Maybe it is not in your experience. Maybe we are equivocating on a word. Or maybe you fail to recognize what is embedded in your sentence.
- shades of James - “It’s all affectance”
Some residual thoughts –
- Motion and change are just different aspects of the exact same thing.
- Space is created BY change or motion - space is an aspect of the changing.
- Light is the most fundamental expression of the changing (“In the beginning—”)
- Quantum Mechanics involves no forces - it is an illusion from statistical analysis (not merely from James but many authors).
You really should read his book (or the book of his writings from that Mithus character).
Observing him for years most certainly affected my thinking about things (MIJOT being my fav - now available on Apple as an app). And I’m curious about that “anentropic diet”.
Affect and Change gets around. 
I was a mere child when James was here.
Uccisore and James used to laugh that I’d PM James to defend me in an argument.
I’m a man now and the roles are reversed.
I’m defending them.
The only James in philosophy I have read is william James. Too bad for me that James Saint was unknown to me; he certainly has been impactful on
the life of his readers.
He’s not too shabby. I’m everyone’s student. That’s how I got to where I am.
Even beyond the grave I’m his student.
Instill and whatever…. He’s a good teacher.
The most important thing about James in my mind is that he understood that if everything’s the same existence couldn’t exist.
He knew that like I knew that.
I was pretty floored that someone else knew that besides me.
Obviously now James likes me to teach him.
People never die to me, so I don’t mourn them.
If James was here he’d love this proof.
Existence has to always exist otherwise we wouldn’t be here right now. And all proofs for contradiction can be made from that. He was a bright guy.
Now I am what I am. Call it a learning curve if you want… James acknowledges me as his teacher now.
James learned from lots of people as well.
But he wasn’t where I am now.
I’m an eternal student, which makes me an eternal master.
We all mourn in our own way even the losses of people who are still alive. Some of us idealize the people as we remember them. Some of us idealize the people as they remember us.
Sometimes I think if I can resurrect people in their old bodies…. But that’d be rude.
It’s one of those “watch what you wish for” kind of things.
They don’t want to be here.
I have to respect that.
Last I observed concerning James was his substantive score - approaching 90% compared to the typical 20-30%. That required a lot more - a whole lot more - contemplation and analysis on exactly what he was really trying to convey – and to whom (a long story some day).
For those who haven’t read his work - it seems to be all about how literally everything - all existence - including people and society - as well as physics - energy, mass, motion - time and dimensions - are all entirely made of AFFECTANCE (his fav word = “subtle influence” and “the changing” - fav of Chinese and Jewish manipulation currently having huge impact on the entire world). A couple of his many insightful thoughts -
- Why does light travel at that particular speed? He gives an answer.
- Why do positive and negative particles attract? Also gives an answer
James was big on WHY - concerning everything - and giving actual rational answers (as far as I could tell).
Until recently my greater suspicion was that James was actually up to no good (long story for that) - but now I can see that he didn’t just give instruction on how to destroy things - but also how to save them - in ways I can see people actually using to prevent some extremely serious bad (I prefer thinking of hims a good bloke).
Spinozean “affect”.
I prefer the term interactive - causality - retaining the concept of ‘activity’ indicating energy.
A state of agitation.
There is no void, no emptiness, no nothingness, in the absolute sense; though there is a state of no-thingness, since ‘thing’ is a mental construct, representing a perceived pattern, i.e., order.
Chaos is a state of no-thingness, because there is no patterned energies to be consciously interpreted as ‘thing,’ i.e., abstracted.
All is Energy.
