· ☕ 771  words life philosophy  · ✍️ Peter Hiltz
This post is Part 1 with the topics being “Logic”, “Perceptual Experience” and “Proper Names”. I recently came across the 2020 Philosopher Papers Survey of 7,685 academic philosophers around the world. (I think < 1,800 actually responded). I then ran into my first problem - uhh, what do those answers mean? It reminded me of tax lawyers writing for other tax lawyers. One piece of advice I used to give younger tax lawyers when they were writing for a business audience - drop the nuance.

Motte and Bailey
· ☕ 457  words politics rhetoric  · ✍️ Peter Hiltz
I have run into an argumentation tactic several times in the last few years and I finally discovered that it has an actual name. Consider the following: You and I are arguing over something which has a common usage understanding. I can’t convince you and then I insist that we are arguing over something using a technical definition different than common usage. I can prove my point using that definition. Have I won the original point?
