Yeah, I put the extra n in just for you!

Well , if what you type here is true then that's fine. I am merely a member of TPF and I am more science-based than philosophy based so I am an interl...

I don't know your back story Agent Smith but based on some of your postings, you are quite harsh on yourself. You don't need to put yourself down, the...

I think some scientists do develop new tech without thinking too much about its ramifications but not that many (I hope). Why would a human who has le...

Sounds like an equal starting point for all of us then.

:smile: I cant recommend the cosmologist offerings on YouTube highly enough. Time well spent. I find anything from Carl Sagan, Richard Feynmann......a...

I see no point in exchanging viewpoints with you. I don't trust your intentions. I think you are a troll.

Theistic trolls use the roleplay tactic often.

Animals will attack to kill for food/resources or to protect their territory or their young or to gain status within their ranks or if they feel threa...

I just read some of your material based on the link you provide in your profile: http://paxmundi667.com I recommend that members read some of this bef...

Well if you are just here to troll then you would roleplay, wouldn't you. I think you are doing exactly that, roleplay.

Do you think that future life extension and more protection against suffering etc will cause humans to become less territorial, less aggressive toward...

Your poor attempt at mockery of transhumanism is obvious and transparent. Are you a theist? Your musings are a bit too esoteric and irrational for me....

Yeah. I am rarely a fan of important technology pursued and controlled by billionaires. Musk has made a lot of claims about neuralink that have little...

Caesar tried to become an autocratic despot. I applaud those who killed him. Caesar stole the majority of what he 'had.' I hope future transhumans wil...

I agree with you in principle but I think your time frame is off by many thousands of years. What current 'neural link,' tech are you suggesting will ...

No, only teachers appointed by the SQA who have the necessary years of curriculum familiarity and have already been previously been appointed as marke...

A polytheist naming a theist magazine (Jehovah's witnesses) to warn against the atheist viewpoint? Go figure? :rofl:

You are digging your own pit.

I would recommend you watch the youtube debates between Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Matt Dillahunty and others, against promine...

:lol: What can I respond with that does not invoke the supernatural? I can only hope that the coincidences you kindly mention and your own personal kn...

:up:

Very true. You get a lot of gifted amateurs as well. It's the same on all discussion websites, you have to trust what people type to an extent. I thin...

Rovelli has a lot of YouTube offerings, all of them are worth a viewing imo. I think it's hard to argue against his point about the 'now' aspect of ti...

I don't mind that you get up again. YOU have to live in the skin YOU are in.

:rofl: :down: :down: :down: :down:

Yeah, another to add to the many many such short dramatisations in existence. Poorly chosen phrases such as "the monster computing machines," suggest ...

My projections of future transhumanism are based on current technological progress. Your unconvincing claims that you are a genuine polytheist has bee...

I did not read Krauss, I listened to him narrate one of his audiobooks. I listen to audiobooks often before I fall asleep. Sleep happens regardless of...

Fair enough. Ok I see what you mean by 'extract textures from our minds.' You mean to extract the actual experience and pass it to someone else. But I...

Perhaps you could have a quick look at my thread titled 'The Penrose Bounce.' I cant be bothered repeating here what I typed there in response to your...

I like Christopher Hitchen's response to this. Firstly he recommends reading the Laurence Krauss book on the subject of something from nothing and the...

Carlos Rovelli is one of the most respected proponents of loop quantum gravity. Have you watched his youtube offerings on time such as: https://youtu....

I think time is a measure but I also think it's a measure of motion from the standpoint of 'the duration of an event.' I think the view of reality for...

Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to contribute. It's always better to hear about the use of infinities in mathematics from those who really kn...

Not at all! It's nice that you wanted to see if you could assist us. I am away to watch some episodes of Star Trek Discovery series 3!!

:smile: Yes but I don't see our exchanges as a battle. We should be able to 'dig' each other within the 'guidelines of debate.' I think we do that qui...

Thank you for your comment but Haglund and I remain friends and our dialogue is free and fair with no malice intended or taken. I enjoy debating with ...

You sound desperate and at war with yourself.

Ok, perhaps your gods will one day take you there instantly. Thanks for the exchange!

I have watched all of the late Christopher Hitches offerings on YouTube many times and he had little difficulty in swatting his theistic opponents in ...

Yeah well, that might take us more time than the lifespan of our Universe.

But perhaps it doesn't, perhaps there are no real straight lines in a curved Universe.

I agree. My coordinates for your gods are not in this Universe either! So does that mean they don't exist just because you cant observe or detect the ...

Ever ran around in a circle? If you had your energy replenished as you ran and your leg muscles were indefatigable then you would pass the same points...

We will never know if something exists or not if we will never have any way to detect it. Here is my coordinate system that indicate where your gods l...

From the physics stack exchange: Electrons on the other hand, do have rest mass. It is very confusing when somebody learns about rest mass and thinks ...

evidence?

No, they are not observable! It's like the cookie dough example. The TOTALITY of the dough cannot expand if it is infinite but individual regions with...

Again from wikipedia: In special relativity, the rest frame of a particle is the coordinate system (frame of reference) in which the particle is at re...
