Hume said he disagreed with Zeno but he therefore seemed to know about that school of thought

I think Hume thought motion was mysterious because of Parmenides

Mathematics says that objects are made of an infinity of zeros. So nothing, through the medium of infinity, creates something. Is this accurate?

The first movement of the universe is beyond math, unless you are a Pythagorean

Every shred of absolute time has to be abandoned in order to make sense of the universe without positing an eternity of time

Descartes is a platonist, for whom the world is in constant flux and to us is Maya

Where does the world come from in solipsism if nothing comes from nothing

Free will is not creation out of nothing. Once a brain is formed, that ontology IS free will. The brain doesn't emit freedom. It is freedom, it is fre...

How do we know what free will is if we have never had it?
