Why don't the Ukrainians flee to Russia?.

That's exactly the question.

I don't think the brain computes like a computer. It "resonates" with the physical world and can do so in virtual all circumstances (and independently...

Seems there are running parallel threads on this. There is no material mind. There is only the approach to the brain as there is the approach to the p...

Maybe it's good to consider (insofar possible), an actual isolated "casus of consciousness". Let's try to find one and examine. Many involve vision (c...

Now that looks an interesting article. Thanks for the link. How did you find that? Just Googling? (Goggling?)

AFAIK, neural networks in AI are just the digital representations of real neurons in a very simplified version. So there are no real lighning-shaped n...

I don't see that as a problem. It's a merit, actually. Considering the attempt to empirically validate it, it will be advantageous to neuroscience. Fo...

It's not about gaps, it's about lack.

Point is, the data you refer to can't indicate what I conjecture to exist. You can call that a dark tower lord fantasy, but the conjectured internal i...

I think the EP confabulates here like a noctambule at daylight. The parallel flow of photons is projected, via the retina and optic nerves into the V ...

I see my phone made a mistake. I wrote "interest me brainy world" while intended to write "inner brainy world". Like I said, I'm with you partially. I...

Crazy Mall Bitches

Hit the pint friend! Back home safely. Seeya later!

I've said a few times that it are not the physical processes situated in the interest me "brainy" world, un-untieably connected with us and the physic...

Indeed. Why should Eritrea support a world that threw millions of vaccines away that instead could have saved a lot of lives? Economy and capital ruli...

What will be the answer? Will it be the last question in the great book of questions? Will the answer be found in the appendix or supplement of the bo...

So a statement can be false and true? The electron has mass but its essence has not?

If we know the basic fundamental workings of nature, couldn't we say then what things would be impossible to do?

Well, processes can be reversible and irreversible. All physical processes in the universe are irreversible. Before the big bang, there were no real p...

I'm not sure I understand. The choice of MAD, mad as it is, will be faced by an emerging intelligence?

If photons are all that's left, time has gone but there are still photons. Does he say how or where the new bang occurs? Or is that state itself the s...

But what if we can't think such a question (about the fundamentals, that is)? If we know everything then don't we know also what's possible or not?

Haha! Sounds like Penrose holds a similar idea. The universe that is left after evaporation of all holes will contain photons only. Maybe some neutrin...

Yes! Here I completely agree. But not because gods made it, like you know I believe. The universe and all in it is just great.

Well, I think I know the answer to cosmological problems (matter/antimatter asymmetry with associated left/right asymmetry, hierarchy problem, arrow o...

Similar but not the same. Does he postulate contraction after expansion?

Do we have a duty towards the Universe? Sounds the same like having a duty towards god...

You think we could create a new universe?

Well, not exactly oscillatory in the sense of a big bañg-bang-big-crunch, etc. More like big-bang-big-rip kinda thing. If our universe has accelerated...

Cosmic microwave background rats

I partially agree. I think the 14 billion years are one in many. I think that solves the problem of a beginning. There is no beginning, only beginning...

Dunno. I know pretty well who I am. Maybe that's exactly the cause of existential weeping (so not the because the loss of a lost one, or because of ph...

Though when I hear certain music which makes me weep I dont feel weak. It's more something of "damned, it could all be so great, and look what a mess ...

Indeed. That's why some people don't wanna show tears.

Weeping is the accompanying physical body state of suffering. Humans have accompanying tears also. Why? It's an expression. There can be tears of luck...

It needs no evidential justification that my dog understands "are we going for a walk?" (In my native language). If I say so, her head rotates a bit. ...

Ha! What we want?.... Oops...

She just has to learn not to pee in our bed. Damn her!

Exactly. In a loose sense. If our dog jumps me and heads to where her leash hangs I understand what she tells me. Right now she makes a kind of weepin...

Our previous dog even waited with dying... when we placed our hands on her chest, I could feel her heart stop.

She doesn't analyze it. She just is.

I did...

I understand my dog. She can even act! She was jealous when I paid attention to another dog. She acted as if her back leg was hurting suddenly. I unde...

Except that it's expanding. The extra space that is created while expanding is just part of the higher dimensional space of which we are a sub. That's...

We can communicate with animals. We're a kind of animal ourselves.

That our 3d space is located on a higher dimensional space. If that 3d space propagates through that higher dimensional space, it seems the galaxies a...

We are animals who are free to create their own coat, communication means, and material reality.

I pity your dogs if they're not self-aware. People nowadays are too much self-aware. Every creature is self aware.
