Right. That is why the word incontrovertible is included. One's opinions and desires, etc. con't matter a hill of beans to what is necessarily true for come collection of (multiple!) observers. I also assume a version of the anthropic principle: An observer can only experience a reality that is

Hi Brent, How long do we have to wait of the generations to run when time isn't an allowed concept? In Platonia there is no time, therefore no arguments that imply the necessary existence of time are allowed. On Sat, Dec 28, 2013 at 1:40 AM, meekerdb meeke...@verizon.net wrote: On
