Hi! Interesting concept. I would like to challenge two of your assumptions. 1. Thought machines reading the state of the relevant physical world. Here...

Not pretending to throw light on the truth, but just merely adding another trivia, another factual observation that might be of interest for this topi...

Still a lot of thinking needs to be done, and the phenomena are complex, psychologically. But the fact that the audience fled means that the audience ...

The restrictions are not too strict. But the level of consciousness is way down. Participation is up, though. Which means fewer and fewer smart people...

Sir, you are being too Rich.

I am actually several typewriters, who hit the fingers of so many monkeys. The monkeys say these "jokes" involuntarily, therefore, with a lot of hissi...

This witz has no schlitz... it has a switch instead. , "what was the year before creation? "Year -1. Or 1 BC," Says the priest. "And the year before t...

The Demonic Cantor and Kant or Socrates are counting towards infinity. Cantor takes the odd numbers, Kant or Socrates, the even numbers. In walks Scho...

There were three numbers in a row. One of them's kidding. He is now on skid row. (Traditional:) Why did six cry? Seven, eight, nine. How many numbers ...

Thanks for displaying a low IQ level. Now I know how you are able to cling to your false belief. I told you that laws know nothing, and yet you insist...
October 07, 2017 at 06:41
Natural laws are not all-powerful. The meaning of "omnipotent". You also said natural laws are omniscient. A law is not a sentient being that can know...

Ah, perish the thought!! Anything goes in love, war, philosophy and humour.

Where do you get this cheap crap? that I need to worship anything? And that God = deterministic universe according to the Calvinist faith? I get insul...

A little. I basically can't be too concerned about all this, since I'm an atheist. I can't even remember now how I was pulled into this thread. But YO...

Oh, here's one, I am surprised nobody has said it yet. "To do is to be." Socrates. "To be is to do." Jean-Paul Sartre. "Dobedobedo." Frank Sinatra.

Two guys are lost on a hunting trip... they had been separated from their group. They wonder aimlessly, night is falling, they come upon a hut in the ...
October 06, 2017 at 08:56
Your ensuing reasoning is solid, and acceptable. It reminds one of the prisoners' dilemma, but is more general, and with a more wide-spread applicabil...

How many philosophers does it take to change a light bulb? Any number. They just have to argue about it until finally the light goes up.

What's the difference between a sparrow? Both of his wings resemble each other, esp. the left one.

I am sorry, but I'm actually thinking of a Woody Allen movie, in which he talks to his dead father in the netherworld, who says to Woody, "son, get me...
October 06, 2017 at 04:47
I disagree. I think the language sharply differentiates with different words between different concepts. If "natural" can be called "supernatural", as...
October 06, 2017 at 04:39
According to you, Rich, the natural is supernatural. For the record, I disagree. But do carry on. Your pseudo-intellectual antics are now starting to ...

A merciful and nice god of the Jewish faith is completely mute. There is no afterlife in the Jewish faith tradition, no hell, no heaven, so the only t...
October 05, 2017 at 16:19
Rich, you do not understand logic. Causality and determinism go hand-in-hand. If you can't accept that, I can accept your inability to do so. That's t...
October 04, 2017 at 19:13
That may be your own personal interpretation, but your opinion is false.
October 04, 2017 at 19:11
Human knowledge of the future states of the world is probabilistic. But the world itself, its future states, is determined by its past, via a chain of...
October 04, 2017 at 19:08
Determinism is not a religion. It is not, because it does not derive from some supernatural authority. You are mixing up faith with religion. Big mist...
October 04, 2017 at 19:06
No,even in principle that is not possible. ESPECIALLY not in principle.
October 04, 2017 at 19:06
If determininsm was false, then the world would be non-causal. If the world were non-causal, then the rules and laws of QM could not be drawn up. The ...
October 04, 2017 at 19:04
The universe is either causal, or not. This is something you have to accept by, for instance, faith. Once you decided the universe is causal, then it ...

Hachem, how can you not recognize criticism enveloped in a sardonic comparison of your opinion with established truths? Of course I did not agree with...
October 04, 2017 at 18:49
taken out of context, any proposition can be falsified. My point is meaningless without the context I put it in. You don't have the right to take it o...
October 04, 2017 at 18:46
You believe that? Everyone has the right to his or her own false beliefs. You have yours. If you did some research, what I presented has much support ...

Measuring sticks are not objective scientific instruments, but are devices whose results can only be interpreted within the framework of distances. Me...

If God does not exist, then you CAN'T imagine a thing greater than god. For a comparison in real terms, both comparands must exist. So you can't imagi...

You do not take just everything you want from everyone every moment, and you dont' do the other things you question why ought not be doing them, becau...

Bit of a self-contradictory wish. If the universe is indeterministic, then the cause-effect chain is ineffective. Control does need cause-effect chain...

I did not read the PDF. However, I believe I have valuable advice to share with you. True things that dictate opposite action can co-exist either in t...

I decided to close the argument at a point that we can both claim victory. If you don't like that, we can continue, but basically I find it pointless ...

Wow. Hold on. The words of the Bible do not change. Do you mean to say that previous interpretations were wrong, or that the interpretations were righ...

There you go. 8-)

Fair enough. What about being judged by a ruler in the afterlife who has not communicated his or her objectives to you, in fact, mislead you, and what...

You implied that you did. You asked me if I could do a better job. That's a loaded question, not merely a simple inquiry.
