What's the difference? Both are conscious. Self-consciousness seems even a hindrance for consciousness. What's so special about self-consciousness? Th...

The psychological reality is the awareness.

You mean replacing balls every time? There are few perfectly symmetric objects to throw. The throwing is mostly random, but the falling on a side depe...

If there is no determined free will, there is nobody to hold accountable. So no, it doesn't make sense, for how can you be accountable for something t...

Why can't contradictions be meant?

Seems like all the verticals and horizontals shrink to zero leaving the points of a line. It's an iteration of triangles placed on the diagonal. Each ...

Says the bartender: "Fancy a drink?" Light-heartedly neutrino says: "No thanks, I'm just passing trough!"

The fact that 100 randomicals have their randomic aspects in common, doesn't make them less random. Patterned randomity is still random.

Indeed. Only on a material form, a number can occupy space. It depends on the volume of the material used how much space is occupied. You can use bron...

It depends how the poem is looked at, as all things. A vertical poem seems militant, aggressive, or coming at ya. It won't bow, it's strict and reache...

It are the charges running around massively parallel, and on a virtual infinity of possible paths, on paths of least resistance (by modulated connecti...

You could cut carefully take your brain out, keeping the neural connections and blood flow intact. Then sling your brain around by the bundle of nerve...

How can time have no beginning? There should be initial çonditions to arrive at the present. We already know that matter is not constantly created. Wo...

We don't know the fundamental fields though. How can we read the Babylon Books properly? Cranking up energy? How can physicists be so blind that they ...

That clock ticking on the wall seems pretty real. And it had to start sometime. Time can last forever but it needs a start. Of course it can restart i...

Why is it thought that intelligence is used to maximize, be it offspring, efficiency, survival, or whatever? Does the virus really acts to immortalize...

They are determined not to follow and suffer the resistance anymore. The path they followed in life was one of maximum resistance, not least.

The grandfather paradox. It is whispered that Stephen Hawking secretly visited Einstein, by a private wormhole, to inform him about his theory.
January 05, 2022 at 10:32
Every attempt to formulate randomness leads to a repetition of a previous sequence. Now this has to be the case in every random infinite sequence of n...

Every prime number can be written as 6n+1 or 6n-1. Where do these formulaticals exist in the MU? How does an integral exist? Near a summation? What ab...

I haven't read all you wrote (tl dr?) but I have the feeling you associated consciousness with the EM field. Isn't electric charge a better canditate ...

A sensor is no observer. QM says an observer is a human with the knowledge of QM measuring an outcome in an experiment. This collapses the wavefunctio...

Superposition as used by strict followers of the Copenhagen view are a kind of solipsists too. This view is a direct, but irrefutable outcome of the r...

Is that a bad thing? I think there are a whole lot more materialists. There is no difference between them. Except that materialists claim that conscio...

Somehow, this makes sense. A lot of mathematical forms have an isomorphic material counterpart.

Seems like modern society is never finished. We divide up history according to technological progress and scientific knowledge, and direct the future ...

That's exactly what I say. It's us trying to figure out what history occurs by trying to calculate them all and assign them probabilities according to...

Still, there is a considerable difference between 10 000 stones as written to be thrown while getting 25 000 and 10 000 dollar that is written while 2...

This is exactly what is done in the LAP. Two fixed positions in spacetime. It seems teleological in the sense that a particle seems to know the right ...

That's another question, I think. Is the stomach driven by external will or internal will? All will evolves. Some wills have a lust for power and cons...

Viruses have wills too. The will to enter cells and inject their mRNA into our cells, propagates the little buggers, so their offspring can live. Ther...

The will even needs determinism. Without it it can't be determined. Which doesn't make it unfree or free. The will simply is. We are not subject to na...

That's it! There is will only. I comment determined.

That would be exactly the same. All global systems show decreasing order, and local increments. That just happens. Is the system determined by this la...
