I didn't answer the question, because it didn't make any sense to me. In no way can I understand myself as "a finite quantity". So my answer was meant...
I told you, "what has happened" refers to memory, and "what is possible to happen" refers to anticipation. "What is happening" refers to a combination...
I'll provide an answer to that, if I may. A human being is made up of two distinct types of qualities, material and immaterial (dualism). If you try t...
Maybe, just maybe, Trump has gotten himself in over his head this time. We might need a new phrase to describe his upcoming position, 'real bankruptcy...
You asked me for 'my definitions', so this is exclusively what these words mean within the context of 'my definitions'. You are taking "to happen" out...
So Trump could hire a team of 1,000 lawyers, and each would have 11,600 pages to mull over. I think there is going to be a request for more time to pr...
As I said, meaning is given to these terms from the human experience of memory and anticipation. What has happened, "past", consists of things which m...
In my interpretation of Kant, the agent is incorporated into the phenomena though the means of the pure a priori intuitions of space and time. These a...
Since a point cannot be straight or curved, what distinguishes a point on a curved line from a point on a straight line? And how does "a single parame...
What you are doing is exchanging "continuum" with "one-dimensional". Your conclusion "a curve is one dimensional" is based on the unsound premise, tha...
You are missing the point Luke. Obviously defining the terms without reference to time is not a problem, because a person can define terms any way one...
All you are doing is demonstrating that what you call "mathematics" is self-contradicting. The "continuum" which you speak of consists of arcs which a...
Luke, do you not even try to read my posts? So, you have my stated definition of "the present", and as I also stated earlier, definitions of "past" an...
The differentiation might be "agential" in the sense that it is a feature of the agent's sensibility, and carried out through the process of sensation...
I've explained very clearly how "we" can define and understand these terms without reference to time. Obviously though, you will never be able to unde...
Russia has banned the export of the strategically important Korean Pine nuts: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hNGbUrJtaP8 Further investigation has rev...
This seems contradictory to me. If an embodied intra-action occurs with one or the other, but not both, then this implies that there is an unambiguous...
I've offered many propositions as to how to proceed in making these definitions. I've gotten no agreement from you concerning this procedure. To offer...
That point is irrelevant. Of course one can define "time" however one wants, but if it's not recognizable as time, then the proposition would be unacc...
But what about the future though? Isn't it necessary to have a "cut" between future and past, to distinguish between what is possible and what is impo...
The use which you describe here is a way of describing time, just like I argued. This supports what I said, "past", "future", and "present" are used t...
I really can't understand this. Could you try to explicate? What does it mean to say that the past has agential separability, for example? And what do...
We use "past", "future", "present" to describe and even define "time". Time cannot be described or defined without these references. But we can also u...
Use your capacity to think Luke. None of those terms imply time. "Time" implies the descriptive terms of past present and future, but not vise versa. ...
Now, back to the dogs. DNA analysis has shown that wolves, coyotes, and dogs all interbreed. So I would think that in reality, these are all one speci...
Right, that's why I said love is prior to thought, and thought requires love, in the sense that love is necessary for thought. This is evident in huma...
In the strict sense, different species do not interbreed, as BC pointed out. I think that's actually what defines a "species", reproductive boundaries...
I would agree that love fills the void, and love is expressed in actions rather than thoughts, but I think thought is still required in a secondary wa...
Simple breeding does not cause a new species, because this requires genetic modifications, manipulation, or plain old mutations. Dogs are an interesti...
What thought signifies to me is need, lacking. We think because we are in need. So when Descartes put thinking in relation to being, he should have re...
I, am an impenetrable fortress. Nothing, I repeat nothing, from that "external world" can infiltrate my defenses, and move me. All which exists within...
It's even more of a mind bender to think of all the domesticated species which never existed as undomesticated. How did they come into existence? The ...
The point though, is that no specific named colour can be defined simply with reference to a particular set of wavelengths. This is because the sensat...
I answered this: The above quote answers this too. I was very deliberately not talking about "time". That we were talking about time is your misinterp...
It's what your arguments implied, and then you confirmed it by saying that "the human observer" may be replaced by "the present". This is what you sta...
This is your mistake then, you equate the human temporal perspective with "the present". I explained in the last post, and a number of times earlier, ...
Past the human observer I suppose. As I said, definitions always have an implied subjective perspective which if it enters into the definition would l...
I am not making any statements of necessity, so I am not suggesting anything about how any word "must be defined", or "cannot be defined". That's why ...
We are talking about defining terms, which is completely different from locating places. You can locate a place with "here", but "here" will not serve...
But look, it's said "Through faith we know...". This implies that faith is the cause of that knowledge. Faith is not the knowledge itself. So we still...
Sure Luke, but until you provide the support your proposition is unsupported. And what experience provides the support, other than memories and antici...
This makes no sense to me. There are many different shades of red, produced from many different combinations of wavelengths. We learn how to perceive ...
It's called "justification". Such propositions are meaningless if not supported by experience or evidence. I could propose this: time passes such that...
Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, In sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, Thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of h...
Faith is not a type of knowledge. Is it a cause of knowledge? Well, where is Chomsky when you need him? Here, "the acquisition of knowledge" is mentio...
Really? Do you think so? We claim to have sensations. We claim to have thoughts, and ideas. But do we have intuitions? "Intuition" appears to refer to...
