A stage theorist and a worm theorist walk into a bar. "What can I get you?" asks the bartender. The stage theorist says: "Nothing for me, but someone else who looks exactly like me will have a dry martini; and nothing for the worm guy - he hasn't finished his previous drink yet"
"Consistency" understood syntactically is a very fragile and a very language dependent relation. Consistency understood as "truth in a possible model" sounds pretty "modal" already. "Consistency" is a modality.
Such a valuable channel. I hope even the hardcore in philo watch and take time to comment.
I liked parts of this video and I also liked the whole video.
Fascinating

Seems like this appeal to “common sense” is doing a lot of lifting.
Read G.E Moore's paper, titled 'A defense of Common Sense', a significant paper on epistemology.
