Well, if they are open and curious enough, then they would ask questions.

Re: Infinity as Change
Very true, but LOL obviously one would NOT KNOW, until they continually ask.
Also, if one was Truly OPEN, and Truly curious enough, then ONLY THEN that one could and would KNOW.

To be Truly OPEN is to NOT 'assume', NOR 'believe, ANY thing.

That would make the word open useless because that state of affairs never occurs in reality. That's not how words work. You are wrong and should be ashamed.

Re: Infinity as Change
To be open is to accept what is in front of them, to accept is to assume.

Accepting what is present as existing is openness.

Acceptance is of two kinds, usually confused, which do you mean, acknowledgement or capitulation?

Re: Infinity as Change
But you said, " 'to accept' is 'to assume' ". Which means you could accept/assume ABSOLUTELY ANY thing as being "what is present as existing", like, for example, accepting/assuming that the earth, presently as existing, is flat or at the absolute center of the Universe, and that this means that you are "open", correct?
To me, accepting what is present as existing would NOT entail ANY 'assuming' AT ALL. In fact, to me, the VERY OPPOSITE could be construed. That is; ASSUMING something is true or right, in and of itself, is NOT accepting what is present as existing.

Accepting the earth as flat is to accept it as a theory. The earth is flat is a theory, to accept it is to accept it as a theory.Age wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 3:35 amBut you said, " 'to accept' is 'to assume' ".

Dually truth is existence, to accept existence is to accept a degree of truth as to what is accepted.

You can 'try to' keep twisting and distorting things further and further. But you said what you said, and if you can NOT back up and support what you want to say, or said, then I suggest not saying 'it'.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 13, 2021 12:10 amAccepting the earth as flat is to accept it as a theory.

You go around and around and/or adding more and more, while never actually saying anything Truly meaningful, to me.
I suggest just saying one thing, and STICKING TO 'that'.

Re: Infinity as Change
"It is the continual repetition of a phenomenon which makes it infinite."
A phenomenon cannot be infinite as it is subject to change. The underlying substance, if not subject to change, is infinite. The number one as an idea changes in the sense of describing different phenomenon, therefore it is not infinite. Only a substance that is not subject to change can be considered infinite.
