@MoogleHariant There actually are serious problems with making sense of continuity, but it’s frustrating that some philosophers still refuse
@Meaningness @MoogleHariant Time continuity & space continuity are both nonsense but at least we can agree they are the same nonsense.

@St_Rev @MoogleHariant I hadn’t thought of it quite that way! Yeah, so long as they’re the same nonsense, they cancel. -
@St_Rev @MoogleHariant OTOH, I gather that both are on increasingly shaky ground, so maybe they will wind up being different nonsenses :-( -
@Meaningness @MoogleHariant Motion is a map from one to the other. Therefore if you sort out one, you sort out the other. -
@St_Rev @MoogleHariant Unless they are not homeomorphic (is that the right word?) in which case Zeno was right and motion impossible. Whatev -
@Meaningness @MoogleHariant (The mapping exists OR my memories were manufactured) is a true statement. -
@St_Rev @MoogleHariant It’s a major puzzle what drugs the Eleatics took. They seem to have sincerely believed nothing can ever change. -
@Meaningness @MoogleHariant I would suspect that they were just trolling each other, and we don't get the laugh lines. -
@St_Rev @MoogleHariant That’s been seriously proposed, particularly re Zeno. Makes more sense to me than anything else.
