Change the axioms or rules of inference, change the truth. We can however agree that the axioms and rules of inference of some formal systems seem to make more sense to us than others. Don't think that means they should necessarily be given privileged status though. Universal fluctuating 'truths' relevant to a metaphysical phenomenon of growth, including us perhaps, to some degree is not an unworthy consideration This may relate, in part, to non duality........... |

This is another topic ![]() That wasn't ignored, it was addressed earlier. I absolutely disagreed and pointed out you had that somewhat backward according to the implications of that study... and you responded with no source to back you... I had 5 sources backing me ![]() ![]() |

However, this thread reminds me strongly of dear old diddo, and I think the question is basically meaningless and unanswerable. I think this thread will go round and round and leave no-one any wiser than they were before. Like WitchSabrina, I am weary of these threads. |

Yeah, we are supposed to follow the rules, but if we have to do with an obvious troll, no one will care if I break them a little. What you pointed out earlier was the exact opposite of what I told you. If you'd like, go back to that thread and give me an appropriate answer to what I specifically told you. What you said earlier is in no way an appropriate answer to what I pointed out. "Behind every great pirate, there is a great butt." -Guybrush Threepwood- |
