I have a moment. Consider this : Our galaxy contains many things that exist on many different levels and in many different ways. The galaxy contents include stars, planets, black holes, quantum foam, gravity, cars, carrots, human beings with their human thoughts and feelings, &c, &c, &c...

I just got up and have to start my day's trading. I'll get back to this (in its entirety). We may be at cross-purposes here. Do you make a distinction between the modes of existing of Existence, the stand-alone entity, and Existing, the gerundial abstraction?

Thanx. I'm having a busy day but I'll get back to you.

OK - I've studied the thread. If you would take a minute to clarify the following points for me I would greatly appreciate it. Yes/no answers will suffice. 1) Is Existence is a stand-alone entity in the context of which all existing occurs? 2) Can Existence exist in the absence of...

Me too. I've stayed irrational much longer than I stayed solvent.

Some pretty good stuff here, Stu.. I like the vehicle but would like to kick the tires a bit before I buy it. I'll try to get through it all tonight. It's good.

Fair enough. I haven't read more than a paragraph here or there. I'll catch up and get back to you. Looks like you're defending your position well (as you always do) but I'll search until I can dig up something to work with. Just don't terminate the thread before I can get a good shot at...

So what is this "existing in possibility"? Is this a kind of existing or merely a potential to exist?

A sharp increase possibly, but not for this reason. The U.S. gold holdings are a mere pittance compared to the dollar float. There's little connection between the USD and the gold in Fort Knox.

I only got 5 out of the ten. Did I still pass?

So tell us - why "yikes"? Is it because it's trying to cross that top line of that huge triangle? Yikes for the shorts, or what?

Clark Gable and Yosemite Sam.

So what's this - a sample of your abstract art collection? Better than most of the stuff I've seen in the National Gallery. Seriously, do you find meaning in this chaos?

When you guys can tell me whether or not Time can exist in the absence of all other things I'll get back to you with the Final Answer to the Big Question.

Hold on a second there, fella... Leave us distinguish between "existing in possibility" and "possible existence" (potential). The former presupposes existence; the latter presupposes non-existence. Thank GOD I dropped in to straighten this mess out. Amen.

If necessary, Obama would defend Israel, but it's extremely unlikely that this would be necessary given Israel's overwhelming military superiority. That, in addition to the fact that Obama's immediate objective is to improve relations between the U.S. and the Muslim world is probably why Obama...

Obviously the "wise Latina" Sotomayor refers to is herself. A close look at her reasoning indicates that she may not be as wise as she assumes.
