Neither will a non-linear view. The core reality of consciousness lies inside matter. Natural beliefs can cause great harm too. Just look at the state...
On the other hand, @"Wayfarer" makes a good point. Belief in a new life, be it secular or not, can give a good excuse from refraining doing harm. If t...
Very true. It can stand on the same ground even as escaping by heroin. No real solution. Maybe heroin is even better. That at least takes pain away. B...
Well, I didn't come up on it to fit my desire. I never desire to live another life. It just turns out to be that way. And luckily. Maybe next time it'...
I have fairly good knowledge of the physics and chemistry of the brain. But that's contingent on the real state of affairs. I know the basic neo-corte...
You got it the wrong way round. I don't allow my thoughts to think about all that science. I know how the brain functions. It's not that difficult. I ...
Okay. I'll try. I'm not trolling or whatever. I'm serious. In my view, the singularity is a thin wormhole connecting two parts of a 4-dimensional univ...
That's because you argue from the perspective in this universe. In this universe there can't be a clone of me. It's someone else. The follow up univer...
That's my point. It's not the same as in this universe. All material particles will disappear in time in this universe. New appear in a new bang. A ne...
I don't say it to hurt you either, but the new you is you. All is gone here, everything starts again in zillion years. But it seems the blink of an ey...
You can't be reborn in this universe. The clone is not you. It's impossible you are reborn in this universe, as the particles you are made of have a u...
The clone argument doesn't hold for serial big bangs. I have good theoretical arguments for them to occur. You can get born like you in an infinite va...
Don't you think this reassurance will be a reason for some to start such a war? I think it's a very scary idea that such a war is possible in the firs...
Who says our state doesn't appear again in a follow up big bang? All material particles in the present universe will be annihilated in the far future....
No. My body controls and it uses the brain. If I type these words, it's my body typing, my body steering my vingers, via the brain, not from the brain...
Get real mr. Stone! The only way out is not magma. That's letting the volcano in. The only way out is production decrease. Nature has suffered long en...
Maybe God shows itself by means of the hidden variables in quantum mechanics. It's impossible to check all that is happening in the universe. The heav...
No. The brain just shapes the sensory perceptions. Colors, shapes, sounds, motions, etc. The perceptions can also appear on their own, say in thoughts...
Yes. Photons act instantaneously. Because they have finite velocity though, nothing can happen at once or at the same place. Newton thought action was...
Yes, but I only use these functions. If you consider yourself to be your body, I just exist between the brain and the outside world. The outside world...
Indeed. In between. But that's in the eyes of the beholder only. I dance freely between my brain and the world and thank god that my heart still beats...
Space is exactly what Kant was wrong about. There don't exist left and right handed gloves in an infinite empty space. And they certainly are not the ...
As far as I can see it, the pornography of Tegmark is a perversion. There cannot be copies of you and me because the universe is finite. The closed pr...
