I don't see any double standard. I see two distinct types of judgement with two distinct sets of criteria. A criminal trial is set to determine whethe...
The proposition that childhood behaviour is relevant to the judgement of an adult's character in no way implies that juvenile behaviour ought to be co...
We're talking about reality here, not your fantasy world. In reality, the word "neighbour" above just refers to some possibility you've created. I agr...
Yes, I agree that there is something common to "the natural numbers", they are the numbers that we use to count things with. They have a common use. H...
Seems you recognize that it's pointless to argue your false claim, so you make up some fairy tale. What does "the physical" refer to other than the in...
No, it's quite clear that the physical world is created by the sensing beings, not vise versa. It is created by the nervous system. I am a being over ...
What we tend to disregard is that what we know as "the physical realm" is only what our senses present to us as "the physical realm". So "the physical...
See why I don't accept 4D space-time? It results in too many contradictions. Don't you see the contradiction? You posit a timeless thing which has tim...
So the act of placement is really a push, because placement cannot be precise. And, if the act of placement could be precise enough, or the surface fl...
s contradictory, to say that something has a start and end and also that it is permanent. If it's circular there is no start or end. You're using a di...
Face the facts, often the cover up is worse than, and evidence of, the crime itself. This is especially relevant in politics. I don't agree. Judging o...
I thought they wanted to see whether he's lying about his high school behaviour, to determine his credibility. If one cannot accept responsibility for...
It's not that there is a universal speed limit which I doubt, it is that there is something (light) which has the same speed in every frame of referen...
I don't think that it's reasonable to believe the speed of light to be constant. If something was going very fast, close to the speed of light for exa...
Actually I don't buy 4D space-time. I think it is a mistake to unify the concepts of space and time in this way, they need to remain separate. And you...
I disagree that there is any comparison involved in these activities which I call enjoying the passing of time. Maybe you carrying out similar acts of...
As I explained, those points are only conceptual. They do not actually exist in the thing they are being applied to. So you're just restating Zeno's p...
What I mean, is that you're not really dividing the time itself. We say that there are sixty minutes in an hour, sixty seconds in a minute, and so on,...
That's contradictory, isn't it? If it were divided, it would not be continuous. The points and divisions exist in principle only. They are in the repr...
That's the consequence of assuming infinite divisibility of the continuous. A 1 second interval is infinitely divisible, as is a 1 hour interval. It's...
You are creating an artificial discontinuity. There is no real point when A ends. If A, B, and C, are a series of events, there is continuity between ...
I think you're missing something here. There cannot be an event #1, because as soon as it occurs it's in the past, replaced by another event. This jeo...
I don't see how this proves that n infinite set is possible. It seems to assume that an infinite set is possible, "begs the question". Could you provi...
Clearly, your sets as written do not indicate that the right is a subset of the left. The left contains 4 and 6, which are not contained in the right....
Yes, I believe that's correct But the truth or falsity of special relativity depends on the truth or falsity of the relativity of simultaneity, which ...
One key principle upon which special theory of relativity rests, is the relativity of simultaneity. As I explained above, it is an ontological princip...
I never said I support presentism. I'm just following some points discussed in the thread. It's not that presentism itself is contradictory, but to ho...
I think the only way to understand "eternal' in relation to God, is the second way, outside of time. Material things are often said, in theology to be...
Obviously that's not what I meant to imply, as I went on to talk about a multiplicity. If I approach my lawn with the attitude that there is such a th...
Right, that's why the standard interpretation is that of eternalism, no "now". That is incorrect. If you interpret special relativity with the assumpt...
Suppose "now", the present, is the principle which defines what is happening, the events which are occurring, presently. "Simultaneous" implies that n...
Right, the conceptions of time and space utilized by physicists are inadequate, such that they cannot distinguish the temporal order of such events. P...
As I understand special relativity, it is stipulated that simultaneity is dependent on the frame of reference. There appears to be two approaches to t...
How would you distinguish members of group A from members of Group B? I think posters such as myself, stay on topic when the topic is sufficiently int...
MindForged's problem is in the assumption that there is such a thing as an infinite set. Clearly, for any set of natural numbers, a proper subset is a...
As each is infinite they cannot be consider as "sets", because "set" implies finitude. We went through all this days ago, about the time you left the ...
Have you read any of my posts? I insist that it is contradictory to say that a set is infinite. So no, I am not saying any set is infinite. Here are t...
It is the number of intervals between zero and one which is unbounded and infinite. You gave no argument that this number is bounded. You have stated ...
I agree, but as I explained, the thing which is infinite is not the same thing as the thing which is bounded. Therefore the limits expressed are irrel...
You're just repeating your affirmation without answering to my objection. Isn't the act of applying a rule to objects, and determining whether or not ...
"Rigorous mathematical understanding of infinity". Lol. But if your not joking, you have my sympathy. Does anyone even know what it means to be larger...
It's a very simple symptom, we value entertainment higher than we value good leadership. And an incompetent leader provides a high quality entertainme...
