Nice video, it reminded me of the unsolvable math equation "The Collatz Conjecture". Everything leads to 1

Do I take it that this naturally leads to the belief of predeterminism? If nothing is in change then perhaps the "illusion" of motion is predetermined beforehand?

My man Zeno complaining bout low fps 9:00

[@archeacnos]

Motion is an illusion, low fps is an illusion

[@toorcicefist8018]

Seems they had opposing thoughts.

[@primitivaroots]

What in our thought today can be traced to Zeno?

Constancy... Sweeeeeeeet constancy

Is this you? The recording sounds way different.

Zeno's grain argument stating we cannot trust our senses is much more easily interpreted as "We cannot trust Zeno." All of his arguments drum down to making phenomenon below our threshold to observe, therefore they don't happen. Classic equivocation of something with nothing foundation for a lie.
