Try an example.
Quote:I question your use of the word, because you seem to be using it about things which you cannot establish actually to represent truth.I'm not using it to establish -anything at all-.........I used it as an example of the difference between experience, evidence, and truth. How they aren't interchangeable terms. Understand?
Quote:Dude, your entire world view is a metaphysical claim. However, it is also context-dependent. Therefore you hold an unholdable position, and you must mediate it with bullshit terms like "weight of evidence," and you pretend that those mediators mean more than "I can't prove it, but I will still assert it."...........? This salvages equivocation how? When you're done bitching about metaphysical claims that don;t present themselves in this thread, and likely don;t exist in my own opinions anyway, can we get back to talking about the things that do exist in this thread..that clearly are the positions of a person interacting in this thread, exactly as they put them?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
