Time is temporal continuity composed of moments. Not seeing it, means physics and math cannot capture the true nature of time or physical changes.
February 18, 2025 at 21:11
The point here is that, the OP created on the first day doesn't exist. It exists as OP with different properties. It has not only changed the time sta...
February 18, 2025 at 21:08
Above is a contradiction. Banno with the properties (weight, height, looks, knowledge, wisdom) 50+ years ago is not the same Banno with the properties...

Existence stopped becoming existence. Time stopped the moment it ceased to be existence. Nonexistence is in the mind of the living as a concept, not i...
February 18, 2025 at 20:10
When you say X is identical to Y, it is because X and Y have exactly same properties in every aspects. The OP when created, and the OP now has differe...
February 18, 2025 at 20:06
Yes, exactly. A mathematical description of the existence is not the existence itself. That was my point. Of course, it could be an accurate descripti...

Perception is not existence itself. To say perception is existence would be a Berkeleian. Some folks believe it, but it would be regarded as an extrem...

It seems physics cannot capture the moment of coexistence of the glass breaking and unbreaking. Math cannot either. Logic can. Your description of the...

What do you mean by real?
February 18, 2025 at 19:10
Why do you think that is the case? Does morality precede legality? Or vice versa? If you are a citizen of a country, then would you have choice not to...
February 18, 2025 at 13:49
They are kind of possible worlds inferred from present state of consciousness. Many folks believe possible worlds exist. If you have no present, then ...

It is also a paradox. The moment glass broke, the glass was unbroken. The moment glass was unborken, the glass was broken. Therefore the glass was bro...
February 17, 2025 at 16:01
We are talking about logic here now, not physics. Until the moment the glass broke, the glass was unbroken. Therefore glass breaking is not a process....
February 17, 2025 at 15:55
The exact moment of the glass breaking coexists with not breaking. How is it a process?
February 17, 2025 at 15:44
Have you come across the concept of sorities paradox?
February 17, 2025 at 15:43
The glass was not broken until the moment it was broken. The moment of breaking and not breaking is in the state of sorities paradox. How could a para...
February 17, 2025 at 15:41
That is a type of change in physical and biological level. It is not a perception of your Aha moment. Breaking glass is a motion. A mass traveled into...

Legal judgements and punishments for the criminal acts comes from the set of criminal laws of the country, and only the appointed legal judge can hand...

Aging is a perception of change, not the change itself. The wine aged well, they say. You cannot tell it was aged well until you taste the wine. Broke...
February 17, 2025 at 15:19
Aging is a concept. It is for describing a body or food has been changing via time. Because it is a concept, it doesn't affect the actual physical pro...
February 17, 2025 at 15:02
Again you are not telling the difference between moral judgement and legal punishment. The example demonstrates, that adultery is universally judged a...
February 17, 2025 at 14:29
Sure, but you don't have to know about aging to get old. Your body still gets old, whether you know about aging or timing, or totally unaware of it li...
February 17, 2025 at 14:23
Math can describe the motions and movements of objects in numbers and functions. But they are not time itself, is it?
February 17, 2025 at 13:25
Moral normativity is effective for the time period and the societies we live in. You don't go back in history, and bring in some strange and weird pra...
February 17, 2025 at 13:17
Morality is also based on what is called "normativity". Without it, morality derails into subjective denialism.
February 17, 2025 at 12:42
Of course. But we must stick to what is called "normativity" when discussing morality. There could be folks who don't even know what morality means. W...
February 17, 2025 at 12:40
It can be justified based on practical reason, which all humans supposed to share, and accept the certain moral codes as the maxim. Of course there wo...
February 17, 2025 at 12:34
It would be like asking "Why 1+1=2", wouldn't it?
February 17, 2025 at 12:01
Doing X harms others, therefore X is morally wrong. Could this be not a justification of moral code?
February 17, 2025 at 11:17
Why not? What is it that qualifies and proves for something to exist?
February 17, 2025 at 10:41
Events or objects in the past exist in different state and properties to the ones at present. When you keep insisting about the OP when it was created...
February 17, 2025 at 09:20
You are a busy man. OK no probs mate. I don't think Hume is directly linked to the OP. So no worries. As I said, the only reason I quoted Hume was bec...
February 16, 2025 at 17:42
I used to interpret Kant's experience as "perception". Kant's CPR has problem of translation from the old German to contemporary German, and then to E...
February 16, 2025 at 17:38
I am not an expert on Hume either. I just read some parts of his books, and agreed with some of his points. We read the original works be it Hume, Kan...
February 16, 2025 at 16:15
You don't need to be an expert to be able to create a new OP on Hume. ^_^
February 16, 2025 at 15:11
Time as a consciousness would be able to capture the world in metasubjective and creative way dilating, compressing, shredding, titillating, scintilla...
February 16, 2025 at 15:09
Will discuss about Hume with you, if you start a new OP on the topic. Discussing Hume in here would be likely grossly off-topic.
February 16, 2025 at 12:38
Any questions on Hume's topics? Start a new OP.
February 16, 2025 at 12:36
I don't trust the big companies. They usually have lot of false info too. The sole purpose of these large business are making profits, not pursuit of ...

Why was your definition not in the dictionary?
February 16, 2025 at 12:19
I am not sure if agent is a technical term to mean what you mean. But if you said you are a person, then it would have been clearer. :D Carry on my fr...
February 16, 2025 at 12:14
Well if that is your definition of agent, I would day your definition is not quite right. Please consult the dictionary on the meaning. agent /?e?d?(?...
February 16, 2025 at 12:02
Of course you did. But as I am not an agent, I was looking around me, and in me and in my mind to see if I am an agent. I couldn't find any impression...
February 16, 2025 at 11:51
I only offered the Original Text by Hume, because it answers everything you have been asking about. I thought it was obvious. This is what I mean. The...
February 16, 2025 at 11:49
Banno as a newborn 50+ year ago = Banno as a man after 50+ years from his birth ? They don't look the same Banno to me. :D It seems the case the confu...

I am not an idealist. I don't belong to any of these isms. My ideas are flexible depending on what topics we are talking about. I am perceptions means...
February 16, 2025 at 10:19
You could say that you are experiencing something at present. But it is a way of expression to mean that you are perceiving something. In actuality, w...
February 16, 2025 at 10:14
Hence I was telling you, you can get old without knowing anything about aging or time.
February 16, 2025 at 02:08
Not sure if you were meaning about aging. But I know those indigenous folks in the jungle with no concept of time, doesn't know anything about their a...
February 16, 2025 at 02:05
I would suppose so. It is from speculation actually.
