I am skeptical of myself, very much so. But that doesn't answer the questions I have for you, concerning your "Metaphysical Principle". You seem to ha...
I don't see how you could argue this point. An interpretation is how one explains the meaning of something. To use different words to explain somethin...
It's not off track, because your designation of "greater" might be purely subjective, and in itself off track. You might say stone is greater than wat...
I am having 'great' difficulty understanding what you tried to tell me Joe. Isn't it true that "why?" is an inquiry as to purpose? So why do you dismi...
I don't see how you can believe that what goes on in the minds of two different people, when they read the very same thing, is the same. Pass two peop...
[ As I said, I believe a theorem is literally the terms that state it. Therefore any and all theories or theorems are open to individual interpretatio...
My reply is similar to Wayfarer's, but if we go deeper you'll see that I differ significantly in opinion, from Wayfarer. As I defined "exist" as spati...
Neither is relevant to the attendant, who will get the coat either way. That's the point, the attendant doesn't even consider whether or not the thing...
Actually, Newton said his first law of motion requires the will of God. The fact that something existed in a specific way in the past, doesn't necessi...
Why don't you just say that any form of organized existence, or order in general, must be created by a mind or something mind-like? I think clearer te...
This is where Wittgenstein goes wrong with the idea of hinges. The proposition that this is a token is completely irrelevant, and not even taken into ...
Generally, "exist" is a spatial-temporal concept. To exist is to be describable in spatial-temporal terms. The concept of "real" allows for truth in r...
This is what I object to, as false, or unrealistic. Our actions do not demonstrate our certainty, and the randomness of an individual's mistakes shows...
I don't understand any of your concerns here. Laws of self-regulation exist for many industries, especially concerning safety issues. The government p...
You're not the first, if you check my history on this site, I've already been engaged in fulfilling your wishes. In mathematics we are taught to take ...
No you haven't explained. And that you say you fear I will refuse to accept your explanation, is admittance that you haven't explained, because you ar...
You can say that a line is extension, but a line only has one dimension. You can define space to be three dimensional, described by three lines in rel...
These two statements are fundamentally incompatible. If "knowledge is a success word", then success is its goal, and knowledge is reduced to justifica...
I don't see your point. The concept of "matter" is not compatible with the concept of a "line", in any conceptual scheme that I'm aware of. Simply put...
Why do you complain about the self-evident truth, and insist that it's somehow "wrong"? What qualifies as a "crime" is what the government dictates is...
I think you're missing an important point Sam. When you say "here is a broom", as a proposition, it is a proposal which may or may not be accepted. If...
I can't make sense of your post. "Matter" and "space", though related, are distinct conceptions. I don't know what you mean by matter finding space wi...
I have, there is a number of them in my family. Also, I've had numerous, (some very lengthy), discussions with mathematicians in this forum, some conc...
Correction, the bank accounts are frozen for contributing to illegal activity. That's the point of the emergencies act, it allows the government to ma...
This is not true, that's the problem. This is not what the math represents. It's just like your claim that a line is composed of an infinite number of...
That's an expected reply, which sums the attitude very well: 'money is more important than a healthy body'. Obviously the proclaimed "freedom" is not ...
No, but I've had a lot worse, I've been beaten and kicked all over my body. Believe it or not, that's what quite often happens when you protest the au...
You missed the point. Velocity, no matter how you interpret it, classically or in the modern way, implies motion. Motion implies that the thing moving...
Well Banno, I take your reply as a joke. You have put no effort into it, being afraid to look at anything which is inconsistent with what you claim. A...
No, doubt is not a language game. It is an attitude of uncertainty which does not require language for its existence. Likewise, certitude is an attitu...
I'm not saying that it's not well understood, nor am I saying that it's at all ambiguous. I'm just saying that it does not provide a real solution to ...
It is not necessarily true that God knows the future. This problem was investigated by Augustine at some length. If God can know the future, it appear...
Well, if you cannot apprehend the obviousness of the fact that any understanding of reality which you may have, is your own mind's understanding of re...
Can anyone provide a clear explanation of the difference between a hinge proposition, and a self-evident truth? That might be a good start toward unde...
Actually there is a way to settle this, and that is to understand and accept the very obvious reality, and simple truth, that consciousness is fundame...
I believe this is the mistaken simplicity which modern conceptions of space and time have fallen into. This is the result of placing pragmatic conveni...
As far as I know, no one has demonstrated an acceptable resolution to the arrow paradox. What it demonstrates is that a moment in time is incoherent i...
The application of division, fractions, ratios, is generally very problematic, and the way that conventional mathematics treats division in general is...
That's what you might think, but quite obviously "doubt" is created when the appropriate language game cannot be determined. That's what Plato demonst...
The issue with pi being an irrational ratio is not a measurement problem. It is a logical problem with the defined (mathematical) object, the circle. ...
The problem I see is with "intention". Intention is what gives causality to abstractions. We might assume that the abstractions are tools put to use i...
You should have said this right away, when I said things in the past are not in the universe. That would have saved some time, and unnecessary back an...
Do you understand a difference between "data comes from the senses", and "data is the material world"? In the former, "data" requires sensation. In th...
If hinges are defined as propositions which it is unreasonable to doubt, or, are indubitable, then there are no hinges. Each person is involved in num...
The correspondence is not with a material world, it is with an immaterial world, notice the correspondence referred to is with "data", not "a material...
