Liseye kadar lakabım 'Sarı' idi. Sarışınları görünce kumral olduğumu farkettim. Okudukça tenim karardı. Başlarda karabudun bir esmere dönüştüm. Şimdi kapkara bir ZENCİyim.

ad hominem HamlesiFelsefe
"Kişiye yönelik" anlamına gelen Latince bir deyimdir. Bazen karışıklığa yol açan iki ayrı anlamda kullanılır (bkz. belirsizlik). Kişiselleştirme
maddesinde ele aldığım ve yaygın olarak kullanılan dolambaçlı bir tar-
tışma hamlesine, yani konuyu saptırarak dikkati söylenen sözden, sözü söyleyenin ilgisiz bir yönüne çekme hamlesine işaret eder. Böyle yapan birinin hamlesinin ad hominem olduğunu söylemek bir eleştiridir, yani tartışmacının kişiliği ve davranışlarının tartışılan konu ile ilgisinin olmadığı anlamına gelir.

ad hoc EklemelerFelsefe
"Bir hipotezi (bkz. hipotez) sonradan ortaya çıkabilecek yeni gözlem ya
da veriler ile uyumlu hale getirmek için yapılan eklemeler. Eğer hipote-
ziniz ortaya çıkan yeni bir gerçeği açıklayamıyorsa, bu durumda yapabile-
ceğiniz iki şey vardır: Ya hipotezden vazgeçersiniz ya da genel hipotezi-
nize bu yeni durumu açıklayacak ad hoc eklemeler yaparsınız. Bir hipote-
ze böyle yamalar yapmak bazı durumlarda kabul edilebilse bile genelde
iyi bir şey değildir. Örneklere bakarak bu durumu daha iyi anlayabiliriz."

"You’re in a garden where you know there is a pond. There’s a
splash and some shouting. You realize that a young child has
fallen in and may be drowning. What do you do? Do you walk
by? Even if you’d promised to meet a friend and stopping would
make you late, you’d surely treat the child’s life as more impor-
tant than being on time. The pond is quite shallow, but very
muddy. You’ll ruin your best shoes if you help. But don’t expect
other people to understand if you don’t jump in. This is about
being human and valuing life. A child’s life is so much more
valuable than any pair of shoes, even a very expensive pair.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is some kind of monster. You’d
jump into the water, wouldn’t you? Of course you would. But
then you’re also probably rich enough to prevent a child in
Africa from dying of hunger or of a curable tropical disease.
That probably wouldn’t take much more than the price of the
shoes you’d be prepared to ruin by saving the child in the pond."
Can Computers Think?

Alan Turing and John SearleFelsefe
"You’re sitting in a room. There is a door into the room with a
letterbox. Every now and then a piece of card with a squiggle
shape drawn on it comes through the door and drops on your
doormat. Your task is to look up the squiggle in a book that
is on the table in the room. Each squiggle is paired with
another symbol in the book. You have to find your squiggle in
the book, look at the symbol it is paired with, and then find
a bit of card with a symbol that matches it from a pack in the
room. You then carefully push that bit of card out through your
letterbox. That’s it. You do this for a while and wonder what’s
going on."
Fairness through Ignorance

John RawlsFelsefe
"Perhaps you’re wealthy. Perhaps you’re super-rich. But most of
us aren’t, and some people are very poor, so poor that they
spend most of their short lives hungry and sick. This doesn’t
seem fair or right – and it surely isn’t. If there were true justice
in the world no children would starve while others have so
much money that they don’t know what to do with it. Everyone
who is sick would have access to good medical treatment. The
poor of Africa wouldn’t be so much worse off than the poor in
the USA and Britain. The rich of the West wouldn’t be so many
thousand times as rich as those who through no fault of their
own were born into disadvantage. Justice is about treating
people fairly. There are people around us whose lives are filled
with good things, and others who, through no fault of their
own, get few choices about how they survive: they can’t choose
the job they do, or even the town where they live. Some people
who think about these inequalities will just say, ‘Oh well, life’s not fair’ and shrug their shoulders. These are usually the ones
who have been particularly lucky; others will spend time
thinking about how society could be better organized and
perhaps try to change it to make it fairer."
