Fair enough. It is more of a philosophical synthesis from a mathematical foundation.

Doing is doing something; being is doing nothing.

Try 'The Pattern Paradigm'.

Why would anyone care?

And the conclusion is $=t? Time is money?

When people talk of god I tend to think of Father Christmas. Does this help?

It seems to be the general consensus is that what is certain in philosophy is only cogito ergo sum and some semblance of the existence of a real world...

That is not a real world example. Apartheid had nothing to do with loathing.

The truth doesn't have to be disappointing. For many it is exhilarating.

I didn't know that. What does analytical philosophy analyse? Presumably it analyses normative values and beliefs that are just as likely to be 'false'...

The finite number line is a fiction. It may be useful for some things, but to insist that it is somehow 'real' and try to make meaningful inferences f...

And what is that distinction? What do you believe to be true?

Energy is like money... it makes the world go around.

I don't know either! I think it must be a typo for 'meaning'.

The 'actual moon itself' only exists as part of the model.

oh I see. But then you have no means of comparing your 'facts' with 'what the facts are about' . For all you have is the model.

In actuality the signalling of virtue requires a halo, not a face mask.

What is the difference between a 'fact' and 'what a fact is about'? And how can the two be compared?

A fact is verifiable from the available data, an opinion is not.

Absolutely.

Quite so, but when you apply 'mending' to logic or words you lose the rigour of the logic and it becomes indistinguishable form non-logic.

The law is a 'fact', the opinion of an 'expert' is an 'opinion'.

Photons and other fundamental particles including the electron and proton, exhibit behaviour that sometimes can best be described by waves eg diffract...

She should use her magic powers and escape.

So others can learn?

As I see it, logic is the manipulation of symbols according to specified rules. Its application to words or statements is somewhat haphazard. There is...

What do you men by 'logic'? And how do you differentiate between 'practice' and 'application'?

Why should this be?

If it is considered that the loathing is likely to be long-term, as opposed to a starting point for understanding and ultimately acceptance, then it i...

I was thinking of things like "(I think therefore) I am", and : We create a model of the world , which is related to the phenomenon/numenon divide.

From the internet : 'impossible to doubt; unquestionable." PS The word is 'Indubitable'.

Statistics is a means by which large quantities of data can be succinctly summarised.

Loathing anything in the world is not productive, at least except as a starting point. One needs to understand and accept the world for what it is.

Yes of course. I would be happy to discuss it, I would be interested to know what others think on the topic.

Yes it may be a bit of a simplification. I just think back to times long ago, when people lived in small tribes of hunter-gatherers. I imagine that pe...

Suffering of the soul is caused by believing lies. The task then of philosophy is to determine a process by which lies can be distinguished from truth...

You can either refer to a fantasy world where A does indeed cause (or determine) B. Or otherwise if you want to refer to the 'real world' you will hav...

Its an assumption.

Infinity just means 'without end'.

Pure maths is entirely abstract. You are conflating pure maths with applied maths. Numbers in pure maths do not require counting.

Much of the problems of the foundations of mathematics are caused by the failure to distinguish between pure and applied maths, all too often the two ...

You cannot count an infinity of numbers, so time has got nothing to do with it.

Your definition of soul is quite different from what I found on the internet: 'the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded a...

It is generally more structured than general thinking. Also being a conversation, communication is required and hence the extensive use of words and l...

Philosophy is a conversation. Its purpose is to stimulate thought.

The only philosophies that can be harmful are those that are based on lies but claimed to be true.

Were you referring to my post? not sure.... What is a delusion? If you want to go down that path, then life itself is a delusion ... and certainly tru...
