It's kind of self-evident, isn't it? Meaning auto-supposes self-identity. When talking about the soccer match, thinking of the neighbor, etc, we autom...
Any such mathematical object always has zero Volume in higher dimensions (here I'm using generalized Volume): A point has zero length, a line has zero...
Just some folk are. :) There are a bunch of areas in computer science on computability and such, e.g. ... Computational Complexity Theory (Stanford En...
How are abstracts externalized in the first place? Compare: Some are loved, some are hated, many have known love, many have known hate. After an extin...
@"Devans99", you should know that the extended reals is not a semigroup, a group, a ring or a field. There are certain contexts where such (sort of "a...
You could say that. Reminds me a bit the the Olympians. Once someone took a good look at Mount Olympus and didn't find them, they had relocated to :sp...
Say, \sum_{n \in \mathbb{N}} f(n) is not a process like going shopping and returning home, it's a mathematical expression. Convergence and divergence ...
@"Devans99", how about just treating undefined as a predicate, rather than a value (if you really must remain technical about it)? 1/0 = undefined (n)...
Good question. I'm sure any almighty universal deity can come up with something quite good (if there's something sufficiently important to impart). Ar...
And with that you're now just declaring that your story (Catholic style?) is the be-all-end-all really real truth, incidentally contrary to ... That's...
The topic isn't so much spirituality as such, or ... As an aside, I think Papal infallibility is perhaps taken with a grain of salt these days (in pra...
@"Pfhorrest", you seem better at reading than some other commentators. (y) You forgot the rest. And authorship, self-legitimization, disproportionalit...
Some evidence, observations and such (some mentioned prior): no reports of Yahweh having informed a group of people of Him and the importance of the B...
Right. Per my comment a bit earlier, this stuff is more about the preachers. (Apologies for any confusion on that.) Compare this list (Wikipedia) with...
Some related inquiries, exemplifying the topic of the opening post: Did Yahweh inform you (the preacher) about Him and the importance of the Bible, or...
Thanks for the comments. Having scriptures self-legitimize/authenticate/authorize/certify doesn't quite work (especially not if there already are ulti...
Just to clarify, the opening post is about authentic legitimacy of preachers (indoctrinators proselytizers), not so much about whether Yahweh is real ...
, at least all the others are taken, you can't be them. When you think of "self" as mind, experiences, all that, then "self" is temporal, process-like...
Right. John Chau might have raised such a reason when going on a preaching mission to the Sentinelese. I think there is tension with ... • Yahweh has ...
Hm it's simple enough, isn't it? • the Biblical Yahweh is only known from manmade scriptures • Yahweh has not authorized Christians to speak on His be...
Removed. No. Nothing here is about me. It's about the argument in the opening post. Could in principle have been posted by anyone. Poster irrelevant t...
Apologies in advance for not having read the whole thread. Why not start simpler? Something like: true and false are properties of propositions. Relat...
Oh, , voting definitely not mandatory. It's just running an argument about proselytizers/indoctrinators. , story-telling is great. This is more about ...
Yeap (y) , I'd just refer to the scientists that study such things, and then perhaps ask: What's the worst that can happen if we (try to) do something...
It doesn't seem that quantum mechanics can downright bridge the gap (Levine, Chalmers). How would that work? Suppose, for the sake of argument, that t...
Incidentally, I've witnessed something vaguely similar: I grew up in rural, small-town America — and I can tell you the real reason why people love Do...
Regarding the post above... Sample reasoning: 1. think of rocks, small and large, different shapes, multicolored and dull-colored 2. individual specim...
Isn't the philosophical verbiage (meandering) a bit misleading here? Perception depends on the perceived either way. /uploads/files/rq/oczns6a1whrabwf...
Of course you will miss some, most actually, but not all. You can't miss examples thereof. So, that's moving into exactly what various things are, not...
Maybe this is a bit better, or at least closer to what I was on about ... spatial - objects (left-right, top-bottom, front-back, where) temporal - pro...
I'm not sure that insisting on such a definition is fruitful (or feasible). If you insist on defining the term "exist" by other terms, then you've jus...
Some of the typical categories that seems to come up regularly ... real and fictional maybe existentially mind-independent and mind-dependent (qualia?...
A general theory of everything (not just the unification thing) — a model — would have something like a one-to-one mapping with the world. If we had s...

So (per Feynman), magic = don't know ? That at least confirms the argument in the opening post, then (except for the implicit baggage that magic carri...
