@schakalsynthetc @GabrielDuquette @nydwracu The serious Marxists think they can find common cause with the Islamists, which is hilarious.
@schakalsynthetc I probably know what you're talking about, I just can't parse this context.

@St_Rev this situation is probably mutual -
@St_Rev there is no sequence of transitions between world states such that I'll have a tiny pink elephant in my hand three minutes from now -
@St_Rev so (not (pink elephant in hand)) is modally a necessarily true proposition -
@St_Rev (I have a glass of orange juice in my hand) is modally possible, ie there is a sequence such that it is true three minutes from now -
@St_Rev temporality (past, present, future) is a specific type of modality -
@St_Rev "teleology" is really just an argument about exactly how many possible future states-of-the-world can be reached from here -
@schakalsynthetc I don't think that's what most people mean when they refer to it. -
@St_Rev yeah, my stance is an argument that the further meanings ppl ascribe to it are obfuscations, modality is all there actually is to it - 1 more reply
