Of course repeating the same actions in order to, over time, get different results could be a definition of 'to practice'. And practicing leads to all...
Well, let's notice right off that you moved the bar from perceived to detected and measure, which are not at all the same. But even this is not true.W...
Insisting is what one does to others. I insist to you that my belief or faith is correct. But that is not inherent in faith. One can have quietly and ...
Here's a range of types of references to retrocausality. Note: I am not presenting these as proof, but the door is certainly not closed on it and ther...
Sure, and then the issue becomes are there some people who can perceive things others cannot that are nevertheless real.But in science things are ofte...
But a lot of what is considered 'physical' in science cannot be sensed. Ibid, but further the word 'physical' no longer has any substance related mean...
There seems to be retrocausation in qm. Not that there's much consensus about this. This is not the same as final cause, since this latter implies pur...
If the universe is empty, presumably there is no light. There is absolutely no way someone would come up with the concept of colors without ever exper...
If you like it, then you like it. I sing alone. I suppose in the long run singing in from of and or with others is more important to me, but we get to...
Though science and the scientific method are not the same. And without some metaphysics in the air, so to speak, no on is using the scientific method....
No, science is not devoid of metaphysics. First off it makes claims about the nature of reality and the meta-nature of reality: iow ontology which is ...
I still think this is a category error. You think that people should not use the word belief for what is in fact their blind guesses. But the words 'b...
Well, this is a self serving answer but I'd like to say that it is ad hoc, flexible and not too fussy. That tools and models from other metaphysics or...
I'm thinknig of the poor in WEstern nations who yes have to deal with diseases, but they also have to deal with the stress of making ends meet, of liv...
The people involved in the decoding portions of the british ww2 intelligence kept the secret for decades about their work even though there was no rea...
No, stress is generally a worse problem for the poor. https://www.verywellmind.com/relationship-between-job-stress-and-income-level-3145085 https://in...
c Sure that happens. But that doesn't mean that stress starts in the brain. Or do you think child abuse is ok? Some children will grow up to be fine, ...
Well, both. But if you think too much it will cut down on experiencing new things. Thinking - if by this we mean, verbal private thoughts - while some...
Right, it seemed assumed that there was a comparison across time, when I don't see one in the OP. The OP seems to be saying this is what is happening ...
If there are any full grown adults inside a woman's womb without her choice, it's just an intruder, and with home as castle lethal force laws, I think...
If it's the regular, habitual human response to certain environmental forces why would it not be a cause? How does the body remain outside, for exampl...
We are social mammals. We are built to want social lives with certain qualities and quantities. If we don't have these, then we suffer. People may avo...
It's non-rational. It is a very effective pattern of mobilisation of the body. It is an evolved facet of animals. It is different from rational though...
It's funny, I've posted something sort of like my response earlier quite a number of times and the only reaction I've gotten is for the person in ques...
If someone asked you if there was a waterbufflo in your bedroom because they heard a sound, and you said no, I don't believe there is one. (or used a ...
Right off dreams are a clear exception to this - not all dreams but in most there is a sense of an I and also there is often recall. I actually think ...
That's not what I said. You are now making a claim that that's why I think the way I do. Which is fine. I made a claim about them. You made a claim ab...
That was quite a bit of energy spent trying to convince other people who don't matter to believe something. In fact it's hard to believe you think the...
That was not an appeal to authority. I metioned two theists, Newton and Erti, as counterexamples to your ludicrous claim. Let me explain what an appea...
That's demonstrably false. Like off the top of my head Newton, say. And there are many modern examples who not only are smarter than your summation, b...
Yes, you're right and I think it should be pointed out also that there is a slide between the definition of agnosticism - as a belief in the capabilit...
I don't think that is necessarily the case at all. An agnostic need not assert that a deity is capable of existing. On the other hand the agnostic can...
I do think a lot of anger at women for having sex type issues underly some or perhaps many anti-abortionist positions. IOW it offers a release for the...
I don't feel like a victim, nor did I present myself as one. My last post was me summing up my experience of how you responded to me, or perhaps also ...
I've made a number of points in a number of posts. Was there one of my points you didn't understand? I'd prefer not to start repeating myself. My firs...
Sure, of course. Something that this person at least forgets to include. I am pretty sure I made it clear that men could take responsibility. They jus...
Well, the woman is carrying the baby/fetus. Her body is taking care of those needs. Her choices in what she puts in her mouth, how she moves, what she...
To raise those issues was to point out the general rule - I may or may not have unfairly constructed, but it's on topic. If the general rule is one mu...
