No, In actuality I spend plenty of time in thought, at present I am thinking that carrying on incessant conversation with yourself is telling as to your inflated self valuing of your own opinion. I would suggest a hobby that actually involves interaction with someone aside from yourself.

Maybe she's just practising for her Turing test? [;)]

quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead Not actually true. There's other ways of reasoning than thesis antithesis and synthesis. You do not reason if you are already in direct possession of the outcome. You can be in indirect possession of the outcome at the outset, however. What you are saying is false and obviously false.

Try googling "extrapolation". Then think hard about the definition you find.

No idea Moon, but it is a phenomena that in all my years posting in forums, I have never seen. Post, self reply, post self reply, post, self reply....

It's an odd one, true enough.

I even know what interpolation is and what the difference between extrapolation and interpolation. If you have a point, produce it.

What, talk to myself for a couple of pages in order to flaunt my reasoning?

BenevolentM -> RE: Affordable Care Act and Its Implementation (7/7/2012 5:01:20 AM)
Having thought about what Moonhead wrote a little further it seems reasonable to me that perhaps Moonhead is complaining that he did not understand my reference to extrapolation. What I am claiming is that the Supreme Court has reinvented the constitution perhaps in much the same way that the physics community embraced relativity after having embraced Newtonian mechanics. It is America 2.0. It is not backwardly compatible. Interpolation suggests backward compatibility, minor version change, a refinement, whereas extrapolation suggests a major version change.

Except that your premises are for shit.

No, I was objecting to your wrong headed statement that all reasoning involves a synthesis of conflicting values, rather than an extrapolation from an existing position.

Extrapolation from an existing position involves a synthesis of conflicting values. Technically, you are wrong, but it is not impossible for you to have an unspoken point if you were specific. What you said is too general. Secondly, this is not a meta-discussion. The particular argument style I've adopted may be appropriate to the problem. The problem space contains a great deal of conflict. I'm attempting to settle the conflict.

mnottertail -> RE: Affordable Care Act and Its Implementation (7/7/2012 5:26:09 AM)
Settle it in your own mind first, silently, use your inside voice. There is only so much bandwidth, to talk about what is very definitely all over.

And Universal coverage will happen after all, SCOTUS essentially said today that health care is a right of every American citizen. Actually, they didn't say that. What they said is....you have a federal mandate to acquire health care. (That's what they said). Not quite but a federal mandate to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty.

Suppose you were to send a probe from Earth to Mars. The trajectory of the probe is an extrapolation. The probe can miss the target, however. Why is that? Why are course corrections needed? Because the situation exists in tension between or among conflicting values. The probe wants to plunge into the Sun. The probe also wants to travel in a straight line.

I am getting the feeling this is only so much of what we are all admonished to treat very circumspect...Internet (blog) jargon and whether it is all essentially meaningless and this is.

Is ObamaCare a course correction or something that is going to take us off course? The Republicans seem to feel that it is taking us off course, whereas the Democratics seem to feel that it is a course correction.
