old schizo message about Metaphysics
Here's is an old schizo message from discord I made about metaphysics and determinacy:
I just had weird probably either wrong and schizo or trivial and banal thought that contingency is necessary for there to be any determinacy whatsoever, and that because of this any sort of necessitarianism has to be completely Parmenidean to be true. My reasoning is that if anything is determined otherwise than something else, then insofar as both things are then what is could be either thing but if what is must be one or the other then either one is not and the other is or they both are each other for if what is has (since necessitarianism) to be either thing then there is no could for it to be the other thing so all you can say is what is is not what is not, and anything that is is, and if it is then it is everything else because it could not be anything but what is as what is is necessary. Basically I'm getting to this weird sense that if things cannot be otherwise in possibility they cannot be otherwise in actuality either which I think means everything has to be the same thing because if it was not then what is could refer to any of the things that are which are not the same meaning whatever you refer to is otherwise to what is not referred and both are meaning what is could be either thing. Again this probably wrong because I'm equivocating something or something and I don't even know basic philosophy of logic but I just wanted to get this out there before it leaves my head.
