Are you familiar with Calculus? The point at which a car is traveling down a road when it passes a stop sign is similar to a derivative. I feel you mi...

It should also be noted that a free market is to some degree contigent on whether a nation wants to have a global international bean counter free mark...
March 20, 2020 at 02:58
As we all know restricting a market by trying to limit foreign goods (key word limit but not completely prohibit) will raise prices on that good, howe...

I'm at lunch so I'm not going to argue all the way back to the original bear example. But yes I agree there is a time delay and or an iteration of eve...
March 10, 2020 at 16:12
I've said multiple times what I was arguing against. Do you remember the bear example you gave? Once again, libets experiment doesn't dictate or certa...

People's reactions and emotions are very complex. You treat the human psyche as though we are an insect. What is your article that supports what you s...
March 09, 2020 at 23:57
Nope. Try again. Perhaps you are misinterpreting WebMD or is that your own philosophy? That doesn't line up with reality

I can promise you even people who stay and don't run from the bear are still scared, its not that simple.

If two objects with velocities both move away from a given position that proves there are discrete positions. No where in the book a "brief history of...

I'm actually in the middle of something right now. I'll get back to you later. I've been drinking a little bit so i can't quickly reply with a quick a...
March 04, 2020 at 22:38
Did you see the example, how does that not prove that discrete positions in space are not a reality? Do you have a counter example? Relative time and ...

When you say continuous motion, who would argue with you on that? Perhaps i just don't know what you meant by that. I did read the OP carefully. As fo...

I'm not sure i have any suggestions for Commensurabilism. Seems more valid then most of the typical alternatives.

Just a conversation. This entire forum is just banter, ridiculing (i don't care about the spelling), and conversation.

I understand that theologians say that god is infinite but i don't even know that they know how to explain themselves. This concept in theology is rar...
