Why not? There's really no other way to even begin to conceive of free will without the 'gap' in existence I'm talking about. Free will needs a free 'space' where the subject can invent and create ex...

Re: MoFo's Religion

Note:

So yeah. I'm trying to be as clear as possible here when I say that every object is decomposable, so, for now, I'm talking about individual objects as if they are isolated.

But really,...

At this point, I really feel like we're getting somewhere at this point.

That's totes the right attitude. I think the real 'argument' starts from a different place -- looking at what mathematics...

Re: MoFo's Religion

You can interpret quantum mechanics to be deterministic if you really want to like Bohm did. The fact that you interpret something as being non-deterministic doesn't really say anything about being....

Re: MoFo's Religion

Science can't explain everything (Multiple), but it can explain every object (One). It's even created a few objects in its time. Furthermore, science is always undergoing the process of revising its...

If an object is just a multiple with a proper name, then it cannot pronounce its own name without realizing that it is just a multiple.

When the object does pronounce its own name, the object is...

DUDE, now I know we're singing the same song, because I haven't at all justified WHY THE NAME IS A THING.

Yeah exactly. It doesn't matter what the supplement is. It's different for pretty much every object. It has to be, why else would they be distinct objects?

The reason why I say "price" is...

Re: MoFo's Religion

there are six legos

you first call them each by different names

then you call them all by one name

this is how objects are made

the name is supplement to existence

So check this out, it'll probably help. Let's call the entire space of the picture "being." Thus existence is just a formatting of this Multiple into Ones (objects). Everything in a circle is One,...

What you understand or possibly could understand about the physical world is the realm of the One. The physical world is a world composed of objects. One-ness is equivalent to object-hood.

You're talking about the One. The thing you keep calling the 'physical world' is just realm of the One. I keep saying that the One is not, that only the Multiple is, and that the movement of science...

As I've repeated tried to explain, materialism states that all objects are illusions with respect to being. What needs to be accounted for is the One-effect. To say it is an illusion does nothing at...

There is no argument 'against' determinism if you accept deterministic grounds: cause and effect are exhaustive of the possibilities of being. Soft determinists already accept deterministic grounds,...

Re: MoFo's Religion

Yoda, even if you get Will.15 to renounce free will as an 'illusion,' what then generates that illusion as it exists? You will surely substitute God, but why is this necessary? Why not another, as of...

Re: MoFo's Religion

That makes no sense, because we come up with the idea of free will from introspection and that's precisely what mechanical brain science accounts can't get at.

It all comes down to this: in order to fully eradicate God, you must first eradicate objects.

By doing so you destroy all notions of enclosure -- there is no 'outside' from where God can stand....
