To a pragmatist abortion is stagnation. Something that is indicated by William: You're not saving yourself the trouble, you're sparing yourself the re...

It's always popular - even in the dreary hallways of sod's nihilism, positivity persists through inclination. Keep your PMA high. :ok:

And that works well, if you take in to account that Kant was being specific - of 'the box', as it were. If you go outside the box, then it might get a...

They are. If you think otherwise, do please tell me why.

Lying through all those examples, is dirtying those examples. Which is to say, if in lying you happen to gift someone a gold ingot, you'd be gifting i...

Could be. Could be that it's the opposite. But to be possibly either, it has to be both - is the absurdity I'm espousing. So to me, we're both right i...

A thing that outlines another thing, supposedly. Are beliefs propositional? To an extent, everything is - this statement being indicative of that. So ...
June 11, 2019 at 13:24
Well, yes - it does follow. What does not follow is that they can be found outside in the street - which would be subjective. How do you conceive what...

How so? Morality by itself adheres to right-being; so without the addition of naivete it fails to harm. To elaborate, how is right used for wrong with...

Art is art - shapes and shades. All opinion does is fill up one's bag with groceries. Whether you fill it with oranges or mangos, portraits or a few s...

No, I am not kidding. Here's an example - take a picture, 100 by 100 pixels. Infinitely zoom in - the picture is now infinitely large. Infinitely zoom...

Infinity amounts to one. You take one and you start stretching it out; that's infinity.

Or your skull is below the sky, and notes the sky through the imprint the sky leaves upon it - though it cannot directly note the sky. Of course going...

Wouldn't something have to objectively exist as a prerequisite, to be believed in?
June 11, 2019 at 07:18
Wouldn't the Learning Centre fit that purpose? Specifically the Questions section? A teacher's merit is his student.

@"Wallows" What are they going to ram next in to NYC, a hang glider or a blimp?
June 11, 2019 at 06:57
Yes, you would vivify the bat by extension; the bat will live through and as you.
June 11, 2019 at 06:54
How so?
June 10, 2019 at 19:20
That's fair. :ok: Carry on.
June 10, 2019 at 19:18
A stretch? Like how the arm is divided in to parts, and each part is just the arm extending or stretching itself out. And though you could consider th...

Well, if consciousness cannot be an illusion, all that stems from it would be equally genuine.
June 10, 2019 at 18:58
Wouldn't the mind remain objectively real?
June 10, 2019 at 18:46
Well, not people - just creatures; but I digress.
June 10, 2019 at 18:44
Well, it probably did, but 'we' didn't know about it - so it wouldn't matter, much.
June 10, 2019 at 18:37
You've done a fine service then; thank you! :up: One day that oat moat, will become an oat boat - so says the oat oath, brother. :pray:

An auxiliary tale. :clap: Will you be releasing a sequel, maybe a prequel?

Hence The corpse lives on, imperceptibly so - if we should compare its life with a non-corpse's. On the side, you should consider the consequences of ...

That which motions - lives. Of course, what about that which motions not of its own accord - like a corpse rolling down a hill? It too lives - perhaps...

Alright, continue wanting not wanting. :victory:

The number is one.

@"Merkwurdichliebe" You could've just said actual existence is conceived existence, and just add a 'not' before each term for the opposite. So and so.
June 10, 2019 at 12:09
Alright. But how would you constitute a country without its countrymen, its countrymen being foremost - inhabitants of the country?
June 10, 2019 at 12:03
Isn't Canada owned by its inhabitants? :chin:

Why? He's not wrong.
June 10, 2019 at 10:13
You're referencing it. So it does, somewhere; maybe not here.

You're not entirely made of strawberry blancmange and chocolate drops, so you're not their product. :clap:

Rorschach was a great villain. :smile:

Then how does he dream?
June 09, 2019 at 15:00
I would never discount the immediate part of my own partly-immediate cohesion; partly because I don't know how.
June 09, 2019 at 11:27
The issue I'm proposing is that the solipsist should be incapable of immediacy and following from that - experience. As a whole, the solipsist is inca...
June 09, 2019 at 11:16
Humor this. If And Then the solipsist, exists independently of immediacy, and is not necessarily immediate. By that, here's a wild notion - the moment...
June 09, 2019 at 11:02
But that would mean the configuration and recognition of cards is independent of its immediate certainty; is it? I'd actually stop at 'As soon as the ...
June 09, 2019 at 10:27
Aren't they both certain and nuanced? Both are immediate and both are dependent. Whichever you remove, you would be removing the whole thing; no? http...
