How familiar are you with Ontic Structural Realism?

I’m trying to understand. You seemed to be differentiating temporally between the agenda being forced and someone being created. But here you are meta...

Creatio ex nihilo is an expression of a lower limit to awareness. Creatio ex dei simply consolidates awareness of this limit itself as ‘something’. Th...

In specific response to this, which is ALREADY framed as man vs woman: Assumed by who? By the one who got hit?

Hang on...I thought forcing the agenda is identical to intentionally creating a person - you’re saying they are two different events? How are they dif...

Damage to what or to whom? People cause collateral damage all the time. But it’s only immoral when said ‘damage’ is caused to someone... Onto who now?

Another example of ignoring the existing qualitative aspects of a relationship to frame one’s position as ‘logical’. There is no logical position in a...

Potentiality is not productive achievements - it’s a perception of energy, capacity, knowledge, skills, education, wealth, connections, relationships,...

How can you prove this assertion? The agenda is a fundamentally illogical framework. A strawman and a scapegoat. And then there is the concept of ‘som...

Okay - I see the difference now. You’re talking about entertaining a possibility. Potential choice is how you get from this ‘virtual choice’ to a new ...

I think this ‘preference package’ is not so much ‘preinstalled’ as based on a temporal distribution of limited attention and effort at the moment any ...

Seriously? “She hit me first” - that’s the argument? What are you, five? If men would rather not be hit by people, then they should stop pretending it...

Oh dear...You really are only seeing what you want to see... I say embrace the CHAOS - throw out the agenda and value the full diversity of potentiali...

Interestingly, Greek had at least three different words that we now translate into English as ‘to see’. Blepo refers to physically looking or noticing...

Why don’t you want to die? What is so important about survival that we must strive for it? You do know that it’s ultimately a lost cause - nobody surv...

I’m not saying it’s not possible - I’m saying that it’s not something an individual can achieve. It’s going to take more than navel-gazing or moral im...

Your limited acceptance of collaboration reflects your general perspective. You are literally pulling in the opposite direction to those you label ‘pr...

I had already said that prediction and trial and error were nowhere near as efficient as reason, so I’m not sure why you still feel the need to push t...

If you’re unwilling to understand beyond your own perspective, let alone beyond language’s structure of subject-predicate-object, then why bother aski...

Ha! I guess it depends on your perspective - that’s not how I would have described vagueness myself (I’m an Arts major, after all), but I can see it n...

Sure. The notion of independence can suggest the existence of a particular something - implying a certain substance or concreteness that just isn’t th...

Randomness is the variability of any structure. Structure is, by its very nature, a limitation. Music quality is not just about melody.

You’re still limiting any possible relation with darkness to what can be asserted within language structure. Stop trying to describe or define darknes...

Again - what object? We’re not talking about a carriage going across the road, but about the quality of darkness. If you notice a relative darkness in...

Darkness is a quality, and even attributed to an object, it is relative both to our perspective, and to the dimensional structure of the object. A roo...

Sure - but the idea is to get beyond this limited relation to a subject-object dichotomy. What if there was no ‘object’ as such? What if we didn’t exi...

I’ve come to recognise at least one transcendental quality in any plausible understanding of the system - a firstness, or that which is as it is indep...

What object?

Let me ask you - are YOU willing to collaborate with people who choose (for whatever reason) to procreate? You think that collaborate means ‘follow my...

Once found, we can only relate to this objectivity in our own way. Doesn’t mean we can’t find it in the first place. It is our interpretation that is ...

What you’re talking about is a flip in the qualitative attribution of ‘loyalty’ - from a person’s loyalty to their leader, to a leader’s loyalty to he...

Reason doesn’t always have a choice in the matter. Take QM, for instance. Its logical equations were originally determined by...prediction and trial a...

The external relation for Peirce was unconditional love. In this sense, quality is indefinite, and not entirely dichotomous to quantification. Reasoni...

The notion of ‘power’ in matriarchal society would be more associated with qualitative potential or creative capacity than any quantifiable consolidat...

Reality is not reducible to a binary value. Natural selection is contingent upon both the random variability and logical consolidation of energy. The ...

Agreed. It is the ‘you could then wonder what could rule out’ that I was referring to. This process of energy from imaginative possibility to actualit...

Conceptual structure is never purely logical, despite how we may perceive it. Either it has a qualitative aspect that determines its significance and ...

I get that, and it sounds interesting. This ‘upward building material being’ is a qualitative variability, in my view - there is no certainty of what ...

Ok, you still don’t understand what I mean by collaboration. Within a system, there are basically four ways individuals can ‘work together’: Communica...

So long as you assume consciousness, sure. But if you need to distinguish between conscious and non-conscious, then you need a more accurate understan...

Probably because your language is so affected, and I’m trying to get you to see past that. It’s your claim that this dissatisfaction is inherent that ...

I’m not saying it’s acceptable, and I’m not saying they do love the person they’re fighting with - I’m saying that they could still be getting what th...

It COULD be anything - it CAN be narrowed down - this is the difference between possibility and potentiality. It’s where conceptual structures - predi...

But that doesn’t explain the whole, only what it can produce. I’m not defending the ‘nothing exists’ conclusion, in case you were wondering. But I do ...

But the explanation will be incomplete as such, because it cannot include its own relation to reality in the explanation itself.

Sorry if I missed your earlier posts - I didn’t get any notifications from them, for some reason. There’s a lot there and my time is limited, so if yo...

Where are you trying to get to? Awareness as information in relation to ‘other’ gives us a basic structure of information we can apply to all levels o...

That’s not really how I see it, although I understand your distinction as a reduction IF we only consider living systems to be aware. I consider consc...

Why should I try to understand my oppressor? Isn’t it enough that I hate being forced to do this or that? Can’t I just be dissatisfied with being born...

There’s no need for me to advocate the complete cessation of suffering - it stands to reason, all on its own. It is only for me to understand what tha...
