:100: I see it like a fuzzy sphere that can vibrate and take all kinds of forms. That fuzzy sphere contains mental stuff and around the sphere is mate...

Now why is that? Why shouldn't it be possible to see nature like it is? Why should nature hold secrets? The very idea of one and only reality goes way...

I do. Mass ingested by a black hole is instantly radiated outward by Hawking radiation. From the outside this can take billions of years. All matter i...

I think the ego is neither material neither mental. It lies at the boundary between them. So in a way it's both. Strange loops I see! :joke:

The image is not the ego indeed. If I think about myself I don't see myself like I see other people. I think about situations as I saw them when I did...

It could be though that time is an illusion and the universe is one static entity, infinite in static time and space. The block universe contains non-...

Yes. They frequently use them to self enjoy. The human brain is used as place where conception takes place and the environment of the robotics corpora...

It strikes me why not more money is invested in fusion. It's the solution to all energy problems, and the only waste is helium to make us quak like du...

That's the question. After interacting, particle trajectories still evolve in 4d spacetime. Wavering out into space and running towards one momentum, ...

You will have burned your mass in a flash. You cant get 2kg of matter out of one.The amount of mass is finite. If 2kg fission material can be created ...

If one kg fission material could produce 2kg of it and this is used again for energy, your input is exponential, as well as your output. Which effecti...

It's just a linear growth model.

That would be very handy indeed. Effectively, you use all fissile particles to release their energy of which some is used to create them. The number i...

Popper was about to get his medal from the queen. With a smiling face he approached her to receive his royal title. Then roaring stumble was heard and...

Interesting! I'm not sure why it shouldn't always leave a trace though. Or potentially at least. After a particle has left a trace in a cloud chamber,...

I think you refer to the pyrotechnic universe. Two branes repeatedly closing in causing big bangs on both. Finite energy each time, but increasing the...

The very ultimate form of enlightenment is the realization that one's own worldview, objectively true as it might be, is just one amongst many, with t...

Q You consider the ego as a mental thing. I don't. The ego is the body mediating between the non-physical mind and the physical world. So the ego is c...

If I look at you it's your body that I see. Dressed and spectacled but that's who I think you are. You experience more or less the same as me, act, ha...

I had the impression you called the I (so me too) a confabulation.

Plato enters his mathematical heaven when dead. In ecstasy he contemplates the final unification with his Platonic bodies. When cooled down, he buys a...

So the particles in it are in the other realm?

And the screen itself? As we see it in the other world too?

As a side note, the Higgs mechanism is an outwordly mechanism in the sense that it exists in the outworldly realm of the mind. Higgs' Mexican Hat was ...

For self reference there has to be a self in the first place. The first self is the body. Telling you that I did something is just mentally conveying ...

I don't think it's a metaphor. It's a literal loop. Of thoughts or brain structures. A thought about a thought about a thought. Nested thoughts. Neste...

I don't think this is what strange loops are. How can a conception go out in the world? It's the conception that loops internally. The conception conc...

Then what about the screen with the spot? The effect of measuring on a particle as Heisenberg exemplified, is a literal disturbance. This is not the k...

The brain is simply incapable of total self reflection. You can reflect your finger, your eye, your whole front (your back is harder) your visual syst...

In a sense yes. I like knowledge but you can overrate it. I don't litterally mean to much knowledge but the over evaluation of it make people want to ...

But it can sense other brains by taking looking at them from the outside in other people. Or taking them out of bodies and touching them. Working brai...

Pointing at failures of others to read what you wrote ("if you would have read what I wrote"...) merely point at the inability in the west to communuc...

Maybe it's the dualistic approach while adhering to one reality as a measure for all. Yes, the yellow jackets. Burn la Bastille!

It's obviously 5, showing the complete equality between sharing and multi. Muli normally is first in the row, following powering. So 1.

Pure poetry! "I am the sea all fish swim in, the cosmos that contains you all"...What state of mind one must have to live that life? :smile:

Are there conditions on the things we can choose to life in? Should they be self contained (so not a galaxy for example, which comprises all kinds of ...

The tree still exists. But not in colors and shape and felt structure. Like the sound of thunder is still there if no one hears it. Our dependence is ...

Sounds reasonable. But choosing a car already presupposes a body. I don't think we can exist independently of the body and the world in and outside us...

How can you choose which body to be in if you are that body?

That's exactly what I meant by increasing linearly in the exponential.

Brute and wild... The problem with structured materialistic explanations is that they take out consciousness firstly and then try to put it back in th...

.The point is, there is a limited amount involved. But why should the ones not involved would not be able to support life? Pointing out that they are ...

I like the Monk quotation! "It's always night, or we wouldn't need light". Funny! Vague notions come closest. Reality is like a mist in which shadows ...

:smile: Still, you must have some belief of what exists surely for you. Even when you are not around anymore. Some rock-solid belif. Well, you "must" ...

Fairly close. I could say you are wrong though. But only if we share the same reality. You could be wrong.

We're drifting of here...

Dendrochronological. What a nice word! Expresses nicely how I feel.

I recall now. The baobab 6000 years old!

Good old Hendrick Lovely not? Dutch skating. On friese doorlopers. Fun in hard times. People were happy though, I guess.
