I really didn't know! I looked it up but got a return in my language. I could see it wasn't what you meant. Brain in vat. Mmmmmm.... :smile:

I have the conviction I'm nothing more than my centralnervoussystemless body. The butterfly tattoe on my left arm is a pretty unchanging essence.

Ah! It's just the spacetime of relativity? The question there is: is time real or do we assign it?

It's a banging universe. Bangs chasing one another. When our bang has reached infinity (big rip), another bangs behind us.

But the major part, especially in the living brain, body, and world, we don't know.

Nut what determines the value of money? The goods produced and services delivered? Trust? Quality?
September 18, 2021 at 17:15
I'm not sure here what it is that quantum physics "recognises. "Potential enetgy sources that are limited to our perspective"? What do you mean by thi...

Einstein was a religious guy. It even inspired his view on quantum mechanics ("der Herr Gott w?rfelt nicht").

"Gödel, Escher, and Bach".Douglass Hofstadter. A bit too computer oriented though. "The Mind'sEye". Don't remember the author.

What's done differently in the US? Are the most billionaires made in the US?

Senor Ponzi entrepeneured well. Got even wicked scemes named after him. Ponzi-fraud.

Do you have Swiss consciousness? Somehow your name sounds Swiss. Like meusli.
September 18, 2021 at 14:26
I think you mean the ones blue blood. Or was it purple? All vicious circles can be broken. No matter how vicious they are.
September 18, 2021 at 14:23
Don't yòu think it's the other way round?
September 18, 2021 at 13:31
I had to read it over carefully a couple of times. To suddenly realize it's beautiful! In particular the last sentence! :up:
September 18, 2021 at 13:09
What about you feeling, percept, your emotions, thoughts, ideas, dreams. You are aware of all. How can this be if all matter were just matter? Devoid ...

Best shit? Excuse me?

Unless the confident person is right about things and the less confident wrong.

What internal motion is meant here? That of an electron?

If panpsychism is real, and I can't see why it's not, then consciousness is eternal. Even death is a kind of consciousness.

Yes! I didn't realize that! Elton is not autistic for sure. He controls the piano as if it is his voice! I haven't seen the movie though. I saw a film...

Are you a 100 years young then? I mean, Piskas has 40. Plus 40 is eighty. Plus about 20 gives 100.
September 18, 2021 at 11:45
Exactly what I thought! There is a kid who drew the whole city view after seeing it from a helicipter!

Only the three B's are needed. And we are just our bodies, without brains!
September 18, 2021 at 11:05
Magritte would disagree. Once lost you can only be refound by the truth. Experimental habitats exist only a few hundred years. If objective existence ...

What decay? Bohr stood at the cradle of QM. That's not a decadent theory. In what sense is the word 'decay' used?
September 18, 2021 at 09:37

What's so bad about being your body (you put an exclamation mark behind your statement that we're not our body!)?
