A Cartesian Argument for Reductive Metaphysical Idealism( OPT)

 ...Cartesian argument for analytic reductive metaphysical idealism...John konnor... 1) we can deny the concrete existence of the physical ( emergent spacetime) 2) if we can deny the concrete existence of the physical ( emergent spacetime), then consciousness is fundamental 3) consciousness is fundamental (1,2 MP) 4) if consciousness is fundamental we are minds experiencing the effects of the self apprehension of the prior mind 5)  we are minds experiencing the effects of the self apprehension of the prior mind (3,4 MP) 6) if we are minds experiencing the effects of the self apprehension of the prior mind , then reductive metaphysical idealism is the case 7) reductive metaphysical idealism is the case(5,6 MP) Brief defense: 1) the immersive matrix from which entanglement produces physical phenomenal experience must be an exotic non semiotically neutral organizational and intentional substance, due to the computational aspect of spacetime( integrated information) 2) since we ca...

Contra the Logical Problem of Hell

 ...argument contra the *logical* problem of hell...John konnor... 1) if God designs the world such that the maximum number of virts( virtue units) can be attained per nature then a populated eternal heaven exists 2) God designed the world such that the maximum number of virts( virtue units)can be attained per nature 3) a populated eternal heaven exists( 1,2 MP) 4) if a populated eternal heaven exists then a populated eternal hell exists 5) a populated eternal hell exists (3,4 MP) Brief defense of premises: 1) premise 1 is saying that a virt is an abstract measure of good making action. Good making actions increase the virtues a person acquires. There can be no good making actions if we cannot admit the opposite set of bad making actions( vices). For example, It is logically impossible to have patient endurance( perseverance) unless we have some sort of oppression. The more patient endurance( heroic perseverance) correlates to a greater oppressor. Ultimately a great accruer of vice...

The MOA Under OPT

 ...the MOA under OPT...under Ontic pancomputational theism the Modal Ontological Argument would need to have accessibility relations between ontological possible worlds such as string theory worlds or everret worlds as well as between purely conceptual non accessible worlds...under this model the MOA would only need Brouwer and the K distribution axiom to succeed... One good thing about this model concerns the MOA. Under this model God would be a hyperdimensional intellect. Something analogous to an integrated information network. So, God would be a maximal element and an ontological grounding element. It would be a case of God operating according to an ideal physics which is metaphysically necessary and which interfaces with all metaphysically contingent physics.hence, we would have Omnisubjectivity. God could still be defined as a non physical intellect. If you defined the accessibility relations across worldframes it would be euclidean for possible worlds with ens rational occu...
