Philosophical Speculations

Thanks for checking it out and replying.. i'll comment: I'd like to invite you to go even deeper :) "Like" is not a good argument in philosophy. "Going deeper" is exactly the temptation I am warning about and - I believe - is mostly the source of human suffering. "there's no...

Heya all

I have prepared a youtube video on my metaphysics. I would love to hear you fine people's opinions about it.

Bernardo says in part 2 of More Than Allegory that there is no such thing as objective space or time Space and time do not have sense data. Neither color, smell, taste, sound or feel.
