@Fil Albuquerque,

Its quite obvious that metaphysics is self- limiting since it seems to only have one word to identify "being".

Philosophers all seem to subscribe to Calvin 's statement that says, and I paraphrase of course;
"My work is so incomprehensible that it must be full of deep meaning"

Are you sure you are not confusing String theory or say, dark energy, with poetry?

The latter part of that statement seems to imply something patently false, got anything to back it up?

Is this a comment about Φ, your inability to quote directly, or you?

Ahhh, that is up to you grasshopper. Does the baker tell you what is in his chockie chip cookie?

Speaking of the nature of being, does Slavoj Žižek snort up his mucus for the entire 2 hours and 7 minutes of the performance?

Another interesting video, yet another take meant to decrease the deficit on intellectual exercise.
In these series of videos I will post different approaches to the topic for the sake of diversity.

Being there is being everywhere.
If I am to aknowledge them I am the set of all qualities.
The distinction between me and the world is just size.

There is nothing trully Alien. "Alien" is just the absence of my yet to fulfill future.

@Fil Albuquerque,

The set of all qualities/patterns, if finite, establishes that a growing infinite set of quantity is redundant. "New information" requires new patterns or qualities.
If the motion in the set is a loop of finite patterns then said motion is informatively redundant.
