Power comes from valid cognition. Degrees of valid cognition correlate with nobility, not corruption. See: eugenics.

Humans have a qualio-perceptual syntax https://ctmucommunity.org/wiki/Human_Cognitive_Syntax Individual colors are to be understood as states, corresp...

No. Where's the inconsistency? As I already explained: God is omnipresent, so everything is in God. God is not "in" anywhere, He is what everything el...
January 26, 2023 at 17:36
Hence if God exists in one universe He exists in all of them -- this is in other words, not "possible" but necessarily true. Then your formulation of ...
January 23, 2023 at 14:14
What did you want me to be clearer about? Elaborate? Of course it's a possibility that my belief about something is true. This wasn't what I originall...
January 22, 2023 at 17:40
OK, so you meant that my comment entails a contradiction? It's a different subject to that of possibility, which is what I originally commented to off...
January 22, 2023 at 10:17
God is in Heaven, but it doesn't mean He isn't anywhere else, especially if He is omnipresent. You referred to the idea of contradiction here. So I ad...
January 22, 2023 at 10:05
Why do you think so? Why can't God be present in Hell? If he built the place it doesn't seem as if there'd be a repulsive force barring any future int...
January 22, 2023 at 10:01
I said: You replied that it is merely "possible" that possibility is subsumed by God's omnipresence. This misses the point that actually, it is certai...

Misses the point + begs the question
January 05, 2023 at 16:20
"Possible" presumes a relation or syntax in which that which is possible is distinctly identified and related to the rest of reality. God by definitio...

Not possible because if some people want something, it has to come from someone else. Someone is always the loser in a democracy, and democratic elect...
December 22, 2022 at 10:56
"why do so many people continue to have a problem with it?" Mostly because the media, and BLMs average supporters, either claim or insinuate that only...
December 21, 2022 at 17:17
And the reason why this is actually what Someone is doing is because this appeal to the difference between methological and metaphysical naturalism is...
December 21, 2022 at 01:53
Key thing you are missing: whoever did, has to have a mind (which you already granted with your Santa-Giver analogy).
December 21, 2022 at 01:39
No, this is precisely what Someone is doing.
December 21, 2022 at 01:35
Yes, it's insisting that something I've said is in one category or equivocating it as some phenomena, then missing the point that this has no bearing,...
December 20, 2022 at 05:41
Yes, it's ignorentia elenchi, thanks! :up:
December 20, 2022 at 05:22
OK, so as I suspected, it has no more weight or relevance than the error that I made this post to point out.
December 20, 2022 at 05:15
Fallacies of irrelevence, I'll check it out, thanks. I was going with "fallacies of definition" but it's not obvious if it's possible to make it more ...
December 20, 2022 at 05:02
You said but someone didn't explain any distinction between the two and didn't explain why it would affect my argument. So you and they are claiming I...
December 20, 2022 at 05:00
What is it that I've failed to understand?
December 20, 2022 at 04:21
One in which mathematical descriptions didn't hold would be one of randomness or total chaos. Such a world wouldn't have any coherent perceptions, con...
December 20, 2022 at 04:05
Yes that's right. I'm not saying there's no valid distinction between natural and supernatural, I'm saying you can't just insist x is supernatural and...
December 20, 2022 at 04:03
OK. You attempt to present an argument or evidence that O. J. Simpson killed his ex-wife. I object that you won't be able to do this, because to estab...
December 20, 2022 at 03:59
No, I'm saying his imposition of natural vs supernatural makes no difference to the argument. I am not disagreeing at all with what they mean. I even ...
December 20, 2022 at 03:21
There's a dual relationship between knowing and being. For something to be, it has to be compatible with the laws of perception and attribution. Other...
December 19, 2022 at 05:59
Mathematical descriptions are capable of describing the world because they have an ontological status in the world; ie the world is mathematical in it...
December 19, 2022 at 05:01
The relationship between physics and mathematics isn't a scientific one; it is metaphysical. This is inconsequential for my argument however (it would...

Bernardo Kastrup's paper, it's very good: https://philpapers.org/archive/KASAOS.pdf
December 08, 2022 at 13:41
You are contradicting yourself; claiming that there are no true or false definitions rests on objectively true definitions with which you make the cla...
October 24, 2022 at 20:35
That's what my point was, which is why I was pointing out what the actual definition of reality is.
October 24, 2022 at 19:51
"By definition" refers to what something is, not what people conventionally think it is. E.g. Someone can say "true is by definition the opposite of f...
October 24, 2022 at 18:22
I think in absentia of the principle Nickolasgaspar and I put forward, people don't have a coherent idea of reality. An "independent" existence of the...
October 24, 2022 at 16:34
Your comment doesn't substantively address anything that I said.
October 24, 2022 at 09:02
Reality is by definition the containing medium of anything you're able to interact with. Any member of this domain by definition attains the descripto...

You claimed passing wind is non-linguistic so I refuted this claim. Same goes for rocks.
October 22, 2022 at 14:09
Passing wind can't be inherently non-linguistic otherwise you wouldn't be able to identify it and communicate it to us via language. In otherwords, it...
October 22, 2022 at 14:03
Not quite. You're correct to link grammar and logic. Logic itself is a language composed of a syntax. The nature of spacetime must ultimately be langu...
October 22, 2022 at 13:14
No nothing went over my head. You were pointing out something in agreement with what I originally stated, which was: When you responded asking whether...

I said it was our responsibility to create just outcomes in society; allowing our children to suffer injustices would be the opposite of that. The dir...
October 19, 2022 at 15:23
We have free will and it is our responsibility to create just outcomes in society. We will be judged by God commensurate with the extent to which each...

It's more than a claim - the page gives an argument. Causation is the telic (wilful) rearrangement of vocabulary according to a grammar or syntax
October 16, 2022 at 21:25
Intentionality which is anti-existence

true, if one equates causality to mean determinism
