2019-09-10 at 11:13 AM UTC in Do rainbows exist objectively?To answer your question more specifically: a perfect circle doesn't exist anywhere in the world but we do believe in the existence of "the circle", at the very least as an abstract object.
Just depends what you mean by existing. -

No, for example a square circle is inconceivable, it's just a set of words that don't grammatically clash, it's a valid sentence but the fact of it is impossible to even make sense of because it's internally as elf contradictory. Even a circle with a ratio of circumference to diameter different than pi, is

Originally posted by mmQ Well when I asked the "if a tree falls in the forest" thing was in my mind. If everyone in the whole world was completely blind, from day 1, THEN would color still exist?
Or like the minecraft example. Did minecraft always exist even before it was ever invented ? The POTENTIAL of it did, so in essence EVERYTHING exists, but it.. ya know.. doesnt exist either until someone can acknowledge it as a thing.
It's fine make fun of me I'm bad at this.
No you're okay. There's a concept called conceivability. Essentially, there are things that could possibly be but are not for contingent reasons.
I wouldn't say they already exist in a meaningful sense though. But there are as many people who disagree than agree on that. -

Originally posted by mmQ I understand. If it's just a simulation of our eye comes and rods I guess there is no such thing as REAL color, so the answer to my question would be the ability to see color since it had to have come first or else color wouldn't even exist.
You're getting closer but still off.
Our ability to see IS colours. How can you see without representing objects extended in space? How can you "visually" represent objects extended in space? Whatever that is, it's colours. The very fact that you are able to differentiate one thing from another visually, is colours.
You don't get the ability to see colours and it doesn't need to be a similar, vision is colours. -

Originally posted by Obbe A rainbow is an optical illusion caused by any water droplets viewed from a certain angle relative to a light source. A rainbow is a trick of your perception, like colour.
Your perception is an objective fact about the world that is in principle reducible to facts about the physical world. -

Originally posted by vindicktive vinny so if the 10year bonds that were sold in 2009 is already paid for in 2019 with 2019's budgeted money, and the since US is still having a deficit instead of surpluses,
that means the bond of 2009 is paid for by money borrowed from the future.
Sure, in part, but the money borrowed from tomorrow is paid for by our budget the day after. This isn't expected to continue forever, bit when it has to stop and the government stops operating on deficit, we'll be in a position of development where it really will not matter that we are not growing at max rate.
But if you are not blasting full speed ahead to get to that point, you are just wasting time. -

2 - you didnt answer the question. WHERE DID THE MONEY THAT PAYS FOR THE 10 YEAR BOND THAT WAS SOLD IN 2009 CAME FROM ?
Yes we still run at a deficit. But that budget includes paying off 10 year old bonds because, as I've already said, the economy has grown more than enough to pay over what was borrowed by far.this, from someone that believes things are paid for by "tax payers". and that getting leveraged is good.
Okay go open your own retard school of retard economics. -
2019-09-09 at 11:05 AM UTC in Do rainbows exist objectively?Colours exist objectively for the same reason Minecraft exists objectively. If you crack open a computer running Minecraft, you won't naively find any Minecraft, just integrated circuitry. Because what Minecraft is, is a simulation that gets abstracted so you can understand what is going on. Colours are the same exact way. It's an abstraction made to represent different qualities of life, what they are, are an information structure. And information structures exist objectively, specially non Shannonian information.

bear in mind that this year is deficit year.
The deficit in 2009 was ~9% of budget and 10 year bonds from 2009 had a yield rate of 2.52%.
Since 2009 the tax revenue has gone from $2.1 trillion to $3.6 trillion, which is more than a 50% increase.how men who doesnt stick their head under the pillows when their uncle and friends come for the dance party calculate national debts.
You are retarded and don't understand how economics work. USA #1. -

the "faith" that americans will be able to pay off their debts is no more different from ponzi schemes or crypto currencies.
A Ponzi scheme is what you were already insinuating (selling morenbonds to pay off earlier bonds), which is exactly what doesn't happen with US debt.

What argument do you believe this makes?
