Epistemology and the 911 Attacks

[ElMondoHummus]

I am sorry, you did use the phrase epistemologically-based in the form of a question. I cannot accept that epistemologically-basedly answer.

 

[1337m4n]

Truthers like to use big words, thinking it will compensate for their ignorance and stupidity.

They do not seem to realize that intellect is measured not in the words you use, but in the thoughts expressed by those words.

I can write a philosophical dissertation on Locke's Social Contract using only vulgarities.

It appears to have been designed to overcome the 'capacity for disbelief' in explanations that are 'unbelievable'

I see. So the counter to that is to have us believe that nobody saw what they did as 16 acres of Manhattan real estate was turned into a gigantic dust bunny by Darth Vader.

Got it.

Thanks.

Is it clear yet?

Greetings Elmondo,

Thank you for posting dictionary definitions. They are helpful, a little bit, anyway.

Try this instead:

Epistemology addresses and/or helps to ascertain "how you know what you think you know."

That is it in general.

This is it, in particular:

There has not ever been a forensically valid determination of what happened on 9/11. For the most part, people assert a belief about the events on 9/11 based on what they saw and heard on teevee, which is a medium that is best understood as one that purveys falsity, illusion and intentional misrepresentation almost all of the time with respect to almost everything it displays. 9/11 was not an exception. 9/11 was an epistemological ploy, a psychological deception and a display of a weapon that was used on all of us.

We were zapped to a faretheewell and have not yet recovered. We are, however, making some progress. Those who did that to us will be identified and caught out sooner or later. Sooner is better than later.

Heed the call

Because nobody ever lies on the Internet.

Maybe it's a form of Tourette syndrome.

That's it brother preach it! I feel the call, I feel the spirit a-workin', that terrible certainty is descending on me and filling my soul. I see JW transcendent, glowing with wisdom so that all should knell before her majesty. I'm comin' to that altar where enlightenment awaits.

Praise!! Judy!!

e·pis·te·mol·o·gy

a branch of philosophy that investigates the origin, nature, methods, and limits of human knowledge.

jammonius has been investigating the limits of human knowledge. We don't know whether that particular pit has a bottom, but some of the insa intrepid explorers who volunteered to go down there are still sending us messages.

Epistemology addresses and/or helps to ascertain "how you know what you think you know."

It might even help with "how you don't know what you think you know."

We were zapped to a faretheewell and have not yet recovered. We are, however, making some progress.

Sorry to hear of your zapping, but glad you're making progress.

Those who did that to us will be identified and caught out sooner or later.

Do you know how you think you know that?

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

There has not ever been a forensically valid determination of what happened on 9/11 that conforms to my predetermined biases and justifies my ethnic and religious bigotry.

Corrected free of charge.

Hmmm, echos of bill smith.
AFAIK bill never did answer my question regarding whether or not those of us, who do not believe the 9/11 sci-fi tales that you and he do ,should begin putting together our defense that we were just dupes rather than agents of the secret organization responsible for the attacks. The hope is that we will just be fined and/or perhaps re-educated rather than jailed or put to death.

Perhaps you would do us that favour then? Should we?

I concur that 9/11 is an epistemologically-based military undertaking. It appears to have been designed to overcome the 'capacity for disbelief' in explanations that are 'unbelievable' by appealing to raw emotions, like defense of homeland from aggressive attack by those we are conditioned to and/or willing to 'dislike' to begin with.

AMJ asked a question that, although you may chaff at the way he asked, does deserve an answer.

You claim that the idea that a fanatical Islamic group hijacking several aircraft at once and using them as weapons to fly them into symbols of American/Western wealth and power and consequently having this result in the total destruction of three structures and massive damage to at least 7 more is 'unbelievable'. You instead substitute an unknown and undescribed weapon which you simply assert can perform all of the various, often mutually exclusive, tasks you care to ascribe to it and wish others to regard this as 'believable'.

Is this correct? Please begin with a simple yes or no and then flesh out the reply.

Hobbes is easier.

Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man. For war consisteth not in battle only, or the act of fighting, but in a tract of time, wherein the will to contend by battle is sufficiently known: and therefore the notion of time is to be considered in the nature of war, as it is in the nature of weather. For as the nature of foul weather lieth not in a shower or two of rain, but in an inclination thereto of many days together: so the nature of war consisteth not in actual fighting, but in the known disposition thereto during all the time there is no assurance to the contrary. All other time is peace.

Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to every man, the same consequent to the time wherein men live without other security than what their own strength and their own invention shall furnish them withal. In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
