A totality can be the sum of an amount of finite things, I don't think that any amount of finite things can make infinity though. In separating the totality in two finite amounts it makes such a totality finite too. The other option would be to separate it in a finite and infinite parts when we are ...

Causality is not binary operated, there is no opposite implied in wisdom of the infinite. That's because causality is an absolute, meaning for all ends and purposes it could just as well equal totality. Simply because everything (A) needs everything else (not A) to exist. Causality here being a log...

An unary relation doesn't need to be binary as it is needed by your axiom.

1. Negation isn't a binary relation it is unary. 2. A function is an order of ordered pairs, a relation doesn't need to be so. A function has to have only one output for every input (1,2) (2,3), a relation doesn't need it ( tomato, vegetable, fruit).

That's what I was trying to express ,an ordered pair is in some sense lesser or stronger than relationship, or yet relationship is more expressive, even when you define something like an ordered pair you would assume a relation between the things and verify if it is the case of it having the relatio...

Take related-to-itself, no-relation and relation=>no-relation to mean the same thing, to say that it is a viscous relation is saying relation=>no-relation. It is not an strict relation as it also is a no-relation. When you define a strict relation you have it as a consequence of more relations.

If we assume that something has a relation and show it to have no-relation we could define the relation: relation=>no-relation. Of course a relation with NO-relation wouldn't possibly be a relation, that's why we assume it to be a relation too. There are two assumptions that things can have this rel...

Let's look at difference and call it a relation: A != B In this case "A" is different than "B", someone might object saying that they are both letters: A != not-a-letter You might say that "not-a-letter" is just a bunch of letters, it is not clear what not-a-letter woul...

I've re-read Diebert and I agree with a lot of what you wrote. The strong may be identified as the creators of new values and they will be attacked by the weak as the destructors of value, as a threat to their biological imperatives. Advertisement, emotions, are forms that are geared to be meaningle...

Sex sells. The question is why the model that was sold post war as the apex of capitalist production in the US didin't stick. The fact is that the middle class in the US only eroded since. By what the model was you could say that there was a feminization of society or even a niggerization . It is mo...

I can see how women could go on a sex strike, but if men went on a strike they would just be substituted by women. Probably there was a "women can't do this" reaction to it too. But the answer is that the model that increases profits wins and becomes the norm. Marketing and lower shelf lif...

Since genius should be compared to ideals instead of things, comparing the ideal of genius to the ideal of woman, I think that in Weininger's definition Woman has no/zero memory and by contrast Man must have a perfect memory, so Woman stand for ignorance (or innocence) and Man would stand for knowle...

So, Gustav, men had this power and handed to women, if this was what happened I want to know how, why? What did they gained with it? Cui bono. Was it just a wave of altruism that lead them to do it? Or maybe, it must be, it was a conspiracy, it must be that, it's not like you don't know...

I think that one of the problems of 'genius' is that the genius is in some way the ideal or idealized human for humanity, in comparing 'concrete' geniuses one wouldn't find what makes them genius only what makes them human, generalizations instead of characteristics. So maybe genius is better compar...

Maybe it's just the set up for a strawman fallacy where you misrepresent the opponent's opinion. There's some space for doubt if it is a fallacy or not when the argument isn't well presented. I say that because I think I saw this happening too, I recall the word unconscious being used binarily. I th...

I don't get it. It is not a matter of interpretation that your posts are filled with interpretation and without consideration to the subject, you present the subject too subjectively for it to be considered.

You can see that religion is not influent anymore just by the fact that we don't live in a theocracy anymore. Pentecostalism too can be seen as the diversification of christianism where other traditions are more influent upon it other than the christian tradition. There's a trend where with higher l...

I am using redutionistic thinking when talking about religion as you are using ludicrous thinking, for example that we lost one metaphysical truth that exists secretly within religion. When I associated religion with bigotry you could only say that it was a form of reductionism, sure religion is not...

If one were to try to find a basis for traditions one would end up only with a structure of superstitions, without the particularities that make them different the beast is revealed by itself. So it is common to find a lot of intolerance in religion, having a holy book, a sacred prophet, is not some...

When alienation is described as the condition religion becomes the 'opium of the masses', religion fixes alienation as a dose of drug fixes addiction. It's not only the case that it is innefective in treating the condition, more than not it is alienationing itself. As your 'metaphysical' solution to...

Repeat after me, "Marxism is not liberalism".

Now, if you just link John Locke to the Frankfurt school I will be satisfied.

I think that a lot of what you are saying is contained in the idea of being after the promissed land. Already there you have this mixture of the material, immaterial, and propertylessness. And if one is going to refer to traditions and property, judaism is not cristianism specially in its more radic...

It isn't difficult to link tradition (and forms of authority derived from it) with bigotry and persecution, and that includes the church in the middle ages and antisemitism.

It was an attempt of humor, me thinks that you are right in pointing the relation of the thought you are putting forth with totalitarianism, from there to antisemitism is one jump, and zionism, and...
