It doesn't exist. It is a projection from my brain being produced from stored memory data in the hippocampus.
February 15, 2022 at 01:26
No.
February 15, 2022 at 01:17
Yes. However, depending on how I wish to imagine this apple, it can change color, or shape, or species at will.
February 15, 2022 at 01:14
You're too gone, dude. That article was specifically disagreeing with you. Data comes from sensory data of the material world. That's where the corres...
February 15, 2022 at 01:12
But, they only appear in your brain. How is that existing outside of your brain?
February 15, 2022 at 00:48
Hey, you're not going to get any pushback on that from me. There's still so much that is a mystery as far as topics of this nature. It's just, when yo...
February 15, 2022 at 00:44
That's right. We have a disagreement. You believe thoughts are real, and I know they are imaginary. In fact, they're the definition of imaginary. Lot'...
February 15, 2022 at 00:34
Can I smack you in the face with an imaginary book?
February 15, 2022 at 00:10
They do not exist. They are data formulations produced by the brain. The brain is the source of all thoughts, which remain exclusively within the indi...
February 15, 2022 at 00:09
That is describing a particular philosophy, not an accurate description of the term 'reductionism' in proper usage. I am not a reductive physicalist, ...

Yes, multiple factors go into the brain being able to make the heart do its job, but it is in fact the brain doing so. Then we agree. Yes, the ENS doe...

Being: existence Thoughts don't exist, the brain does.
February 14, 2022 at 23:54
That's not what I said. Creatures are objects. Rational abstractions come from sensory date of the objective world. Numbers do no exists, they are hum...
February 14, 2022 at 23:52
Which one of these definitions do you think includes imagination?
February 14, 2022 at 23:26
No, my accurate description of the complex reality in question includes them as projections of a real brain that can produce abstractions from real da...

All incorrect, or irrelevant. See articles I posted for more information.
February 14, 2022 at 20:12
These are individual parts of the body, all of which is dependent on the regulation provided by the brain. No, the heart does not beat without the bra...
February 14, 2022 at 20:11
From your article: "most physicists would agree with Krauss and Tyson that observation is the only reliable source of knowledge about the natural worl...
February 14, 2022 at 19:48
Nope. Not what that means: reductionism: the practice of analyzing and describing a complex phenomenon in terms of phenomena that are held to represen...
February 14, 2022 at 18:27
That is exactly correct, you've discovered it. Bravo, you're the first. To make the case that reality is not material, or that it even has non-materia...
February 14, 2022 at 18:24
Yes. Yes. The brain regulates it entirely. Nothing else to it. It beats because they brain tells it to. That is, as far as is known in cognitive neuro...
February 14, 2022 at 17:00
If sight, or "products" of the brain cannot be separated from the brain, then yes its "products" are an element of itself. The brain is responsible fo...
February 14, 2022 at 16:57
And if he did, he was wrong. It didn't exist, he imagined it. A reduction would require it to be something less complex than what you're describing. T...
February 14, 2022 at 16:45
I said extant. That's not extant, that's imagined.
February 14, 2022 at 16:40
hehaha
February 14, 2022 at 04:57
Yep, the moment I walk up, they fall down.
February 14, 2022 at 04:54
This is just more of you embarrassing yourself. There is nothing true about this statement whatsoever. You have been dispensed with, guy. Move on.
February 14, 2022 at 04:08
You've been dispensed with, embarrassingly so, move on to something else.
February 14, 2022 at 03:41
I knew your pathetic attempt to fight reality would only lead you to offer up insults like a coward. Coward, another concept, much like occupying spac...
February 14, 2022 at 02:46
Yes, I will shoot down every fake argment you present against reality. It would be wise of you to "stick with your plan."
February 14, 2022 at 02:27
No, it is requisite to perform the action. Nothing to do with sufficiency.
February 14, 2022 at 01:58
An argument from ignorance does not negate physical reality. Not understanding how subatomic PARTICLES, that's material, operate, in absolutely no way...
February 14, 2022 at 01:39
The people of Hiroshima don't share your opinion, neither does science, and neither does that definition. In general does not imply conceptual, you ju...
February 14, 2022 at 01:28
You poor fool... I'm the only one of the two of us that has said anything scientific all day long. But, you go ahead and keep insulting me because you...
February 14, 2022 at 00:48
Reality is real, Janus. Not accepting the facts of science is what is dogmatic.
February 14, 2022 at 00:33
No, they are made by brains and interpreted by brains. That's the material realm. With their brain. Writing is a physical action, interpreting is a ph...
February 14, 2022 at 00:23
If you don't understand the law of identity A=A is a tautology, or that valid propositions when arranged in truth tables are tautological, you are not...
February 14, 2022 at 00:18
Incorrect usage is a support for your claim, and not the actual definitions of the words? Okay... Where's the irony? No, I was moving on from it becau...
February 14, 2022 at 00:08
All valid arguments and facts of identity are tautological in nature. It's you're first clue something is correct, or complete fabrications of the min...
February 14, 2022 at 00:03
Psychosomatic effects are physical. The words I'm seeing you having written are the results of physical actions on physical hardware. There is nothing...
February 13, 2022 at 23:42
(laughs in response to data computed by brain emoji) This is a contradictory statement. You have made a strawman for yourself. There is no subjectivel...
February 13, 2022 at 23:14
I'm glad to see you're understand that material reality has laws one must obey. Good to know we're making progress.
February 13, 2022 at 23:09
I am, indeed. Any other arguments in there? I swear you people on this website only know how to insult when your position is defeated. How do you know...
February 13, 2022 at 23:06
Then they are not real. Luckily, everything that happens to me has a material explanation in association with my cognition, which is produced by my br...
February 13, 2022 at 22:59
As in the exact same way it produces sight, smell, taste, heart beat, blood circulation, etc. Literally just like that. That's why when your brain sto...
February 13, 2022 at 22:44
This statement bears no relevance to what we're discussing. Asking why isn't what led them to the discovery. Figuring out how is what led to the disco...
February 13, 2022 at 22:42
I do not need to show to you what you are already proving you understand by typing words into your computer to send to me. It is YOU who must demonstr...

Yeah, the whole history is on Stanford: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/neuroscience/ Okay, we'll try just defining the word, so that you can under...
