Genuine practice of democracy is rare. Due to the fact, most preachers of democracy give impressions of false pretense and their ignorance. Countless ...

I reject your claim time is subjective, real and a substance. If subjective time is real, then objective time must be fake, right? First, you need to ...
February 21, 2025 at 09:55
Your explanation here sounds like a mysticism. You claim that your explanations were based on logic, but here you seems to be admitting it is actually...
February 21, 2025 at 09:33
You are making mountains out of a mole hill, as they say. My point was simple. Use INBOX for any non philosophical posts. Don't write your emotional w...
February 21, 2025 at 09:29
I was just commenting on your sentence "going to pity". That wasn't necessary, and it just sounded like personal attack. Honestly I have never seen so...
February 21, 2025 at 09:07
OK, my argument is not 100% accurate or free from logical consistency, but it is purely from my own reasoning, and I admit it could be fallacious in p...

Time is a concept. Like human is a concept. They are like sets. We say them, use them to describe the elements in the set. But they don't exist like c...

So do you mean we have three different types of time, which are subjective, psychological and objective? Which one is the real time. Now we can ask ab...
February 20, 2025 at 17:11
Well, depends on who those 99 folks are. Of course if they are the same type of folks who cannot see what objectivity is, then their subjectivity woul...
February 20, 2025 at 17:07
But if you gather up 100 blinded folks in the room of 1 sighted person, then the darkness would be the reality of the world. Hence the reason why you ...
February 20, 2025 at 17:05
That was what I have been explaining to you too until my face went blue. Physics and math cannot capture, describe or understand it, hence they would ...
February 20, 2025 at 17:02
:ok: The contents and states of one's subjective and private mental experience cannot be presented as the basis of the objective evidence in the argum...
February 20, 2025 at 15:47
No, you won't do that. You also have reason to tell you not to do it. Reason is not just for telling you what to do, or what or why the world is the w...
February 20, 2025 at 15:45
All I know is that time is a perception appearing in my mind, and change is also perception captured and appearing in mind. How they appear or why the...
February 20, 2025 at 13:24
I think I told you before. This is exactly where I agree with Hume. When I try to see my own self, all I can see is perception. My own perception of w...

:roll: :wink:
February 20, 2025 at 13:15
This point has been addressed to @Bob Ross also. Is it correct to say change is real? Are there fake changes? I was not denying the fact there are cha...
February 20, 2025 at 11:32
I think you have good philosophical knowledge in some areas, but you seem to lack some basic etiquettes for public discussions. If I may point them ou...
February 20, 2025 at 10:53
yes, but your comment seems to be coming from taking side of Janus position blindly. You seem to be totally ignoring it is Janus who started personal ...
February 20, 2025 at 10:09
It has long been noticed you have well established group of folks supporting each other when one gets criticism due to their ill manners. Hence no sur...
February 20, 2025 at 09:58
Not quite sure on these countries at all, as my interest is not in legalities. But let us think this way. They have very harsh punishment in the legal...
February 20, 2025 at 09:44
My point was you cannot imagine anything without your mind, let alone a world. It was not about a possible world. But obviously it seemed clear that m...
February 20, 2025 at 09:36
The point here was about logic, but you seem to talking about your own imagination. Anyhow this is not even main topic in this thread. Please refrain ...
February 20, 2025 at 09:03
Could you explain the symbolic statement in plain English? Is that statement true or false?
February 19, 2025 at 23:40
Why do you think it is funny that you cannot tell the difference between a conclusion and assumption (suggestion)? The conclusion has not been agreed ...
February 19, 2025 at 23:36
What do you mean by trivially true? Why is it trivially true? Isn't it obvious? Imagination is a mental operation which is one of the functions of min...
February 19, 2025 at 23:33
You still need a biological body and functional brain to be able to have dream. Therefore could dreams reflect the state of your body and brain? The p...
February 19, 2025 at 18:03
It wouldn't be accepted as valid or meaningful arguments on the basis of either non relevant or highly unlikely example. Again, the other party can re...
February 19, 2025 at 17:51
No one forces a society to accept their own legal system. The members of the society accept sets of legal system and laws themselves. Do you honestly ...
February 19, 2025 at 16:37
I never claimed time doesn't exist. Your perception seems not quite accurate here. The OP wrote it as a suggestion for discussions and consideration. ...
February 19, 2025 at 16:31
Change was not denied here. The actual change itself cannot be captured by physics and math. That was an assumption. No denial. No, I am not an ideali...
February 19, 2025 at 16:22
No. I was suggesting time is a concept. It is a way to describe changes, motions, movements, and durations and intervals too. Because time is a concep...
February 19, 2025 at 13:18
Isn't this an appeal to extreme case fallacy?
February 19, 2025 at 11:32
Isn't the law formally accepted legal system by the people of the society? Wouldn't it be self contradiction to say your country's legal system is wro...
February 19, 2025 at 11:29
Morality only judges the moral actions of the folks. Legality judges the acts and also hand down the punishments according the law, hence legality pre...
February 19, 2025 at 10:30
Well, Socrates wouldn't agree with that claim, I guess. Morality and legality is not the same. Just because you feel your country's legal system doesn...
February 19, 2025 at 10:19
That is not a philosophical posting, is it?
February 19, 2025 at 10:17
If you had no mind, would you be able to imagine a world?, or be able to imagine anything?
February 19, 2025 at 09:44
Isn't it itself an act of moral wrongness to break the law, revolt and overthrow the system? You are committing more serious moral wrongness under the...
February 19, 2025 at 01:20
A world independent of mind is a world which exists without mind. Imagination is a function of mind. Without mind, there is no imagination. Therefore ...
February 19, 2025 at 01:07
Isn't it Wittgenstein who believed that anything you can express in language, exists. Therefore past facts and events exist. Is it the case? I am not ...
February 18, 2025 at 22:16
As I said, your point seems to be coming from the concept of identity in relations rather than identity in properties. Would it be Wittgensteinian or ...
February 18, 2025 at 22:03
OK, think of a movie in the traditional roll films. You have thousands of moments of stills image in each single film in the long continuous roll of f...
February 18, 2025 at 21:50
Sure, I think you are seeing the change as unbroken continuity. I am seeing change as continuity composed of slices of moments.
February 18, 2025 at 21:41
If you have ran out of what to say on the points due to lack of knowledge or ideas, don't post strawman posts please. That really doesn't help anyone.
February 18, 2025 at 21:33
Strawman posts will be ignored.
February 18, 2025 at 21:29
Change is composed of momentary continuity. You must be able to see the moment of the actual change, not the pseudo changes you describe (which is the...
February 18, 2025 at 21:27
It sounds like a subjective denialism. :) I can see it perfectly in my reasoning and inferring. The moment of coexistence of the breaking and unbroken...
February 18, 2025 at 21:18
No contradictions at all. It is a logical and physical fact.
February 18, 2025 at 21:16
But obviously they cannot see the moment of coexistence of breaking and unbrokenness of the glass.
