My question was addressed to @Michael Zwingli, who said "some memory seems to be stored in cells/tissues outside of the brain, in other parts of the b...

This sounds like feeling pity for me for not being able to understand it ... But I guess you actually mean, "Sorry I didn't explain that well" or some...
August 31, 2021 at 08:32
Aren't these two statements-positions in conflict? What part of the memory this is? Where is the remaining memory? You don't mention anything else abo...
August 30, 2021 at 17:17
I'm very certain about this! :smile:
August 30, 2021 at 16:04
OK, we have resolved this.
August 30, 2021 at 16:03
Thanks. :smile: I can see why I couldn't connect your comment to something I said. It's because it referred to the above quotation, which I used from ...
August 30, 2021 at 16:01
Thank you for your response to the topic. But I have first to "study" your long post before replying to you. :smile: I will do that soon, after respon...
August 30, 2021 at 15:41
OK, this explains it! :smile: (But still, it was addressed to @Cheshire! :grin:)
August 30, 2021 at 15:36
That TFP notified you about a post that mentioned your name, when your name wasn't in that post. (This is how I personally respond to comments, from T...
August 30, 2021 at 15:32
The spirit (soul), YOU, yourself, an awareness unit that is aware of being aware. None of these can be identified with the brain, a network of neurons...
August 30, 2021 at 15:17
No, to @Cheshire. His name is mentioned in my comment ... Has TFP lost control?
August 30, 2021 at 14:46
This is not adressed to me but I take it as a response to the topic. So, thank you. Re "The mind thinks": OK, but is the mind the brain or something e...
August 30, 2021 at 10:30
I don't know or can understand what does this mean. Should I study monism or something? So, you assume that based on a previous assumption (which you ...
August 30, 2021 at 09:42
I think it was very clear from my description of the topic that I am a non-brainist. Not only my description was based on that element, but I also dec...
August 30, 2021 at 08:59
Well, I did that, but I finally have not included "consciousness" in my position, for not complicating things. Yet, I have included two quotations ref...

I have ended my topic with the question: "What is thinking, how thought is created and where does it take place?". The description of the topic was al...
August 30, 2021 at 08:20
Can you please also bring in my quote that you are referring to? Thanks. (Except of course if your commnet is not actually addressed to me.)
August 30, 2021 at 07:49
Thanks for your response. A lot more should be included! :grin: I agree. I have read Nietzsche (extensively) quite a long time ago, so it is useless t...
August 29, 2021 at 17:07
"Random stuff"? Is this what research means to you? You must better look up the word "research". Well, I will make it easier to you: Research is "crea...

August 29, 2021 at 10:22
As for "has not", I have already presented a documenation about what is generally known by Science on the subejct of thought. (So, if you have actuall...
August 29, 2021 at 10:20
OK, but have you thought involutarily of writing this and what exactly to write about? I certainly haven't! :smile:
August 29, 2021 at 10:04
Thank you for your response. This reminds me of quantum phyiscs ... However, I don't think that the uncertainty principle is actually the problem. Mor...
August 29, 2021 at 09:58
Thank you for your response. "You are not the brain" sounds quite familar. In fact, I was teaching that in a philosophical institute quite a long ago....
August 29, 2021 at 09:39
Thank you for your response. Like the Phineas Cage case! Not much of a progress, is there? :smile: But I don't have to tamper the brain to produce bod...
August 29, 2021 at 08:28
Does this mean that you have in mind some kind of memory other than "brain memory"? Then, isn't this too mechanical and extremely simplistic an experi...
August 29, 2021 at 08:14
Thank you for your response. Remembering a birthday, and where an information is containded refers to memory. So this would be another topic. e.g. "Wh...
August 29, 2021 at 08:02
Thank you for your response. Thinking for a "best candidate" is how, as I said, scientists most probably think about thought (as well as consciousnes,...
August 29, 2021 at 07:46
Thank you for your response. You are right about my not answering the question. But, as I already replied on this: I have already indicated these "obs...
August 29, 2021 at 07:19
Thank you. :smile: I am very glad to read this quite original (for me) view on the subject! Very interesting, really! :up:
August 29, 2021 at 07:00
Thank you for your response. Just a note: I have changed the word "who" to "what" as more approriate. (I used word "who" by bias and habit.) Re "think...
August 29, 2021 at 06:41
Thanks. I was expecting someone to say that! :smile: (Although I believe that it must be interesting for most of us in here ...) Yes, I know. This sub...
August 29, 2021 at 06:20
Thank you for your response. Yes, I know, I thought about this later and I corrected it. In fact my choice of the word "who" was biased, it has to do ...
August 29, 2021 at 05:42
Correct. One more reason why Socrates wouldn't have ever said something like that is that his arguments were always very clear and his critical thinki...
August 27, 2021 at 15:43
I mentioned two references from known and standard souces. I also added that this is too old and we can never really know if it has been said or not. ...
August 27, 2021 at 06:56
"'I know that I know nothing' is a saying derived from Plato's account of the Greek philosopher Socrates. It is also called the Socratic paradox. The ...

Hi! I have responded to your topic --you asked "What are your thoughts?"-- but I I have not received a response from you ... https://thephilosophyforu...

What kind and who's reality this is? Re "the view when looking": What kind of view this is? A view mainly means the ability to and action of seeing so...
August 26, 2021 at 08:42
Do you ask it the reality that I have in my mind about a tree I am just observing also exists as such in the physical universe? How can that be? One i...
August 26, 2021 at 06:32
"But" is good! It is actually essential in philosophical discussions! :smile: Exactly. Yes, "physical realities". But always individual realities, i.e...
August 25, 2021 at 18:12
By "realities", do you maybe mean "physical universes" (worlds)? Because "realities" refer (among other things) to people's view of the physical unive...
August 25, 2021 at 16:57
I agree. Please do.
August 25, 2021 at 15:13
Please make an effort to actually read the reference (i.e. more than its sub-reference) at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer again. Then t...
August 25, 2021 at 15:08
The existence of analogue computers is already established a few times in this thread! This is one more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_computer
August 25, 2021 at 14:47
Yes, we can say that.
August 24, 2021 at 17:54
It is very good that you brought up definitions of both. Few do, even if the terms in most of the topics shout for their (own) definitions! :smile: No...
August 24, 2021 at 17:39
I am glad I have inspire you! :smile: And I see that you are knowledgable in the AI field! However, although there is some parallel between ANNs and t...
August 24, 2021 at 16:48
OK, maybe you mean this:"An analog computer or analogue computer is a type of computer that uses the continuously variable aspects of physical phenome...
