Do both parts of the ying-yang always exist? Are they opposites which have existence as a constantly common characteristic, or could one of the opposi...
I would say that the "no-thing" you are referring to is empty space which is something in itself (correct me if I am wrong). The nothingness I am refe...
No. The post is about the impossibility of a state deprived of existence as the reason for which there is a state populated with existing things. A st...
I guess you could. We could describe a scenario in which this conversation between you and me will never happen; since the conversation already took p...
The post is not about nothingness; I thought I made it clear it cannot exist. All I said was that the reason there is stuff all around us instead of n...
The universe arose out of necessity since nothingness cannot exist. To be is to have a limit, and there is nothing that has no limit since any state o...
I have always ask myself in what form a signal transduction event that's been initiated at one of our senses ends (what is the final form of a signal ...
Every possible thought must be thought at some point in time (otherwise would not be a possible one). This would require that things that think and th...
The ability to compare between two different phenomena. Before we can compare the two different phenomena, we must perceive them. To perceive, what's ...
Because creation and destruction are terms relative to human perception. That is, we say something is created when its parts, previously separated, ga...
That we could not detect change does not mean it would not exist. Electrons existed before being detected. The Earth existed before human perception e...
Why not? Edit: by that I am asking you what's a reason change could not exist independently of consciousness? To answer your question, if I understand...
Change is change, nothing else. Creation and destruction are forms given to change by human perception, as you said here: In the same way, good is a t...
From a developmental point of view, I'd say we appear to our bodies, first . There must be something that is capable of being aware before one realize...
A society in which every kind of behaviour is allowed without any kind of repercussion other than the immediate risks of performing the behaviour and ...
And for the time being, I think the sovereignty of each country should be respected. It is the moral obligation of oppressed people to liberate themse...
Nothing gives a government or group of people the moral right to intervene in the internal affairs of another country other than a direct attack or a ...
If the future is necessary for there to be a past, there is an origin of time, but there cannot be an end of time. Past without a future = the ending ...
Nice idea you have here although I am confused about a couple things. Would the proposition above require the existence of an origin to be valid? In o...
Could be. But what still troubles me is the fact (I think it is a fact) that every repetition in a cyclic event varies from the one before or the one ...
So, the ability to produce a self (to come up with a sense of self) is intrinsic to the individual, but that the individual produces a self is depende...
Hey, I think that if you want to make testable hypotheses about the evolution of ideas, it'd be required to find a measurable representation of ideas....
I don't think the United States of America is the most powerful nation in the world anymore; and if it is, it won't be such by much longer. I might be...

I don't think natural reason demands the rejection of incoherent propositions. Incoherent propositions are rejected when proven incoherent. Therefore,...
I don't think it is possible to know to certainty if this is a simulation or not (if it is, respects to whatever is responsible for it; if it isn't, t...
That's exactly what I am saying. If the world of dreams is part of the material world, then the former must be as real as the latter. However, they ar...
I perfectly distinguish the mental world from the material world... I think; all I am saying is that if I am part of the material world and dreams (an...
I think the difference is that reality is independent of dreams while dreams are not independent of reality. The dependancy of dreams on reality makes...
I'd say anything that has the capacity/ability/power to affect the self directly or indirectly is real independently of it being perceivable (by the b...
