We can't be located in the brain, as the body is located in the outer world. Even if you said "I am my brain" you still wouldn't be saying "I'm in my ...
Are we dealing with a lack of anything? I would argue that... Well, first I would argue that everything is living, but barring that...the lives of the...
Some people just can't accept that it's a mystery, a dead space of reason, pure illogic underlying everything. But we must. We must embrace mystery an...
Agree completely. Probabilistic notions maybe especially...contrived formulas for Platonic, as you put it, "realities" that are neither here nor there...
I don't know, but I steadfastly refuse to believe time comes in literal bite-sized intervals... That doesn't make sense on so many levels. My intuitio...
I feel like the brain generates thought as a qualitative result of direct communication with the environment. It practices thought, and can generate l...
I think he said he knew nothing to elevate the self-esteem of the people he spoke with. He would allow them to pontificate to "a fool" so that they th...
Sorry, the button for "reply" is too small on my screen. There could be infinite, separate dimensions of time, all moving in discrete directions. That...
Agnosticism is greater, because it's acceptable that one may be disinterested in the existence of God. Theism is acceptable, as it's wholly acceptable...
All premises revolving around a limited framework of linear time, they're fundamentally gobbledygook. It isn't sensible to speak in terms of before an...
You're gonna have a hard time proving things could occur that never do occur. Technically, only events which do occur were ever possible. It's easy to...
In order to explain consciousness, which seems to require Time in which to exist, one must explain Time itself. It isn't enough even to find that neur...
Over my head. My propensity is to see things in black and white, that it's not possible to imagine anything completely impossible, technically speakin...
We can if we want -- there's nothing that absolutely forces us to, however. There can be doubt, philosophically, that we even truly know we have brain...
Oh neat. I wouldn't say it is that, either. Scientifically, it's really something we're still trying to understand. You don't have to believe it was G...
I'm against the whole taking the Bible absolutely literally thing. God never was the property of man. There are things I choose to believe God is, but...
To enable richer diversity in thought, we really should rely on the term "seems to" more often. The Universe seems to have begun to expand exponential...
The Big Bang began as a theological concept. There's nothing about the Big Bang that is exclusive of God. There's nothing about the "Big Bang" (which ...
Absolutely, but it goes way beyond Biden. Social media itself is a way to monopolize speech. Notice the decline of internet forums like these and the ...
The thing outside of itself is actually very natural to us. We are the thing (persons) living in a universe (outside). We are "the thing" outside of i...
New to this convo., but I only see God as needing replacement with another name for the same thing. Try "Omnimax." A lot has been attached to God that...
I feel it's a vaccine for something that's going to mutate, and that we should be developing a natural immunity to. I think it's creating a virus that...
I think the answer is that the universe is really self-sufficient. God or the universe is really chicken or egg, though, and doesn't matter. It's all ...
Which is totally irrelevant anyway, as I'm speaking of truth in terms of things that exist, and falsehoods in terms of things that don't. Nonsense, ev...
What are you rolling your eyes at, dude? What I said is absolutely accurate. Even if it's just the state of affairs that the baby is mimicking someone...
Words don't carry such weight that they can create non-realities. Objectively speaking, the details are irrelevant. Everything that exists is real and...
The idea that nonsense can't possibly be known to be false or true is itself nonsense. All language, even baby talk, refers to some state of affairs. ...
You are a soul. Our lack of perspective is what creates the confusion. Stop seeing the past as dead and gone, but a living thing. All time coexists si...
It might have something to do with the fact that language creates a perceived identity within, while the truth is not only are we "in" the mind, but w...
I'm not sure what you mean. Nonsense is just another word for something that is untrue, and God could possibly know if something deemed "nonsense" is ...
Totally. I've had a really rough life, and I don't really believe in fault and blame. I'm a forty year-old virgin, in fact, and my name is Andy. lol A...
I agree completely, but not everyone was born with the gift of logic like you or I. Inceldom is a knee-jerk reaction. I can just see why it's happenin...
Good question, there's essentially no way of telling. The brain both could and may not see itself accurately. Obviously, it's impossible to tell by us...
To their defense, women are recklessly and needlessly cruel to those with mental problems or general insecurities. It goes beyond just it being their ...
It can't, logically, ultimately be explained, because first and foremost it is experienced. In addition to that, there's no possible way of determinin...
In a sense, the Earth is both flat and round. On the surface of any sphere, there are flat (at least reasonably speaking) areas. If you're standing on...
I dunno. I think "I am that I am" is ultimately more profound than "I think, therefore I am." For one thing, I occasionally just stare, and I still AM...
