ITT: discuss metaphysics

Metaphysical knowledge is impossible given how any given metaphysical position is compatible with any possible empirical observation. Metaphysics is only possible a priori, but a priori knowledge doesn't exist.

Time is the formal condition à priori of all phenomena whatsoever.

Time doesn't exist. I haven't seen it.

>>20742839
Neither coexistence nor succession would be perceived by us, if the representation of time did not exist as a foundation à priori.
Without this presupposition we could not represent to ourselves that things exist together at one and the same time, or at different
times, that is, contemporaneously, or in succession.

I'm still working on a metaphysic w/ a combination of the thoughts of v. thinkers--including the following: i.e., a la Wolfram, Lakoff, Gödel, Hofstadter, Conant, The Bible, and but so Zhuangzi et al.; that is among other intellects, and so on and so on, etc., &c.

There's no evidence for sucession though, we could imagine that the world started to exist right now and our previous memories are implanted.

My metaphysics are very much aligned with Leibniz, The Vendata (or so I'm told) and Descartes. There might be some Locke in there too.

No? You're ultimately self-defeating becuase of your tiny brain.
