03/09/2025 - 3:39 AMThanks for the helpful video! I'm just wondering where does philosophy of mind belong to?

03/09/2025 - 3:39 AMWHAT IS HISTORICAL ONTOLOGY?
@dennismckee6598
03/09/2025 - 3:39 AMOf all the areas of study that helped me the most get out of a cult I grew up in was self study of ontology. It explained the most, and how this weaponized ontology was used.

03/09/2025 - 3:39 AMa) What is being? Differentiation in a mind from the sensory experience of an embodied perspective according to a specific intent to change things.
b) Why do things exist rather than not exist at all?
Why questions are either 'how?' – for science, or "from what intent/to what end", which requires a mind. There's no reason things exist except to beings for reasons. Otherwise it's undifferentiated stuff. There's no such thing as nothing except relevant to a specific use case; it always means the lack of something specific in a given use-case.
c) What is the meaning and nature of reality?
There is no meaning of reality in itself. All "what is the nature of?" questions are semantic – how do we want to/use the term?
d) What is the underlying principle of all that exists?
"Underlying principle" is meaningless in that context. Change is the universal substrate of material reality and all physical processes can be understood in relation to it. Things are a set of attributes and birthda boundary conditions in a mind.
e) Is there nothing?
No. There's no such thing as nothing in Actuality. The universe beyond us is undifferentiated stuff doing stuff, infinite in all directions, at all scales, forever.

03/09/2025 - 3:39 AMPhilosophy is of three kinds: Academic (history, jargon, people), Truth (epistemology, metaphysics), and Practical Wisdom (what most people call philosophy). Understanding it this way does better work.
Also, science is rigor. Logic is a sub-set of science that always replicates. Math is a sub-set of logic that deals exclusively with relationships of quantity.

03/09/2025 - 3:39 AMThis is a very closed box of thinking.
Imagine being in a closed environment like a video game. Like Grand Theft Auto V. You reach the edge and borders of the maps… Issues. IMO very clostrophobic.
Testing your environments are reasons people defy reasoning.
Making the most brilliant people the most radical and fearless.
So you reach the borders of your games. Someone expands the map and ads more environments. Adding and building to the possibility of more radical solutions. Some find easter eggs, bread crumbs and hidden majic chests.
By going off the beaten path.
This is that red pill blue pill scenario.
So you read everything there is to add to your clarity of what is. Others don't need to read anything. Using what you know might prove what you're reading is a waste of time.
Without sounding overzealously arrogant… Some things just present themselves.
Testing ones dimensional environment offers its own clarity.
🌎🌍🌏 Biggest lab in history. Think about that for a moment.
Same reasoning you have for being able to know you can clear a miles and half in under 11 minutes. Or how long you can hold your breath.
As opposed to an Avatar in a video game. You're Avatar dies of course your don't feel it.
But if you jump off a building, do you still get that head rush and adrenaline burst, just from watching your avatar.
Your brain still registers. Only using 1 of 6 Senses.
6 senses. Go beyond that. You use 5 all the time.
Try using a blindfold for a day. Or not talking for a year.
People will think you're with drawn lol when infact you're just listening.
It's an adjustment. For a whole year people thought I was mute. But I learned some sign language.
Talk about breaking the 4th wall. I made friends that were deaf. Hearing got more keen. Awareness opened up.
Now I notice things that others don't.
Most people do that anyway in College.
One could say things are a lot more complicated than that. Hardly.
Use what you know.
I always hated when someone would say there are no absolutes. Or nothing is certain.
Depending on your equation of life, there are. As cheesey as that sounds. Yep I'm hopeful and 🧀 y.
How else do some defy logic. Or hear the one reading when they say "You got a point there".
"What's clever"?!
Don't close your laptop. What'd you learn?

@GbrElfunk
03/09/2025 - 3:39 AMAwesome, you don't know how I've struggled to find a video with such an academic rigour as this.
@tomrobingray
03/09/2025 - 3:39 AMYou have defined "Ontology" as two opposed concepts: 1/ A Frame of Reference, and 2/ The Essence of Things. Does this not make "Ontology" a totally meaningless term.
@priyadharshini-rp3ik
