Beppe, my friend, I don't know if Kenny is dogmatic, but it seems to me that you are deliberately trying to confuse rational issues to leave some room for irrational beliefs. And that's sneaky |
The dogmatism of Kenny is referred to in previous posts and it might be
easily understood just by
reading them.
My dearest and adored High priestess!
I am not trying to deliberately confuse anything. If this is your impression, I will make amend in two ways.
Way 1, In my next posts on this thread I will try to be as constructive as possible and to follow the spirit by which you started this thread.
Way 2. Envision this metaphor. When the broom hits the dirt, a big cloud of dust arises. The dirt is gold dust, and in my metaphor gravity does not matter.
I will leave in few days for 2 weeks, no internet alas. When I will come back I will make a post,
in this thread or in another one, or in the Italian Group, with the purpose of illustrating a fundamental mathematical construct that every body with a little of attention will be able to make her/his own, and that is essential to understand what's going on. I know. I'll make a pdf in attachment.
One of the problems of Philosophers, with some exceptions maybe, is that they do not know nothing about mathematics beyond the simple arithmetics. And this cuts them out from a whole wide world. So, when somebody talks of comparing this to that, (in the contest of scientific theories and reality) he does not have the faintest idea of what there is behind an
objective comparison between this and that.
My announced post will be toward giving a sound mathematical base to this and other related aspects. Do I have authority to do this? Oh yes! But it will not interfere anymore with this beautiful thread, for which I am very and adoring grateful.
