Carlo Rovelli - What Exists?

Post by Veritas Aequitas »

This video is worth listening as it gives a lot of perspectives to what exists.

Carlo Rovelli - What Exists?

Lots of things exist.
But what is so absolutely fundamental in that it cannot be further reduced into anything more fundamental, but other things that exist can be reduced to it?

The challenge is to discern the minimum number of basic categories that can explain the entirety of existence.
Whatever the knot [or dead end] to the above issues, the path of any breakthrough is to focus and understand on the complexity of human nature, e.g. the inherent existence crisis that turned most into zombies which generate resistance to greater dynamic knowledge and truths.

Exists or existence is not a predicate, it is a merely a copula that connects the subject [object] to the predicate. Thus


The subject [object] exists as XYZ [the predicate].
The predicate is infinite.
So the question is how to manage such infinite existences?
