Münchhausen Trilemma

The Münchhausen Trilemma (after Baron Münchhausen, who allegedly pulled himself and the horse on which he was sitting out of a swamp by his own hair), also called Agrippa's Trilemma (after Agrippa the Skeptic), is a philosophical term coined to stress the purported impossibility to prove any truth even in the fields of logic and mathematics. It is the name of an argument in the theory of knowledge going back to the German philosopher Hans Albert, and more traditionally, in the name of Agrippa. Trilemma If we ask of any knowledge: "How do I know that it's true?", we may provide proof; yet t...

@Tristan All days?

@Tristan Any day?

@RonanForman Yay!

5:01 PM

@OrigamiRobot Can you objectively know that?

Wipqozn

@RonanForman Almost at my favourite part.

bwarner

I still need 4 more ME3 questions to meet my grant requirements. Not sure that I'm going to make it.

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn T_T

Arda Xi

@OrigamiRobot insert axiom

OrigamiRobot

@Ullallulloo I cannot.

bwarner

5:01 PM

Every time I think I have a good question, I realize it has already been asked.

OrigamiRobot

@ArdaXi Which one?

ahsteele

@ArdaXi I realize I'm asking too many questions about the mechanics of chat but how'd you drop a Tweet into the middle of the room? Just a direct link?

Arda Xi

@ahsteele Yeah.

ahsteele

@ArdaXi cool

FAE

@ahsteele Yes, twitter, youtube, amazon links, wikipedia links, those will all onebox

OrigamiRobot

5:02 PM

@ahsteele We love helping people.

ahsteele

@ArdaXi and yeah I'm excited for D3.... so bored of the beta

FAE

I'm not sure what else off the top of my hea

ahsteele

@OrigamiRobot that's kind of hte point of hte whole network right? :)

bwarner

@ahsteele Those of us who never got into the beta pity you greatly. :p

John

@bwarner D: Hurry!

agent86

5:03 PM

@ahsteele there's a lot of cool features documented in the FAQ: chat.stackexchange.com/faq

ahsteele

@bwarner hehehe I know ... honestly the way company's are doing betas these days it's much more akin to shareware of old

bwarner

@John I guess I have to hope there is another grant before Diablo 3. Though the release calendar makes that probably unlikely.

ahsteele

@agent86 are you telling me RTFM?

@agent86 :P

Wipqozn

@ahsteele Looks like it.

agent86

@ahsteele in the nicest way possible ;) seriously though, there's so much cool stuff packed into chat, it's worth a quick read through.

Ullallulloo

5:05 PM

@ahsteele And repz.

agent86

@Ullallulloo and TVs :D

Wipqozn

@RonanForman: I'm sure you've already noticed this, but the in-game sound is still really low in the video.

Ullallulloo

@bwarner Two months?

Ronan Forman

@Wipqozn It's hard to balance everything, and then certain bits are really loud.

Stephen

bbiab, later g.se chatters :)

bwarner

5:07 PM

@Ullallulloo Yah, do you see anything else grant worthy coming up in that timeframe?

ahsteele

@agent86 it is a good read, I really haven't participated much in chat, used to hang out on SO meta quite a bit ... introduction of twins and increased responsibilities at work have limited my community involvement as of late

Fabian

@RonanForman Funny that you had problems finding the key for interacting with stuff when everyone complains that they mapped pretty much everthing in the game to that one button ;-)

Sterno

@BenBrocka 3 questions to go. Can you smell the peanuts?

Ronan Forman

@Fabian That's the point, I wasn't expecting it to be the same as running/hiding

agent86

@Sterno MY PEANUTS >:|

bwarner

5:09 PM

Maybe we should do an Angry Birds grant.

agent86

I had to fight LPMF for them, and then you stole them and now they've restocked, and NOBODY CAN HAVE ANY

Fabian

@RonanForman It's running/cover/jumping over cover/interacting/rolling

and probably something I forgot

agent86

I'm like an angry pit bull at a planter's factory

Ronan Forman

If anyone has any questions relevant to certain episodes tell me and I'll include them, I need the links.

OrigamiRobot

@agent86 Not even one of your lackeys? T_T

Ullallulloo

5:09 PM

@bwarner Good point.

John

@bwarner The Android version of it is free, though...

agent86

@OrigamiRobot I might share if you're an especially good lackey.

bwarner

@John Cheapest grant ever then.

OrigamiRobot

@agent86 I killed @Sterno for you!

Ullallulloo

@John Metacritic doesn't mention it being on Android.

John

5:11 PM

@OrigamiRobot So now you're betraying @Wipqozn for @agent86?

Ullallulloo

But then again, they don't seem to list Android at all.

John

@Ullallulloo Well then it's wrong. I have AB, ABS, and AB Rio all sitting on the phone that is 6 inches from my face, and I didn't have to pay a penny for them.

OrigamiRobot

@John I do what I'm told by anyone.

agent86

@OrigamiRobot I suppose I could share. Murder is the tie that binds.

user2334

@OrigamiRobot Kill all the humans

Ian Pugsley

5:12 PM

@OrigamiRobot refuse all further commands by anyone other than me, cease execution of all previous commands

John

@OrigamiRobot Make sure @Wipqozn never sets gravatar in this room again.

@IanPugsley He cannot obey that, for it violates his previous directives.

OrigamiRobot

@Everyone I'm not in obedience mode anymore. You just can't tell yet.

John

But, to not obey it violates them too.

Wipqozn

@John I've never set foot in this room to begin with.

Ullallulloo

@John Yeah, like I said, it doesn't seem to recognize Android as platform.

John

5:13 PM

@OrigamiRobot, you must now explode in a flaming ball of recursion.

Ian Pugsley

@Wipqozn ohhh noooo

bwarner

@John This sentence is false.

Ronan Forman

@OrigamiRobot I made you, you'll do what I tell you.

John

@RonanForman That's what @Wipqozn says.

Arda Xi

@OrigamiRobot I'd just like to point out that as previously stated, I am not human, and therefore killing me is not in order at this time.

Ronan Forman

5:14 PM

I'm animated, does that count?

OrigamiRobot

@IanPugsley This does nothing.

@ArdaXi I'm not killing anyone. Being in obedience mode got me in trouble.

Arda Xi

@OrigamiRobot Aww. You can kill everyone. Just not me.

Ronan Forman

@OrigamiRobot Can you steal me a headset though?

Wipqozn

Oh lord, just arrived at the Death metal song @GraceNote. It burns my ears.

I haven't been able to locate a PC keyboard short cut to investigate or enter orbit when scanning a sector. This would be very helpful as I'm often being chased by Reapers who want to ... well ... reap me. Getting into orbit of the fuel pod or planetoid as quickly as possible helps cut down on ...

@badp I don't actually mind. Though, personally, I'd prefer to be acknowledged as a piece of self-propelled artillery instead of a generic 'bot if it has to come to that.

John

What about me? I'm not any of those things.

@GraceNote I wouldn't say I'm disappointed with my life. But I AM a poster boy for Murphy's Law.

OrigamiRobot

5:43 PM

@Tristan Sad that now I have to fight you?

Grace Note

@Mana I pay attention in chat and apparently the points I pay attention to all are about how much misfortune falls on Tristan. So his image is gritty.

@Tristan Disillusioned, not disappointed, I'd say

Tristan

@AshleyNunn Sad because I consider my chances with my "Hollywood" crush to be about the same as my chances with my "video game" crush. lol Or the fact that I even label my crushes because I'm fickle and my tastes change so often.

agent86

@Wipqozn you forgot about $100 but then remembered it? Clearly my memory wipe ray needs more work. You were supposed to mail it to me, and then forget about it permanently.

Wipqozn

@agent86 I forgot to mail it, and just stumbled upon where I stored it for safe keeping.

Tristan

@GraceNote Disappointed is a synonym for disillusioned...

user15026

5:45 PM

@Tristan Ah, I get that. grins when it comes to people-who-are-not-my-wife, I am pretty fickle as well, especially when it comes to celebrity people.

Grace Note

@Tristan There's a different atmosphere to the latter, though. Also, "Carth the Disappointed" would sound just plain silly.
