You're ignoring the issues I brought up re "meaningful." If you're going to base an argument on that idea, you can't ignore those issues.

You were positing something decaying at different speeds where there's only that particle decaying? That wasn't clear from your earlier comment. "At d...

It's always based on some set of changes. You posited a change in the universe. So it would be whatever you assign to that change. Re "So are you aski...

I don't understand your comment. When we're talking about measuring time, we choose some changes as the basis. I already explained this. We then measu...

Right. You asked if it's twice as much time. The answer is yes, if you're using the faster wheel as the time basis. We always use some changing phenom...

I wasn't saying anything about it not being rational. I said that it doesn't make sense to not dislike x but to feel that x is immoral where we're not...

People compare it to how they reason, what makes sense to them.

I think those arguments are inane. I don't understand the "if y cannot fail to have x" part of your comment, though. We're also probably not going to ...

Okay. That makes sense but you're just pointing out that time is relative (in a different sense than the special relativity sense) to whatever we're u...

What would you mean by "twice as much motion"? I'm not saying that doesn't make sense, but I'm just not sure what would be an example of that. Re this...

I agree with that, but it would take some work (and it might not be possible) for them to try to make much sense out of that if you were to press them...

Definitely people do that all the time, because people judge good and bad reasoning very frequently where they're not even familiar with a concept of ...

If there are people in the world who you don't care about, then your moral views are not going to be about them. Re "Morality must be applicable to al...

I'm not clear on your comment. I'm saying that what time is ontologically is change or motion. That can't be refuted by pointing out that substituting...

You don't just have emotions/feelings about yourself.

For example, you might have temptation to eat a piece of cake. You like the taste, you'd love eating it, but you don't like the calories (maybe you're...

Can you give a clue re a few words that the explanation started with so that I can look it up again? Otherwise, re "pass" and "proceed" you'd have to ...

That's not succinctly summarizable, because it relates to feelings in so many ways, but the important thing is that reason isn't objective. Reason is ...

What you're attracted to re temptation isn't the same thing, in the same respect, etc., that you have a problem with

You can, but what you're explaining is about your feelings. It wouldn't make any sense to deduce what's good for you where the deduction results in so...

The claim isn't about how we conventionally use language.

Ah, sure. But I wouldn't say that that doesn't make sense. Morality is stronger than just any arbitrary dislike of something, and it's also not just a...

I'm not saying anything at all against reason. Thinking that I am would be seriously misunderstanding my views.

You'd be equivocating here, though. To not be equivocating, you'd need someone saying, "I don't dislike rape, but I think that rape is morally wrong."...

I don't quite understand this response. What, exactly, are you saying you don't dislike but feel is morally wrong?

I agree that some people simply follow stuff they were taught, but in those cases, I wouldn't say that they're acting morally (or immorally) at all. T...

So you think it would make sense for someone to say, "I don't dislike rape representations in pornography, but I feel that rape representations in por...

Oops, started typing this reply a few days ago and forgot about it. You didn't understand my comment at all. I'm not saying remotely like "we need to ...

Re labels, it would just be "family," "friends" etc. If you were looking for dividing up knowledge into categories, that would be different than focus...

Do you think it would make sense to say, "I don't dislike this, but I morally object to it"?

If there were innate moral rules built into reality somehow, then there would be objective morality, although that still wouldn't imply that anyone sh...

Right, which is one of the things that results in people not valuing everything equally. It's something worth coming to terms with, because the only w...

Re mathematics and logic, I'm an antirealist. I buy a combo of social constructivism and subjectivism. Concepts are brain states, too. As I explained ...

If you want to know that, it's probably better to just ask it in a straightforward manner, and then you could request that we keep our answers to 10 c...

It's not eating bacon that causes that sensation. It's your brain states relative to eating bacon that causes it. Someone else eating bacon can love t...

How is a "perception" or assessment that amounts to someone agreeing, "Yeah, that's harmful" divorced from their feelings?

Sure, lots of people do not think that, but that doesn't make them correct, of course.

Saying "this proposition is true" is saying that it has the right relation to whatever one takes to be the "truthmaker" ( facts/states of affairs if c...

One of those "you can't have x if there is none of x's opposite" arguments?

Right. That's what you said. The problem is that "pass" and "proceed" are terms that imply change or motion, unless you have some novel definition of ...

I'm not positing nonphysical change. I'd say the idea of nonphysical anything is incoherent. I'm a physicalist and a nominalist who rejects that there...

I don't know what nonphysical anything would be. But who knows what you'd claim, and you specified physical change, as if there might be some other so...

I want to address your comments first. That's part of justifying this against alternate views. Okay, so in your conception, does time passing without ...

It's not changing the subject. You made a claim about physicists determining something, and that claim was part of an argument against my view.. Okay,...

What I'm asking you about is your claim about physicsts determining something. Do you understand that?

So when you say that something has been determined you mean that you and others can conceive of it?

All value is subjective. It's dependent on an individual caring about the item in question. No one cares, then that thing has no value. Someone cares ...

You wrote "this time must pass without any physical change, according to what the physicists have determined" I'm asking you about that.

You just said that according to what physicists have determined, time shorter than Planck time must pass without any changes. You wrote "this time mus...

According to what specifically?
