Re: Logic is Grounded in Self Referential Tautologies

You are talking about it. You recognise it as a thing e.g it exists in your ontology. If it's not a phenomenon, what kind of thing is consciousness? Well that depends upon what kind of existence we are talking about? IS there a 'consciousness' roaming about on it's lonesome out there? I doubt it bu...

Re: Logic is Grounded in Self Referential Tautologies

Consciousness is a phenomenon too. ... Is it? Not sure about that as is it observable? To speak about consciousness from the view-point of the observer, then you also have to concede that observers/observation are phenomena too. ... See above. What I do by speaking about it is to try and find inter...

Re: Logic is Grounded in Self Referential Tautologies

My point is that it ends in a regress, as I can ask "what is a phenomenon"? ... And I can point. Eventually is breaks down to an assumed term as well as "contextuality" as a self referential loop. A context, P= P, is a circular definition. ... Sure, as long as you forget the phe...

Re: State Education Law Suit

I'm going to be a conspiracy theorist here :wink: I'm convinced there is a world-wide conspiracy to dumb down Western civilization. After viewing my child's last school report, which was completely incomprehensible, I am convinced that this is so. The report was designed to confuse and veil a lack ...

Re: The Lion King Story.

But it doesn't matter what you think because I know what i am talking about even if you don't it makes no difference and does not alter the way I see reality. ... Which is why you should be on a new age forum and not a Philosophy one. I see myself as infinitely everything and nothing (consciousness...

Re: Logic is Grounded in Self Referential Tautologies

A thing is a phenomenon. ... Agreed. Experience is a phenomenon. ... I think slightly differently, experience is how you deal with a phenomenon, that it is also a phenomenon is a product of being conscious. A thing (a phenomenon) appears within experience (another phenomenon). ... See above. Whethe...

Re: The Lion King Story.

:roll: And yet you quoted "What matters most is how you see yourself".

I'm surprised that your head doesn't pop with the incongruity of your thoughts and words.

Much worse I think as we are currently only counting hospital deaths and not those in care-homes so the guess is we are missing at least 3,000 off the count and could be up to 10,000.

Why do you think the Covid Stats from the USA is so high, i.e. 4+ times the next worst, i.e. Spain?
But America is doing quite well so far given their comparative population size?

Re: Logic is Grounded in Self Referential Tautologies

And what is a "thing" or "state of affairs" (without using logic to address its own basic foundations)? "What is...", are you saying you don't understand the meanings of "thing" or "state of affairs"? If so would it help you if you just think "...

Pah! A girls drink. Now Tequila, salt and lime definitely cures most things or at least you wont be giving two shits about them.
