Heracloitus

Perhaps you should say my book, since you are the author :wink:

nevermind

You haven't provided anything of substance. Lots of opinionated fluff and vague assertions.

Traditionalist in the sense of Guénon, Evola, Schuon etcetera?

@"180 Proof" interesting. A quibble: I think the advaita vendantists actually posit an eternal, unchanging self. As opposed to the Buddhists. @"Wayfar...

If I understand it correctly this insight is something which can only be realised (by direct non-conceptual, unmediated experience) through a practice...

Thanks @"unenlightened" @"Wayfarer" Your answers are very helpful. I need to spend some more time on this.

Exactly the result to be expected from a large language model AI was not even created to do philosophy. It's completely irrelevant to consider whether...

Sounds Bergsonian. Actual movement is indivisible but the mathematical modelling of movement is infinitely divisible.

Circles, squared.

I don't see why you put Witty on a pedestal. It's well known that he was an awful person. How do you know he led such an "examined life"?

You can actually. Many books on internet archive (one example website of many) are borrow only. Meaning that access to a particular ebook is time limi...

Waves don't think.

I don't think you understand how much money it costs to host a service like chatgpt. Iirc 5 days after it opened to the public it had over a million u...

Chatbot-GPT is a useful tool that I see replacing the current state of search engines. I've been using chatgpt as a way to get more understandable c++...

Oh yeah. Well that's a shame..

Which thread?

It's good to have a free-for-all section.

Interesting

Truly ineffable

It's the distinction between logical truth and soundness that often feels wrong.

Who am I under normal circumstances?

There's middle-ground.

Absolutely. It's not flawless but it gives accurate enough output to be useful. The same way Google translate is flawed yet useful to language learner...

LP is correspondence gone wrong. Astrology is coherentism gone wrong.

I don't follow how you can say: X exists in the mind ? X doesn't exist How is it therefore, that we make use of something that doesn't exist (numbers)...

Numbers?

Hey! That's what I said (Frege and Russel were in concurrence here). I tend to agree with this line of thinking.

Consideration of concepts (or their status) is perhaps relevant in the analysis of the existence predicate. Frege maintained that existence wasn't a f...

You just don't understand the clucks.

But science is useful. Phenomenology is philosophically unproductive and useless.

I'm still learning about normal logic systems, but yep interesting stuff. Has been applied in computer science (true, false and undefined). Another ex...

Tertium non datur

Right but isn't the fact that it has no referent due to the context-sensitive nature of the proposition? 'Present king of france' seems to be a tempor...

Are there any logical systems dealing with indexicals?

This ineffable thread surely is effing along nicely

Yep there is nothing quite like this trilogy.

Redness is always experienced as an attribute of a particular. Voilà, I said something about the experience of red.

Yeah time is modular on a 12-hour clock.

Nice to see this show up here. I have the whole set of Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. One of my favourite antiheroes :smile:

Dude, your mountains have nipples.

@"keystone" You might be interested in Norman Wildberger on YouTube. He seems to hold positions on infinity similar to yours.

Babies are not as stupid as you think

Damn it's shame wayfarer has left. Enjoyed reading his posts.

Well yes Buddhists do not typically accept Jesus as their lord and saviour. If you want to make the case that Buddhism pulls one towards Christianity ...

I've lurked this forum since it's inception and have seen many of streetlights interactions with others over the years. The fact is that street often ...
