I carried out experiments to test the roles played by our genes, environments from conception to the present, nutrients from conception to the present...

We can't change all determinants and constraints but we can change some determinants and constraints. It varies from person to person depending on the...

Thank you for your sympathy. I understand what you mean by "freedom to act on one's own will" but the problem is that our will is never free from dete...

No one deserves to go to heaven or hell because no one has free will.

I don't think it qualifies as a skill. It's simply the result of my realisation that we are all prisoners of causality.
April 01, 2024 at 10:37
I agree.

I am suffering from depression and CPTSD which affects my thoughts and emotions. I find reading, critically evaluating ideas, etc. very difficult due ...

I don't blame you for feeling the way you do about people who harm deliberately. I used to blame and praise but I stopped doing it because I realised ...
March 31, 2024 at 12:11
I am agnostic about blaming and praising anyone. Is being greedy and exploitative someone's fault? Would I not behave like them if I had their genes, ...

Some of the determinants and constraints can be changed. For example: 1. Gene therapy. 2. Changing the environment by moving to a different part of th...

There are many wishful thinkers on Earth. I have met many of them. Given how harsh life is, I don't blame them for being wishful thinkers.
March 30, 2024 at 19:13
I am agnostic about a lot of things. Is solipsism true? I don't know. Is hard determinism true? I don't know. Do souls exist? I don't know. Is anyone ...

I haven't read his book but I read some of the reviews on Amazon of his book. It seems that his book is pseudoscience.
March 30, 2024 at 18:38
We may not know until we die and die we will.
March 30, 2024 at 18:26
I agree with your statement "If you discuss a topic under different definitions of the key concept with the others, then you will not be able to reach...

The reason I have not edited my original question is that even if the phrasing is wrong, that's what I was thinking and asking at the time of posting....
March 30, 2024 at 15:04
I agree.
March 30, 2024 at 14:39
Thank you for the link. I am quoting from the link https://bjgplife.com/recalled-experience-of-death Is Van Lommel correct or incorrect?
March 30, 2024 at 14:38
Materialists believe that only the brain is real and the mind is the product of the activities of the brain. Spiritualists believe that only the soul ...

I have spoken with people who have experienced Recalled Experience of Death (RED) but I couldn't establish if their brains were dead or not. I wish I ...
March 30, 2024 at 10:13
Dr Sam Parnia and his team seem convinced that the patients met the criteria for clinical death and would not have come back to life without their med...
March 30, 2024 at 10:11
I understand your point. The doctor did not verbalise his thoughts to anyone so it is extraordinary that the patient knew the doctor's thoughts. The a...
March 30, 2024 at 10:04
How do you know this?
March 30, 2024 at 10:03
I don't know.
March 29, 2024 at 23:02
It is definitely the truth that I am seeking. I have sliced some human brains, too. I agree that it's not your job to disprove implausible claims. The...
March 29, 2024 at 22:13
No, you didn't. Please stop lying.
March 29, 2024 at 19:41
Thank you very much for the link. I had not read it before. How does this explain the incident where the patient knew what the doctor was thinking?
March 29, 2024 at 19:40
Did you watch the video in the first post on this thread? In that video, Dr Sam Parnia said that those people actually died and then were brought back...
March 29, 2024 at 19:11
How do you know that the brain causes consciousness? I have met people who believe that the brain, the body, the Earth, and the universe are all parts...
March 29, 2024 at 18:52
One can be legally culpable without being morally culpable. I think that no one is morally culpable but all adults of sound minds are legally culpable...

I have read many definitions of free will but I don't agree with any of them. My definition of free will is a will that is free from determinants and ...
March 29, 2024 at 18:36
I agree.
March 29, 2024 at 18:30
No, not even in my dreams. I have experienced being close to death but I have never actually died. I nearly died by drowning when I was four years and...
March 29, 2024 at 18:30
Thank you very much for your advice. I agree with making the most of one's life by doing what matters to one. What matters the most to me is saving an...
March 29, 2024 at 18:25
Thank you for your advice. I meditate daily but I haven't experienced death yet. How do you know this?
March 29, 2024 at 14:15
I don't know. I have met people who believe we are immortal souls and choose to be born and choose all the experiences we will have during our lives i...

Please prove your claim with evidence.
March 29, 2024 at 12:58
The moral deliberation of someone is not free from variables he or she did not choose i.e. genes, environments since conception to the present, nutrie...

Have you considered the results of the AWARE-II study? Please see: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0300957223002162
March 28, 2024 at 23:17
I agree.
March 28, 2024 at 18:23
An all-knowing being by definition knows everything which includes what my room and I look like. This is getting boring.
March 28, 2024 at 10:57
An all-knowing being would be able to describe my room and what I look like even without teleporting into my room. Your lies are not even plausible.
March 28, 2024 at 10:53
Ok, please describe my room and what I look like.
March 28, 2024 at 10:43
You have claimed that you have done all the tasks but you have not proven to me and others on this forum with evidence that you have done all the task...
March 28, 2024 at 10:39
Why would an all-loving, all-knowing, and all-powerful being as you claim you are, be afraid of exposing his or her identity? What about doing somethi...
March 28, 2024 at 10:36
LOL. It's not a matter of practice. Learning to play the piano is a matter of practice.
March 28, 2024 at 10:33
Ok, thank you for sharing.

How do you know this to be true?
