@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing Namely, it’s almost the same argument I will use in http://meaningness.com/boundaries-objects-connections … but I come to quite different conclusion -
@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing I want to say his paper is all either trivial or wrong but if that were true I'd be able to explain it myself. -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing Namely, he jumps from “there are no objective boundaries” to “nothing exists.” -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing This is the classic nihilist failure—sharing with eternalism the assumption that only sharp-edged things are real.
