Are you reincarnated?
August 28, 2020 at 19:03
But math itself is an objective truth, just like Platonism and abstract ideas. How does that square your circle? But those logical structures seem ill...
August 28, 2020 at 19:02
Gosh, are you assuming Time is not in nature? Jeez, you atheists not only like to drop F-bombs (are angry), you're really unsophisticated too LOL! htt...
August 28, 2020 at 18:57
But mathematics is an objective truth. I don't understand how they can be arbitrary? Please explain!! Does that mean consciousness may be explained in...
August 28, 2020 at 18:46
My answer was Time. And time is a noun. I don't understand, I answered your question, how is that a non sequitur...or did I box you into the corner , ...
August 28, 2020 at 18:38
Hahahahahaha
August 28, 2020 at 18:31
Time is noun, no? LOL Gosh, trolling, trolling trolling...are you angry too? https://www.bing.com/search?q=time+definition&src=IE-SearchBox&FORM=IESR3...

Hey 180, come join the party! Or, are you another one of those angry atheists that Einstein talked about LOL. Gee, what a paradox, an atheist who does...
August 28, 2020 at 18:26
Oh, well let's also then add to Gödel, Heisenberg (uncertainty principle). LOL
August 28, 2020 at 18:23
Mathematics. You know, mathematical abstracts, Platonism, etc.. Great. we agree! Logic can't help us!!! Does that mean super-natural is an alternative...

Time. Do your homework Timmy!! LOL Please don't take this the wrong way, but you may want to study him a bit more. I'd recommend the book The Mind of ...
August 28, 2020 at 18:12
Hi Timmy! Please enlighten us!! Oh wait, you're just trolling again. LOL I stand corrected, you're back for more punishment!!!!!
August 28, 2020 at 17:46
That explanation doesn't seem to square with the laws of nature themselves, nor does it square with the existence of a conscious being known from hist...
August 28, 2020 at 17:43
So abstract models are natural then, from experience? No exceptions taken, since in our context; Jesus, Platonism, etc. etc. can be abstract models ab...
August 28, 2020 at 16:28
You're welcome. One thing it didn't mention (among other's) is the idea that time itself, is not as illusionary as the change in time, itself. A disti...
August 28, 2020 at 15:42
And how would you define it then? What are 'abstract models' in themselves? Is that some form of Platonism? Or is it some incomplete mathematical axio...

God bless Frank. I think he meant well, it's just that more often than not, he seemed like a fish out of water. Not to mention his emotions (which are...

You might find this interesting, in thinking about 'unity of opposites' when it comes to such dialectic reasoning here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
August 28, 2020 at 13:40
...not exactly sure what all that means. I would say to you, don't be afraid to embrace the concept of super-natural. As I said, (in our context) it's...
August 28, 2020 at 13:25
No exceptions taken! (The concept of nothing is logically necessary, for there to be something.)

I'm not following that... . How does that explain the inherent flaws from our natural laws of the universe and your conscious existence ? You're not a...

Which is full of paradox and uncertainty, and are provably incomplete and inconsistent (Godel). And so how does your natural experiences help you in y...
August 27, 2020 at 22:43
Explain why it's redundant or useless as a distinction (?). I look forward to your response. Are you saying that all historical figures were fictional...

Today dumper-Trumper suggested that the NBA is a political organization. OMG, how absurd is that coming from the president of the United States? He ha...
August 27, 2020 at 22:19
Yes and no. We know that the laws of the universe are full of paradox and uncertainty. Godel's theorem warns us that the axiomatic method of making lo...
August 27, 2020 at 21:46
Are you making a mutually exclusive declaration? Have you read the old testament wisdom books?

You might embrace: 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' - that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know--John Keats Welcome!!
August 27, 2020 at 15:58
A wonderful paradox! Nicely said.
August 27, 2020 at 15:25
:up:
August 27, 2020 at 15:21
Agreed! Yet another paradox for the Atheist to resolve!! The irony there is, that 'nothing' then becomes just a Platonic ideal; an abstract mathematic...
August 27, 2020 at 15:18
I didn't see anyone mention the paradox/illusion of time, so I thought I would add this to your notion of our "perceptions of reality" statement. http...

Correct; hence: Amen: What Janus is about to say is false. Janus: Amen has just spoken truly. Yet, the sentences, in themselves, are coherent and comp...

Surely you're joking! I thought the guy was found guilty of discriminating against African-Americans in his rental properties? Any current efforts to ...
August 26, 2020 at 21:45
What does that mean? If it wasn't for the press pointing out some of dumper-trumper's misgivings (either lies about someone or something, or say's 'th...

The statements themselves are a priori just like mathematical truth's. That's why it's analogous to Gödel (Gödel did the same thing in his experiment)...
August 26, 2020 at 12:57
Mww! LOL yep I remember that in my studies of Existentialism. Sort of a huge topic that deserves a separate thread. The particular distinction of pred...
August 25, 2020 at 22:25
The point you keep missing was Wayfarer's platonic ideals from the simple standpoint of physical v. metaphysical. Like mathematical abstracts, they ca...
August 25, 2020 at 22:12
I agree, particularly when you mistakenly conflated mass with reality :joke:

Useless for whom?
August 25, 2020 at 19:42
Great! So you stand corrected. Those things have no mass, yet are real. As far as something existing outside the mind (phenomenology), and/or mathemat...
August 25, 2020 at 17:09
Nice! That raises more questions than it answers. Here are a few to ponder: 1. Are feelings subjective or objective? 2. Are the laws of nature indepen...

If it has mass, then it's in reality. — tim wood Does the will to survive have mass :snicker: Does 'Doubt' have mass? Or how about 'Reason'?
