On ''what there is''


The question looks ''philosophical'' in the sense of ''what exist?''. In the old terminology ''ontology question''.
The modern formulation (by Quine) is: ''what are the values of your variables''? In our hobby ''what are
the new available components''?  Can one person know what are available components? Obviously not
but we have ''collective knowledge''. Each contribution is welcome. Like in science. But like in science there
are individuals with special contributions. Raul with his MM contributions and his ''successor'' chakster
with his contributions about ''both kinds'': MC's and MM's. Despite his ''modest means''. I think we should
be thankful to have such individuals.

The assertion that politics is like chess is refuted by Gasparov
himself . BTW I would prefer Federer above Gasparov as
new President of Russian Federation.
From Frege and Quine to politic... 😊

I am not sure if it is not a slippery road .... 😁


I dont know for Gasparov or Federer, i only know for sure that Bobby Fisher would have not been a good choice for tennis or politic.... 😉

Of all that i guess politic is like physic or chess or tennis in the best case a vocation not only a work....

Nobody could improvise himself a doctor, or a savior for the world , save Bill Gates and Jesus for sure...

But nowadays it seems medecine and computer industries and corporations are way over politic in weight ...

With the next virtual reality A.I. we will need no Christ to walk on water anyway....We will need nothing because we will own all our dreams come true through machine...

Am i cynic here?

Yes .....




My best to you....

Just a word to precise here that NOBODY ever claimed anything of the sort in this thread about politic and chess being alike...

Then you assume too much here for the sake of your post...

And myself i speak too much...

 Anyway i thank you for your  thread and interesting remarks out of the audio trivialities...

Everybody IS a philosopher but the most think that philosophy is
a kind of profession. Say the opinion about people: the good and
the bad one, rude kind nice kind , poor and rich , etc,. etc, This
 then can be called ''social philosophy''.
''Don't please mention politicians''.  Well this than   is ''political
philosophy''. One can't watch ''the world around him''  without 
forming some opinion about what one has seen  with his own
eye and ''elaborated '' with his own brain. 
This explains so many participants in this thread. Even the ''real
philosopher'' as those who think to hate ''philosophy''; the ''dark
Matter'' kind. 
Except those  who like ''borders  between categories'' the strict
followers of the rules ..'' It is not 'deed' Nandric ''but did''. Aka
''grammar rules'' but nearly nobody mentioned ''poor grammar''
with  only ''S'' (subject) the ''IS'' ( connector) and ''P'' (  the
predicate). How many ''issues'' can't be expressed with such
poor base with only  3 words  grammar ? 
The Germans have the most philosopher in the world with
possible exception of the ''old Greek''. What is however very
strange is their opinion about them: ''there is nothing more
easy than to refute an philosopher . The only thing one need
to do is to tread some other''.
