Devans99 is just impossible :(

Scotus supported "ontological individualism" against certain Islamic thought that said we had a world soul. Scotus sided with Aquinas on this. Aquinas...

Every video and article I read about one-to-one-correspondence is garbage. They arbitrarily move infinity, place the first units together, send them o...

Free will requires reason, but reason is prior to free will. Likewise, gravity causes time, upon which it is dependent to work. There is no contradict...

He is obsessed with proving God, so he ain't in my Heaven :)

You need to give up the the Newtonian idea of time
January 01, 2020 at 19:37
They would have to see the infinities side by side in their infinity to know they are the same size. Cantor says he can find numbers that aren't in th...

The one-to-one correspondence thing is a hoax I think. They just line up a few terms and say "it goes on forever so they are the same size". You can d...

The materialist option says that time started with the first motion. The first cause was gravity in the first motion. There is absolute space but not ...

Epigenetics has not proved we can evolve into whatever we want. It's is not Sartre
January 01, 2020 at 17:29
So your argument on this thread is that there is not a contradiction in math, but that it's incomplete?
January 01, 2020 at 17:27
Levi-Srauss, who's "mythic discourse" is very Jungian, said "since the purpose of myth is to provide a logical model capable of overcoming a contradic...

I've been told that if I truly understood calculus, I would see how there is no contradiction in something spatially being finite and infinite at the ...

Exactly mr. undercover. The world is an Esher painting

I think they are commesurable only in the sense that there is infinity contained within the finite in geometry and in our world

Descartes thought our thoughts of God had a certain perfection that assure of us His existence. This i done in three ways. One, because the idea is to...

Bell's theorem is basically Godel' theorem from a different perspective. There is randomness and uncertainty in the world. But actually the random rea...

He has no arguments to prove Aquinas was right and Descartes wrong about "substance", yet he accepts it as gospel truth that there is an invisible sub...

I think that humans are the pinnacle of the material process. The law of karma is in our genes. The universe is only merciful in the sense that it all...

He is a fundamentalist Catholic who thinks all philosophies that don't agree with Thomism can be lumped into one theory.
December 31, 2019 at 18:19
The acetophenone thing is interesting. If someone, with full knowledge and full consent, does something against their true conscience, the only way to...

Bill Clinton was a huge fan of Ken Wilbur and Obama has taken up this communal theology. It just as bad as Trump's fundamentalism. I think the univers...

Hallucinations limited? Out with the afterlife being eternal then. That's fine. Maybe consciousness can't sustain eternity.
December 31, 2019 at 17:47
It's interesting, yes. But I do worship matter. Every object around is my idol. It's fun!
December 31, 2019 at 17:44
They say materialism like us still believe in religion because matter becomes sacred for us
December 31, 2019 at 17:12
A length that is irrational comes into play when you have a length that is the "smallest" length as the right sides of the triangle. The irrationals a...

I ain't singing kumbaya with Mengele. If you think your him, you're screwed

"No finite thing has genuine existence." Pierce So not even free will? "the barbaric conception of personal identity must be broadened" Pierce

I want to know if Catherine is a non-dualist. From my experience with Leo from actualized dot org, the real ones are an amoral-thinking bunch. Leo say...

I read that last year. He is biased One of the links on here says "there is no escape from the fact that one’s presuppositions lead either to a transc...

Absolute space seems obvious. Absolute time, no

There is a world of difference between German romanticism and New Age. The subconscious is the medium between our biology and the conscious agent. But...

The elephant in the room is the New Age using The Secret to deny fundamental reality. Omg the elephant is taking a dump

A rod is real and can be divided infinitely. Lines are just our way of mulling over the world in our brains
December 30, 2019 at 05:37
Your just creating an Obama big shining star for everyone to get lost in and have orgies!
December 30, 2019 at 05:34
Studies on biology can never take away the truth of free will and wrongdoing, even if we have to adopt compatabilism as our option.
December 30, 2019 at 05:17
Peter Lynds simply rehashed Bergson on Zeno. Time is not a thing, so dividing it is rather arbitrary. The paradox of Zeno is about the line segment it...

I don't believe in God. I have speculated about a Sol Invictus, but there is not evidence of him. Hindusim, it is true, usually doesn't have koans. Wh...
December 30, 2019 at 05:12
I for one accept the reality of the world as we perceive it. It's a round triangle of a world and I think thats cool
December 30, 2019 at 04:35
This is just Hinduism without the koan. It's mushy spiritualism, without even the sense there is a God your communicating with
December 30, 2019 at 04:33
Synechism "denies that all is merely ideas, likewise that all is merely matter, and mind–matter dualism." Uh, so then everything thing is a super-spir...

Matter has the property of the Continuum and Continuity. That is why there is a contradiction in matter, which we should adore ("I worship my own eyes...

I think Mapping the Medium is a supporter of the freaky doctrines of Time Freke and Ken Wilbur. Objects have matter and form in them. There is the ato...

The road of fear of the Void within the contradiction of Matter is superior to the way of beauty of the forms and natures. The compressions of calculu...

Believing in natures is random. It depends on culture and psychology

Hegel was much more explicit about the spiritual than Spinoza, but I understand Hegel as neologism, so the spiritual is nothingness, the flip side of ...
