...an individual or group can adopt an attitude towards a given proposition, such that they hold the proposition to be true. We call this belief.
It's from here that the discussion should proceed. — Banno
It seems to me, and I have said it before, that Creative reifies thought and belief. I think that is an error; thought and belief are not things... — Banno
That's what the thread reduces to, even if it does not say that in the OP. — Banno
Experience exists prior to subsequent experience but is existentially dependent on subsequent experience. — Blue Lux
↪creativesoul I did, several times, and decided not to respond.
this thread is nothing more than a discussion about how we use words like "proposition"
— Banno
That's what the thread reduces to, even if it does not say that in the OP. — Banno
...your contention that something prior to something else cannot be existentially dependent on it is false in terms of experience... — Blue Lux
So experience 1 is prior to 2 but instead of a theoretical demarcation it is rather a concatenation, a continuum, and experience 1 is existentially dependent on experience 2, although 2 is subsequent. — Blue Lux
All experience is existentially dependent on further experience, for if there were no more experience, then experience would no longer exist. So experience 1 is prior to 2 but instead of a theoretical demarcation it is rather a concatenation, a continuum, and experience 1 is existentially dependent on experience 2, although 2 is subsequent. Im not talking about a specific experience incommensurate with the specificities of another experience. I am speaking of experience as such. — Blue Lux
Just reiterating your completely unsubstantiated assertion does not prove it. — Blue Lux
All my experience prior to this conversation cannot be existentially dependent upon this conversation. It didn't exist — creativesoul
That which exists prior to something else cannot be existentially dependent upon it... — creativesoul
So you are indeed operating within your own closed system. — Blue Lux
...the law that everything that CAN happen WILL happen... — Blue Lux
All experience is existentially dependent on further experience, which may or may not be real yet — Blue Lux
I have provided a contradictory example... — Blue Lux
