(need 75 or more)
Abduction | Not kidnapping! The conflation of induction as projectible testable abstraction with post hoc rationalization. Arsehole philosophers evidently think prediction doesn't work. |
---|---|
Antirealist | A philosophers word for someone who cares about what's "out there" rather than what's "in here" about "out there". In other words a real realist is an antirealist |
Dualism | The honest mistake of a genius flogged with shame through history to the present day where the mistake is repeated with amplification |
Emergence | To a mathematician, a consequence of one way functions; to a computer scientist, a consequence of the combinatorial explosion; to a scientist, a demonstration of entropy; but to a philosopher something that never was and there's no evidence of it ever being but which is supposed to be taken seriously |
Epiphenomal | Mind is phase waves! A philosopher who forgets what he just experienced and so claims experience has no material effect. |
Irreducible | It won't change no matter how you hit it. Rather like a philosophers fancies. |
Metaphysical | For those who can't figure out physics but are certain they understand the universe better than physicists. |
Microphysics | Because philosophers think something happens in their brains that is smaller than Planck length. They may be right. |
Modal | How to sound profound about how. |
Monism | All the same shit just piled differently |
Ontology | Because "catalog" doesn't have enough letters, and if we said catalog you might think its just references to kinds of stuff and not something with meaning otherwise. |
Phenomenal | What you can remember and report upon from inside your head. |
Predicate | "Something before" sounds so much more impressive in latin. Of course as logic is a temporal it's only a philosophers version of logic in which a "predicate" is a logical contingent |
Qualia | I forget are these qualities about things or qualities about our perception of things? |
Reductive | A pejorative of conceptual dimunition |
