37. So, the purely actual actualizer is omnipotent. 38. Whatever is in an effect is in its cause in some way, whether formally, virtually, or eminently (the principle of proportionate causality). 39. The purely actual actualizer is the cause of all things. 40. So, the forms or patterns manifest in all the things it causes must in some way be in the purely actual actualizer. 41. These forms or patterns can exist either in the concrete way in which they exist in individual particular things, or in the abstract way in which they exist in the thoughts of an intellect.

Part 3
42. They cannot exist in the purely actual actualizer in the same way they exist in individual particular things. 43. So, they must exist in the purely actual actualizer in the abstract way in which they exist in the thoughts of an intellect. 44. So, the purely actual actualizer has intellect or intelligence. 45. Since it is the forms or patterns of all things that are in the thoughts of this intellect, there is nothing that is outside the range of those thoughts. 46. For there to be nothing outside the range of something's thoughts is for that thing to be ominiscient. 47. So, the purely actual actualizer is omniscient. 48. So, there exists a purely actual cause of the existence of things, which is one, immutable, eternal, immaterial, incorporeal, perfect, fully good, omnipotent, intelligent, and omniscient. 49. But for there to be such a cause of things is just what it is for God to exist. 50. So, God exists.
βThe Neo-Platonic proof for the existence of God
Part 1
1. The things of our experience are composite. 2. A composite exists at any moment only insofar as its parts are combined at that moment. 3. This composition of parts requires a concurrent cause. 4. So, any composite has a cause of its existence at any moment at which it exists. 5. So, each of the things of our experience has a cause at any moment at which it exists. 6. If the cause of a composite thing's existence at any moment is itself composite, then it will in turn require a cause of its own existence at that moment. 7. The regress of causes this entails is hierarchical in nature, and such a regress must have a first member. 8. Only something absolutely simple or noncomposite could be the first member of such a series. 9. So, the existence of each of the things of our experience presupposes an absolutely simple or noncomposite cause. 10. In order for there to be more than absolutely one simple or noncomposite cause, each would have to have some differentiating feature that the others lacked. 11. But for a cause to have such a feature would be for it to have parts, in which case it would not really be simple or noncomposite. 12. So, no absolutely simple or noncomposite cause can have such a differentiating feature. 13. So, there cannot be more than one absolutely simple or non-composite cause.
βThe Neo-Platonic proof for the existence of God
Part 2
14. If the absolutely simple or noncomposite cause were changeable, then it would have parts which it gains or loses which, being simple or non-composite, it does not have. 15. So, the absolutely simple or noncomposite cause is changeless or immutable. 16. If the absolutely simple or noncomposite cause had a beginning or an end, it would have parts which could either be combined or broken apart. 17. So, since it has no such parts, the absolutely simple or non-composite cause is beginningless and endless. 18. Whatever is immutable, beginningless, and endless is eternal. 19. So, the absolutely simple or noncomposite cause is eternal. 20. If something is caused, then it has parts which need to be combined. 21. So, the absolutely simple or noncomposite cause, since it has no parts, is uncaused.

Ng, who had pleaded not guilty to all charges, had been detained for more than 20 months. His channel was said to have contained around 120 messages and photos that incited others to vandalise pro-government shops and commit criminal damage targeting police stations. The groupβs featured image is of a Pepe frog yelling, often referred to as the βREEEEEEEβ meme. Pepe the Frog was created back in 2005 by Matt Furie and has since become an internet symbol for meme culture and βdegenβ culture. In the βBear Market Screaming Therapy Groupβ on Telegram, members are only allowed to post voice notes of themselves screaming. Anything else will result in an instant ban from the group, which currently has about 75 members.
