How about, it’s not merely beyond comprehension. There are things we can say about God. Can you accept that? It would seem you could if you were askin...
Yes. People “ask questions” without any sense of actual curiousity. The reason the faithful beat this dead horse is because belief in God is attached ...
I know. So what is a “self”? How is it that “you” and “me” are having this exchange; unless there is an identifiable “self” in each of us in which thi...
This is off. And I’m not judging you or your beliefs. I’m saying I, as a Catholic (if you are interested in how Catholics think) would never say it th...
Anything that defies logic is the definition of impossible. Miracles are impossible, for instance. If there was an explanation, they might not be mira...
I’m sure you understand the concepts. Because you are picking them apart with logical precision. God is one being. But in this God, He is with Himself...
Life is full of peril. Trinity or not. God the son told me his father and he are one God. It’s a bitch. I think it’s everyone’s preconceived notions o...
However it looks, I’m sure we’ve all been there on the outside of some impossible question with some subject - I’m sure there is mystery in your life ...
Well, I agree it is impossible to simply grasp the Trinity, especially when trying to do so in a math class or a logic class. But when two Christians ...
I think we might discover a way to understand something (namely, being/becoming), that does not linguistically look rational. Meaning, the way we norm...
I think people who find themselves in opposition about God questions might actually show a bit more support for each other’s perspectives. Set Theory ...
That’s two totally different questions 1. Can we see the meaning in the text? 2. Would we fool ourselves that a reasoning we imposed on the text was i...
Like in order to have a single open and honest discussion, we have to first have half of such a discussion, and before that, half of that half…until w...
Yes. Leon’s unconscious entities are neutral and just need to be brought to the fore. Leon is pointing to “what”. Joshs unconscious entities are the “...
We now seem to be discussing how to discuss “How to develop methods of discussion” with a sub-topic “methods of discussing wokeness” (and a hope that ...
Ok - so invisible gravity has been replaced by space which stretch and compressed etc can be measured. Like things can be measured. Ok, I sit correcte...
But “arena” has to be analogy - it’s not an actual arena. It’s not like “space” can be a “thing-in-itself” like an arena is a thing. So I’m not trying...
Totally interesting video and great teacher. Will watch more videos. So now that gravity isn’t a force, what the hell is space- time (with a curvature...
Maybe, but without judging the value of the things being stretched, just to judge the length of the stretch: is the above stretch between a man taking...
I agree. There is the “Ship of Theseus” paradox -if you replace one board on a ship, it’s still the same ship; but if over time you replace all of the...
I am sorry but I hate this problem. Why would anyone assume the Star Trek transporter could ever possibly work? If one assumed it could possibly work,...
This is all very clarifying, but I think I disagree with some of the distinctions being made. I would say judgments take account of emotions, but I do...
I think my position is less clear than that. I would say that reasoning is an act of the will and the intellect. A synonym for “to reason” would be “t...
That should have been more plainly said by the critic of the critique/assessment. Are you trying to be woke about criticizing wokeness? True. So maybe...
That’s an interesting way to frame the question. I am totally interested in what you think something like this is. I can’t imagine how to go from what...
That’s what I’m getting at with the comment about the lack of wisdom. The emotional response to systemic power differences usurps good judgement. ADDE...
I agree - I am more analyzing the effects caused by wokeness, than I am getting to heart of what it is, what drives the emergence of these effects. I ...
Love it. I find this actually flows from Heraclitus: 1. Harmony/tension, flows from 2. this, and 3. Its opposite. (And of course he acknowledged the l...
That is brilliant. For all to be swept up in becoming, ALL cannot be swept up in becoming. We have to put a pin in the intuitive notion that “all is f...
@"AmadeusD" I finally get it (I think). You are looking for woke criteria. You are saying to the Board “we need to appoint a new member and want to ma...
This is a great way into the issues, and interesting analysis of being/becoming. Language forces our thoughts into certain shapes, that force us to th...
I am not disagreeing with you or with the excerpt. This is a language problem, not a misconstruing of what things are (and what things are not). We sh...
Next top surfer title has to be - “The Chairman” Or do we allow men and women to compete together and name the victor “The Chairperson”. The trophy ca...
I don’t know - if there is no miracle coming, and life was intentionally inflicted on us, then maybe it can’t be justified. If life is a big accident,...
I didn’t mean to imply abandoning the experiment. I guess I’m saying it needs more structure (in my eyes) to ensure it is even related to wokeness, an...
An object, exists. An object has an ontology. The mind knows objects, so it makes sense to say the mind is therefore other than objects; the mind is n...
Okay, but you need to cash this out. What does this have to do with wokeism? Are you demonstrating how woke thinkers think, or are you coming to a wok...
@"Antony Nickles". I think we are trying. Yes. Instead of talking about some thing, we end up talking about how to talk. I fully admit the criteria an...
That’s what I was saying. I don’t know that we have any idea of what people did in a time before political and moral interaction, community narratives...
I’d say 95% of human history covers hundreds of thousands of years possibly, and we have scant evidence of what the moment to moment lives of those in...
Well since you say things you don’t mean like “humanity is evil by nature” and then don’t explain why anyone needs to know that or how it might relate...
That’s a funny joke. Right? I mean, not so much “haha!” funny, but sort of “hmmm, I think he is kidding around” funny. It’s a form of mockery, if you ...
I don’t know how to deny any of that, but then there is the notion of self-reflection. Experience is what the mind does, and in that sense the mind mu...
@"Leontiskos" Huge. So secondary things placed first is key to wokism. Or, wokeness aims to reduce fixed hierarchical power stratification. So much wo...
