You are welcome. Sure. If you say, you are allowing the parallel timelines running in possible worlds, then the argument becomes logically tenable. Bu...

But isn't the measurement data of the body, the property of the body, or a part of description of the body, rather than the body itself? For example, ...

If an idea means to have mental images from the sense perceptions such as visual perceptions and memories, then the animals must have ideas just like ...

Isn't the measurement of his body just a form of data? Data is not material or physical. Is it? Do music and song have size? Is it a metaphor or what?

This short video summaries my points on time travel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfoiwdJTtwE
January 07, 2024 at 09:50
If you insist that you can travel into the past or future in your imagination, yeah I would say it might be imaginable within your imagination. I was ...
January 06, 2024 at 16:02
Yes, my view of time is similar to Kantian time. It is a concept in mind. Time doesn't exist in the physical world like space does. Do you claim that ...
January 06, 2024 at 15:21
Time is a concept in mind. Travel means physical motion describing going from physical location A to B. How do you travel in the concept to another ph...

That's a poor argument and conclusion. Good day. :) I will reconsider your statement for its truth, if you come back with the clarifications for all t...
January 06, 2024 at 11:12
I knew the negation of the statement was clearer, and it gave the ground for the truth, which entailed the falsity of your statement.
January 06, 2024 at 11:09
It is not true, because its negation is true. Support is not our goal of argument. The goal of the argument is finding out which statement is true. It...
January 06, 2024 at 11:03
I thought it was obvious. Your statement has too many unclear terms. When it says someone could invent, who is someone? Does he exist in the real worl...
January 06, 2024 at 10:28
My original question was about number, not object. But your reply was about object, and I was asking about them too. Why do you want to count object w...
January 06, 2024 at 09:24
In what sense is it possible, or under what ground is it possible?
January 06, 2024 at 09:19
Could you provide some examples of such material objects? How do you find countable objects from the object you can't count?

Shakespeare has been dead for almost 400 years.

Understandable and reasonable decision. There is no place for toxicity, derogatory languages or the swearing directed towards the individuals in Philo...
January 05, 2024 at 22:37
Your premise "If I travel to 1776" is an impossibility from the reality of 2024, and therefore it is false. Your conclusion is true in that 1776 was t...
January 05, 2024 at 22:19
Yes, I agree with all of your points. In the case of cats and dogs, and monkeys, they seem to show the intelligent activities in their daily lives. Th...

January 05, 2024 at 14:42
Well, Kant has been dead for over 200 years. How else could you meet him, if you are going back to his time. Someone has to wake him up from the grave...

The whole point of time travel is about going to the place at the time of the past or future with the historical or futuristic people in real flesh in...
January 05, 2024 at 13:34
When you say "I am here." in the each different locations, you are not saying anything about the physical geographical locations themselves, but you a...

If numbers are physically_materially real, then how long and heavy are they? What shape and colour are numbers?
January 05, 2024 at 00:22
Can you travel into your happiness or hopes? There is no such a place as the past or future. There are geographical places such as the countries, citi...
January 05, 2024 at 00:14
It seems the whole imagination has been based on the wrong assumption that the past and future are some sort of geographical destinations such as Toky...
January 04, 2024 at 16:53
Impossibility of time travel seems to be one of the universally necessary truth. I am not sure if it would be even possible in a possible world. If on...

Thank you Lionino. Yeah, a strange guy he was. There was no need for throwing childish tantrums in the public forum against what is supposed to be a w...

Well say whatever you want. They are just the reflection of yourself.
January 03, 2024 at 18:17
Yes, matter contains potential energy within it. But it is not energy yet, until some detonation, crash, combustion or shock, i.e. physical or chemica...

khaaa ... hear the uncontrolled emotional explosion? :lol: Calm down.
January 03, 2024 at 18:11
Thank you sir. I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year too. :grin: :pray: ... although time is an illusion. :nerd:
January 03, 2024 at 17:56
If you had some deductive reasoning skills, then you can know most things by the reasoning alone without having to try it for yourself. :) I am sorry ...
January 03, 2024 at 17:53
Welcome back to TPF. :D I don't think we spoke before. Glad to catch you. I think you have been hibernating too long from the real world :D Energy is ...

And another thing my friend. To a quibbler, everything looks like quibbles. To a philosopher, what matters most is truth. Good day :)
January 03, 2024 at 16:06
Philosophy itself is a detailed subject which adopts the conceptual and logical clarifications for its methodology. If and when one uses wrong or uncl...
January 03, 2024 at 15:50
That is a pure nonsense. I never said perception is purely passive. It just proves that perception can be passive at times. :) Another wrong use of th...
January 03, 2024 at 15:12
We were talking about the case where you have not been able to avoid getting pinched or pulled out the ears :D This must be some unique and rare case ...
January 03, 2024 at 14:42
I heard some folks saying that they get stoned for listening to the music in order to hear more details in the music, and some saying that they get st...
January 03, 2024 at 14:37
But think again. You keep insisting perception is active activity meaning that you can control perceiving the world and objects with your own will or ...
January 03, 2024 at 11:48
Everyone knows that human perception is bound by the biological sense organs. There is nothing new or interesting in that point. But if you induce som...
January 03, 2024 at 11:33
I would advise you to stay away from any drugs or medication induced experiments with your minds. You will end up being dependent on them, and eventua...
January 03, 2024 at 10:02
I was not denying that perception is active, and it is an activity. I was suggesting that it is active, but also passive at times, and sometimes it ca...
January 03, 2024 at 09:59
Well if you allow the images you see in your dreams as type of perception (which we must, I would imagine), then you would find yourself deep in the w...
January 02, 2024 at 15:24
If Physicalism is all about saying "Everything is physical", then it is just a non-sense. If they say that some objects in the world are physical, the...
January 02, 2024 at 15:08
Really? Isn't perception passive or active, or both in some cases? You wake up in the morning, open your eyes, and you see all the things around you w...
January 02, 2024 at 15:05
Could we agree experience as same meaning as "perception", which supervened into knowledge or skills? "a lot" can also mean significantly and notably,...
January 02, 2024 at 12:43
Is the world devoid of objects in the absence of a conscious subject, a part of the actual world? How could a conscious subject access or understand t...
January 02, 2024 at 11:46
The concept of experience and idea can be broad, because almost every philosophers in history had their own views on them. Hence it would be a good id...
