You're barking up the wrong tree. That there are different Gods, one or many for every culture, is irrlevant. God or gods, in whichever culture fae/th...

1. You're assuming that such a photo can be taken i.e. you're begging the question. 2. Take an everyday photograph, say, of mount Fuji. Obviously, you...

It seems there's been a slight confusion. Entirely my fault. Apologies. There are two roles God fulfills viz. 1) legisilator (maker of laws) and 2) ju...

I think this definition of truth is too narrow, I would even go so far as to say that you're guilty of anthropocentrism by restraining truth to human ...

I don't want to spoil it for you but, if you ask me, an image isn't the object it's an image of or as @"180 Proof" might've said, the map isn't the te...

I maybe way off the mark but I've always felt that the difference between the mind (humans) and mindless life (bacteria) is greater ergo, harder to ex...

That works for me. Well put! What's interesting though is to become successful survival engines, living organisms must be truth engines. To assume oth...

:smile: :ok:

Thanks for the advice! :up:

:up: G'day.

Don't mistake the sign for the referent.

Adam, Eve, The Serpent, The Tree Of Knowledge, Original Sin. You do the math.

Religion reminds me of an old movie in which the villain and the hero are having a verbal duel, a prelude to 5 minutes of no holds barred fighting Vil...

:sad: When it comes to being good, one's IQ is a hindrance! Buddhism is about pure compassion come hell or high water! Can't think/reason your way out...

:clap: This kinda paradoxical situation arises precisely when we lack definitive answers to questions in a given area/subject/discipline. Why is it a ...

The Brain May Actively Forget In Dream Sleep (NIH) We all have our own little problems.

Unfortunately, possible. Nevertheless, the brain, as a precautionary measure, might want to forget dreams so that we don't confuse them with the real....

Please do but only if you feel like it though. TonesInDeepFreeze seems intelligent and well-read but his playing style is more brute force like the De...

Well, good advice Wayfarer. Truth be told, the contents of my post is drawn in full from the video in your OP. It's all in the video.

For the nth time, your post isn't a rebuttal.

You seem to be contradicting yourself. First set your own house in order is advice that I've been given and have heeded. I suggest a similar course of...

Thank you for your time. G'day.

Thanks for asking this question. It just popped into my head why we can't remember our dreams. There's a very good reason for that. First some context...

Well, let's you tell us how Gödel's argument works. C'mon. Out with it!

Sorry sir/madam, as the case may be but I just remembered that I wanted to start a thread in a similar vein centered around the quote below, Doestevsk...

Now, hold on a minute. The post I made is clear and to the point and captures the essence of Cantor's views on infinity. Indeed, any ideas why Kroenec...

And now I know you don't know what an analogy is. You're assuming things. Whatever you said doesn't qualify as a rebuttal and thus I had to restate my...

The key statement in Gödel's argument is: This sentence is unprovable. The "argument" A (Adele) proceeds as follows, 1. If this sentence is provable t...

I admit it's possible that there's more of me in my post about infinity than Cantor. Nevertheless, I'm fairly confident that what I wrote would've bro...

You're barking up the wrong tree. The choice of number 2 is irrelevant to my argument. The analogy is perfect for describing the silliness/inanity/vac...

You haven't addressed it and that's why I'm restating it. The analogy is perfect. There's a precise 1-to-1 correspondence between 2 and K, creating th...

My best guess is that the controversy regarding the existence/nonexistence of infinities, their categorization as potential and actual, the former bei...

Sorry, I beg to differ. K =/= {K}. I gave you a very good reason. Please address the proof. I'll restate it here for your viewing pleasure. 1. There's...

Perhaps dreams aren't really dreams, a statement that makes complete sense since some have voiced the opinion that reality, our waking experience, isn...

A set can't contain itself. Period! Suppose K can't be contained in another set like so {K}, any attempt to do so will result in K. The set that alleg...

:ok:

Of course, of course, there are many possibilities, all of which could be true either alone or in some intriguing combination. Until the truth is disc...

Indeed, you're correct. We must reduce the symbol set's size to a minimum. Ambiguity must be eliminated at all cost I suppose and that's gonna affect ...

In other words, your claim is To be good -> To believe in God Sorry to disappoint you but it looks like you're wrong because the contrapositive, To no...

I hear you, I hear you, old chap (I really hope "old chap" is appropriate) :lol:

Ok. I present below an argument in two symbolic versions, one in plain English and the other using logical notation, of the same argument. In English ...

I had this strange thought a coupla days ago. I'm myopic, both literally and figuratively, and without my glasses, I only see extremely blurred images...

You crack me up! I have very few reasons to laugh. Thanks for giving me one and that too free of charge. I guess as Po says in Kungfu Panda, "there is...

Food for thought: REM sleep (dreams) if not interrupted results in total failure to recollect one's dreams. Why is that? Dreams are about familiar obj...

There seems to be a wide variety of hypotheses, confirmed or tentative, about dreams. Speaking for myself, drawing from personal experience, dreams te...

I went through the Wikipedia page on teleportation and it says that teleportation would violate Newton's laws but I don't know how and it really doesn...
