@tycho - Where do you prepare,while in motion or before?
@Impunity - Yes.It will remove you.Its a case of 'ready or not...'

Then how would you define the concept of preparation.

Relative to the destination,this motion can be said to be at rest.

The only state that is in relative rest is in the future. The motion that is yet to be effected.

Yes, @Wakanyugi. But then I believe such an approach could lead to what is 'what?'

Anyway, I share your concern.


I agree.

So I suggest we would be better of discussing psychology rather than philosophy.

I'll start.

Your nom de plume 'Tycho' based as it is on two literary/scientific events (one real and one fiction) reveals more about you than it hides.

Kweri rongo?

There are many types of languages.Body language,sign language,words...these are different types languages which are used to communicate. Animals have their languages.Trees I doubt.Machines,especially computers have propagated the most ubiquitous language man has ever seen,binary.

To do something you have to be something.Doing is something a 'being' does. Basically to do something you have to be something,which in this case I call being otherwise if you are nothing you can't do anything.Now I don't know if a tree is a 'being'.

The only state that is in relative rest is in the future. The motion that is yet to be effected.

When I was away, it seems the debate moved from philosophy to celestial mechanics.

Motion implies space and time.

Are you trying to tell us that space and time are real?

Prove it!

"There are many types of languages.Body language,sign language,words...these are different types languages which are used to communicate. Animals have their languages.Trees I doubt.Machines,especially computers have propagated the most ubiquitous language man has ever seen,binary."

So man made machines have language but trees, the complex entities they are, do not? How human!


"Now I don't know if a tree is a 'being'."

So who decides if an entity is a being or not? The one being or the one perceiving?

Which of these points of view is 'truth?'

"This one I have to intrude.Psychology is the philosophy of mind and self. If you are talking about user names,I like that too.I have also been thinking on what user names say about the users."

Just a minute Chess master.

How can you speak of mind and self before you define them?

What animals are these that you are introducing to the debate?

Exactly.And thats what psychology is trying to decipher.Who is the self and what exactly is the mind. Like I quoted earlier,you can doubt everything in this world but you can't doubt your 'self'.You are you.You are alive or experiencing life.
