3013	Nothing is stronger than necessity, which rules everything [Thales, by Diog. Laertius]
	Full Idea: Necessity is the strongest of things, for it rules everything.

10. Modality / E. Possible worlds / 2. Nature of Possible Worlds / a. Nature of possible worlds

18872	We should reject distinct but indiscernible worlds [Cameron]
	Full Idea: I think we should reject distinct but indiscernible worlds.
	From: Ross P. Cameron (Truthmakers, Realism and Ontology [2008], 'Max and Nec')
	A reaction: An interesting passing remark. Presumably there would be unknowable truths about such worlds, which wouldn't bother a full-blooded realist. Indiscernible to whom? Me? Humanity? A divine mind?
