords to talk about people fighting with swords

feral river
#

im confused

lavish finch
#

in other words, they are similar but essentially different;
metonymy; using a word that is closely associated with another idea
synecdoche; using a part for the whole

devout shale
#

@lavish finch cool

lavish finch
#

"In synecdoche, the relationship is based on a direct part-to-whole (or vice-versa) connection. In metonymy, the relationship is associative, meaning the terms are closely related but not part of the same entity."

#

"Consider the phrase "The White House issued a statement." If we interpret "The White House" to mean the people who work inside the building (a part of the entity representing the whole entity), it's synecdoche. If we interpret "The White House" as a symbol of the U.S. presidential administration (an associated concept), it's metonymy."

fr it’s hard to understand but I understood

Synecdoche = The White house is white house

metonymy = The White House is joe biden’s house

#

at least for now

halcyon nexus
#

💀 I can't even comprehend what are you trying to say

#

But ok

feral river
#

well it’s just a term that refers to two different concepts.

#

but if you gonna explain it explicitly, it’s hard

ornate siren
#

Contrast metonymy and synecdoche with hypallage, or the transferred epithet. It's a figure of speech or rhetoric device wherein we "transfer" the epithet or adjective describing the noun of the main clause to the secondary clause. Sometimes adverbs are also changed to adjectives in this process.
"The ploughman plods his weary way.” Here, it means that the ploughman wearily plods his way, but the adverb has been changed to an adjective to describe the way he follows, as if his weariness, being enormous, has spread to his way.
Another one: "He spent all night wakeful, next to his sleepless pillow."

halcyon nexus
#

thanks for explaining

ornate siren
#

An example of metonymy: the Crown for the monarch

ornate siren
#

Classically, synecdoche can be divided into two forms:
Pars pro toto: The substitution of a part of the whole for the whole itself. For example, "brains" for smart people as Mr. Green said.

#

Totum pro parte: The substitution of the whole for a part of it. For example, saying "drinking the cup" while meaning to drink only the beverage that it contains.

# thorny steeple What do you think about the conflict between Israel and Palestine?

My view in that it is Israel and pelestine had a deal to cut the land but Israel wanted more so they used force to take more space from pelestine and a lot of civilians got killed
Hamas did that operation to pull Israel to stop stealing lands and killing civilians
But Israel called USA and they have a lot of interest in Israel so USA started playing thier propaganda to paint the pelestinians as terrorists
And now israel have a reason to clear all pelestine with thier civilians so they can take the hole land and kicking the pelestinians to Egypt

I think fashion is a way to show and express oneself. However if someone always wants to catch the newest trend of fashion, the fashion will become a scam creepy because in that case this fashion will cost people a lot. And those payments are not necessary. In my opinion everyone is better to have its individual style of fashion. In conclusion, fashion is a choice not a race.

# static pivot Que: Is fashion selfish in a world where many people don’t have what they need? ...

I think it is. In essence, fashion is a further unnecessary item for people who have money left. Those people can purchase many things which aren’t required for survival. However people also have much more basic requirements such as food, safe, knowledge and education. In my opinion, if people don’t have such those things, the fashion will become the luxury item, which they can’t prioritise.
