Before we go any further, what do you think of the idea that perception is a language? It seems to be one; after all, the brain is interpreting the ne...
Red is 750 (nm). The perception of red is merely the eye translating 750 (nm) for the brain. You could, hypothetically, change the perception red, say...
Begging the question. What is red? It's the eye's way of perceiving 750 (nm). It's like a way of looking at something, a perspective if you will. The ...
No problemo. Well, it wouldn't be wrong to say that, necessity is the mother of invention, if a people had no use for math, they wouldn't have ever ad...
Languages maybe mutually unintelligible but nothing new is added in translation from one to another. Joe's knowledge that red is 750 nm, even when he'...
1. Deism: God as creator (of the universe) but who doesn't intervene. 2. Pantheism: All is God. 3. Pandeism: God became one with the universe . 4. Pan...
Indeed, it puzzles me. A certain aspect of reality (quantity) is discovered all over the world almost simultaneously, accepted, fast & furious, by eve...
Same here. I wanted to quote an intellectual giant on the issue but I don't even know where to begin. So, I'll try to convey my thoughts in my own wor...
:chin: You have a point. Mathematics, I wanted to say, is abstractions but so are the words in natural language. Yet, very thought-provoking, is it no...
Interesting! Names are given, requiring a giver and that which is named. Looks like a digression but certainly worth pondering over. We're talking abo...
@"Banno" I believe math is, inter alia, a language. Going by what Israeli-born historian Yuval Noah Harari says in his book Sapiens, the written word ...
Yes, I think so. I'll give you an argument Socrates made. 1. Nothing in our experience is truly, precisely, equal. Everything we encounter around us i...
As I tried to explain with Mary's room thought experiment, redness is just 750 nm (wavelength of red) in eye dialect. Just as you can't claim that you...
About Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems Gödel sentence (G): This (mathematical theorem) is unprovable (within given system) P = G is provable (G has a p...
Schrödinger's cat? A = Axiomatic system of math we're currently using (could be unknown) S = Schrödinger's equation (superposition) C = the cat is bot...

Mary's Room? The question is, does Mary learn anything new? I recall mentioning this before but what is red? Isn't it just our eyes way of perceiving ...
It looked like an interesting lead, you know, how a physical deformity (Erb's palsy) resembles the physical posture one would assume if one were offer...
Well, taking my cue from Socrates, possibly others I'm unaware of, philosophy was/(is still?) an extremely lethal disease. I can't find a reasonable e...
Yours is a very interesting, not to mention profound, perspective indeed but aren't you just playing with the word "God"? I dunno, it feels like you a...
I can't parse how a deity becomes one or merges with the universe? Do you mean like a cyborg, one of the predicted futures of humanity when man and ma...
That third party would be subsumed by the duality it forms with the anti-third party. Every other party you invoke, if you so desire, will again neatl...
Name a thing that doesn't have an anti-thing. Also, what's awareness got to do with dimensions? Can you provide a link that explains this connection b...
Read about it but only very superificially - it basically gives a scientific spin to the Christianity's prophecy of the Second Coming - resurrections ...
You never know, you never know. Have you heard of OOP Art? We can't just reject theories out of hand. Mind you, I'm not trying to make a case for my h...
Now it makes sense. The consonants had a prefix/suffix that was constant. So, for instance k could only be ka and never ke or ku or ki or ko and t cou...
