If not the body, then who are you? It's who I see in the water. It's what other people see of me. The brainy mental universe and the physical one arou...

Defending solipsism? I defended the guy. I'm not a solipsist.

I don't think it's about metric component values only, if this is what he means by numerical laws. The numbers are not primary but secondary. Associat...

It is in my view. Only the internal world of the brain creates the consciousness we experience. Of course there is interaction with the physical world...

But the content of your brain, with which you are in direct contact internally, is. The content of your brain, structured electric charges running aro...

Ego-death, self reflection, representations of the self, self consciousness, self referential strange loops... What's the big deal about the self? Do ...

Living without an image of yourself how you should be leads to ego death. Living like you feel makes the mental image of yourself disappear and you ar...

Damn you Agent! How come you make me laugh every time? :razz:
January 14, 2022 at 23:06
Indeed, I fully agree. No one has even started to explain what time is before proving it wrong or wright. You seem to be the only one who made an atte...

You think you can represent a universe by a real number, the most non-real number of all (apart from the hyper reals)? A continuum can't be broken up ...

Then how long did it take before you came up with this fantastic idea? If you can't tell me the answer you are wrong. Then time is not real.

There is one scientific imperative that brings disaster and natural chaos. The scientific imperative of growth. According to the second law of TD entr...

That's exactly what he not did. Gravity is no force.
January 14, 2022 at 21:58
Can you elaborate on that? For example, why can't a circle exists in 2d?
January 14, 2022 at 21:56
Why are these pictures misleading? The only thing that's misleading are gravity used for the pulling in and applying 2d for 3d. A 3d space curved in 4...

The judgement being that you're disobedient to the imperative. The sick man must, in the name of truth, know the truth.
January 14, 2022 at 21:47
If the imperative says to always tell the truth, shouldn't he obey? He thinks you should always tell the truth so the answer should be yes. He can sta...
January 14, 2022 at 21:15
It can be explained as a variation in gravity strength also so not real matter. Do you have a preference?
January 14, 2022 at 20:53
If the imperative says to tell the truth he should answer that you tell the truth to the poor man. He can also remain silent. He doesn't lie then.

The real perfect reversible clock at the singularity (when the irreversible didn't exist yet) doesn’t need a first cause. Causes are radiating from it...

I mean, what's the value? Is it to be found? Ah! It factors integers. All clear.

What means the n in modn? The n in the xn? What is the goal of the method?

Panta rea. Still when compared in different frames time is very real. We can say that some processes are ahead in time compared to others. If an irrev...

How can consciousness combine two perspectives if it's contained in one of them? If the inner view sees consciousness isn't the view combining the inn...

Why do you think dark matter speculation is specious? What's space? What's it's nature? Good question. It seems that in between matter. It can be the ...

This is the first bang, followed by the hot bang. What's wrong with it? Where it says stars are 20 billion years old? Do you have a link?

Deontology is an ethical theory that says actions are good or bad according to a clear set of rules. Kant is a deontologist. He has Kantian rules of c...

Why should a democracy be a way of live and social organization above all others? Why shouldn't other forms of life be sensitive to the dignity and wo...

Well, the charge is "stuff" inside matter. It doesn't resemble matter, so it's non-material "stuff".
January 14, 2022 at 13:59
I have to stand up for the agent here. Mind is contained in the brain, but it is no thing. Like charge is contained in matter, mind in contained in br...

But what if it has length only? Front and back are symmetric then, like the 2 facing 1 or 3. How do you involve complex numbers here? I'm not sure I u...

Flat spacers like flat Earthers, yes! There is evidence for global space being closed. Space beyond the horizon doesn’t necessarily continue to infini...

It depends on how you mirror the 2. You can mirror it with a mirror perpendicular to the 2. Then the mirror image of 2 and the 2 are symmetric wrt eac...

Again you made me laugh Agent! How much do I owe you? Did you know people, after wearing upside-down glasses for a while, see everything normal again?
January 14, 2022 at 12:02
Same holds for the people they created! In their own image!

Are you in "Glasga"? Scotland appeals to the imagination! I saw "Trainspotting". But that was Edinborough. That Spud character made me laugh. O man, I...

Science and politics are conflated. In fact, state and Science these days show exactly the same relation as God and society did once. It's taught in s...

I can't make anything of this. The first thing I thought: hey! Quarks as composed of 3 subs. Like I think. What he means though is that each quark is ...

I don't think he means to discover Zeus in the lightning... How are you so sure the gods don't exist?

Yeah... words as small doses of poison. Little by little the "truth" is established. Like the scientific view...
