So you'd say that either there's no creation of heaven and earth until humans, as a species, develop consciousness, or that there somehow keeps being no heaven and earth for each individual until they're about five years old? — Terrapin Station
There is nothing wrong with having logically impossible attributes. After all, consciousness itself operates that way. — 3017amen
Not true. I use the infamous example of driving a car while daydreaming, crashing and killing yourself. Was it true you were driving yet not driving? (Was it your consciousness driving or your subconsciousness driving at the same time daydreaming that caused your death?) In either case, that's logically impossible to do (explain). — 3017amen
So the question to you is, how is it logically impossible? — tim wood
The proposition that I was driving and not driving at the same time is true because it has more than two truth values; you were kind-of driving. As a proposition, it's logically impossible to explain (its nature) as it would only violate LEM. — 3017amen

Thus you died because you stopped driving the car, and started daydreaming. — Philosophim
Non sequitor, evasion, deflection. Just think a bit and write down a coherent example that will serve to answer the question. — tim wood
But I 'was' driving the car, otherwise, wouldn't have crashed and killed myself. So in a proposition, I was both driving and not driving holds true. Hence violation of LEM. — 3017amen
The proposition that I was driving and not driving at the same time is true because it has more than two truth values; you were kind-of driving. — 3017amen
What is your particular definition of driving? — Philosophim
Driving is the controlled operation and movement of a motor vehicle, including cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. In that case, it was controlled, yet not controlled. — 3017amen
