Lessons in Conventional Language

There's no brilliance in what I'm saying. Just common-sense.
Rather than my brilliance beginning to shine, it is your autism that is beginning to shine (:

Let's try to explain it another way.

The word "human" implies no position in space. In other words, a living being is a human being regardless of their position in space. You can be in America or in Europe, you can be on Mars or on Pluto, you can be anywhere in the space . . . and yet, all else being equal, you'd still be a human.

To say that the word "human", by definition, implies no position in space is not to say that humans have no position in space.

That would be you sucking at logic.

Who crates these "definitions" of conventional thinking?

Yet "human" refers to a specific thing, right?
Black/White skin colour is not the same as infinity and finitude.
Unless in my autism I missed some-thing only brilliance can know.

No, no no, do not try to weasel out of teaching me a lesson.
Infinity and Finite is the topic.
Not skin pigmentation and race.

A bottle is both infinite and finite, correct?
One is both and neither.
So it can be anything, and everything.

I fixed this sentence for you.

What position in space does "human" imply?

Is your sense "common"?
I agree. We're making progress.
Your sense is as common as they come.

Where is the concept "human" located?

Where is "one human"? It being sexless, race-less and common sense.

Neither finite nor infinite....where is this Platonic ideal named "human", which refers to humans in the real world.

By definition, the word "human" implies no position in space.

So if you were to move to any other point in space, you'd still be a human.

Similarly, if something went from being finite to being infinite, it would be still be a single thing.

Wow...that blew my mind.

So what is "single thing" a reference to?
It being both and neither, simultaneously.

How is a human identified as being human, and not dog?
What is being compared?

Where is this "by definition"?
What holy book of conventional understanding are you getting your "definitions"?
This definition says nothing about space or time.

Quote :

This definition says nothing about space or time.

Exactly. That's because position in space and time is a non-essential property of humans.

Now we've progressed from claiming "one" is not finite to it being both and neither.
We are also taught that "human, by definition" implies space/time...and not race or sex.

So thing is both divisible and non-divisible - both and neither?
This is brilliant.
Like reading the Bible.
God is simultaneously three and one; both good and evil.....
A thing and a no-thing...an everything and any-thing.

So Heidegger's Being in Time was a crock of shit.

Human has nothing to do with time or space.
It's non-essential.
I think your performance is making things clear.

Human is not time/space...it is....?
Say it.
I want you to say it.
Then I'm done.

It's the same for "one", as your conventional brilliance understands, and does not, it.

Quote :

Now we've progressed from claiming "one" is not finite to it being both and neither.

That's not what I said.
That's your misunderstanding speaking.

Unfortunately, you're too full of yourself to realize it.

Quote :

Whatever the first part of your sentence means.

Quote :

There's a good reason to think that Heidegger is full of shit.

Quote :

I think your performance is making things clear.

Humans do exist in time and space, that's beyond doubt, but whether a physical object can be represented by the word "human" or not is not determined by its position in time and space. This is evident by the fact that you can be ANYWHERE in space and time and still be considered a human.

Correct me, master. Is the one finite or infinite?

Quote :

If human is neither spatial nor temporal, what is it?

Oh, I'm learning much more than that.

So your conventional understanding of "human" does not exist in space/time.
It exists outside of it?
Where does "your human" exist?

Quote :

A single thing can be either finite or infinite.

Quote :

Humans are physical objects and physical objects are things that exist in time and space. So yes, humans do exist in time and space.

Quote :

Where does "your human" exist?

I said the opposite of that. I said that humans exist in time and space.

Unfortunately, your poor understanding of English language makes you incapable of understanding other people.

So now time/space are characterized by space/time?
Define the concepts conventionally.

Does being human have something to do with space/time or not?
Define both "time" and "space".

Which definition do you prefer?

Quote :

Ah...so it is both, simultaneously...depending no how you feel?

A single thing cannot be both finite and infinite. That would be a logical contradiction. A single thing can be EITHER finite OR infinite.

Quote :

Does being human have something to do with space/time or not?

Humans are physical objects which means that a thing must exist in time and space in order to be considered a human. However, no specific position in time and space is required. A physical object can be anywhere in space and time and it can still be considered a human.

Nope, you didn't.

Yes...it is both and neither.
NEITHER.
What determines it's infinitude and finiteness?

Define space/time.

You're hopeless.

What is a thing, which can be both and neither finite and infinite, depending no whatever you feel like at the moment?

Is "one" both infinite and finite?
Is it a "thing"?

What is a "physical object"?
What is physical as opposed to non-physical?
Is time and space physical?
What is space/time?
