Can you give an example of something that exists, yet has absolutely no affect on anything? Name something for me.
or, if they are the same thing, perceived differently because there are - for example - different observers, and there is the problem of the subject/object dualism.
So do you believe that a box only exists when it is being observed? Or that its actual size depends on what someone thought its size was? And if they change their mind, the box changes its size?
You are saying that existence is that which has affect. But do all people really use the words “exist” and “existence” as you use them?
Firstly, it doesn’t really matter what ALL people do, but in my experience, I have never found anyone who, after being questioned, can name anything that they believe exists, and yet also believe that same thing has absolutely no affect.
A “declared definition” means that in this ontology (RM:AO), the word is going to mean what it is defined as. Other people can use that same word in many other ways. But in RM:AO, any time the word “exist” is used, it means “having affect”.
And if so, what or who ist the one which or who affects what or whom?
What or who is the first one?
Those are another subject. Which came first and which affects which, are separate details from the issue of what it means to exist within the ontology.
Does a “affectless affect” exist?
By definition, “Affectless affect” is an oxymoron. So no, an “affectless affect” could not exist any more than a “square circle”.
Is this so called “affectless affect” similar to the so called “unmoved mover”?
No. An unmoved mover would be something that never moved, but moved something else. An “affectless affect” would be an affect that had no affect. If it had no affect, then it wouldn’t be an affect.
Or are you meaning to ask if there is an “unaffected affect”? That would be a different question but again, is a separate issue from what it means to exist.
Different cultures/civilisations interpret or even construe the reality in a different way than other cultures/civilisations.
I’m not concerned with what “other cultures” might do. They might do anything.
Does nothingness or nonentity have any affect?
No. “Absolute nothingness” is the “lack of affect”.
What about the “nirvana”? What do you think about the “nirvana”? And probably in contrast: what does Zinnat think about the “nirvana”? What do you think about Zinnat’s thinking about the “nirvana”? … And so on …
???
I don’t know how many worms are in Zinnat’s apple.
Do I have reason to care?
