There are no holes in the rational numbers, just like there are no holes in the reals. The numbers are produced from a different set of rules. This is...
I don't see why you say that this is a drastic misguided turn. Further, I don't think Peirce represents this as a drastic misguided turn, so I don't s...
This is exactly why it is a mistake for us to try to discuss "real space", and "real time". If physicists produce a concept of space and time as a con...
There's no such thing as real space and times. We see things, we create things, distinct objects, and we see how things move around and change, and we...
Space and time are concepts derived from our observations. Therefore it makes no sense to say that either space or time extends beyond what is observa...
I think modern science has demonstrated that there is a smallest unit of space. That's what quantum physics is all about. It's definitely not zero tho...
Actually, this is the reverse of what is the case. Aristotle formulated the law of identity so as to put the identity of a thing within the thing itse...
The point though is that #1 is wrong, things are really composed of finite parts. Things are finite. However, we can dream up an imaginary thing, a se...
Right, but the point is only a location when there is a physical object to mark the location. The point, as dimensionless, cannot be a location becaus...
That's right, the existence of irrationals really throws a wrench into the rational number line. Where do those irrationals exist in relation to that ...
If the survey stake is the marker point, then the point is not dimensionless, and clearly can be seen. But if the survey stake simply represents a poi...
I've never seen an infinite object. In fact, I really don't see how an object could be infinite. What we sense and apprehend are the boundaries of an ...
I agree, we will never reach the ideal of complete and total good, in the absolute sense. But what I really meant was, that the particular evil will d...
Just as I described, if it takes up no time, it is not "in time". Things which exist in time, have temporal extension, that's what existing in time me...
What "cheapened" impeachment, if anything, was Clinton's impeachment. That ship has already sailed NOS4A2, the precedent has been set, the cheapening ...
What's ridiculous is that people like you refuse to accept the obvious, and keep touting your contradictory definitions. Thanks jorndoe, I've never se...
I'm not a physicist, but I think that forces are commonly represented as fields. That's why there is electrical fields, magnetic fields, gravitational...
Sure, I'm fine with this, but it's more a case of pointing out a very common and simple mistake, rather than a case of "mocking". No, I'm not prepared...
I think there is a difficulty with this perspective. "Aggregation" implies particles of matter which aggregate. However, I think observations show tha...
Actually, first it was Agustino. Remember that? Now Agustino seems to have gotten fired, acquired some morals, or found a better job, so NOS4A2 has be...
Think about what you're saying tim, "a location" without any size is nonsensical. What could possibly identify that location unless there was somethin...
So you finally accept that word crimes really are actual crimes? And, do you see that it was inevitable that president Trump would get impeached for w...
Right, now the problem is the inconsistency between the definition of a point, and the definition of a line. A "point" is completely dimensionless. A ...
Did I say anything about the Constitution? No, I was concerned with your claim that "word crimes" are not "actual crimes". Do you see that you are und...
You seem to be a little daft. I think it's quite clear that president Trump most likely committed the crimes he's been accused of, abuse of power, and...
The point was to show that your approach is faulty. Identity is based in uniqueness, and this is the opposite of "shared properties". So you'll never ...
We make rules for a purpose. The rules are instruments, used for obtaining our goals. Rules do not exist independently from their use, as if they are ...
It was you who said that Trump committed "word crimes", and you implied that word crimes are distinct from and therefore not "actual crimes". This is ...
It's just a line. It signifies a spatial dimension. Why does it have to be "made of" something? You may as well be asking me what a dimension is made ...
Actually, it's your claim that there is clarity in any criminal trial, which is wrong at the most basic level.. Therefore the division you attempted t...
Don't class me as "you guys", I've already accepted and mentioned political strategy which the House Democrats might be employing. Political strategy ...
OK, let's say that points have no length whatsoever, they have no size, so it is incorrect to classify them in the category of things with lengths, su...
You're just making stuff up. There is no "clear law" setting forth the criteria of theft, or any such crime, just like there is no clear criteria for ...
This is an incorrect example because of the deficiencies of the human capacity of identification. The law of identity places a thing's identity within...
Sorry, but word crimes are actual crimes, especially when you're the president of the United States of America, because your words actually have power...
Life itself is essentially good, so to kill it off because the accidental, evil, has become overwhelming, is fundamentally irrational. All that is req...
If you think that the objections have been resolved, then you're simply wrong. And pointing to some "highly online" reference (whatever that means) do...
Isn't this contradictory though? If there is something which stays the same, within change, then how can change be more fundamental? If "being" is inh...
In mathematics, instrumentalism reigns supreme. Anyone who rejects instrumentalism, opting for truth as a first principle, is accused of "bad maths". ...
How is the date of the objection relevant? If it's a reasonable objection then it's a reasonable objection, regardless of the date. And, as Devans99 i...
This is Leibniz' principle, "the identity of indiscernibles". It states that if two objects can be said to have the very same properties, then they ar...
Right, I agree with this. But I'd say it's more like this, something unchanging is necessary for experience itself, it's fundamental to experience. An...
