Morality is Objective
Logic itself is the viciously recursive presupposition of morality. On the monist/reductionist world-view: everything that has ever happened from the beginning of time to this day is truth and truth alone. Nature is Nature. Everything that exists is fact. Only truth is possible in this universe. The...

Re: Pissing off the atheists/naturalists
It's your thread, and nobody agrees with what you've presented... right? Sooo... who else is it about? You are steering the dialogue so skilfully and intentionally towards me. So… away from yourself then? :lol: Read what you just wrote and see how it applies to you. Have you ever considered that th...

It sounds like this is all about me. It's your thread, and nobody agrees with what you've presented... right? Sooo... who else is it about? You are steering the dialogue so skilfully and intentionally towards me. So… away from yourself then? Have you ever considered that this huge ego of mine you k...

Re: Pissing off the atheists/naturalists
I guess your problem is that you don't know how to work with the concepts in a realistic and sensible way -- and that's why so many responses in this thread are disagreeing with you. I guess you missed the fucking point. You are the one repeatedly missing the points: Your thread makes no sense to a...

Re: Mlodinow: We Invent the Laws of Nature
When we "identify two different things" and "say they are one thing", we are not necessarily lying, we're merely saying they share a sameness of some sort. Yes, your intuition is spot on. There is a connection between them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy_type_theory#Equa...

Re: Mlodinow: We Invent the Laws of Nature
We could identify two completely different things and say they are one thing. I am not sure this makes them one thing. Suppose we have two different things A and B. We can come up with a symbol X and assign it the concept captured by the sentence "Either A or B". That would make both A an...

I figured I could raise the table-stakes on the loaded questions by bringing your daughter into the equation.

Re: Pissing off the atheists/naturalists
It’s more of a turn down.
The current understanding of nature is Ex Nihilo.
Unless you have something true to say about nothing, maybe you want to check on that definition again…

No it doesn't.Magnus Anderson wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2023 7:59 pm identity prohibits the possibility of two different portions of space that occupy one and the same point in time to have one and the same identity.
The possibility of spatially separated parts forming a coherent whole is quantum entanglement.

Re: Pissing off the atheists/naturalists
I already responded how I saw fit. You tried to cram that into your categories. You seem to have chosen to play the victim card, and you even found me to blame for victimising you. Victim? Wow... you are so far out in left field. Your efforts to cram everyone's responses into the unaccepted categor...

Re: Mlodinow: We Invent the Laws of Nature
Identity seems not to indicate anything in the entity, but rather in the observers. If they agree it's the same (use the same label), then it's the same. Not quite... entities have identity. Observers have means of identification. Mathematics has a branch called homotopy type theory which deals wit...

Re: Mlodinow: We Invent the Laws of Nature
That's very rude and dismisive... So very anti-social.
Don't you feel like you've exhausted this strategy?
