For the MODS. Please ban this user harrassing me.

This user is trying to cyber bully me, but I am a Enlightened Martial Artist, and his attack backfired.

But for the sake of protecting others who may not be as strong as I, please permanently ban this user from this VIRTUOUS reddit group.

I just investigated his comment history.

He goes around insulting others in spiritual reddits. Very abusive type behavior, not cool!

Related accidental and essential properties

Hello!

I'm wondering if/where Aristotle discusses closely-related accidental and essential properties, for example, in a red apple, its red color is accidental because it could be a different color while still being an apple, but it has to have some color, because no colorless things are apples, which would make color in general an essential property of the apple.

Are these two separate properties?

  1. The apple's redness (accidental)

  2. The apple's color (essential)

It doesn't seem that the apple's red color is a species of its color, because although red is a species of color, accidental properties are not a species of essential properties.

So it seems that the apple's redness and the apple's color are two separate properties, though this seems quite counterintuitive!

I am curious about Aristotle's thoughts, but also yours!

Aether = Dark Matter

Aristotelēs had a Geocentric view of the universe only because this was a trivial detail at the time compared to the URGENT MORAL and POLITICAL teachings he provided us all.

Copernicus was a great scientist and astronomer. However, he was likely not quite as advanced as Lord Aristotelēs in understanding COSMIC LAW.

I will go as far as to suggest that Lord Aristotelēs even understood Dark Matter itself. This would again put him many centuries ahead of Copernicus, and almost every other human's understanding of TRUE COSMIC LAW. Lord Christ and Lord Buddha being the exceptions.

Aristotle Destroys All Modern Philosophy in One Sentence:

“There is a principle in things, about which we cannot be deceived, but must always, on the contrary recognize the truth,-viz. that the same thing cannot at one and the same time be and not be, or admit any other similar pair of opposites.” Metaphysics, Book XI Part V

Here Aristotle does not lay down a mere formal suggestion or “model,” he expounds a law of thought, intelligence, reason and meaning. This law draws a line, it demarcates those who are ignorant from those who are willfully incoherent.

Anyone who rejects this or attempts to contradict it, merely affirms it— they shout, as from the highest mountaintop, that they belong to the most common species of “Stupid.”

This law renders the irrationalist functionally mute. The moment they open their mouth to deny it, they have used it. They are like a man using his lungs to argue that air does not exist.

To ignore this principle is not "brave" or "subversive,” it is a surrender to a self-inflicted lobotomy. One cannot "deconstruct" the floor they are standing on without falling into the basement of idiocy.
