Clearly, that is what I meant.

A proof is not the mere telling about one's experience.

Let us say someone has been reading Hume's Treatise on his own for a month. He presents his ideas to another philosopher and is told Hume rejects that...

Therefore it is not a proof.

I don't. Therefore your proof is false.

Give one.

I said nothing about Hitler.

What about everything besides the topic?!

Ignorance is not an argument.

200 seriously injured police officers. Does that give you a thrill?!

Trump organized at violent attack on the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government. Liberals did not cause that.

Yes. I find their reductive materialism to be boring. Explains nothing.

Like every profession.

I do not agree.

No. I have been in academia. Many of us listen and respect each other.

Funny. I like that.

Yes, why worries about infinity are irrelevant.

Well, if it is about watching videos leave me out.

How is watching a video doing philosophy? I thought it was about presenting an argument?

Not going to. Fare thee well.

I don't see this as the two options.

Please explain. There is nothing inherently contradicting.

I never asserted the idea of an infinite universe.

To predicate is to say all is true or universal. But all events are not merely time based.

Events don't have to be quantified by an ordering system. So I never would say infinity exists.

I think of time as indeterminate here. Not "infinite" but "indeterminate."

I get stuck here. Can you explain what the problem is?

Time does not predicate existence. Too vague? I can expand.

Can you tell me? Not watching the video.

No.

No beginning, no origin.

Please say more. For example, what do you mean by "finite past?"

Yes. No such thing as dumb matter.

Like I said, I don't agree. No need to repeat ourselves.

If the universe was not caused then it is not self--caused.

Have consistently denied your characterization. Nothing more to say.,

Why?

And saying the universe is a consequence only displaces the same question--Why is there God.

I don't think so.

Why does the universe have to be caused? Not rhetorical. We know there is a universe, so why does it have to have a cause.

Good, well said. Agree with that.

You are using "hallucination" in a non-standard way. Cannot discuss the issue if you are making up definitions.

Did not understand that.

Quite the reverse. Someone who is arguing with no point is.

Hallucinations are distortions of sense perception. That is not what I was talking about.

This is a good time to do so.

I lost the point you were making.

It does.

No, that is not what "hallucination" means.

I clearly am rejecting the concept that the world was created.
