It is clear from my last blog post that because the world exists, objects in them must not exist, because then the world would have to be infinite to fit these infinite objects. However, time in its pure form (no space) exists. Many people said the imagination doesnt exist but the ideas that never "make it" to reality do. So then, what, if anything, does the self comprise of.

Remember to be existent people said that it cannot be contained in a space but must be "free-floating"

Do you exist if nobody reads your forum posts? Did I just do you a favor?

You sound like a real Humean when you raise the interesting question it was he who said if a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound. 

I think the first thing to do is to stop Hume and say look the tree doesnt exist

so here i would ask not if i exist if nobody reads my forum posts, but without the predicate - if i exist. and leave the forum posts out (for now)

What purpose does nihilism serve anyway? What is its "virtue?"

when you say what is its virtue i ask what is virtue... 

because virtue is a part of a self, but if a self doesnt exist virtue doesnt either

...and when you ask what is virtue, I ask why don't I have anything better to do. Do I exist?

according to descartes yes - ideas (such as doing something better to do) exist, so "I" (the self) exists - and thus "nature" or omnipotent thing exists. but kant said no. only the idea exists. you asking it is just a representation of your existing thought.

basically descartes is a dualist so he believes mind and body are separate. you can see kant as a physicalist in this respect.

its how you divide objects metaphysically

Where does an idea reside if not within an existing body and mind?

Plato thought the body was just a "vesicle" so that the soul (or what we now say the idea) would not fall out. As the body grows and decays (subject to the laws of nature) so it is not free, thus it does not exist as an autonomous thing. but ideas are self-controlled, they are not heteronomous, so they, unlike bodies exist. why the distinction is due to freedom

again everything is subordinate to subjective language - there exist evidently two worlds that of subject to laws of nature and those free, its only subjective language to say what is existing (and henceforth what is non-existing)

by the way i am not philosophizing but am a slave freeing my emancipator, by giving birth in beauty

Do ideas not decay like the bodies they reside in? People once thought the world was flat, but that idea has surely decayed. If an idea is no longer free from being proven factually wrong, does the idea cease to exist?

Glad to see the French still exists.

im not talking about the idea in the physical world. once you introduce it its something else im talking about the idea on its own, even unbeknownst to you (something like an unconscious)
