Metaphysician Undercover

I didn't say anything about dipping below zero. Where did you get that idea from? I said it doesn't ever get any closer to zero. There is always an in...

Actually I referred to 6:26, when he says one over infinity, that's zero. Let's remove this necessity of a "real number", maybe that's what's misleadi...

So, what do you think? How long until he's in jail?

This is not really what I'm saying. What I mean is that if the value on the x axis, or y for that matter, is proposed as infinite, then it is wrong to...

Wow, someone who actually understands. Of course it's a fictitious object. Because it cannot be measured. That's what infinite means.

If the extension is infinite, the volume cannot be figured. You can only figure the volume by assuming that there is an end, a limit, and this is roun...

I see that we have a fundamental difference of opinion concerning the logic of spatial areas. I think that it is illogical to believe that a 3d spatia...

Well you distinctly said it was a presumption. "Those presumptions are based on the fact that the quantity of the surface are "on the outside" is infi...

Freemasonry may have played a role in the separation between church and state. However, that separation ought to be viewed as a revolt against the aut...

Evidence That subjectivity is a very real aspect of language use?

This is where your mistaken. The paradox assumes a spatial form, created from mathematical principles, and names this form Gabriel's horn. Therefore t...

I thought token was an experience reserved for Saturday night.

A phrase is a bag? Come on Pitzotl, you're reaching for straws. Get back to the subject. That's not true at all. Your interpretation of "infinite" is ...

Take it all with a grain of salt.

Yes, apply a limit to what is stipulated by the premise, as without limit. That is the mistake. Can't you see that it is stipulated that there is no l...

Whatever they can find him guilty of. Don't you think that the greatest witch hunt in history is bound to make a judgement of guilty at some point, an...

When's he going to jail? Any bets?

I don't agree that society is a prerequisite for an individual. I think that this is a faulty form of holism which is demonstrably illogical. The fact...

I saw it, and heard it distinctly stated, on the Youtube video at the referenced point, he distinctly says "well one over infinity that's zero, so you...

LOL! Look who's in denial! Saying that 1/infinity equals zero is obviously an instance of rounding off. There's nothing wrong with rounding off. We do...

No, the PLA wasn't supposed to cover that, nor does it cover that. Well, I'll have to beg your pardon, and I hope you'll accept my apology for interru...

Sure chief, one over infinity is zero, and that's not a matter of rounding off. Tell me another.

Actually it's a very common use of the word "look", you're just obstinate, refusing to look at anything unless it's in front of your eyes. I don't see...

You might think so, but it is always subjects who decide what to put on maps, therefore maps are inherently subjective. Suppose there's an array of on...

Looking at something with the mind does not mean to hold an image of it, it means to think about it. There are many different ways of thinking about t...

The volume of the horn is only determined as finite when the infinite radius is rounded off to zero at some determinable length, as is demonstrated by...

I've got a few but too most of them are banned or inactive.

In other words you want the paint to follow different rules for the inside of the horn, than for the outside of the horn, allowing a finite volume of ...

Do banned followers count?

Obviously, if we can assume that the horn is infinitely long, with an infinitely small diameter, we can also assume that the paint can go infinitely t...

I said "look at them with our minds". Obviously I wasn't talking about looking at them with your eyes. And the point was that when we recall memories ...

Gotta watch out for those people with dual personalities, they could gang up on you. Or, the two could be completely opposed and go into an endless ar...

Again, I think that's obviously a mistaken proposition. We all "look" at our experiences, we look at them with our minds. If we didn't we'd have no me...

The physical properties of the paint being incompatible with an infinite horn, was already rejected as not the subject of this discussion. If we were ...

This is a mistake. If it can be recognized by you as a thing, then by that fact, it has made a difference, and cannot be excluded as non-existent. In ...

I don't see how this is relevant. Are you forgetting that it's infinitely long? It doesn't really matter how many time less than a layers worth of pai...

You don't say?

It's quite simple. The radius is y, which is represented at the one limit as y=1/x=0. From someone who adamantly argues that = means "the same as", I ...

So, as I said this implies a zero radius and therefore closure of the horn. That's the reason for the appearance of a paradox. To figure the volume of...

The part I am bringing your attention to (and I'm not objecting to it, I'm bringing your attention to it, as relevant to the so-called paradox), is wh...

Think about when you let your mind wander, daydream, it's similar to dreaming while you're asleep, the thoughts can proceed in all sorts of different ...

Do you really think that upholding the difference between being equal, as two human beings are equal, and being one and the same thing, like I am the ...

Check my reference above, 6:25 in the video, where one over infinity is taken to be zero. Otherwise you do not get pi.

This relates directly to the faulty dichotomy which people like Banno seek to create. That dichotomy stipulates that either a language must be public ...

I'm objecting to the method employed by the person in the YouTube clip, which replaces the stated infinite limit, (approaches zero) with zero, as I re...

I think the real issue is that it's cumbersome to talk about limits when the subject is infinite, because it's contradictory. Is the horn closed (limi...

OK, so we have identified two features, the act called thinking, and the results of that act, thoughts. What I tried to explain in the last post, is t...

You expect me to believe that? Two distinct things become one and the same thing, if they are assumed to be equal. No, equal things are not the same t...

Philosophers are trying to save the human race from their greatest enemy, themselves. They haven't been able to do it, therefore philosophy is a failu...

Banno thinks that if two distinct frames of reference are made compatible through a transformation theory, then they become one. What Banno doesn't re...
