How about taking away a piece of you material brain? It takes away a piece of mind too.

Which goes to show that the mind-world is number one for you. I indeed see the mind as having the sex of the body.

No you're not. You are your body and have a brain.

If she turned into male one morning, then her mind would still be female. I see her mind in relation to my (then former) wife. As such, I will try to ...

The very fact that she posses it. I'm pretty sure she's a female. Even if she pretends to be a woman. Then her mind is a pretended female mind.

Imaginary? She's pretty real, let me tell you! Besides, why can't Imaginary people have minds?

The mind that my wife has.

I know a female mind! She just entered with a bag of groceries. The number 3 next door? She's walking on the other side of town. LA woman is giving he...

That's what you think. I guess you are in love with the mind. And who says minds have no sexes?

Precisely!

How do you know?

You don't decide anything. The gods are there. For me there are many, for some there might be one, for others they don't exist at all.

It's not a complementary opposite. It's no complement at all. It's the lacking of symmetry or its complement. If we examine symmetry and it's compleme...

It's not decidable. It depends on how you view God or the gods.

I just asked what you meant. What you mean by "unless it's in the office"? God just can't do things that can't be done. He's omnipotent in the sense t...

Unless you don't understand the question.

When reality is at home?

No. They are omnipotent within the realm of what's possible.

I have exactly the opposite attitude.

How does this explain the beauty of my dog jumping up out of a dark ultramarine moonlit blanket of low mist?

I have them. If I see the painting (be it for real or not, I'm not a fetishist) I get the feeling of giving her a wake-up slam in the face, to make he...

You mean Mona? No, I haven't actually seen her. And luckily. Spared me money for the entrance ticket.

Beautifull sculpture. Looks like the thinker has done a bit too much thinking. It's a thin line between beauty and ugliness. Maybe there is not even a...

No, I didn't, but you make it appear as if it's a rational number, while in fact every constant can be given as its inverse (1/...). True, it's the on...

Sitting in a chair, beneath a soft-toned lamp, makes me appreciate van Gogh more than looking at his paintings in the museum. I get more vitality from...

And the religious fanatics says: atheists would be radically reduced. Like I said, immortality is a fairytale.

It isn't. An ugly scene can do just the same. Even more maybe.

I don't mean the physical difference. I know how dear Mona looks like without ever having seen the painting myself. I can't imagine bursting into tear...

All matter in the universe eventually accelerates away from each other, making the foundation of life impossible. On top of that, life can only develo...

In short, where did God got their morals from? They were just there, in the spacetime- and matter-free glorious and shining realm of their holy and un...

If you know how the universe works, to the fundamental level of spacetime and the truly basic matter fields in it, if a scientists like Dawkins declar...

Are there non-truly conscious people (apart from my wife)?

So you think when science has reached there, God is no more an open issue? How can science ever close that issue?

Is there a difference between seeing a painting in person, or from a picture book?

I was thinking exactly the same! :lol:

Sorry! Wanted to comment and accidentally pushed the place-button. Allright. A deeper realization of morals and the reason for it while living in a so...

Then he must be a phenomenal zombie with phenomenal experience.

Clearly, there is something wrong with you. When I see Mona, the only thing I want is to run away as fast as possible and release a dump. She is ugly ...

WTF are ybags (I'm not America, speaking of which, I just woke up from a terrible dream; election time in America and Trump was making a big chance,,,...

Science, pseudo-science... It belongs all to the same heap. The pseudo of today becomes the celebrated tomorrow.

How many times my mum said that! "So it goes". That's just the way it is. And we can do nothing about it. Everyone can do something about it. The grip...

This suggests an absolute truth, equal for all. Equal in some relevant way? What on Earth are you talking about?

Same holds for me. I don't expect science to go away. I don't take it very seriously though (but many seem so) If it helps my mum with her backpack, A...

Damned! Sounds like the inquisition! Inferior ideas? What are these? Who are the so often quoted peers that review? They are people too. Who says thei...

What evidence for what truth are you talking about?

Strange assumption.

Wisdom to write on a tile and hang it proudly on your living room wall. The same wisdom can be applied to the world of ideas and various realities tha...

Why not? Distrust?

Now here I fully agree. It would be quite frustrating if airplanes would suddenly open up underneath, hough parachutes could be helpful here. If their...

Yeah! Man, I get so tired sometimes if I see how that endless pursuit of scientific, so-called objective knowledge, is emphasized and propagated by ou...
