By that reasoning you are saying that a circle is a square at the same time because they're both shapes. In other words, since they're both similar to each other, they must be the same thing. — Echogem222
By that reasoning, you're saying you understand everything already, preventing what you once didn't understand being equal to nothing, becoming something you now do understand. With that, there would be no gaps in your reasoning, but to make such a claim requires a lot of evidence to back it up. — Echogem222
How can something that seems to be nothing have properties? — Echogem222
From a 2022 thread Does nothingness exist? ...Imagine trying to define a hole. — Echogem222
There is no need to resort to quantum mechanics to understand basic English. Anyone who thinks that holes don't exist should be dropped down a mineshaft until they realize and admit their mistake. — unenlightened
Now since I've defined what I'm talking about this much do you finally get it? — Echogem222
when empty space itself is considered a positive value? — Echogem222
How can something that appears to be nothing have properties? — Echogem222
No, the more you define things the less understandable you become. — unenlightened
:up: :up:A paradox is a situation that results in something impossible or contradictory. This ain't one. — Lionino
How can we define a hole as a type of nothing when empty space itself is considered a positive value? — Echogem222
Read the whole thing, but it did not counter my post any. Unless of course you didn't read my whole post and just assumed I said things I didn't, misunderstanding the context, and using the strawperson argument. — Echogem222
when you keep things vague and generalize what a hole is, it's a paradox, but when you get specific and realize there are two types of holes, you realize the paradox resolves itself. — Echogem222
since many people think that nothing means something which can be understood, something that other things cannot logically come from, when in reality, it's just complete non-understanding. — Echogem222
There is nothing greater or less than nothing, because if not, then that would mean that nothing isn't nothing. That is the most we can possibly understand. — Echogem222
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.
