When something is put into memory, it is forgotten about. That seems contradictory, but what I mean is that it's put away for later access, so it leav...
How is that corrupt? Corruption is when one acts on inside information, private to the company. Coronavirus was public information, and if some savvy ...
You clearly do not know what colour is. Do you recognize that what we sense as colour is combinations, mixtures of wavelengths, and that the eyes have...
This is wrong, the eyes are what we use to determine colour, not mathematics. And colour is not determined by frequency of EM waves. That's a false my...
OK I respect that. Sorry, too much time spent at TPF and I've developed bad habits. Since you said "lay it on me", you get a long post. Feel free to i...
If you believe in free will, the future is not determined. So it is true in an absolute sense, if free will is true. If you think that "X will happen"...
I agree that "traders" are not a cohesive group, and they don't have an agreed strategy. Nevertheless, they have the same intention, which is to make ...
Your analogy is worse than mine. A human being doesn't use math to catch a ball. That's a false premise. You admit this yourself when you say a human ...
Traders make their money from transactions. If they think the market Is staying the same (stable) they will hold, as you say, therefore they make no m...
The unstable market is the trader's market. That's where the traders make easy money. So why would the traders want to stabilize the market? Traders w...
Why would you ever conclude that? If a group of people show up at work in the morning do you conclude that they took similar, if not identical modes o...
This statement, as well as the headline of your referred article, is false and deceptive. No charges against Russians have been dropped. Charges again...
Yes, not be able to bring the responsible individuals into court to face trial, and having only representatives from a company who have the sole inten...
The selling price is determined by what people are willing to pay. it's a simple matter of supply and demand. Sellers are plentiful, buyers are not, p...
Did you read the article you referred? They dropped the charges against the company, or group of companies, "Concord", for various reasons, mostly due...
Right, if you're a sailor you'll know that avoiding the zero tangent is how to avoid a collision. And, if you're a storm chaser, and the tornado isn't...
Here's another thing to consider Mww. The precise separation between passive (possible) intellect, and active (agent) intellect, has never been resolv...
Under Einsteinian relativity theory there are no good principles to distinguish spatial measurements from temporal measurements. That is a deficiency ...
By "actual" I mean active. If you are insisting that to be actual, something must be material, then I'll look to you for an explanation as to why you ...
OK, we're starting to have better understanding of each other, and better agreement. He can think of another solution, but he doesn't because he belie...
Pure potentiality is demonstrably irrational. This would exclude anything actual, but a cause must be actual. Therefore pure potentiality cannot produ...
Actually it works at all levels, that's why quantum physics provides us with such good predictions. if you think that events at the small level are ab...
Some people refer to them as "the laws of nature". They determine material existence by restricting the behaviour of physical things. There is an incl...
But it's not false. Alternative solutions are prevented, just like in my analogy, when an action is taken alternative possibilities, which as possibil...
The problem with the Hawking proposal is that it defines time in relation to spatial existence, as derived from Einsteinian relativity. So, when looki...
We can make truthful 'is' and 'is not' statements concerning the past, because the past has already occurred and is therefore determinate. We cannot m...
It is not the case that we have nothing to work with. We have something to work with, this is the subject, what is being thought about, what I describ...
This all depends on how one defines the terms. The point is that there must be some sort of divisions. If "mind" means "conscious mind", Then these th...
There seems to be a trend in government to hand over enforcement of consumer protection rules, to the corporations themselves, as a form self-governan...
We prevent things from coming into our mind all the time. Once you accept as the phrase you will say, and say it "…" you prevent other possibilities f...
Actually there are two aspects of "free will", one is the will itself, and the other what is attributed to it, freedom. "Choice" defines the "free" pa...
But this is to make corporate profit into the public good, it is not to prioritize it "over" the public good. See the difference? One says corporate p...
We were talking about awareness. Have you switched this for the faculty of representation? Or do you think they are one and the same? I don't see how ...
But "continuous" is the more descriptive word, it says more about the named property than "infinitely divisible". Infinitely divisible is the way that...
The markets surged so high, so fast lately, the correction was imminent. Analysts will always point their fingers at something as the trigger, but tha...
It's the downturn, sometimes called "correction". Blame the triggering on whatever you want, it's inevitable because it's how people claim their winni...
Right, so if something is divided anywhere, then it has parts, and is not continuous. The continuous is divisible, but it cannot actually be divided. ...
What about habitual actions, would you say that they occur absent of our awareness? For example, if I'm walking, I'm not actually aware of how I am mo...
What we are talking about with "S is P" and "S is not-P," are human statements. "S" stands for a subject, which may or may not be, in some way associa...
I get my information from studying philosophy, where continuity is the feature of an undivided existence. So when mathematicians look at the divisibil...
You seem to be saying much the same thing as me, in a different way. Do you think that this part of cognition which is absent from our awareness (and ...
If you think that continuity is defined by infinite divisibility, then you misunderstand continuity. What is really the case, is that infinite divisib...
Why would you think the concept is the source of the word rather than that the word is the source of the concept? I disagree with your second premise,...
