Very interesting. Thanks for bringing it up. :up: (I don't know however when I'll find the time to read all that --including @Wayfarer's recommendatio...
Thanks for your contribution to the topic. (Are you sure this is only "two cents"? :grin:) I see what you mean. But is just "survives" enough? Every o...
Thank you for your response to the topic. Certainly. Right, we can attribute to it different meanings. However, there is a scientific and precise defi...
Thank you for your response, Javi. Right. The concept fits to all conquerors. The will for and act of conquering comes from mental illness and is a fo...
Thank you for your response. This is what I said at the beginning. It was Spencer's idea: "Herbert Spencer (1820–1903) was an English philosopher who ...
The dialog that follows is fictitious. Any reference to real persons or aliens, living or dead, is purely coincidental. According to my report, we can...
This is a translation of the Greek "?? ???? ?? ? ????? ??? ???? ?? ? ?????" (transliterated as "En archi in o logos kai Theos in o logos"), with which...
The payload was a dead alien travelling with the balloon. (Fans of "Area 55" are certain about this.) :grin: Good question. I also have a question: "W...
OK. But if their nature is physical, shouldn't they be perceivable? Well, I wonder if the same question applies to the gods of the Greek and other myt...
All this is very interesting, Javi! I know almost nothing about Shinto religion, but from what you say I understand that these gods are physical in na...
I would rather say that the existence of God is inherently unprovable and unverifiable, since concepts are abstract ideas, not objects, hypotheses or ...
Of course person(ified) Gods are products of imagination. But not only that; single-entity Gods are depicted as males and referred to in the male gend...
It looks like "arche" is indeed very important in philosophy. But only in a general sense,. E.g. for me, it isn't. And of course I undestand why you b...
I think this interpretation is correct. The Greek word for "universe" is "??????" (sympan), which comes from the preposition"???" (= with, together) a...
I read a little more about "kosmos" to see why Pythagoras used that word and what it meant to him. According to his biographer Iamblichus, "Pythagoras...
True. The "magic" of the ancient Greek language was --and still is!-- that the words themselves most often contain their meaning. This can be easily s...
Yes, this is the dictionary I was talking about :up: I have the monolingual version (Greek). But the term "kosmos" contains no reference about or hint...
In my Great Lexicon of the Ancient Greek Language, the main definition of the word "cosmos" (??????, kosmos) is simply "order". The secondary definiti...
Interesting. I didn't know (or remember) that. I personally found (at that time) and I still find this method (Q & A) very interesting and productive....
I think I suffer from this kind of illness! Not Misologism (hatred of logic). The opposite: Philologism (love of logic) :grin: I'm a member of the sam...
This looks like a shady photo! Do we live in semi-darkness regarding ancient history? Maybe "having knowledge of everything"? Which is very plausible?...
Good point. And if Socrates actually said exactly that --I'm not always sure about the validity and/or exactness of his sayings as they have survived ...
Yes, this was the dialogue I was taking about. Thanks for bringing this :up: (up)! However, regarding Socrates, I'm not so much interested in his --an...
I said to myself, "What the hell, I might improve my Physics afterall!". So I gave it a try. Well, I believe my Physics were better before that! :grin...
I did. I also read the beginning of the homonymous article at https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/chinese-room/. The operation was successful, but the ...
Very interesting analysis. I had never digged into the subject of body and soul at the time I was reading about Socrates at school. But it was always ...
I think that the idea of having a soul (re: "my soul") contradicts with your nature and alienates you from it, because it creates a relationship betwe...
Another puzzle, perhaps overriding the above, is that humans forget that they create these puzzles themselves and then try to solve them as if they ex...
Interesting. But do you have anything that shows that? Because until now, I have not seen any natural wave/frequency that is discrete. As I already me...
You mean that this is not continuous? https://cdn.britannica.com/46/246-050-7B31B5AE/voltage.jpg?w=300&h=300 Because if you think that this is not act...
The brain is a stimulus-response mechanism, composed of neurons and glia. It has as much "purpose" as any other machine or mechanism. Computer program...

Definition of "analogue": Relating to or using signals or information represented by a continuously variable physical quantity such as spatial positio...
I cannot disagree with the things you say, well, except the main point I made! :smile: The passage I quoted shows clearly that the problem is scientif...
From the aspect that you have Lock considering a problem close to the one about consciousness --because Lock doesn't speak about consciousness per se-...
I can understand this well. What I cannot undestand is how can science --and more specifically, talking about purely scientific subjects-- be so à la ...
I, on the other hand, am not surprised at all. I never attended to so many talks and in such frequency about science in any philosophical forum or com...
Certainly. This is what history, research and logic dictate. BTW, I just found a term for the kind of information you are talking about: biformation. ...
