Hi Stephen P. King I'll put up with the physical world, considering the alternative.

Hi Bruno, So why bother with the illusion of a physical world? If everything "just exists" in Platonia, why does it need to exist elsewhere? Why have an "elsewhere"? What is it in comp that necessitates the appearance of substances? How do the relative values of numbers, which are fixed and eternal in your thinking, acts as something like a prime mover that projects or whatever is the proper word you wish to uses to explain the emanations from Platonia to this realm? How do you explain the appearance of change from that which is changeless? You never seem to wish to go over the debate between Heraclitus and Parmenides and explain why you side with Parmenides. -- Onward!
