Philosophy of Being

This video explores the nature of being and it's logical conclusions. These ideas were first posited by Parmenides, who was a monistic materialist. I hope to do more philosophy videos, because youtube is lacking in that area.

How can non-existence produce existence. I mean total non-existence and non-beingness

[TheWayshowerTube]

Eternal Self-Existence. It make sense to say existence and beingness was never caused and can never be ended.

it simply is

this is too funny, all philosophies are just methods of thinking what it is we're experiencing. all can be true all can be false aand contradictions are complementaries to eachother that is the dao. philosophy is like a man who can't hear thinking about hearing, he has no experience so there is no truth. experiment, be your own scientist don't listen just because it sounds kool lolz

Man i really dont wanna be mean but this sucks, good shot i guess but the pros kick your freakin ass. Its not the info thats the problem its the presentation.

I don't think it is right to consider Parmenides as a materialist. his teaching was definitely monistic but you cant say that he had a big materialistic tendencies.

thought great video

Where is a third possibility that things came from NEITHER EXISTENCE NOR NON EXISTENCE.

Since No thing can come from Non existence as you have said, and I claim nothing can come from existence since as you yourself admit that it is no real coming.

Now this is no coming.

Now the only option is that they have come from that which is Neither exist Nor Does Not exist .Logical contradictions may not be accepted but the LAW OF EXCLUDING THE MIDDLE MAY BE VIOLATED. So their is no ILLOGICAL concept.
