Here you are confusing "something that is logically contradictory" with the concept of being logically contradictory. I am referring to a directly per...
It doesn't matter how many people can conceive of a thing or how smart they must be. All that matters is that some mind, somewhere, sometime, and some...
What's wrong with saying other creatures can have conceptions or judgements of consent? Either way, it really doesn't matter if you think it's a good ...
The issue is that Metaphysician Undercover claimed that a square circle possibly exists: Depending on how one defines 'square' and 'circle', this conc...
OK, you are being very fair. I respect your definitions and simply therefore request that you proceed to answer my question using the following defini...
If I wanted to anger other people, there are much more efficient ways to do that than by providing reasoned responses, irrespective of whether or not ...
Good explanation, but I don't see anything fundamental or forceful about that principle. How can you prove to me that I can't have a conception of som...
If what possibility and conceivability turn out to be is something that indeed something that requires minds to be separate from what appears in the w...
Whether it is wrong or not is not in fact my prerogative. So long as idealism is even possible, it shows that your misinterpretations of conceivabilit...
The error here is to suppose that uniqueness is an inherent property of every particular. It's not. There's nothing in 'grass-green' that says anythin...
1. I agree that your '1' is a legitimate possibility, with the important edit that 'hasn't been conceived' be changed to 'can't be conceived' 2. I agr...
It's not obvious at all to me that possibility is different than conceivability, and your comments on the matter are presently insufficient to show th...
This is an answer typical of someone who has never take a class on ZFC or basics of set theory. You are using "undecideable" in the sense of computabi...
No, but you at least have a much better understanding of my problem now. To say that something is (formally) undecidable in an axiomatic system is to ...
No, I don't think these paradoxes show anything in the world like this. For example, we have never found "the set of all sets that does not contain it...
Non sequitor. The truth of m-theory's definitional observation does not contradict my statement that Q-->(P AND Q) (by definition of Q and entailment)...
"If you are without power, then by definition, you cannot also have all the powers."-Of course. You are saying P-->not Q (by definition of P) I am sim...
Well yes, hence my original question. I am looking for a proof or serious argument that would give me a good reason to believe that "the universe is m...
Not quite, something that is not all-powerful could still be all-powerful, because if it were all-powerful in addition to not being all-powerful, this...
But I don't need to conceive of every single property of the universe in order to have a conception of the universe. My mind can simply grasp the idea...
I don't see anything wrong about being uncertain about uncertainty. Keep in mind I don't see anything necessarily wrong with something being self-refu...
I guess I'm unclear on a lot of things you find important or relevant here. For the sake of this question, all I care about is whether or not there is...
Definitely not in agreement with the notion of physics determining what is possible or with the notion of self-consistency determining what exists eit...
The point though is that conceivability does not preclude the possibility of someone else or myself having a conception of it at any time prior to its...
What sort of answer is this? Of course a planet so hot that it rains gemstones is conceivable, I have a mental image of it right now. And I could easi...
You've answered your own question. On a very basic level, remind your self that "wanted" is literally using the past tense. Did you want that thing in...
