>No idea what you're talking about gaylord
You're defining it relying on the lack of information we know about it which is why you keep saying it's a "hurr it's a wave" without realizing a "wave" is what SOMETHING ELSE DOES. Water "waves", its water in action. So "waves of what"? You keep saying "wave" like that somehow explains anything when it just makes everyone convinced you don't understand the difference between verbs and nouns. Bad enough you're just reusing a descriptive word that doesn't explain anything whatsoever as a failed explanation in the first place.

You probably believe it travels and "has a constant" speed too, right moron? Even though none of that has been empirically verified?

Ask them if "evil" exists. If they say no or something along the lines of "define evil", "what do you mean by "evil"?" or try to excuse evil as simply ignorance/stupidity then you're dealing with a grade A NPC.

Necessity. Torpid matter isn't gonna move itself now is it? It is? How? It needs both the space to move and a cause to do it.
>and no any explanation that doesn't involve souls
What else would it involve? Another word for describing an "animated mass"? What the fuck do you think "soul" actually means in this context? Some misconstrued religious dogma?

>they can't explain the existence of soul
The lack of the explanation is part of the explanation it itself. "It" is nowhere specific and you're never going to point to it. Again, this is why the brain dead materialist cannot accept this explanation. Everything MUST be countable, MUST be quantified to them because quantity is your god. Would you too count and measure shadows and call them real?

You're calling a measure something when you just said
>The method of measurement doesn't change what's being measured.
You're contradicting yourself with the lack of explaining why you believe acceleration and an action of something else is physically something else entirely. It's like saying I become a completely different thing when I go jogging as opposed to sitting down. It's a rate of change...OF SOMETHING ELSE (that being the "object"/physical thing you're referring to).

>You can certainly feel acceleration since your body is a kind of accelerometer, but it has nothing to do with emotions.
>is a kind of accelerometer
You really don't comprehend being a "human being" do you? Because that's what your body actually is, numbskull. The "feeling" is the rest of yourself catching up..to yourself. You call the displacement of something something else entirely and physical no less. It makes no sense.

>You sound mentally ill
You think acceleration is a physical thing. You're the only one here who sounds like a lunatic.

>To accurately describe it....YES, YOU DO.
I don't give a shit about accurate descriptions you dumb faggot. Explain it. You won't because you have too much info in your head to piece it together and have it come out coherent. Too many accurate descriptions to parse through, none of them explaining shit and the majority of them being different descriptions for the same fucking thing.

>Literal 1984 shit...if you cannot describe it you cannot percieve it.
More like
>When you can't understand the difference between a description and and explanation so you conflate the two.
This is accomplished using...language! Yes, more and more words and descriptions for the same fucking thing will somehow unify the thing you're talking about and explain how the fuck it works. Somehow.

>objective data
"Math" is still the reason why I interpret all those graphs as really indicating that CO2 rises with temperature and not the other way around. They can't comprehend that quantification doesn't elaborate the cause because they're materialists. They then take this cherry picked data and apply more math/algorithms/equations on top of it, as if that's ever going to explain the cause.

>>14883584
>Regardless of the real problem
They would just love you to disregard the cause of the real problem which is why they keep getting away with their phony pipedream bullshit. You (the moron populous) react more to fear and fear porn because you don't have a private jet and millions in capital to just whoosh yourself away when shit gets real. It gets you polarized and perturbed more than repeating statistics like a broken record. Math isn't going to get you angry, but telling you your planet is doomed will get you angry enough to do anything.

>What the fuck do you expect regular people do about that?

Platos cave is an analogy of what happens when the unenlightened can't comprehend the difference between description and explanation and how the world does not work dependent on how we describe it. The shadows they describe, or are described to the prisoners as "horse, ring/ whatever the shape LOOKS LIKE" isn't the actual explanation as to what the really are. It's to illustrate how easy it is to confuse the human mind despite the fact we have a plethora of senses and the means to at the very least look for "the truth" and that we shouldn't rely on senses alone.

>>14697806
>>14698521
Language does NOT shape though, it confuses and complexes thought. They always refereed to "the one" as simplistic as possible, desperately not trying to elaborate or go into great details. The devils in the details and more and more of them confuse and delude the big picture. To do, "to be" to actually practice philosophy instead of preaching it is what actual philosophy is. A way of living and dying.

You cannot think your way out of a box you thought yourself into.

"Aryan-Buddhism blogspot is devoted to original Buddhism, Traditionalist metaphysics, and the gnosis advocated thereof, as such it is an anti-Guru, anti-Zen-Master, anti-Lama, anti-Rimpoche, and anti-bhikkhu site adverse to any and all forms of superficial spiritual-materialism, petty ritualisms, and the New-Age movement in general. Aryan-Buddhism blogspot is equally adversarial to those who find counterfeit peace and grace in spiritual trinkets, empirical pietism such as extreme bodily austerities such as chanting, bowing, self-mortification, or those who find love towards cultish Guru-personalities, other such pseudo-religious rubbish and meaningless corporeal endeavors which are irrelevant to the gnosis which culminates in the noetic liberation of spirit."

"Aryan-Buddhism blogspot content is hostile to illogical systems such as: secular humanism, creationism, atheism, agnosticism, and the mass of pseudo-religionists such as those who claim to be ‘Buddhists’, and spiritual…yet deny the very spirit (atman, citta, nous) which is the only refuge and light proclaimed in and of Buddhism and metaphysics at large. All of the above applies to yourself, and therefore Aryan-Buddhism blogspot will not appeal to you whatsoever; ...as said, "In praising wisdom, one simultaneously insults fools, those who cleave to things unwise." You are refuted forthwith."

Well then stop being a casual and post it instead of all the useless irrelevant info. Explain how that is important information in order for your belief system to be taken seriously. It is rather too late at this point though, a fool is easier to fool than convince he was fooled.

It is the only reason the fridge changes temperature.
