>If we assume that the world has no beginning in time, then up to every given moment an eternity has elapsed, and there has passed away in that world an infinite series of successive states of things. Now the infinity of a series consists in the fact that it can never be completed through successive synthesis. It thus follows that it is impossible for an infinite world-series to have passed away, and that a beginning of the world is therefore a necessary condition of the world's existence.

>>16893023You lack the ability to ponder the meaning of art. You lack the inclination to think of the abstract. You mock and reject those who engage in the dillema of life. But you don't have any meaning. You have no greater purpose. You dance without music.

>>16892998Kant's quote is one of the paradoxes he presented as evidence for his transcendental aesthetic. He also presented the opposite argument whereas if time (or space) has boundaries, what is beyond those boundaries? His solution was transcendental idealism. Just as the mind overlays categories of perception to shape our experience of the world, time and space are what he called "forms of the intuition", what our mind uses to make sense of and categorize reality so that the chaos of pure sensation has meaning. His presenting reality as we know it to be dependent entirely on the observer was his greatest contribution to philosophy and a death blow to the empiricism that reigned at the time.

>>16892998Doesn't this mean that time is a loop? Every possible event has already happened, therefore said events must happen again some time in the future if the universe continues existing forever.
