These are probably the takeaways that matter the most to me, at the moment. It's tempting to say it's all just a perspective or an opinion - but that would be lying by omission. It is correct.

The reasoning of Nagarjuna, the most important figure in Mahayana Buddhist thought beyond the Buddha, whose central writings claim to expound the teachings of the Buddha himself, has an internal logical structure that is machine-checkably coherent. rollofthedice2.substack.com/p/the-intern...

the worst strategic mistakes of everyone in the party for the last several years pretty much all come down to a delusion that the overwhelming majority of the party is with them and that their opponents are just annoying people on twitter

That exclusion either adds a premise whose warrant is open to the same analysis, or is licensed only by the foundation it is meant to secure. The first relocates the ground; the second begs the question. A substantive independent exclusion can be answered, but it has to be supplied.

A countermodel need not be uniquely correct to refute □P. It must preserve the definitions, logic, and independent premises genuinely shared by the claim. If it does, the claimant needs an independently warranted reason to exclude it, not merely “my theory declares it inaccessible.”

I think I see the larger objection you’re building, so let me scope ahead. If the claim were “this model is the uniquely correct worldview,” satisfiability would be insufficient. But the target is a necessity claim, which quantifies over every admissible alternative.

My new paper "The Modal Catuṣkoṭi" coherently translates Mahayana Buddhist philosophy's structure into formal modal logic across all relevant systems. It's the first peer-reviewed comparative-philosophy article with central model-theoretic results Lean-verified. scholarworks.sjsu.edu/comparativep...

A man would know the end he goes to, but he cannot know it if he does not turn, and return to his beginning, and hold that beginning in his being.

this is a weird line to draw since the liberal position (correct) is that it's not reasonable to summarily execute people in international waters even if they're involved in drug trafficking and the conservative position is that you must do that even if you kill a bunch of innocent people too

CNN

The US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.
