Most concepts described with words are fundamentally fuzzy. (Take chairs. When a chair is manufactured, at point is it in fact a chair? When it finally falls apart, when does it stop being a chair? If I sit on a rock, does that make it a chair? Etc.)
But some things seem to me to be part of ultimate truth, in the sense that they are not fuzzy. — Daz
2) Consciousness, meaning all experiences that are experienced. — Daz

Still fuzzy. Intuitively there's an existential difference between me a Julius Caesar: I exist now, Julius does not. Similar with the future.But some things seem to me to be part of ultimate truth, in the sense that they are not fuzzy. The categories that come to mind are, in no particular order:
1) Physical reality. Meaning, everything that exists or occurs in the physical world. Whether in the past, present, or future. Anywhere in our universe, or even in disjoint universes, in case there are any.
Stiil fuzzy. I experience redness (the quale). Does redness exist?2) Consciousness, meaning all experiences that are experienced.
Are all mathematical axioms true?3) Mathematical truth.
In my opinion, consciousness does not emerge; it is present at all previous times. I believe that because I cannot imagine its emergence from a state where it previously did not exist. — Daz

Maybe I've misread, but you appear to have "ultimate truth"="truth." What meaning if any attaches to the word ultimate in this context? — tim wood
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
