  • Is there objectivity?

    September 10th, 2023

    I am not entirely sure how a philosopher can claim to be objective yet readily changes their view in light of new information. If the view was truly objectively reached then that view should not have been wrong or had needed to be revised.

    It is far safer to hold that views are always subjective but may approach objectivity but never reaching it. This is a more honest understanding of knowledge.

  • No decontextualized objects

    September 9th, 2023

    There are no decontextualized objects. All objects are in the context of reality.

  • Facts and reality

    July 15th, 2023

    There is a difference between lies and people who lie. Lies are false statements of facts about reality. But the fact that people lie (the act of lying by objects called people) is a truth about reality.

    Facts can be true or false. Reality is always true, always just reality.

  • Conceptualization and reality

    June 29th, 2023

    Reality is three or four dimensional. When you are dealing with fewer dimensions you are making an abstraction. It is a selected representation of the reality. It is a conceptualization of what the speaker wants to highlight of the reality.

  • Articulation is a process

    June 6th, 2023

    Articulation or verbalisation is a process or an action of a thing. Articulation is separate from that which is being articulated. There is no direct correspondence between the articulation and the articulated even if the articulation is true.

  • Colour is not inherent

    May 27th, 2023

    Here is an example of how the medium changes the colour of an object.

    As the object goes deeper into the water where the pressure of the water changes the colours change. The most dramatic change is with red and brown and black. Certain wavelengths are scattered differently so the colour of the objects change.

    But this is the point. Is the colour changing? Is the colour in the object? Or is the light which reaches our eyes changing?

    This is a good example of quality not being in the object. We must question what is consider inherent.

  • How little?

    May 27th, 2023

    How little knowledge is sufficient for philosophy?

  • Contextuality

    May 25th, 2023

    Everything is contextual.

    Even that which is out of context is in relation to or within the contextual reality.

  • The articulation of things are their properties

    May 24th, 2023

    There are things and property of things. The property of things are process, quality and relations. Things are articulated in nouns. Processes are articulated in verbs. Qualities are articulated in adjectives and adverbs. Relations are articulated in pronouns, determiners, propositions, and conjunctions.

    It is possible to articulate about imaginary things with imaginary properties. This does not bring them into existence. All that exists is the thing that articulates this.

  • Proof by incoherence

    May 19th, 2023

    Matter is incoherent without space or time. Space is incoherent without matter or time. Time is incoherent without matter or space. Reality is matterspacetime.
