That would be more proof of dark demons driving all apart. But it makes room for follow up. And probably we are a follow up too.

As seen in scientific realism. But that's not the only realism. Many universes in the vacuum? What vacuum? Eternal inflation is a fantasy.

If I would write it like you do, objective=subjective, yes. But I don't. For you there is a contradiction because it contradicts your objective realit...

Why is it so difficult to believe there can be more than one objective reality?

People want objectivity. Even if its subjective. Who is the arbiter? Reality? That's circular.

If you adopt a truth like yours, yes. But outside of it, no. Every truth has is own measure of truth or not true. And I know where you wanna go. But w...

It's not wholly arbitrary. Every truth, once adopted, has its own way of proving thing objectively true.

It's that which resides in the functioning systems.

Neither. Like absolutism it is an approach to truth, not a truth on its own. It just says all objective truths are subjective.

So the argument goes. If all truths are relative, then also relativism is relative. But relativism speaks *about* truths. About their nature. It doesn...

This assumes that mind resides outside the neurons, like temperature resides outside particles. Emergence is not a fundamental. Interaction is an epip...

Well, almost. More like nested loops. I'm the outside loop watching and influencing the inside loops that affect me as a loop.

Maybe the material world is an epiphenomenon of its ingredients. I mean, if you say that the mind is an epiphenomenon, going along with physical proce...

How do you infer hypocrisy here? What means Washington? Was?

We physicalists need to introduce a new ingredient with explanatory power. Let's call that ingredient X. Then what is X? Is it matter? No. Is it inter...

Can a surface be counted? Area can but the surface itself?

Non possum ridens... I can't help laughing...

Jesus Joe! What is the matter with you? I've done too much school already. I don't need school to know what the world is made of. Nor to know what god...

Okay then. Tell me Javi(er?). What do you want to know?

Why is it good to be modest? You are the one being rude, not me. Maybe that sounds rude though.

Where did I say Im the best? Why should I want that? I said I know about it. That's all.

I have done a crude calculation how many paths ion currents on neurons can take. It exceeds the number of particles in the universe by very far. A one...

I'm very interested in the workings of the brain. Sounds interesting. I will look it up! Thanks.

So what? Why should I teach others an artificial way of looking at things? I'm no slavedriver in the name of science. I'm not a missionary. Call that ...

Ha! Great picture!

Who needs a Nobel prize? I have great knowledge about neurotransmitters, depression, mania and psychosis. Psychosis is just a reaction to a rotten wor...

I had to look up "damn straight skippy". Damn straight skippy!

What counts is what causes the imbalance. That's the real cause of depression. Depression is the accompanying feeling. The imbalance, the depression, ...

Call it power, electricity, a spark, a magic essence, soul, divine stuff, or whatever. We don't know what it is. We only can feel it.

Yes. But the imbalance seen in depression is a response, an effect. Not the cause. Of course an imbalance causes (or is) the depression, but what coun...

In current society, depression is a naturally reaction to unnatural circumstances. It's not caused by an imbalance of chemicals, neurotransmitters, or...

Indeed. An imagination is a simulation that is seen. With the minds eye?

I meant thin. If all thick people have 135, and I have 159.9, can we logically conclude I'm not thick? Is liking sugar a sign of not being intelligent...

What's the something greater? I think it's the divine spark. Hawking asked himself what bred life into his equations that actually made them work in r...

People with a 135 IQ are thick. My IQ is 159.9. Is the logical conclusion that I'm thin? No. They test our ability to work out particular things. Some...

Not a function. A property that can't be explained. These are actually hypothesized in science. Bad ghost particles and good ones. Depending on their ...

When is something curved? If the value of the tangent differs from place to place? A circle seems curved. So does a cylinder. So does a torus. You can...

That's simply not true. We could take some fruit off a tree and start making paint to color dead tree trunks.

Death and night and blood

Good one! Well I don't love them because they make me. Tomorrow I might hate them. Just look at all pain in the world. As a matter of fact, I don't in...

I'm not afraid of god. I love them! Gave us the gift of live.

Yes. It's their only role. They created the universe. They don't tell us how to handle it. They clapped their hands or whatever and let it go. Without...

Do you see the universe as a superbeing of which we are tiny parts?

Afraid of what? Haha! Why not? I'm gonna call them Stephen. If we know everything, will we all be Stephen?

Yes. Science can't explain that the universe and all in it is there. It only says how stuff inside it behaves without knowing its nature or its origin...

That's nice, though I don't see what God has got to do with intelligence. Maybe they know nothing in the way we do, have no power at all like we do, a...

I wonder too, but as the saying goes, God moves...

What if all gaps are closed? Why should God be about gaps. I might know everything to the fundamental level. And where does that fundament come from? ...

Not every religion threatens with hell.

It's what I said every time. I'm not sure what you're surprised about. That God doesn't play a role in scientific discoveries?
