Ever reminisce on "golden" experiences that you wish you never left?

What about times of extreme depression in which you felt that life held no future?


Prediction is the act of anticipating the future. Randomness is that condition which allows uncertainty and vice versa. What may be considered impossible in a present context can become reality in a completely remote future setting. Einsteinian Physics argues that time is a variant of space. A plane ride to another continent the next morning you wake up will cause the past and the future to become as unrelated mentally as their physical setting. Your whole life you're unable to imagine the experience, yet the next morning you're there. As humans, we have an emotional response to past experiences we hold dear. The only reason there is an emotional response is because there exists perceptually unrelated elements between the past and present. If every possibility exists within a mind then everything that exists is a mental construct of the mind. Hence, there is no past, present, or future within that mind.

If the statement "impossibility is impossible" is true, then we run into a logical paradox.

But then, "possibility is impossible" is also a parodox.

Therefore, only "possibility is possible" can be true.

If every possibility exists within a mind then everything that exists is a construct of the mind.

...That is because a possiblity relies upon an existing construct. In order for a possibility to exist (or to be possible), a construct must exist. In order for a contruct to exist, it must be possible. The mind is a construct and a possibility. Hence, possibility and construct become recursive which causes each to rely on the mind.

First off: As you're an Idealist, I would love your response to "Refutation of Non-Transcendental Idealism".

Now, for an answer.

If every possibility exists within a mind then everything that exists is a mental construct of the mind. Hence, there is no past, present, or future within that mind.

Possibility does not entail: 1. Necessity (in fact something ceases to be a possibility once it is realized or is a necessity) 2. Existence. As you said "possibility is possible", but beyond that, nothing more is known.

Ontop of that, simply because it was once thought as a possibility in the mind, and then later demonstrated to be so, does not mean that the mind produced it. What makes you think otherwise?

...That is because a possiblity relies upon an existing construct. In order for a possibility to exist (or to be possible), a construct must exist.

Suppose we had no construct of "a fish", say, we are an alien from a planet with no fish. We come to Earth and happen upon this creature, a fish. Must we have the construct of the fish in our minds first?

But then, "possibility is impossible" is also a parodox.

Is it? What if all is necessary?
