The purpose of all knowledge is actionable certainty. How does your definition account for the fact that given the same knowledge/information on a particular subject-matter two different people arrive at two different conclusions. One person is certain - so they act. Another person isn't certain so...

Knowledge is justified salience. To define knowledge is knowledge as knowledge is definition. One cannot know except through limits, limits allow for definition. Definition, as limits, is both "what is", through the limit containing the phenomenon, and "what is not", through the...

I have responded to 1 & 3 in the other threads. 2. You are trying to rhetorical and deceptive. In the case of "same time" re the LNC mean the same instance to the dot not within a duration of time or length of time, which can be nano-seconds, second, minutes or hours, etc. In a durati...

.... 4. +P, a square peg, and -P, a square hole, both necessitate P as the common variable existing across the opposites (ie the "square" in this case). Two opposites equivocate through a middle term. As I had asserted, in trying to be a smart-alec in this case exposed you as a smart-fool...

All these people preoccupying themselves with knowing what they are talking about - none of them can tell you why they are talking about it. If all is rooted in contradiction then a respect for all being is necessitated given being occurs through opposition; Both sides of a coin are necessary for t...

1. From what I have read and understood I stand in agreement with you. With the introduction of "Y" as a third medial element both X and -X coexist. A simple example of this is Man, as P, and Woman, as -P, both existing simultaneously under the third element of "Human". 2. In ag...

This aspect of unchanging implies various phenomenon as having common sources which remain the same no matter how they are expressed. What exactly is this supposed to mean? There are various phenomenon, which other phenomenon stem from, which are unchanging. This unchanging phenomenon is a common s...

If God is the creator and man is made in the image of God then man is a creator Yet, if a creator were to create something in its image, how extensive would that reproduction be? Would it be a complete replication of attributes and capability? Would it be mostly symbolic, as an image? Elements thro...

This is nonsense. If this is nonsense then what is 'sensical'? Plenty. If nothing is sensical then your question is meaningless. You are proposing a syllogism. If god is the creator If man is made in god image THEN Man is the creator. This is a false syllogism. You can examine a logical syllogism b...

You referenced but did not read fully, i.e. "Unfortunately, so little remains of Heraclitus' aphorisms that not much about his philosophy can be said with certainty." Due to the above limitations your reference cannot be credible. What is most critical within the LNC is the criteria 'same...

Your thinking is too shallow and narrow. As I had argued that P is not-P within logic is never absolute but always must be qualified to the relevant context. Equality is an ideal [thought and expectation] that you are demanding and imposing on reality. In reality, P is never equal to not-P. Btw, th...

Since all things intellectual are contradictory by their very nature [all things contain all things, or all is One], this label is taken care of under the existence banner. The only thing you can say about anything is that it exists [for intellectual purposes]. Beyond that, there's no point to furt...

NOTE that the term, " contradiction " literally derives from, " con- " (with), " -tra- " (third), " diction " (spoken of) The 'third' here is the " true & false " of " true " OR " false ", as exclusively assumed binary option...

...... So my 'smart-alec' argument here now adds HOW you can rationally use contradiction as a function to update the logical system, a type of 'dimensioning'. If you don't require this for some argument, you don't need to address further concern and so can dismiss the premises leading to the contr...

You are trying to eel your way around. 1. Note a crocodile egg has to be a potential to be either male or female but that does not mean male and female are the same within a specific context that make them distinct. 2. If you think men and women are the same reducible to humanity, then everything i...
