No, of course not. And obviously I'd say that if I'm saying that time and change are identical. Re "this difference which is an aspect of time, is not...
If the dilemma is supposed to be what you'll name the lockers, you could just name them: "Stuff I learned from birth to 8 years old" "Stuff I learned ...
I'm not denying temporal differences, so pointing out that I'm specifying temporal differences isn't an argument against what I'm saying, it's a featu...
No two instances of something are actually identical. (I'm a nominalist.) You just said the difference. Changes that happened are different than chang...
Yeah, if you're just characterizing it as concern for others/care versus focus on individual concerns and capitalism etc., on the economic side I'm mo...
It's a core tenet of truth in analytic philosophy, at least, that truth is a relation between a proposition and something else. The relation isn't its...
Liberals want to regulate tons of behavior that I'm not at all in favor of regulating (on my libertarian side) and they'd not do what I'd so re social...
The differentiation is whether is behavior that you don't approve of to an extent that you feel it should be prohibited. Re "actual harm," I don't kno...
Metaphysician Unlimited, Would your premise be something like "If time isn't different than change/motion, then there would be no difference between m...
In other words, we can refer to: (1) facts that are independent of how someone feels about those facts, and we can refer to (2) how people feel (about...
You mentioned your mother and father. Another term for that is "family." Also, you mentioned place, time, etc. That would put you with the group also ...
Even changing the entire universe wouldn't do it (especially if one is a nominalist). It's still two different instantiations of the "same thing" (in ...
So who assiged it? Anyway, another suggestion. How about a paper on what mathematics is ontologically? Most of this article has to do with this issue:...
That comment simply makes no sense. I'm not saying anything like "There is no time." I'm in no way eliminating time. There is time. I'm simply saying ...
Truth isn't propositional in content. Truth is a relation between propositions and something else (the something else depends on the truth theory you ...
It's not for a particular class? (I'm guessing this is not in the U.S. then) What sorts of topics have you been learning about? Have you studied philo...
The difference is that with the Sentinelese and similar tribes, there's no reason to expect them to be familiar with the bulk of cultures' interlaced ...
Let's say that A is five feet to the right (from perspective x) of B. They move relative to each other, so that A is now six feet to the right of B. N...
Think of it this way, Metaphysician Undercover: A, B and C change to D, E and F. You want to propose somehow "traveling back to that change," to exper...
I didn't say that change is an identity violation. I said that the idea that we could "take back" something that changed is. Look at what I wrote agai...
I read Rand when I was a kid--I was (and still am) a big Rush fan. 2112 came out when I was 13 years old. I was a pretty straightforward U.S. party-st...
This. Transcendental arguments make sense and are a very sophisticated way to approach argumentation for something. "Transcendent" as it's used to mak...
You mean change something that changed so that it doesn't change that way? How would the idea of that even make sense? It would be an identity violati...
"different degrees and instantiations of empathetic tendencies lead to very different moral stances." So, for example, psychopaths will have at least ...
Past events occurred. They're no longer occurring. Time is simply change or motion. It's not something you can "travel in." It rather is the traveling...
As I've said a number of times, I think that one of philosophy's biggest mistakes was the rejection of psychologism. The desire to reject psychologism...
It's simply a matter of intuiting whether you're comfortable with some interpersonal behavior or other. Empathy is a big part of it, and different deg...
What's the origin of the "speck of anti-gravity material located in a high energy environment"? Or in other words, as I've pointed out before, and as ...
You can't say that it doesn't have the particular physical effects it does, but those facts imply nothing about any value judgments. So we'd need to c...
What, what and what?? Let's start with this: " If the world is the domain of all domains, it should be a domain within itself." First off, "The world ...
It's a mistake to think they can't, rather. Wittgenstein was wrong (about most things). And re meaning, it's a mental phenomenon only. Language isn't ...
There's a history of using "real" so that it refers to being external to mentality. Of course, there's a history of using "exist" that way, too, and t...
