It was fun while it lasted but generally i don't like talking to you. You have 26, 563 posts on a philosophy forum and you don't even know what philos...

George Carlin was a raving manic. Disgusting
March 23, 2025 at 03:48
You say "Metaphysics is thinly veiled erotica". I see nothing erotic about the beauty of knowledge. Erotica is the physical, love itself as matter its...

Men do bad things too. Female influence is extremely powerful though, behind very strong man is a strong woman you could say. The mystery of humanity'...
March 23, 2025 at 01:38
Yes
March 23, 2025 at 01:32
And yet you can't even reformulate a single one of my arguments
March 22, 2025 at 21:38
Yes but i'm probably right in most of what i say.

My biggest disappointment in life has been females. They make for terrible friends and even worse girl friends. The world would be better run by guys ...
March 22, 2025 at 16:37
Think of how Spinoza held that the world was God's thought and that this God had no free will. Then think of how for Hegel the world is Spirit enfoldi...

March 22, 2025 at 06:40
It's very first principles are wrong. Like in history when guys started questioning Euclidean postulates? Just because you misunderstood my arguments ...
March 22, 2025 at 00:57
Same with the odd vs whole. Oh it's *different* with infinities of infinities? This is not established in that video
March 22, 2025 at 00:52
Exactly. It's useful, not true. Like Gabriel's horn. Obviously false. I've presented at least 5 cogent arguments against infinity on this thread and y...
March 22, 2025 at 00:45
No you don't know how a countable infinity relates to uncountable and their qualities before the argument starts. You couldn't try? You're dishonest B...
March 22, 2025 at 00:41
Then state my argument, or at least ONE of them, in your own words
March 22, 2025 at 00:20
Why couldn't its foundations be wrong?

For you to honestly address the issue

Then answer my arguments

This is just repeating the video. What infinity are we talking about with the first hotel situation. We haven't established what infinities are so may...

The very first step of the video i question. If all the rooms are filled you can't move 1 to 2 and 3 to room 4 because all the infinite rooms are alre...

There is the same problem with the odd vs the whole numbers. With these, imagine them going off into the horizon. In how they explain this, they just ...

There are many physicists who say the infinite-in all-directions-universe is expanding into hyper-dimensional multiverses. I would say Aristotle was r...
March 21, 2025 at 05:53
Like when "experts" say the universe is infinite and expanding. That's called mental masturbation. A bad habit
March 21, 2025 at 03:58
I didn't say the continuous was discrete. I said the continuous doesn't make sense because spatial infinity squished into a finite size makes no sense...
March 21, 2025 at 03:57
So does this subdividing result in a series of discrete steps, or goes on forever? Since it's continuous, it must sink down in there forever, which do...

March 21, 2025 at 02:48
So "nothing" sound pleasant?
March 21, 2025 at 02:40
Why can't you just divide the "unified whole" if it's not discrete?
March 21, 2025 at 02:08
Remember how he has nothing sublate itself and being and being in turn sublate nothing and itself. Everything sublates everything else in Hegel, altho...
March 21, 2025 at 01:54
Continuous means infinitely dense, which in turn would be either then discrete or an infinite series of steps

You must think finitism is repressive or something. Anyway, explain how a two meter segment placed parallel to a one meter segment is longer when you ...

Because as Berkeley said they are ghosts of departed quantities. You are adding up nothing and arriving at something. Why do you post on this forum at...

When you "imagine" infinite points on a segment you are not really imagining an infinity. I realize that the infinity gets smaller and smaller, but it...
March 20, 2025 at 01:44
It doesn't seem intuitive to me at all that space divides to infinity and yet has a finite limit. To my mind that is a direct contradiction, like a ro...

I concur that the intellect gives happiness, but so does the will. It's interactive. Schopenhauer was so dark in his writings because he placed will o...
March 19, 2025 at 22:02
How can nature have anything infinite within it?
March 19, 2025 at 18:38
In our human form understanding and will might be one faculty with two modes. One "soul". But in metaphysical questions of the origin of the world dis...

Ye but that's assuming there is no motive power to begin with
March 19, 2025 at 17:17
Whether will is truly free with or without Reason is a good debate. Which is greater, intellect or will? It seems will is because intellect is complet...
