What about the space each world occupies? is it also identical for both worlds?
January 08, 2021 at 18:18
Do you consider the-deficiency-of-some-quality as something that exists?
January 04, 2021 at 23:21
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...

An idea of a horse is not the same as the horse. Nothingness as an idea can exist, nothingness itself cannot.
December 31, 2020 at 01:42
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...

That is doughnutlessness.
December 30, 2020 at 16:57
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...

What produces the thought waves?

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...

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...
December 08, 2020 at 20:34
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...
December 08, 2020 at 19:26
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...

Or maybe there are better benefits when you expand without annexing?
November 11, 2020 at 00:54
Unless there is an expansionist agenda, of course. In this case, you should have the guts to declare war, invade, conquer, and annex.

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...

Then I think you should be fighting for a world unified under the same flag.

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 ...
November 10, 2020 at 21:56
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...

Reality is a wavefront?
October 28, 2020 at 00:32
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 ...
October 27, 2020 at 20:05
TheMadFool makes a good point. In a set of repetitions/cycles, every repetition is different from each other. They differ by succession.
October 27, 2020 at 05:57
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...
