The reason WHY every thing loops is because no matter which way you go or want to look every thing always comes back to the NOW. True, explain further... In very quick simple (will NOT yet be understood) terms; the Universe is infinite/eternal, but there is actually NO actual space nor time (many, ...

The Illogical Nature of Finiteness Finiteness is not logical on its own terms as no truth statement can be made without it inevitably canceling itself. WHY can no truth statement be made without it inevitably canceling itself? To say "this statement is finite" is to say this statement is ...

Presumably you believe that you neither believe nor disbelieve anything. Which is self-contradictory. But your view/belief is only a presumption. Therefore, it is NOT necessarily what IS true. There is no truth other than what is presumed to be true. Are you suggesting that whatever is presumed to ...

Since this thread came from another thread. The same issue still remains; What is the actual definition of the thing being talked about? The 'thing' being discussed in this thread is the 'Universe'. So, what is the definition of the 'Universe'. When the RIGHT definition is found/given, then the RIG...

I realize that I have made a counterintuitive statement as the title of this topic. But it makes perfect sense. Give me a moment to explain. Logic, by its nature is eliminative, but intuition gives plenty of thought options. So let's say that, like Socrates, we know that we do not know anything. Th...

TimeSeeker, do you mean that poetry is a better communication medium than elaborated code? Depends on your success criteria and context. If you just want to express yourself for its own sake - poetry is great. If human lives depended on it, you don’t want ANY interpretation/ambiguity. You want clar...

Well, I know I am a terrible teacher, but I am a fast learner. What does 'autodidact' mean to you? How do you define 'autodidact'? And you couldn’t teach me anything. The way you can NOT comprehend expressly clearly written things is obvious to me that I can NOT teach you any thing. So, what you wr...

Something that might demonstrate that the above statement was false? Well, I AM completely OPEN, so would you like to now demonstrate HOW My statement could be or was false? Remember if i neither believe nor disbelieve ANY thing, then that means i also would NOT believe, nor disbelieve, the above s...

So how open do you think you are? At times as open as can be. If i neither believe nor disbelieve any thing, then what would i not be open to? Something that might demonstrate that the above statement was false? Well, I AM completely OPEN, so would you like to now demonstrate HOW My statement could...

It doesn’t work this way for autodidacts. Based on your proven (dis)abilities some autodidacts are much faster teachers than others are. To some, language is NOT limiting at all. As you are trying to insist it is. To some autodidacts, through language, absolutely every thing in the Universe has alr...

It is a matter of whether what is suggested is interesting or not, an entirely subjective judgement. Yes very true. How OPEN, or closed, a person IS, to any thing, is entirely controlled by their already obtained subjective judgement. So how open do you think you are? At times as open as can be. If...

Well I would be open to what you suggest if I could be convinced of it , but I have to admit that I think the chances of that are pretty slim. The irony here is you can not be convinced if you are not open first. Human beings do not learn new things and be convinced of those new things, and then wo...

Language is a flexible medium in a continual state of evolution but at the same time it has to have some basic foundation to it otherwise communication can be rendered meaningless Its foundation is patterns created from sense data. The patterns are labelled. Some of those labels are communicable. I...
