I don't either. However I'm trying to parse the nature of Metaphysical features from our consciousness. Agreed, some people do, I don't. It still leav...
I think you captured the exact concern that the OP posits. My interpretation is the opposite. Firstly, these are Metaphysical queries. And as such, th...
Hey Doug! Okay. I was a bit confused, because I thought you said earlier that propositions were either true or false. And other examples I alluded to ...
Hey Doug real quick don't have a lot of time this afternoon but wanted to get back to you. At the risk of redundancy it's worth repeating the infamous...
I will definitely check out that link... . And I don't want to derail this thread whatsoever into a religious debate, as it would ruin the so called c...
Just quickly, of course, any judgment or proposition that relates to causation, cosmology, natural science, phenomenology, consciousness, et al. You k...
Hahaha, no. I think it went something like this: In Tony's New York accent, while in the car with the girl he loved (one of many): " Don't worry 'bout...
Hi Gnomon! Not to digress too terribly/off topic, but quickly, in your view: 1. Religion gives ( the concept of ) God a bad name. Any validity to that...
Yes, I agree there. Even if the combination of both Darwinism and timeless existence ( metaphysical abstracts or features of conscious existence) were...
Yes Tim, the question was somewhat rhetorical :wink: . The short answer is that there are a multitude of propositions that go beyond simple true and f...
I think the direct correlation or comparison there would be through the use of a Polygraph. :gasp: Otherwise, empirical methods of psychology can cert...
Hi Possibility! Well, I think you might be left with a paradox or quandary of sorts there, and that's ok. I appreciate your partial explanation as to ...
This is a long shot and perhaps a little bit different than in your context, but Heraclitus might be a possible source. Heraclitus’ vision of life is ...
Nice post. I happen to agree with your definition of the temporal-ness of time, and the timeless nature of, what I'll call, the concept of eternity in...
Gnomon is correct I believe, when he says that the rule only applies to an actor operating within space-time. However, in addition, the intriguing thi...
Interesting. Spinoza posited that there was a super turtle out of logical necessity. Similarly, he thought that the Universe was one in the same as ti...
No, the baby who suffers from interminable angst. No wait, you stand corrected, maybe we should throw the angry baby out!! That might end your sufferi...
28. 2/20/20. A federal judge sentenced President Donald Trump’s friend, the longtime Republican operative Roger Stone, to more than 3 years in prison ...
Abstract's such as music, art, mathematics. Then, the cognitive sciences that deal with the Will, wonderment, love, hate, and other emotive phenomena ...
Ok, but if I am trying to survive by dodging falling objects, should I use space relationships of perception, or hurry up and run calculations? If you...
Regarding your inability to answer the other one's, of course you had no intention of exploring those questions because they are questions about Being...
Ok great. If you're thinking it is true, why does mathematical abstracts exist when they are not needed to survive in the jungle? Or in making it perh...
Thank for your reply Stars! Before we get too far along, I want to make sure you didn't overlook my questions to you from the previous post. Do you th...
...Stop lying". Life is full of lies, get over it! Hahaha Seriously, you say you've studied the bible: see Ecclesiastes! Otherwise, you better hide, S...
You would have to support your argument with the exclusive virtues of survival, purposelessness, randomness and chance, to say the least. Accordingly,...
Thank you Stars for your thoughts. Of course my initial reaction is relative to the argument over the existence of mathematics itself and the laws of ...
I finally got a chance to read your paper a bit more thoroughly. One thought I came away with is the common notion of the paradox of time and eternity...
LOL, now that's a novel idea Frank! Perhaps he will get that reasoning; at least it seems consistent with same!! I'm praying for your soul, you are co...
Yes, I think it would be an oxymoron. For instance, I've been following Daniel Dennett's (positive Atheist) youtube debate's lately, and he is startin...
"Therefore, as you've claimed above, if it (these things) are indeed a myth, then I urge you to listen to yourself and those who are trying to guide y...
Ahh, there it is. The hidden agenda/ axe to grind. Well, not sure where to begin other than you seem stuck on misinterpretation. Regarding homophobia,...
Is there any import associated with regurgitating the ancient paradigms? In other words, what are you trying to argue for or against? It seems as thou...
In a word no. That theory is an old ancient paradigm/Judeo Christian translation issue. Think of sin or evil as intrinsic finitude. Imperfection in th...
Indeed. Take for example art, music and math, all of which, confer no Darwinian biological advantages. Or take consciousness and self-awareness. It go...
That's correct, God did it! Ok, my work is done here; next question. (Sorry Banno, you asked a simple question, you got a simple answer. I think it's ...
Great question! I have a few more (just a few regarding emotion). Did the jury acquit using emotion rather than logic? And is Trump's emotion of reven...
Post Impeachment truth and lies: 27. 2/13/20: President Trump told Fox News friend Geraldo Rivera on Thursday that he did send Rudy Giuliani to Ukrain...
His credibility is highly suspect. I have found that he can't be honest with himself or other's. After reading responses to mine and other poster's..,...
