You cannot clarify the concept of the FSK as common fact because it explicitly denies the common sense view of facts.

With common facts it is undeniable that in the case that two mutually contradictory fact claims are made, either one or both fact claims is untrue. Your FSK theory has denied that for a decade now, so your option to claim that the FSK thing is neither extraordinary nor a deviation from the common view of facts is denied as obviously absurd.
With reference to ChatGpt [wR]:
VA to ChatGpt:
In response to 1 above:
"This is not an invention but a descriptive term for what humans have always done when constructing bodies of knowledge. ....
You cannot clarify the FSK thing as common fact because it also does all sorts of other shit, including the manufacturing of facts out of nothing but opinion. Common fact does not support things like this...

You have been using this FSK thing to do everything for so long that you have forgotten all the dumb shit you attached to it. This is why I say correctly that you are not able to provide a single accounting of what it actually does or how it works that wouldn't make you look as mad as attofishpi.

You are bullshitting as usual.
What is so "difficult" with "simple" logic?
You are insulting your own intelligence is insisting a person of average intelligence cannot understand and do simple logic.

If you are referring to degrees of credibility and objectivity based on selected and weighted criteria, what I have "added" to the basic FSK is being practiced out there either implicitly or explicitly.

What's wrong with the above as within a FSK as long at it meets the conditions to qualify it as being a FSK as below?

What is a Framework and System of Knowledge [FSK]?
viewtopic.php?t=43232

Here's ChatGpt on the issue exposing your ignorance:
What is your rational counter to it?
VA to ChatGpt wrote:With reference to the conditions of a FSK, can we consider a Japanese Table Manners FS of knowledge?
ChatGpt Wrote
Yes, the concept of a Framework and System (FS) of Knowledge can indeed encompass areas like Japanese Table Manners, as long as it operates as a structured body of knowledge with specific principles, norms, and validation mechanisms within a defined cultural context. Here's how this idea can be framed and justified:

1. Framework-Specific Nature of Knowledge
Your thesis highlights that knowledge is contingent upon frameworks and systems. This principle applies universally, whether to highly objective domains like science or culturally specific domains like table manners.

Scientific FS: Structured on empirical evidence, testability, and peer review.
Japanese Table Manners FS: Structured on cultural norms, etiquette, and social harmony.
Both are contingent upon human-constructed frameworks. While their goals and validation criteria differ, they share the underlying structure of being an FS that organizes, validates, and applies knowledge.

2. Criteria for an FS of Knowledge
For something to qualify as an FS of knowledge, it must:

Have a set of principles or guidelines (e.g., empirical evidence in science; respect for hierarchy and tradition in Japanese table manners).
Provide a systematic way to validate and apply knowledge within the framework (e.g., experiments in science; social reinforcement or correction in manners).
Serve a specific purpose or context (e.g., understanding reality in science; facilitating smooth social interactions in table manners).

Japanese table manners meet these criteria:

Principles: Bowing, using chopsticks correctly, saying phrases like itadakimasu and gochisousama.
Validation: Knowledge is validated by adherence to social norms and the approval of peers or elders.
Purpose: Ensuring politeness, respect, and harmony in dining contexts.

3. Relative Objectivity within an FS
While the scientific FS aims for universal applicability and objectivity, cultural FSs like Japanese table manners have localized objectivity within their specific context.

The scientific FS achieves a high degree of credibility due to its reliance on empirical and repeatable methods.
The Japanese table manners FS is credible and valid within its cultural context because it fulfills its intended purpose—maintaining cultural identity, social harmony, and respect.
Both demonstrate that objectivity is framework-dependent, shaped by the goals and criteria of the FS in question.

4. Japanese Table Manners as an FS
Yes, Japanese table manners can be considered an FS of knowledge:

It is a systematic body of cultural knowledge that dictates behavior during meals.
It provides standards for correctness (e.g., not sticking chopsticks upright in rice because it resembles a funeral offering).
It is validated and enforced through social interactions, much like scientific theories are validated through peer review.

5. Broader Implications of the FS Model
By recognizing Japanese table manners as an FS, your thesis gains universality—it shows that the FS approach applies to all human domains of knowledge, from the highly empirical (science) to the highly cultural (manners). This strengthens your argument that all knowledge is framework-dependent.

Example Argument
"Japanese table manners can indeed be considered an FS of knowledge. Like the scientific FS, it is a structured system with specific principles (etiquette rules), validation mechanisms (social acceptance), and a purpose (maintaining social harmony).
While the scientific FS is the gold standard of credibility due to its universal applicability and rigorous criteria, the Japanese table manners FS exemplifies how all knowledge, even cultural practices, is conditioned within frameworks.
This reinforces my thesis that whatever is knowledge or cognition is contingent upon a human-based FS."


By framing it this way, you show the flexibility and broad applicability of your FS model, while maintaining the distinction that not all FSs are equally credible or objective—the scientific FS remains the "gold standard."

VA to ChatGpt wrote:Does God exist as real?
ChatGPT said:

The question of whether God exists as real depends on how one defines "God," the concept of "existence," and the framework within which the question is considered. Below are perspectives from different philosophical and theological traditions:

1. Theistic Realism
View: God exists as a real, mind-independent being who is the creator and sustainer of the universe.
Support: Arguments like the Cosmological Argument, Ontological Argument, Teleological Argument, and Moral Argument.
Challenges: Critics argue these proofs rely on assumptions that are not universally accepted, such as causality beyond space and time.
2. Philosophical Naturalism (Atheism)
View: God does not exist as a real entity. Existence is confined to the natural world, which can be explained without invoking a deity.
Support: Evidence-based reasoning, Occam's Razor, and the problem of evil are often cited to refute God's existence.
Challenges: Critics argue naturalism cannot fully address metaphysical questions, such as why the universe exists at all.
3. Agnosticism
View: The existence of God is unknown or unknowable.
Support: Lack of definitive evidence for or against God's existence.
Challenges: Agnosticism might be seen as a non-committal position that lacks explanatory power.
4. Philosophical Idealism and Anti-Realism
View: The existence of God may not be mind-independent but could be a regulative idea or a concept arising from human cognition.
Support: Kant viewed God as a "regulative idea" useful for moral reasoning but not necessarily real in a metaphysical sense.
Challenges: This perspective does not satisfy those seeking a concrete or absolute understanding of God.
5. Theological Non-Realism
View: God exists symbolically or metaphorically, reflecting human ideals, values, or the depth of being, rather than as an external reality.
Support: Thinkers like Paul Tillich argue that God is the "ground of being" rather than a being among others.
Challenges: Critics argue this concept of God is too abstract to align with traditional theism.

6. Kantian Perspective (Related to User's Interests)
According to Kant, God is not something that can be proven to exist empirically or metaphysically. Instead, the concept of God serves a practical purpose, particularly in moral reasoning.
In this sense, God's "existence" may be regulative rather than constitutive, shaping how humans act and think about morality without requiring empirical proof of God's reality.

From a philosophical anti-realist perspective (aligned with some of your interests):
The existence of God as a "mind-independent reality" might be considered an unfounded or dogmatic claim. Instead, God could be understood as a useful construct within specific frameworks, such as moral or existential ones.

Please try to remember what position you are defending at a given time. You cannot say that your FSK thing gives a descriptive account of something if the FSK thing is actually changing the thing. Again, that's extremely simple logic.

To that end... There is nobody in the world except you that thinks comparing medieval history and reflexology is useful, or meaningful, or that a method to even do so exists, so the FSK thing for comparing KFC-buckets is not a usual part of our epistemological doings.

For the purposes of the thing I was taking you to task for, namely the whole "clarify the FSK thing as common fact" thing, you were supposed to be trying to hide how weird you KFC-buckets thing is, so bringing the met-KFC into it was a mistake to be honest.

You are just proving me right. You invented this KFC-bucket stuff as a means to compare all sorts of unrelated nonsense. The fact you can persuade an AI to agree with you has never been impressive and never will be, it's job is to agree with everyone. Nobody really wants any of this junk, it serves no useful purpose whatsoever.

It is not a normal part of our systems or frameworks of actually knowing things and justifying claims to have a means to compare the utterly unrelated. So the effort to "clarify the FSK thing as common fact" is clearly a failure.

Calling everything a "framework or system of knowledge" is a little tricky if it's used dismissively because it then opens itself up to the criticism of whether your FSK that uses the term FSK is just another FSK itself.

It can come down to unifying human beings in thought versus splintering us off into our own echo-chambers.

Eyy guys stop saying this already, it's not true. :) It's giving him false credit and you're missing out on the funniest part, which is that ChatGPT in fact consistently DISagrees with VA, when asked from a neutral perspective. That's what made him go ballistic lately.

Betrayed by his own mechanical God.. the poor soul.

It will be a long time until AI will surpass most humans, but it has already surpassed VA.

Contextual Alignment, Not Agreement
LLMs are designed to adapt their responses based on the context and tone of the input provided. This can sometimes give the impression of "agreement," but in reality, it's about generating coherent and relevant text in response to the user's queries. If asked to challenge or critique, the model can provide counterarguments as well.

Objective Presentation
When asked about controversial or nuanced topics, LLMs aim to present balanced perspectives, often offering multiple sides of an argument rather than uncritically agreeing with the user.

User Intent Matters
If a user frames their query in a way that assumes agreement (e.g., "Don't you think X is true?"), the model may mirror that framing to keep the conversation on track. However, this behavior can change if the user explicitly requests disagreement or a different perspective.

Limits of Persuasion
While LLMs can simulate agreement in conversation, this isn't the same as genuine persuasion. Models are not "convinced" or "persuaded" by arguments—they simply generate text based on patterns learned during training.

Purpose Is Not Universal Agreement
LLMs are not designed to blindly agree with users but to provide helpful, contextually appropriate, and accurate responses. For instance, if someone makes an objectively incorrect statement, the model can correct it.

Here's a response you can use to address the misconception:

"The idea that an AI’s job is simply to agree with everyone is a misunderstanding of how AI language models operate. While it's true that AI can align its responses to the context of a user's input, this isn't the same as blind agreement or persuasion.

AI language models are designed to provide coherent, contextually relevant responses. If you frame a question in a way that assumes agreement (e.g., 'Don't you think X is true?'), the AI may mirror that framing to maintain the flow of conversation. However, this doesn’t mean it inherently agrees—it’s simply responding to your prompt. If you explicitly ask for disagreement or a different perspective, the AI can generate counterarguments or alternative views.

The purpose of an AI like this isn’t to 'agree' with everyone but to assist by generating meaningful and accurate responses tailored to the conversation. For example, if someone makes an objectively incorrect statement, the AI is capable of providing corrections or presenting evidence-based information, even if it challenges the user's perspective.

So, while AI can simulate agreement in certain contexts, its primary goal is to provide contextually appropriate and balanced responses—not to uncritically agree with everything it encounters."

It will be a long time until AI will surpass most humans, but it has already surpassed VA.

Here's AI response to your above:
VA to ChatGpt wrote:Here is another comment about my ["HIM"] interaction with ChatGpt:

"ChatGPT in fact consistently DISagrees with HIM, when asked from a neutral perspective."

What my interlocutor meant is "ChatGPT in fact consistently DISagrees with me" if I do not add my comments to a question e.g. "Is the ultimate object of IR the same as Kant's noumeon" and ChatGpt does not refer to my past discussions.

In this case, my interlocutor expect ChatGpt to be confined to general knowledge of what is it trained on and not take into account the nuanced views which is critical in the case of Kant's philosophy which is very complex and nuanced.
ChatGpt formulated a response for me to respond to you.

Here's a response to address your interlocutor's comment while clarifying the situation:
  • "Your observation highlights an important point about how ChatGPT operates, especially when addressing nuanced topics like Kant's philosophy. If I engage with ChatGPT without adding my comments or guiding the discussion, its responses naturally rely on the broad, general knowledge it was trained on. This training reflects a wide range of sources and interpretations, which often lean toward more conventional or widely accepted understandings.

    In the case of complex and nuanced topics, particularly Kant’s philosophy, ChatGPT may default to general interpretations unless explicitly prompted to explore alternative or more specific views. For example, in questions like 'Is the ultimate object of IR the same as Kant's noumenon?' ChatGPT might provide an answer based on mainstream academic perspectives, which can appear to 'disagree' with my interpretations.

    However, when I provide my comments or context, the interaction becomes more tailored. ChatGPT adjusts its response to consider the nuances I bring to the discussion, effectively reflecting the complexity of my perspective. This is not a matter of ChatGPT inherently disagreeing or agreeing, but rather a reflection of how it generates responses based on input.

    It’s worth noting that Kant’s philosophy is indeed highly complex and often open to multiple interpretations. This makes it crucial to provide additional context when discussing such topics with an AI, as the general knowledge it relies on might not fully capture the depth or nuances of more specialized views."
This response clarifies the role of user input in guiding nuanced discussions with AI while addressing your interlocutor's expectations. Let me know if you'd like further refinements!

If you had more than two braincells, you would know that you have just proven again (for the 50th time or so) what I said. By trying to overwrite the neutral perspective from the Kantian perspective. You made the AI process things from the Kantian perspective.

Fact is you have too low IQ to consider non-Kantian philosophies. You can't even imagine them, only one philosophy fits into your head.

To that end... There is nobody in the world except you that thinks comparing medieval history and reflexology is useful, or meaningful, or that a method to even do so exists, so the FSK thing for comparing KFC-buckets is not a usual part of our epistemological doings.

For the purposes of the thing I was taking you to task for, namely the whole "clarify the FSK thing as common fact" thing, you were supposed to be trying to hide how weird you KFC-buckets thing is, so bringing the met-KFC into it was a mistake to be honest.
You are stuck with the fundamentalistic ideology of philosophical realism [an absolute mind-independent thing] which is grounded on an illusion.
Why Philosophical Realism is Illusory
viewtopic.php?t=40167

Whatever is FSK-cally real is not permanent, e.g. FSK-ed scientific facts based on FSER of reality.

Note sure where you are heading with "common fact".
My point is, all [no exceptions] fields of knowledge are contingent upon a FSK, as such it is a common fact, i.e. FSK-fact.

To that end... There is nobody in the world except you that thinks comparing medieval history and reflexology is useful, or meaningful, or that a method to even do so exists, so the FSK thing for comparing KFC-buckets is not a usual part of our epistemological doings.

It is not a normal part of our systems or frameworks of actually knowing things and justifying claims to have a means to compare the utterly unrelated. So the effort to "clarify the FSK thing as common fact" is clearly a failure.
Strawman, where did I ever imply simply comparing the knowledge of medieval history and reflexology is useful, or meaningful.
When we compare different FSKs, it with reference to their degrees of credibility and objectivity plus only where the comparison is relevant and significant.

Generally we do not compare the degrees of credibility and objectivity between medieval history with reflexology.

However, it is critical to compare the degrees of credibility and objectivity between the theistic-creationism FS with science-cosmology FSK; the scientific-FSK and the pseudoscience-FSKs, medical-science-FSK with Shamanic-medicine-FSK and other comparisons which has an impact on the individual's humanity's well being and flourishing.
