Here are four metaphysical assertions - assertions about reality. 1 We humans have to perceive, know and describe reality in human ways. 2 There is no reality beyond the ways we humans perceive, know and describe it. 3 Humans enable reality to emerge, then to be realized as real and then cognized, ...

VA thinks my version of his P1 - 'we humans have to perceive, know and describe reality in human ways' - misrepresents it. And he denies the conclusion 'therefore, humans generate facts'. Instead, it's a 'system' that takes in inputs and generates outputs - conditioned facts, within a framework. So...

But we corrected the opinion that the sun orbits a flat earth, by finding out the fact of the matter - something that just is the case - the thing you say is a delusion. As I had argued, human relied on the human-based science-astrological FSERC to confirm the Earth orbits the Sun. Without humans, ...

Notes: I have already raised my threads to argue that Humans are the Co-creator of the reality they are in.

Notes: KIV

The only reality is a human-based reality. It is delusional to reify ideologically, a reality beyond a human-based reality. This is driven by an evolutionary default that generate desperate psychology. Btw, antirealists [Kantian] do recognize in one perspective, there is a reality that is human or m...

Hmmm...you're not a very good reader, are you? :? It does not say "there must be a starting cause," or anything like that, though indeed the conclusion shows that there would have to be. But that's only in the conclusion, not P1. P1 says that an actual infinite regress of causes cannot ex...

The basic is very simple: Premise 1: an actual infinite regress of causes cannot exist, because in an infinite regress, the causal chain never starts, but rather "recedes" into a supposed infinite past. (Mathematical and deductive) Premise 2: the universe is a product of a chain of causes...

I have a quite different goal and agenda.... I am trying to use philosophy as a ''way of life'' as was the case in ancient Athens or the use of religions as Paul or even Jesus used it.... which is religion used not to get to heaven, but as a way of life.... not as a theory but as a means of living....

Don't be too arrogant with your 'logic' which is more likely to fill with holes (sic?). My view is 'whatever is ruled by rules' or laws in this case, that is not morality-proper but rather it only has some association with the inherent morality-proper within all humans. Society and cultures has (si...

The title of this thread is utterly stupid, bigoted, insulting to others and intolerant. This thread ought to be locked and deleted. My opinion. Gazza - is the thread title now reasonable: Islam MUST HAVE reformation or be outlawed The holy text is from God is dictated to be immutable; there is no ...

Be nice and meet them 'half way'. Reason with them. See how that goes. Just a question. What does 'half way' between rational and insanity look like? That is just like patting a poisonous snake. I've just listened this video related to Lebanon once known as the Paris of the Middle East. My Chat wit...

ISLAM is an evil ideology moreso than a religion. No other religion has masses of doctrine insisting people covert to its teachings AND laws or be killed by its followers. Perhaps you have never heard of the Crusades, the Inquisition, or the Witch-killing craze in 16th century Europe. I am not an e...

I was referring specifically [only] to your ignorance of the religion of peace or rather piece[s]. You have any comment on this which I wrote above? So it is either you are ignorant & wrong or I am of the above. Show me proofs if you think I am wrong. You got a lot to learn here as well. All hu...
