Is this supposed to be a true statement?

What if the universe has symmetry but is not all symmetric. In this scenario not every thing would require to have an opposite even if some things do.
June 27, 2021 at 22:39
I was reading your last post and the following question came up: Is reality a changing thing?I believe that there must be one and only one "REALITY"* ...

A limited thing? :)
June 05, 2021 at 00:28
Well, it is the universal of "difference" which really intrigues me. If a state of existence where only one particular/entity exists could be possible...
June 05, 2021 at 00:02
I believe all things that are real are particulars, although I might be wrong. And that's assuming that ideas are real (a unicorn may not be real in t...

Well, it seems to me that many things (if not all things) come in discrete packages; all objects we can perceive, directly (i.e., your computer, your ...

To me, real is anything that has a limit - either in space OR time. Reality would be the set of all things that have a limit (in space OR time).

Yeah I guess that's one. The shape of things/objects I'd say is also an example of limits that is not dependent on reason. The terminal velocity of a ...

I do not entirely agree with you. Some limits are man-made, that's true, but some exist independently of reason. Don't you think?

or the plane exists only if there is more than one point? otherwise, it's just a point (no space)

Only relative to a reference point? (the question is genuine) I am not sure, but I would say the circle occupies a space in the plane only if a refere...

You are right; although I am trying to look at the relationship between limits and space from the point of view of space. For example, imagine a limit...

I should have thought of that.... silly me. Fortunately, you and your intelligence are here to save me from my stupidity.

How are you able to tell someone's patience runs out quicker than someone else's?

To me, it was wanting to know what created God, what the beginning of everything is, if there is one.

You and I are connected. This discussion is proof enough. And we are connected to everything else that exists in addition to us, everything. We are ex...

It can. When you classify things into categories, I think you are breaking down existence into its composites. I would describe existence as the prese...
April 02, 2021 at 00:07
Existence is the set that has the property of containing all existing things. No?
April 01, 2021 at 23:06
Then "the whole" does not exist, and composites are composites of nothing.
April 01, 2021 at 23:00
What if the limit is intrinsic to existence? what if it limits itself?
April 01, 2021 at 21:40
What about space and time? are they not existence (and I meant "existence")? An existence without extent and duration would be necessarily static. Don...

Are laws an agreement between human beings and an institution, or are they an agreement between human beings?

I can prove that I know math if I can teach someone how to do math (properly).

They can! they are omnipotent.

They could destroy each other; they are omnipotent.

That they can does not mean that they will.

January 29, 2021 at 01:58
How do you know an omnipotent being is omnipotent when it could be not-omnipotent?
January 29, 2021 at 01:48
So, an omnipotent being could be not-omnipotent (at the same time). Right?
January 29, 2021 at 01:46
Could an omnipotent being do something that is both logical and illogical?
