OK. So you uphold that the concept (which has been around in the history of mankind for some time) is vacuous. While neither agreeing nor disagreeing ...

Not to be rude but, in this thread, you've made it a habit to assume things I haven't expressed and most often don't believe. This will be true when i...

My point was and remains: By being 2 different infinities, they are thereby quantifiable as infinities wherein each individual infinity is demarcated ...

All emphasis mine. Um. Okay. I certainly don't understand what your stance is on whether or not infinite lines are countable. But I'm glad others like...

An infinite line is not metaphysical infinity. An infinite line is infinite only in length, not in width. Whereas metaphysical infinity would be infin...

Yea. That appears to roughly sum up the issue.

In other words, “countable” can only hold the valid usage in its mathematical senses when addressing things such as lines. Therefore, the concept of t...

There is such a thing as equivocation between two or more meanings or usages of a term, right? I repeatedly described countability in its non-mathemat...

If I understand you right, yes, every individual cognition as identity is delimited from other cognitions and hence bounded. Yes, and this holds true ...

You seem to be asking me to explain a commonly established attribute. If you’d bother to check the link to “infinity” I posted you’d find the followin...

agreed this is what I'm questioning. In attempts to simplify the reason for this thread: We have two well-established concepts: that of determinacy (s...

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, not to my satisfaction as expressed, no. Can not two points in a plane (with the plane itself determined by a mul...

and ... I can only interpret this as implying that to you causal determinism is meaningless or nonsensical, as is its notion of determinacy. But you'r...

Aright. What use do you take it to presently hold in the notion of causal determinism in particular? If you find that it holds different uses in this ...

OK, I get that. Tis why I've started the thread. But then, would you say that it is instead indeterminate? Neither determinate nor indeterminate?

Please do. Answer this question:

OK Banno. What would you say "to be determined" is? This in the ontological sense rather than the psychological.

no a straight extension in space see my latest post for the definition also mentioned in the OP no Let him play! As an self proclaimed anti-philosophy...

So far I don't find it being of use to alleviate the issue. Thanks for the input, though. What you say addresses determinacy in the sense of "that det...

What makes them countable if they are completely devoid of any boundaries? So might staying on topic be another step in the right direction.

That's where I'm currently stuck. It feels like I'd equivocating between apples and oranges. Yet both determinacy/indeterminacy and finitude/infinitud...

Right, and its countable as a unit on account of having some limits or boundaries via which it can be so distinguished. If we're in agreement on this,...

Is a geometric line - a maths concept - to you unbounded in all possible respects? Besides, again, the issue is one of whether such unbounded things t...

I specifically said the length is immeasurable. If one can discern the quantity of lines specified, then lines as a whole are indeed countable. Or wou...

Mea, in terms of what you've quoted, here's some reference: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/infinity/#InfiPhilSomeHistRema OP's question is one of ...

I'm in no way a mathematician; not my personal forte. Wanted to be forthright about that. But sure on elaboration of my philosophical reasoning regard...

How so? As background: I've read a little on Cantor's "Absolute Infinity" and find it to be a nice poetic conception. But I don't see any relevant con...

For whatever reason, his allusions to instincts always resonated with me and quenched the otherwise potential difficulty in not having conscious reaso...

I’ve found another supporting quote from within the chapter (Part IV Section II, page 214). This is in introduction to the notion of double existence:...

I agree that he had instincts in mind. My interpretation of his thought: though to a far smaller (else, more generalized) extent than lesser animals, ...

Best explanation for what if not for what is real or else what is really the case? But if you think the notion of reality is too overblown, even thoug...

“Most plausible” to me signifies “most likely to be real or conformant to reality”; to deem X most plausible is hence to provisionally accept X’s real...

Tangentially, to clarify something on my part in case this does need clarifying: Beliefs - at least as I’ve so far tentatively defined and understood ...

While it may not have been the best example I could have offered, you’re still overlooking a key ingredient that was stipulated from the beginning: la...

In the example provided, the mind predicts two conflicting alternatives are possible: wind-blown leaves or a small animal. Also given is that you do n...

Sure. Belief, in and of itself, would also apply to "justified true belief", which is the commonly accepted definition of descriptive knowledge. Which...

If it's not knowledge, such a frame of mind would result in at least two alternatives being tentatively entertained: at minimum, that of X being and t...

Hmm. I'll help you out with a truism: life needs to feed off life in order to survive. Still, as was the case with previous arguments, this does not p...

Whomever presumes that what you’ve quoted in regard to an Absolute Good constitutes my personal preference is, to be blunt, mistaken. To be clear, if ...

The thought is phrased in terms of absolutes, namely, absolute good. I take there’s no controversy to our current existence not being absolutely good....

I'll try to come back to this later, but can you better explain your meaning? As I so far interpret it, the "some" preferences still gets filtered by ...

OK, I see what you mean. But this in itself restricts one's otherwise freedoms of preferences to that which is deemed morally good. Thinking of those ...

In fairness, the reply you’ve quoted was strictly concerned with the purported strict existential dichotomy between victim or victimizer - which I fin...

I keep on overlooking the subtleties. You've pointed them out well. Here's a better justification for why I find the liars paradox to be gibberish: TM...

True. Maybe, more in keeping with "this sentence is false", might be "this square is not a square". But I get the the former has a more of self-refere...

Thanks for the reply! I know. But to me this derivative of the Epimenides paradox is as much pure gibberish as is the what might be called paradoxical...

As someone largely ignorant of formalized logics: The less technical format of the liar paradox (contrasted to "this sentence is false") is that of “s...

While I don’t purport to be an expert in applied formal logics, this seems worthwhile to mention: All apparent paradoxes not accounted for via (1) or ...

Hey, it was good debating with you.

So are we cool then ... or ought we tussle some more about something regarding the issue of the supernatural? :grin: For my part I've said what I had ...
