Okay, we accept it as granted, no need for proof right? Now, how did we arrive at this conclusion, is it from a particular kind of mathematics? Or is ...
From link from the Physicists. Ah, looks like has some competition from the Physicists. Everything is physical. Wow, consciousness is physical. Oh goo...
I think you have done well in defending your position! :) So how do we bridge the gap between mathematics and matter/energy? Are you saying that matte...
Interesting. :) Ah, a mathematics that represents the real world (dimensions). So maybe in a computer that would help to model a 3-d virtual world, bu...
Yes, I would agree that something is either self-created or that it was always here (infinite regression). :) Do you think that this means existence i...
Yes, indeed. Hi Roger! Correct! Nothing is not something! :snicker: Hmmm, that's interesting. A grouping of existence. :) What grouping? I think you s...
He's saying you should only believe in extraordinary claims if you have strong evidence. Well you can believe in anything you want regardless of if th...
You can find out valuable information through rejection, but then again you could just be wasting your time. The more valuable information you can gai...
Just like instincts come before knowledge, the heart grows before the brain, an atom already has electrons, so too does language have its own inherent...
What do you think the sensation is represented by? Energy perhaps? What is the object made out of? Just energy? It cannot be an object if it doesn't h...
Very interesting. :) It would certainly be interesting to investigate your hypothesis. You're saying that consciousness is comprised of qualia that wh...
Exactly, but the human here, is what makes all the difference. :) As a human, our logic becomes part of the universe. We discover mathematics, but it ...
Indeed, but the issue is that the absurdity I am alluding to, seems to differ from that of Schopenhauer's reference in one vital way. The absurdity of...
Very interesting. So more specifically, using this line of logic, I offer the following example: I have two options before me, I can choose to eat a w...
Indeed, and more importantly, "the absurdity of existence" is proof that nothingness is more justified. If there were only nothing, no justification w...
The mere fact that existence persists beyond the cold and dark, empty void tells us that we know little about its mysterious origin. Our intuition is ...
No, there certainly is not. Perhaps one day there will be, and that shall change the whole of history of this very discourse. Looking back, we might s...
Sure, it's always worth the effort. :) You can be open or as close-minded about topics in general. There is nothing "negative" or "positive" about bei...
He is trying to make up a fuss? I don't see anything wrong with what he said, but I do see you as constantly quick to disagree and making personal com...
Maybe one day we will be able to. Surely it would be worth the endeavor to be able to intricately analyze the biological history of our own DNA. I wou...
Truly remarkable. :nerd: Your expression is astonishing. I deleted my response several times because what you wrote, the more I think about it, the mo...
Brilliant! :) Thank you for sharing. I think the real issue at hand is the recurrence of time. That is, what if our suffering is due to repetition of ...
Thank you! I totally agree, I could never feel so arrogant about what I know when it's clear to me that my education and the people that have come int...
It appears then that suffering is embedded in the very nature of living. It would be unfair that everything around us suffers and yet we do not. Now w...
Very interesting, but many people including myself have a hard time subscribing to a truly entropic universe, especially in light of what appears to b...
The issue is that Darwin could never have predicted that the soul was at the center of our true intellectuality. He seemed to be a worldly, adventurou...
Sounds like a violation of conservation of energy, no? Well, which one is it? Is it a spontaneous emergence of energy violating law of conservation, o...
The question of the origin of existence still persists. It won't go away by ignoring it or accepting it. It is the crux given unto man. To venture int...
