On Freedom Article 3 of a 10-part series dedicated to ontology, refuting metaphysical freedom and redefining it as the probabilistic activity within the bound process of the conference of difference.

On Belief Article 2 of a 10-part series dedicated to ontology, redefining belief as the ontological 'grant of leave' that enables the conference of difference

🧠 Forget everything you think you know about belief. It's not faith or psychology—it's the primordial "grant of leave" that permits being itself to unfold. The second article in my ontology series is live.

Forget substances. From quantum fields to your thoughts, reality is a verb. How does "Conference of Difference" redefine existence? #Ontology #Philosophy #Science

What if the universe is fundamentally made of verbs, not nouns? The photon isn't a "thing" but a process we've been miscategorizing for a century.

Thank you so much. The Cambridge Companion to Hannah Arendt it is. Hope Santa's listening and by that I mean my wife and/or kids 😉

Thank you for that Alison. Do you know if there's a good source to read her thoughts on that? If so, it might be appropriate for me to acknowledge her concerns in the article. 😊

Ideology doesn't promote thinking.🧠 It stops it.

Spent my first 21 years in NZ before moving back home to Oz Wouldn't want to have grown-up anywhere else. 🙂

I should also declare that I use the word 'secular' to disambiguate myself from my namesake i.e. the young earth creationist who runs Creation Research. 🙄

Thank you. 🙏 Whilst my approach to ontology is secular, I think the revelation that the conference of difference is the constant expression principal to existence brings us closer to knowing God than we have ever been.

Is the universe a clockwork or a casino? A new article argues it's neither. Discover the "Conference of Difference" model that resolves the ancient feud between determinism and probability.

All existence is a conference of difference, a 'condition of bearing together' transforming the 'condition of bearing apart'. This is the Gospel (God spell) of Being; everything else is commentary. 😉

✴️ Metaontology: What are the real rules behind every debate about #God, #truth, or #reality? Metaontology isn't just #philosophy—it's the hidden code of our arguments. Learn to crack it. 🙂 www.johnmackay.net/metaontology...

What if all existence is a conference of difference, a 'condition of bearing together' transforming the 'condition of bearing apart'. Something like: ∃ = {∆} 😊

And sometimes, just sometimes people want clarity and there's nothing authoritarian about it and yes, I'm speaking to you Quantum Mechanics 😜

"...true hospitality is not transactional—it is spiritual presence. It’s not something you do, but something you are." Amen.

The secular ontology espoused in the Gospel of Being acknowledges a parallel trinity of sorts, not as Father, Son and Holy Spirit but as Cause, Effect and Essence. 🙏

Scalia's comment assumes nothing changes and yet everything does.😔

"...how we talk about collapse matters just as much as that we talk about it."

I get "this content isn't available" 😭

Interesting read especially clarification that the fires of ghenna was not hell but instead where rubbish was burned outside the city walls.🤔

#ChatGPT refusing to explain what violates #OpenAI image policy is like the police arresting you and refusing to tell you why!? It's beyond dystopian, it's insane.

I know what I mean by democracy. I was simply enquiring what you mean by it. Without knowing your definition (even if different to mine) there's no point in discussing the construct. 🥴

By democracy you mean electoral democracy -yes?
