@Mr.Kennedy You're relying on experts regarding the existence of Aristotle just as much as I and others do regarding that of Socrates. Don't tell me your evidence is the name "Aristotle" on a book. Yes, there's more evidence for Aristotle's existence than for Socrates's, and therefore I myself am more confident about the former than the latter, but that is merely a quantitative difference, not a qualitative one. I simply cannot see how you can be so confident about both at once.

@Mr.Kennedy What is the obvious difference between, say, Aristotle and Socrates in this context?

@Mr.Kennedy Do you believe that Plato exited? Aristotle? Descartes? Hume? How would you empirically verify that?

@user193319 the point is simply that "the u" implies that there's only one such thing. "the u" doesn't denote a unit class, but rather it denotes its single member. Here's an example. Suppose the set u is the set of even prime numbers. It has only one member. The phrase "the even prime number" then makes sense, and it denotes the number 2. But take another set, which isn't a unit set, and it wouldn't make sense. What does "the prime number", for example, denote? It's really just a simple point.

@Isaacson This is a manifesto, not a question. As such it is not suitable for a mere Q&A site.

Keep in mind that mere logical validity will not get you very far. Debates in philosophy are almost never about validity of arguments.

Btw, do you guys know this: askphilosophers.org/comments/recent, it's a Q&A site where professional philosophers answer user submitted questions. They even answer some rather unclear questions.

I'd love to see more professionals here.

you can see that most edit reviews get 2 votes, some just 1 vote (moderator), and far less get 3.

And here's a query I just made: data.stackexchange.com/philosophy/query/521965/edit-reviews

@CamilStaps When there is disagreement there is a third reviewer, e.g. philosophy.stackexchange.com/review/suggested-edits/17179.

Also, like you said, a post can only be reviewed once by the same user. You sometimes get a combination e.g. of 'late answer' and 'first post' for the same post and you can only review one of them.

Review items can be reviewed only by a certain number of users (for edits I know it's 2), and when that number of users review the item, it disappears for others.

You seem quite prejudiced yourself @Rodrigo.

@Rodigo I'm not sure what you're objecting to. It's individual users who decide whether to nominate themselves or not. This is just an outcome of where most users are from. And by the way, and this is an important point, the moderators' job is not to do philosophy here, so their backgrounds really should not matter.

@PhilipKlöcking Seconded. I'd also like to see him continue as a moderator.

Seems about right, even though I think it's overly complicated. Anyway, on most accounts truth is independent from knowledge, so whether anybody knows something doesn't change the facts. People in the past took "the earth is flat" to be true. We now know it's false. But it's not like the earth was actually flat back then and now it isn't. The facts of the matter didn't change.
