Yeah but that "Something" outside of us that we are also part of it wasn't created by Humans.But we know there is.So let's suppose a different creatur...

True.But you have to acknowledge also that this is totally filtered by our human physiology,our senses and brain. It would be too egoistic for humans ...
October 25, 2022 at 20:47
If you think it better,it is not metaphysical position at all.It is in fact true. Reality and what we perceive as real is totally attached to the way ...
October 25, 2022 at 20:23
You answered my questions but you generated many more.Unfortunately my knowledge in semiotics isn't deep at all as to counter argue your thesis and ke...
October 02, 2022 at 23:01
First thanks for your time answering the questions and also for being so analytic.Excellent post. So we agree that at the end we do try to make world-...
October 02, 2022 at 11:09
Your approach is really interesting and it triggers a question that i have for years and it applies here also. Our senses are limited.That is a fact.W...
October 01, 2022 at 22:13
Nice. Well even if you name it serious conversation (and truly is) still it is born from the deadend to explain/figure out what these observations in ...
September 30, 2022 at 22:50
But the problem is that in QM the "evidence" lead to a deadend so far.The actual theory itself is schocking and mind blowing to what we already knew a...
September 30, 2022 at 21:19
The problem with that definition is that by that ,we cannot say about anything at all that is "real".Since every procedure that allows us know/think/c...
September 27, 2022 at 11:32
Same here.Whatever you decide to do you are morally covered.Choosing keeping him for all that time you have done so far,is heroic already.Best wishes....

So you are sure that God must definitely be one of us walking around somewhere on earth,"dressed up"like a human. So why not you to be that one? Ok. N...
August 15, 2022 at 19:09
So if I understood well, since you don't have enough proofs for the opposite, you do leave an open window as to you to be the actual God indeed aw??
August 15, 2022 at 19:01
Well yeah, there are some grey zones in moral issues but there are some absolutes also, imo. "Not killing Joe" is one of these for example. And if con...
August 13, 2022 at 21:10
I wrote many times "as possible". It does not have to be" on the other side". I agree. That's why for statements like: "I exist", "my mind exists", "u...
August 13, 2022 at 19:49
For start compunctions. Feeling guilt that I caused such a suffering to Joe's family and people who loved him.Also that ended Joe's life and the poten...
August 13, 2022 at 14:07
Well I am a bit surprised here. It is a strange rule.Why you think mind reverses things? In what way you mean it? And why things are opposite of what ...
August 12, 2022 at 20:54
Same here.
August 12, 2022 at 13:52
Well no need. If you wish to debate about that go on. No problem. Just seeing your post triggered my feelings as I described above. You little bastard...
August 11, 2022 at 20:17
I would name them your "way of living" absolute truths. They might not be relevant to universe but damn I liked these 2. The strange thing though is t...
August 11, 2022 at 17:18
Holly shit. This is exactly how a strict definition game always ends up. Like a dog chasing its own tail. At the end not being able to talk about anyt...
August 11, 2022 at 17:11
You are Mad and Fool!! :wink:
August 11, 2022 at 15:06
No but I will check it. I have read about though how Penrose thinks that Quantum phenomena are possible to take place in brain's microtubules and I fo...
August 11, 2022 at 15:04
Well you can call it that way too. I made on purpose that thread as expression of personal beliefs/truths (or any other word you choose) first cause I...
August 11, 2022 at 14:55
I would like to hear more about that. So you think mind function is a quantum procedure like Penrose suggests?That quantum mechanic phenomena are goin...
August 11, 2022 at 14:35
I ask for personal absolute truths that can be as much "free" as they can from everything human-ish. As much as that is possible of course cause total...
August 11, 2022 at 03:34
Sorry I don't understand what you wanna say.
August 11, 2022 at 01:46
You didn't point out anything at all neither explained why it doesn't make sense. It makes perfect sense since it's a simple question. "Is your existe...
August 11, 2022 at 01:45
I really can't understand why you have to make things so complicated. I understand that is your type of writing but really I find it totally unnecessa...
August 10, 2022 at 22:40
I think it's not an imaginary scenario at all. It is transferred indeed. The great question though is what actually information is?! Wow that was mind...
August 10, 2022 at 22:24
Leaving Descartes aside. You, 180proof hold as an absolute truth your existence, your mind's existence and universe's existence too? . Do you have eno...
August 10, 2022 at 21:59
So it is safe to state that thinking is a phenomenon that appears in universe. That universe enables the existence of the phenomenon of thoughts. Righ...
August 10, 2022 at 19:17
Tottaly agree. That's why I ask for each person's individual truths cause of the exact uncertain nature of the search for absolute truths. It is a min...
August 10, 2022 at 19:09
Yeah but despite human existence or not,universe has to have a function no? Well that function has to work in some way. Right? Not necessarily have pu...
August 10, 2022 at 17:24
No I don't see it that way at all. Each of us has his own truths which consider them as undeniable. I don't see any harm at sharing them with others.
August 10, 2022 at 16:33
No I don't doubt at all to any of all these you mentioned and I wonder how you get that idea. Weird. All these though are human concepts that have not...
August 10, 2022 at 16:30
Instinctually he knows it indeed. I agree.
August 10, 2022 at 16:14
Something that can't be doubted. That is an undeniable fact and can be totally sure about it. But cause such kind of truths with universal application...
August 10, 2022 at 16:07
Fair enough. Though it could also count for an absolute truth itself
August 10, 2022 at 15:54
Yeah we might not know for sure what is the exact form of what is presented to us by our senses but we can be sure St least that there is "something" ...
August 10, 2022 at 15:51
Yet still though isn't an evidence for its universal feedback role.
August 10, 2022 at 14:59
That is the case indeed, either you like it or not. I just try to learn how to swim into chaos.That's all. Not easy though. Or else I would have to gr...
August 10, 2022 at 14:55
Ok got it now where you stand.I can't say that I m in agreement with your statement, though consciousness fascinates me the most.It is a great mystery...
August 10, 2022 at 14:17
You mean in relation with others as society or that our actions matter even in universal function? If yes in what way?
August 10, 2022 at 13:35
So you think that we are condemned to uncertainty about the general picture? I don't want to admit it but it might probably be the case.
August 10, 2022 at 10:50
Yeah it is at best a very good speculation, but still that doesn't make it certainty.
August 10, 2022 at 10:43
Could you explain that a little more? You mean that as relations to exist, it first presupposes "things" to exist as to get related? That's why you th...
August 10, 2022 at 10:36
Sure it is. Everything you mentioned here is still united with each other. I didn't say that everything is connected immediately with each other. I m ...
August 10, 2022 at 10:26
Great spirits meet in the crossroads of all the great questions. Nice quote what you presented here.
August 10, 2022 at 01:09
It's kind similar to mine that everything is united, connected. And as extension of it I do believe also that everything is related to others. Nice no...
