So I was having an argument with my friend the other day and he contended that an S4 system is not too strong, but I think that allowing for transitivity realtionships across worlds is too strong and thought that S1 is more appropriate. Anyone able to give us some help on this, he's obviously stupid but I need to show him that I'm not the only one who thinks so.

P.S. all of you are wantons, but not in the derogatory sense, but in the good way.

PPS. conversational implicature should not be used to limit the scope distinction of the above statement.

Thanks a bunch guys!

Has any philosophy argument ever been settled?

In response to what I assume is a debate about
the combinatorial-hamiltonian systems of nature.
What are you trying to model whats your functional context?


Science - Makes useable models, by simplifying the impossibly complex real phenomenon enough so that the target audience can understand enough to make practical use of the modal.

Pop-Science - Takes superficially tempting ideas and justifies them by creating impossibly complex models so that the target audience cannot find the fallacies in them. Haven help anyone who finds a way to use them.

Science Fiction – Takes a superficially tempting idea and makes an enjoyable story out of it.

Religion – Makes psychologically reassuring models, with the intention of improving the quality of life of the target audience. Usability not correspondence with reality is the justification.

hey love smarten up you pointing out that i think the stupid [censored] yall say on this forum is ridiculious in refrence to when i called some insufferable jackass who deceides to post something as asinine as "I thought nothing is settled in philosophy" IS NOT a clap back. if you are going to clap love remember try to make it relevent dont just reiterate the point that yall dont think clearly by pointing out that you dont even know how to make fun of someone. good hustle though bud.

are you talking about possible worlds theories, or maybe modal logic models? i cant really tell from what you've written.
