RE: There Are No Absolute Truths (Part 2)

in #philosophy7 years ago

You can never freeze time?
Never prove eternity?

I never say never. It would be highly improbable (if you like to put it in mathematical terms).

There is no possible measure for the now other than consciousness itself.

As far as I am concerned there is no such thing as 'consciousness'. No single definition exist and the evidence is close to non-existent.

Sort:  

The 'now' would be both eternal and unmeasurable. Unless the now doesn't exist either and there is only past and future in your experience which would make this conversation awkward to say the least.

'Change' would also be an argument for an absolute truth.

well, by the time you measure the now it becomes the past.

Change' would also be an argument for an absolute truth.

Not really since there is an argument for the universe eventually coming to an end. It is true for the most part though.

If the end if the universe ends all it would make change absolutely true because at the time it stops, so does time and space. If time and space continue past that point, so does change. Absolutely true from start to finish. An argument for or against eternity can never be proven by a human for eternity is beyond the capabilities of limited understanding for it is the unlimited itself. Truths endure the limitations of small musings regardless of whether you or I consider it a null point, objectively true or perspectively true or completely false.

A truth does not care what either of us think.

Well, if time doesn't exist, how can it hold any quality or function?

An argument for or against eternity can never be proven by a human for eternity is beyond the capabilities of limited understanding for it is the unlimited itself.

exactly my point

A truth does not care what either of us think.

well, that's how we come to evaluate it...

pointless circles man. my point is that we can't know

So, absolutely your point? ;)

i guess bad phrasing.

The title should have been "There are no absolutes" like someone already pointed out.

I think I could make the argument there are only absolutes. That since there is no past or future just the now. Everything and anything that exists has no other option than to be exactly as it is now. The illusion is believing it can be different.
