Quine is a fool.
The same could be said about Ontological Objectivists (and I assume you are one).
Your religion goes against all Empirical and Historical evidence.

I'll keep it brief. By "believing" and "not believing", I mean believing and not believing.
So you can't tell me what those words mean to you? Oh well...
I am going to venture a guess that "communicating my beliefs" relays far more information about my vocabulary than my actual behaviour or thought-patterns.

Then let me give you an example: I don't believe you don't know what believe means.

Well yeah; actions speak louder than words.

1) No, you assumption is false.
2) I believe nothing, and so have no religon.
Your score 2/0

Just because it's not true it doesn't mean it's false.

The absence of belief is a belief.

OK, but I don't know what 'believe' means, because nobody knows what "meaning" is.
At best - meaning is contingent and highly subjective, so your sentence is meaningless to me.

Your assumption is false, and that means it is not true.
You are just making an arse of yourself

Again you are making a damn fool of yourself.
Absence of fish is not a fish.
Absence of reason is not reason. You have an absence of reason.

That is meaningless.
What do you mean?

You are meaningless to the world.

Everybody is. The world doesn't care about meaning. Only humans do.

Second time I have to explain this to you now. False doesn't necessarily mean not true.
Sculptor wrote: ↑ Tue Nov 26, 2019 2:10 pm
Absence of reason is not reason. You have an absence of reason.
Better an absence than a negative score. Either way - it's relevant to one's ontological conception of "reason".

Yay! I scored 3 more.

No. But you seem to be.
The "world" is the human on earth.
The earth does not care, true.
