Disappointed at your level of knowledge on logic. You don't even understand what proof and assumption via contradiction in logical reasonings mean. That is so basic stuff in logic.

I've several years of graduate logic to call on.

You are a fool.

You kept attacking the OP because it started with an assumption by contradiction.
Moreover, you don't even know in what form OPs usually start either.
Who is the real fool here?

It tells me that you are very lenient on your emotional writings to others, but very sensitive and paranoid on other folks response to your postings. — Corvus

:roll: Well you're wrong. What I write on here are not "emotional writings", not emotional apart from impatience and annoyance when people distort what I have written or do not respond to reasoned critiques reasonably but deflect and wriggle just as you do.

This: “without minds, there are no possible worlds" is what Corvus is maintaining. He thinks it a counter you your “It is possible for there to be a world without minds”. Of course, it isn't.

Corvus is incapable of shouldering critique. Been that way for years. Hence his response here is to attack you and I, to do anything but reconsider. — Banno

That's just how I see it too. I for one will not waste any more time. on his childish shenanigans.

Your stupidity is doing my head in. I'll have to leave you to it. You and your ilk are a large part of why philosophy is not taken seriously in certain circles. It's not enough just to make shit up, as you do. — Banno

Sadly, what you say here is true.

Well, if you care to read Banno's postings, he just proved himself as the official fool. I was right.

Sadly, what you say here is true. — Janus

And as predicted you are just his spokesman, as he was yours.

Many of the threads in the All Discussions page at the moment are the same sort of shite. "The Mind is the uncaused cause", "The logic of a universal origin and meaning", "Physical cannot be the cause of its own change"... "Re-Tuning the Cosmic DNA", for fuck's sake.

Physics without the maths and philosophy without critique. Stuff to warm the cockles of any curmudgeon's heart. It's worse than the rash of God that afflicted the forums last month.

I blame @fdrake leaving the mods.

But you don't even know what assumption by contradiction in the introduction to Logic textbook means. Plus you don't even know how OPs usually starts. What you have been saying don't seem to quite add up or be reflecting the truth.

I can't but agree. It would be better if OPs had to meet certain standards.

In my view you lack humility and have a deluded sense of your own abilities.

Well that's your twisted and deluded view. No one will take your postings seriously apart from Banno, and anyone would have guessed why by now.

:roll: Now you presume to speak for everyone else—just how low can you sink?

Read your postings. It's a fact. You are still in delusion. It is not me who is sinking.

This sort of response goes back years. See https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/881390 for a more recent example of the same sort of thing. Any one who disagrees with Corvus is a part of a conspiracy...

It's a now familiar play...

Yes, what Corvus is doing is symptomatic of the malaise in western civilisation. It's about to hit the wall.

Read your own postings too. You are not just unfair, but also dangerous and harmful in making up and spreading emotionally fueled disinformation to the genuine philosophic students who are pursuing their studies.

:up: Yes, it's "us and them" and "doubling down" seemingly all the way down and more and more. It's very disturbing to see its playing out intensifying on the world stage. I guess this forum is a microcosm, although thankfully it's not all bad here.

You two are just here to derail the OP keep posting off-topic rubbish as usual. Not good.

...genuine philosophic students... — Corvus

...will accept and learn from criticism.

Many other people here noticed and suffered from your antics, and the OP derailing attempts and complained about them many times too.

Cool. If you have a problem with my posts, tell the mods.

I was just giving you advice not to go that path, that you often wandered into. But you two have taken the advice in emotional way.

OK, will do. cheers.

I blame fdrake leaving the mods. — Banno

My passing heralds the end of days.

Indeed; as a great writer once put it,

Therein lies the rub, if one sacrifices one’s moral imagination against systemic injustice on the altar of practicality, one exculpates all evils. — fdrake

But I bet you are glad you are no longer obligated to deal with this particular bit of melodrama...

:lol:

Now the Mods will be after you for going off topic...


You gave up your immunity with your other powers.

I'll shut it now. Enough corrupting the youth for one day.

Oh I thought this was the shoutbox, my bad. — fdrake

Apologies for all the off-topic postings here. Never an intention of mine, but the two folks with emotional problems. As soon as they appeared, I kinda suspected where it might head. :D

Will try again just to stay on the topic and philosophical pursuits :)

Why not say the same about the past? Something proper to the past is that it was once present. In that sense there is a need for the past in order to understand and explain the possibility of the present. That the present passes but does not disappear completely (becomes past) is necessary for the existence of the present as something caused. — JuanZu

Problem with past is that it is in our memory and archives. Events in the past are no longer accessible at present, unless they are the objects with continuing existence such as cups, chairs, documents and films.

In Temporal logic, time can be modeled in two different types, namely Model of instances, and Model of Intervals. The fact that time can be modeled implies that it can capture past present future and instances too. You are correct in saying that the passing present doesn't disappear completely but it becomes part of the past. Hence time can be viewed as instances or intervals depending on what events or situations we are talking about. It is flexible.

Why don't you get involved in my threads and try to find flaws in my arguments? I would be happy to know your opinion and criticism. Insulting is not constructive!

Apologies for all the off-topic postings here. — Corvus

I don't care I'm not a mod any more. I thought @Banno tagged me for chitchat reasons.

I see. Totally forgot about your recent resignation.
