So, you disagree with the aspects of existence, being and behaviour that I proposed - the aspect of increasing wealth? I propose that the increase in ...

Please, exactly what issue will be rendered complicated by one exercising free will?
November 09, 2025 at 14:17
The definition is from Chapter 2, on Human Perception. It requires an understanding (definition) of space-time (the sometime and somewhere of things),...

My counter claim - From my understanding of things I have found an understanding of this thing you named "God". Then, by your premise I will not be ab...
November 07, 2025 at 06:53
So a sub-system is not a system? Since Venn diagrams is simply a graphical representation of sets and their logic, you could consider sets of shared f...
November 07, 2025 at 06:35
I do not. I proposed a solution that has not been refuted, yet. The best criticism was for using the word sacrosanct which is easily replaceable with ...

By our agreed upon understanding of a system, if there is a "secondary purpose" it indicates a different system, not so?
November 06, 2025 at 05:50
Apparently philosophy does allow one's own original thoughts - as long as one does not promote yourself.
November 06, 2025 at 05:43
Perhaps, that is why I try to define the nouns I use as far as possible. For example: "Politics := A process used by humans (Class 7 systems) to propo...

I would not put the blame only on Christianity, but your point is valid, I think. Thanks to you and all other contributors.
November 06, 2025 at 05:29
Still missing the point, still using stupid examples. The mere fact that a cop must inform you of your rights, thereby granting you this entitlement; ...

I have been taught the principles of naive set theory, using Venn diagrams, when I was 10 years old - more than 50 years ago - no need of Prof. Google...
November 05, 2025 at 06:10
Sure I can I can see that you have not grasp my point, yet. Let me try and explain it more fundamentally, without the use of stupid examples: We human...

So, If I want to kick my puppy in my back-yard, you will not deny this - you will grant me this entitlement? Quite so, but then my ethics might differ...
November 04, 2025 at 08:28
Quite so, but then, unfortunately, "No Man is an Island". So, what you or I want, does not entitle us anything.
November 04, 2025 at 07:31
So, this Venn diagram that you are speaking of, does it contain such a group of parts? Then, is the purpose also in this Venn diagram or not?
November 04, 2025 at 07:11
To date I have not met or spoken with any "natural right theorist' but to my understanding there is only one natural right - the right to live - becau...

Please, who gave authority to those with authority, the electorate or your parents who taught you to respect authority - but not blindly? So these rig...

I might be able to entitle some rights to my children, for the rest I can only play some politics. Perhaps you should explain to Trump, the King of Sa...
November 03, 2025 at 06:41
I do not understand what you mean by "sub-system" because I do not understand what you mean by "system". Please share your definition of a system, the...
November 03, 2025 at 06:32
Nope, I do not see it as mysticism, rather the epitome of realism.
November 03, 2025 at 06:24
Please could you elaborate on this "time-invariant natural rights". I do not know of any such rights, perhaps give an example or two. Exactly what, ar...
November 03, 2025 at 06:20
The Laws of Nature is time-invariant. What you call "natural rights", I have defined as Rules of Man and they are time-variant.
November 02, 2025 at 13:32
I am afraid you have read me wrong. The definition of a system that I use reads as follows: System := Components (things that are) and the interaction...

I see that you have not answered my question - - I will try to be less rude. Not a cop out, no! Since I am not a US citizen, I have absolutely no infl...
November 02, 2025 at 13:12
Not much I am afraid, this thing you are speaking of has much to do about the shuffling around of vast amounts of fiat money - which has almost nothin...

It is not for me to give judgement on the people currently in the White House. I can confirm, in my opinion, that the current government in South Afri...
November 02, 2025 at 04:25
Then, please enlighten me; by whom or under what authority can a decision be made that something is morally good or not?
November 02, 2025 at 03:50
:lol: ... and who decide which humans are the good ones? By my understanding the ones currently in the White House arrived there by popular vote ...

Thank you for the conversation and for sharing your thoughts and insights with me
November 02, 2025 at 03:23
Is politics conducted on what is morally right or wrong or is what is regarded as morally right or wrong decided by what is politically expedient?
November 02, 2025 at 03:21
November 02, 2025 at 03:15
You have not answered the question: Who provided humans these rights? Not some God, not some evolution, not a cosmological endowment, but some moral r...
November 02, 2025 at 03:07
Really! Who provided humans these rights? Was it provided by some God? Is it a result of our evolution from Homo Habilis to Homo sapiens? Or some othe...

And you are part of the substrate of which gravity is a property - still subject to it. Your statement that the laws of nature have no existence has b...

Perhaps I did not explained myself properly. You are quite correct in your (above quoted) statement. I just do not know what is inside the Venn diagra...
November 01, 2025 at 06:20
Perhaps not, but it is mere politics. Quite so, unless you, diametrically, disagree with the politics of the institution that grant such an entitlemen...

Duh! Yes I can move. For this to happen I need to convert energy, because I am moving in a gravity field. Therefore still subject to the law of gravit...

What does that have to do with the laws of nature? If something is imaginary, how do we get people to agree it's real? We can't even get people to agr...
