BIV
Noun
Meaning
BIV
(philosophy) Initialism of brain in a vat.
Examples
If I am a BIV, then, when I say "I am not a BIV", it is true (because "brain" and "vat" would only pick out the brains and vats being simulated, not real brains and real vats).
If I am not a BIV, then when I say "I am not a BIV", it is true.
One way to use this in a response to skepticism is to apply the same strategy to the terms used in a skeptical argument in the following way (DeRose, 1999 ): Either I am a BIV, or I am not a BIV.
Other examples are the phrase "Run over your granny because it's violent" or the imaginary name "Roy G. Biv".
How can viewers watch the Bell Biv DeVoe concert?
While the clubs aren’t exactly packed right now due to the pandemic, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume that tracks like “Outta My Mind” featuring a Bell Biv Devoe flip, and “Slow Flow” could find their way to some speakers.
