Seriously, luck's on your side and/or you know exactly which words to type into the search box if every search you do takes you to high quality materi...

First off, thank you for the video. It's uncanny, you know, how you seem to be able to find good quality videos on the www and by quality I'm not refe...

You deserve the honor then. :smile:
June 03, 2021 at 02:31
I don't see how that's possible. p v ~p is a tautology and if, as you claim, both can be false as in ~p &~~p, we get the contradiction ~p & p. Again, ...

Google Translate :sweat: You seem to know Latin, enough at least to find error when others commit them. :up: Will make the required corrections in my ...

Why? Are you expecting a gift?
June 02, 2021 at 15:58
But you don't have to, right?

adjective, noun? :chin:

Atlantis syndrome? That desperate huh? Ok! I am. What about floods, hurricanes, earthquakes?

You can sit down. It's much easier to correct if you do.

On behalf of Janus, thanks!

Interesting. Do couples want more than 3 children?

No! Go on! Are you sure? You're on to something there.
June 02, 2021 at 15:33
You mean to say I don't have to look for a solution! Yaay! :up: You make me look like a moron but I've never felt so proud of being one! Let's strip t...

Really? Exactly? Why not? I don't recall there being a moratorium on wandering. Are you sure? Have you ever thought why?

And if it is... More benefits! I say, more and more benefits. :rofl: Gift shit!? https://youtu.be/zyNyHark4xk

:up: :clap: And so... Indeed, let's not discuss death but how many deaths and how the deaths were brought about. Something tells me we're in a whole l...

Bravo! :up: I thought it was Play fair! Beats me! Immortal being the key word! Worms irrelevant unless one is being parasitized by eternal helminths. ...

Great question and I don't have a good answer but for what it's worth, I offer my own point of view below. It can be said that both time and space are...
June 02, 2021 at 08:07
This question has an underlying inconsistency. When you assume "...the universe was infinite towards the past...", you shouldn't be asking "...since w...

Infinite Regress. :up: Bravo! :up: The proof that an infinite amount of time has passed rests, in my humble opinion, on the proposition that the past ...
June 02, 2021 at 05:57
Precisely. The underlying assumption that leads to us thinking that stories of days past are myths i.e. are hyperbole/meiosis is that how it's now is ...

https://youtu.be/i0ZFkm5D9C8 A fresh, unprejudiced perspective is supposed to be healthy, right? :grin:
June 01, 2021 at 22:02
It appears this "world" or "universe" isn't a simulation after all. Infinite computing power is required for an infinite past. I don't know if I shoul...

I'm afraid you misunderstood me or did I not get what you're saying? The past is infinite and an actual infinity at that; after all, we're at some poi...
June 01, 2021 at 20:47
For what it's worth, to think there's a problem with an infinite past in the sense such can't be for the simple reason that infinite anything can't be...

I'll fight by your side anytime. Show me the enemy Jack! :rofl:

You won't! :up:
June 01, 2021 at 12:05
It's hard to not think that way. Therein lies the rub.

You are not like the rest of us. :smile:

If I were a nonphysicalist, I would say, "this is exactly what I'm talking about. The so-called physical world can't be ignored unless you want to end...
June 01, 2021 at 10:20
Excellent! So, you're saying there are 3 things at play: 1. G/g exists/not 2. Belief in G/g 3. Claims about the world that can be verified/disconfirme...

This appears self-contradictory. Theism is true iff G/g exists and false iff G/g doesn't exist. It doesn't seem possible to separate them in any meani...

There are two ways of looking at possibility and they are, 1. Nonmathematically: Suppose I roll a die that has two 6's instead of one 6 like standard ...
