Re: Derrida

This is a joke, right? Derrida was a charlatan, as are all continental "philosophers."

Nah I rather not sink to your level.

All continental philosophers are charlatans? On what authority can you make such a claim?

Re: Derrida

A) Spammer starts a thread with no topic beyond "I like this guy's ideas."

B) Spammer claims intellectual superiority.

If A and B, then C.

C) Spammer is stupid.

Re: Derrida

Hmm. Do A and B jointly imply C? Let's see. If not C, can A and B still be true? So if -(Spammer is stupid) which is equivalent to Spammer is smart, then can there be a world in which said person starts a topic with "I like this guy's ideas" and "claim inellectual superiority"? Seems possible for me. And as the negation of the consequent is true, following the law of the excluded middle there cannot be something that is both true and false. Thus, C is false and the whole implication is false as a result as there cannot be true premises and false conclusions in implication.

Not that I actually needed to do that as you are not even entitled to conclude that A and B imply C. In fact, Premise B) and Premise C) seem to describe you V.Kemp.

Closed: No content in 1st post, and very clearly headed toward useless flame-fest-land.  If you want a legitimate debate, make a substantive 1st post.  Oh, and play nice, people.  You too, Kemp!  X(
