A Quick Dialogue with Another Analytic Metaphysician Friend
One. I can look at the hole in a sweater from either side of a sweater. I can look through the hole of a straw from either side.
What if it was 3 miles long?
Still one. 😄
I can dig it 🫡🫡
If the hole is really emptiness within a circle or cynlinder, then, a hole would be the absence of whatever should be in it.
That’s my engineering attempt o philosophy… here goes nothing…
If there is no screw in the nut, then something might simply disassemble or fall and cease to exist.
Just one that I am aware of. Of course that does depend on whether or not straws exist?
1! Topology answers this question! You can continuously deform the top (or bottom) of the straw to see that it is merely a flat disk with a single hole in it https://images.app.goo.gl/wKGGfNWdP3TeRxYz5
