Kim argues that weak and global supervenience are too weak to guarantee any sort of dependency. Of the three original forms
of supervenience, strong, weak, and global, each commonly wielded across all branches of philosophy, two are thus cast aside
as uninteresting or useless. His arguments, however, fail to appreciate the strength of weak and global supervenience. I investigate
what weak and global supervenience relations are functionally and how they relate to strong supervenience. For a large class
of properties, weak and global supervenience are
equivalent to strong supervenience. I then offer a series of arguments showing that it is precisely because of their strength, not their
weakness, that both weak and global supervenience are useless in characterizing any dependencies of interest to philosophers.
