Aristotle: a Prime Mover or maybe many of them, as the final cause of the world. As finality he or they move the formal and material in eternal time. ...
Maybe he forgot, while trying to see time as merely a concept of the mind, that time is like space: it's not a thing or an object. It's the measure wh...
I think time is the universe as a whole. We can only think in parts, but have an understanding of time, which although vague, represents the unity and...
But that can't exist like a ball on a pillow that has no time. If time is eternal the series can exist by the fact it moves while existing. What you p...
That's not an argument. The first premise is wrong. Those are two different things. Suppose we have minute one with the ball on the cushion. It contin...
Your way of constructing self creation makes no sense because you don't have eternal time. How can something create itself before it exists. Any way o...
Kant was probably influenced by Descartes remarks about analytic vs synthetic thinking. Descartes thought there were different kinds of mental operati...
You've described an eternal universe, although not necessarily just that. When Aristotle argued against an eternal universe unless there was a God and...
When children learn mathematics they learn a synthetic skill, not an analytic one. Sure they start out counting the numbers but even this is not analy...
An example of self creation would be an eternal universe. This caused by that caused by that, going backwards like a god dependent on a god dependent ...
The difference between analytical and synthetic is that there is no new knowledge produced in the former. Of course if someone didn't know the languag...
There is no one historical viewpoint. Which is to say there is no certainty about levels of probability for events that happened many years ago. A the...
Addition (to whom it may concern): When I ask myself "why am I here" I think of the good parts of my life and that becomes a goal to sustain wherein b...
Everything is chemical in biology. When you meditate to happiness you use chemicals as when you take shrooms or salvia. But with naturally finding hap...
Why would anyone not choose happiness if it's an option? It's good for oneself and available with effort. I'm proposing that will is what makes men in...
Now IQ skills may be slightly different subjectively than other skills even though they would fall under the field of intelligence. I wonder what evol...
I agree! Consider musicians like the Beatles that make creative music and play them themselves (which takes more than coordination). The result is cle...
Being rich causes more problems than it solves, as even Sean Hannity admitted. The richs' dilemma is that they are tempted to be greedy by the very th...
The rich will always cause inflation because it is how their psychology works. One equal state of ownership couldn't happen because there are too many...
The OT has brutal punishments and says slaves are property. So it's right to call it chattel slavery. The South had their arguments about why slavery ...
You admit slavery was part of the law but say it was benign. Why should I trust you when the Bible supports cutting wives hands off and setting people...
Defend satanic religions all you want, it's a fact that the Bible calls slavery "property". Lev 21 and 25 speak of perpetual slavery and Num. says to ...
Slavery was the same then as now. Slavery in the South had its apologists too.. Christians say a higher law is now in place but it should have always ...
The old Testament reports a "father" who treats his old Testament children different than the New people. In the OT he had husbands cutting off their ...
Donald Hoffman, mentioned earlier, can't say evolution happened then say it shows everything is an illusion because evolution is then an illusion. I w...
