But you have had a hand in determining your preferences. You just haven’t been paying attention. Freedom is a quality of variability. Our imagination ...
Affect refers to a four-dimensional structure of relation. Conscious observers are five-dimensional. Non-conscious observers are four-dimensional. I t...
I think it has merit as a philosophy that is grounded in an affected preference for mathematical logic. I don’t disagree with it, as such, I just thin...
I don’t really subscribe to this Peircean sequencing as such. Firstness, Secondness and Thirdness suggest ordinality as a fundamental assumption, but ...
No - the point of metaphysics is to extract the holistic simplicity of existence, which I think you and I can agree is triadic. They’re just different...
How did we extract ourselves from the description of a planetary system, where our understanding of the system was biased by our position within it? T...
No, mathematics reduces the relation. It aims to reduce any relation to one dimension: a numerical order. And measurement is an act of quantification ...
No - I just have better things to do with my time than arguing with someone who so aggressively rejects open-mindedness and charitable discussion. I’m...
In practice, sure, and likewise with claims about quantity to be supported by acts of qualification, ie. observation. And yet theoretical physics. Obj...
How we interpret the situation and their intent is never as ‘clear’ or objective as we might assume. I think your brother’s approach is reasonable in ...
As I said, the problem with ‘free love’ is the freedom to withdraw or deny love without compunction, and the moral justification to then withdraw or d...
As I’ve said before, my approach to this is qualitative, so I agree that classical conceptions of ‘dimension’ don’t work at this level, but the qualit...
I agree that this accountancy is applied to all four dimensions - that’s kind of my point. These three aspects (location, change and energy), all redu...
Given that we’re born dependent, and that we rely on so many systems, manufacturers and suppliers in our day-to-day lives, at what point can you claim...
I can see how temporal structure rendered as a linear continuum would simplify the ideas you’re navigating here. But there’s a more complex dimensiona...
Perhaps a healthy and affectionate family with a ‘free love’ philosophy is theoretically possible, but it’s by no means easy to structure with the aim...
In practice, the brain is inseparable from the lifeform as an integrated event, and has evolved with a high degree of variability within its protectiv...
Phenomenology is one way to approach it, sure. But this non-conceptual awareness is arguably indicative of qualitative variability at every dimensiona...
This is what we’ve been taught to assume: that consciousness is image-based, rather than chemical-based. What forms inside an ordinary camera is a pho...
What we consolidate as a ‘rock’ consists of individual molecular structures in an arrangement of which they are obviously unaware. If you broke a rock...
When theists describe a God or Gods they give them human characteristics as a matter of relatability. Those who believe in science/karma/balance prefe...
A six year old is never going to grasp this, and any attempt to reduce it so that they can would be analogous at best. The foundation of existence con...
Which also renders the ‘one punch’ such a despicable act. But consider a verbal exchange that deteriorates/escalates into a physical one. At what poin...
Fundamental implies ‘mind’ all on its own. But ‘mind’ is just relative potentiality, a conceptual structure or prediction. Meaning as existential rela...
Feminist intentionality is to draw attention to the conservative patriarchal myth that all power is quantitatively determined. It is predictable that ...
You really do have no clue about women at all, do you? You’re just projecting your patriarchal perspective of ‘power’ onto a narrow oppositional persp...
Ridiculous fear-mongering. From someone who has lived and worked with mostly females a lot, the world is not better off without males. That they may s...
It does negate the limitation as ‘forced’ - the limiting factors apply to life, not to our capacity to act against these factors. Dissatisfaction and ...
Oh my god! - WHAT report card? This is apologistic nonsense. Where I come from anything above 50% is considered a ‘pass’, but that’s honestly beside t...
They did ‘badly’ according to whom? An academic standard? What does that have to do with happiness? If the highest possible score was 10 (infinite hap...
This has nothing to do with an F on any imaginary paper - it has to do with your assertion that “the amount of evil, on balance, exceeds the amount of...
“The amount of evil, on balance, exceeds the amount of good.” This assertion is based on an assumption that ALL thinking about the world is reducible ...
I’m NOT claiming that it’s justified and I’m not arguing FOR procreation. My position is non-moralistic. It is YOUR narrow view that all harm (intenti...
You predict incorrectly - I’m saying that we don’t need to procreate in order to find a more satisfying way of life - and that procreation/child-reari...
necessary: (of a concept, statement, etc.) inevitably resulting from the nature of things, so that the contrary is impossible. Humans naturally have t...
Anyone looking for evidence of matriarchies ‘ruling over’ societies is not going to find much, because it won’t be structured as an overt power. Matri...
I still think you are assuming this ‘agenda’ as a package deal of limited potential, which parents have in mind prior to having a child, and buy into ...
Everything else I agree with, except this. I honestly don’t believe that ANY violence between humans as self-conscious beings is necessary. That doesn...
I don’t really think men hate women because of ‘sex’ - I think some will say that - and even convince themselves that it’s true - because it’s one asp...
And this ambiguity of language was why I didn’t bring it up initially. When does a disagreement or argument turn into a ‘fight’? Who makes that call, ...
So, by ‘de facto’, you mean that it ISN’T, it’s only perceived to be, and is assumed to be so... by you. How does anyone know that ‘entailed in a huma...
