Ø implies everything

I think that would be good too. I am creating a foundation to come back to, yet I haven't committed to anything that needs maintenance, so I'm at the ...

Why are most not suited for it, and to what degree are they not suited for it?

@"Joshs" I like your theory, though we may disagree as to what degree one might exercise this freedom, at least in the bureaucratic, legal and occupat...

Definitely relevant, but not an answer. Could you elaborate?

You seem to have forgotten about forgetting. What if your consciousness has existed forever as base reality, yet simply forgotten most of its existenc...

Kinda; though 1/\infty is only a number within the hyperreals and other such extensions of the reals (like the surreals, to which you linked). Okay, s...

No, the distance is the length of the line, which is explicitly not the line itself. A line is an object of geometry; its length is merely a number co...

Here's a way to conceptualize the density of things in an infinite volume, granted that the things in-question are evenly distributed: \displaystyle D...

Why would they need their own page? They could just pick any page for themselves, being solipsist(s) and all.

Not sure what you mean. I never claimed that the Platonic realm exists, although by talking about it, it seems I'm implying it exists. However, I only...

If a curve is made of infinitely many points, then it is is made of infinitely many pairs of consecutive points. A straight line is defined as two poi...

What you are proposing is that actual space is quantized. I believe this too. Yes, and a curved line is a collection of infinitely many straight lines...

This is a great question; both the concrete and the general. Be more confident :) Now, which is more ultimate, in the sense of (in)dependency? In the ...

Given your post (which I have read in its entirety now), I assume you mean the issue with the Homunculus is that the information that reaches us never...

I didn't read your entire post because I found it overly complicated. If you tell me my response shows a lack of understanding of the essence of your ...

No, because what I wrote next only agrees with the quotation marks. Turing machines might not reason the way we do; thus, whatever their equivalent is...

Turing machines are material. If they can "reason" without some immaterial force, why can't we? I'm not saying our reasoning is identical (see Penrose...

In this comment, it seemed like you thought the distinction wasn't there, due to the fact that nothing is at rest. After I explained that it does not ...

I would say the restlessness of all things does not matter. In any quantum/instant of time, every object stands still, yet it still has OSE. Unless yo...

I see what you mean, but I think you would be passing on higher-quality (but perhaps less) knowledge if you switched to my strategy, which involves ex...

Yes, agreed. But that is merely motion-temporal-extension (MSE). The question is, does consciousness have object-temporal-extension (OSE). In the abov...

Let's forget about time as a dimension, in order to simplify things to the more comprehensible spatial dimension. Let's say I have a chair; if I throw...

Interesting. I will have to read up on them. Do you believe in their views on this matter?

I see. But for us others, could you expand on how the fact that our phenomenal reality is supposedly caused by/represents a physical reality in the pa...

Yes, I agree they are complicating factors but your original comment did not make their relevance to Art's post clear. Perhaps we just have a differen...

Where you live is, in part, your perception of that light right now.

Please define your use of legitimate here.

Could you point to any sources? I know Thomas Reid held a direct realist notion of memory. To him, every memory was the apprehension of the actual pas...

Are you saying the past is immanent in the present through influence, or are you saying the past and present actually co-occur? If the latter, you are...

The debate about what masculinity/femininity is, and what real men/women are, is often confused by people talking past each other. Some derive masculi...

I have been exploring this as well. As you can see in my bio, I am (and have been) trying to epistemically bridge the chasm of time, and if the above ...

I am not familiar with the book you mention. However, if you think potentiality is a cause, then randomness does not imply any uncaused event.

Are you implying the Four Color theorem is an example not within the scope of too lengthy for humans to go through? An exhaustive proof where the case...

Depends on what you call uncaused. Is the potential for something a cause?

I know, but I read between the lines. I know how you look at Jamal ;)

Thanks, the thread is really interesting :)

A bit generous to call yourself an artist?

Ah I see. Any reason for why Hypatia was chosen? Have other philosophers been the "mascot" (if I may call it that) of the forum?

Can't believe I haven't asked yet: who is the owner of the face next to the site's name?

I have some thoughts on random versus determined events that are a bit too tied up in my theory to be laid out here. But I can respond to your comment...

How is randomness incompatible with an idealistic reality?

It seems you are talking about epistemological idealism. I do not see how what you say necessitates the sole existence of the mental. Instead, it only...

I have not heard the term epistemologically motivated ontological idealism outside of my own usage either, just to let you know that it isn't (necessa...

I know; I did not claim that you did either. Instead, I just disagreed with your belief that naturalism is the most common-sensical notion by claiming...

Could you elaborate? Do you mean their theorems/concepts would have so many steps/components that it would take longer than a lifetime for a human to ...

He didn't really seem like a philosopher to me, from the little I saw of his comments.

Understandable, sleep well :) I don't think so either, but the question was, do you think automation poses the danger of pushing the threshold of stim...

Ah, I see. What kinds of insights have you gained, if you're willing to share?

You raise other issues with automation. But often neglected is the issue of automating away tasks that we currently find boring. I see it as a slipper...

What do you work as now, if I may ask?
