That's an interesting comment. There must be/there'a gotta be a way of either proving/disproving solipsism, right?

You know what, my money is on Gnomon's G*D/Enformer resembling Fortuna more than YHWH!

:up: Mercie beaucoup.

No, much, much simpler, and it seems you're getting along fine with your rather quaint little project. Forget what I said, it's of no consequence.

:up: How did you know? Superb! --- The OP is quite clear on what the Triad means. Two classical and one Hegel(ian). I don't think Hegel's formulation ...

:ok: That's a reasonable way to view the situation. It's just that some would find it unsettling.

The alarm went off in the kitchen and the intruder was in the bedroom! It's amazing, nature!

Nice diagram of the visual system. There's only 1 tree of course, but the point is the representation of the tree, the image on the retina, is, well, ...

Danke, kind sir, for the link. Yep, that's what I suspected, although in a much plainer and simpler way than the great Wittgenstein thought That means...

Well, I dunno about you, but I am confused. Perhaps you need to look at the matter from a different angle, oui?

Heraclitus, now I recall, does expound the notion of the logos. How stupid of me! Trust me to remember important stuff! :groan: Anyway, what I'm worri...

Why are you starting multiple threads on the same topic? Does it mean a lot to you, this MACS? I don't think cultural norms track morality only. Sinis...

I wouldn't know mon ami. I usually try not to get confused, but it seems I am ... quite confused.

Précisément!

:ok:

:up: You seem to be on the right track given what I know.

:lol:

That is what we all agree is the case. I don't see a problem/issue except that it's what it is.

He's in a high level domain where one's mind and the thoughts its thinking can't be adequately distinguished; stuff like what he's going through is pa...

Then he's talking about something else and latched onto the nearest object so to speak.

Indeed, that is the right question? How we answer it depends on facts and how pragmatic they are.

Cultural norms may track other things as well

I would vote for you if you stood in the elections, but not because you're black.

Then America is doomed! A leader is chosen for leadership qualities and there's no correlation between the color of one's skin, gender too for that ma...

So, we're electing leaders based on sex/gender now? Barack Obama wasn't given accommodation in the White House because he was black, he was for the si...

Direct/naïve realism is easy to understand: one perceives what is actually out there (a green object is green). Indirect realism, however, posits that...

No, definitely not, that kinda stuff is above me pay grade mate, but look at the underlined term in your sentence.

:ok:

Striking resemblance to paraconsistent logic I must say. However, wouldn't the analogy work better if we take two things rather than one thing doing w...

I guess so, that could be one of the feats it accomplishes.

:lol: I'm not sure how exactly though.

Perhaps, just a wild guess, (the) mathematics (of quantum physics) is infected by (the) philosophy (of consciousness). :chin:

I have to say that's how some of us would interpret the story. The true meaning was probably lost in translation. This happens quite often I'm told. S...

Interesting to say the least, I'll click on the links when possible. Danke. 180 Proof was referring to a different aspect of holism then.

Si.

For all the fallen :flower: :death: Requiescat in pace!

:lol:

I see. That's a unique way of looking at the issue, true. Heraclitean views are quite down-to-earth and I fear I fail to see the John connection. I'm ...

I'm a (reluctant) utilitarian. It makes sense to reduce harm, but I fear that was exactly what Warsaw had in mind when it made the decision not to ced...

I intelligo mon ami! I applaud your no-nonsense approach to life. It is for people like yourself, mon ami, that I'm, unfortunately, a reluctant (a)the...

180 Proof has the exact same idea and we are getting better and better and we are very reasonable creatures.

The OP is quite clear as to why philosophers will fail ... in the quest for God. I don't know if St. Augustine was a philosopher or not, I'm not famil...

Yes, there are many, many ways we could look at it.

If you think so, yes. God is an aspect of emergence.

I try. The OP explores an interesting topic, but I'm not equippedfor the discourse.

Just what we needed, oui mon ami? Another mishap.

Please proceed.

God is ...

El Rachum! :smile:
