Truth Seeker

My consciousness is experiencing my thoughts and emotions. My consciousness is temporary, but it lasts as long as I am alive and conscious, while my t...

You're absolutely right: in most animals, DNA chains shorten during cell division, specifically at the telomeres - the protective caps at the ends of ...

No. Planarian flatworms are truly extraordinary organisms with several remarkable biological features that have fascinated scientists for decades. Her...

They survive and reproduce in situations humans can't e.g. having their head chopped off. That's how they thrive. I would love to be able to grow my h...

I am not convinced souls exist. I know that many people believe that humans are immortal souls and souls go to heaven or hell after death depending on...

I agree.

No human is currently immortal. So, I don't have any way to test how being immortal would affect a human. I have already tested how being immortal aff...

My thoughts and emotions are not part of me. They are part of my subjective experiences. I am a temporary sentient process generated by my brain activ...

All four categories of variables i.e. genes, environments, nutrients, and experiences are essential for the construction of a sentient biological orga...

Yes. Only something that has never existed is always free from determinism. I didn't say what you claimed. I am saying that laws are part of our envir...

My sense of self is generated by my brain activities. I am not my thoughts, just as I am not my emotions. Thoughts and emotions are temporary mental s...

No, all four categories of variables - genes, environments, nutrients, and experiences are essential. If you remove one, the others will be unable to ...

I understand where you are coming from. Do you understand where I am coming from? Our thoughts don't occur magically out of thin air. They occur due t...

GENE Profile is short for Genes, Environments, Nutrients, and Experiences Profile. I used the initial letters to create the acronym GENE. All four cat...

A different choice would only occur if the determinants (genes, environments, nutrients, and experiences) are changed. For example, if I had received ...

Please see this thread: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/16045/understanding-human-behaviour for more details about the Genes, Environments, ...

You are most welcome. Sorry, I wasn't clear from the beginning.

I didn't say our choices were predetermined. I said that our choices are determined and constrained by our genes, environments, nutrients and experien...

Thank you for explaining your reasoning. I certainly wouldn't impose immortality on anyone who didn't want it. I want to be immortal because it would ...

I see your point. My answer is that I could not have chosen chocolate-flavoured ice-cream if the determinants that caused me to choose strawberry-flav...

The model doesn't have tiers. It has a sequence: World + Others ? Genes + Environments + Nutrients + Experiences ? Desire (what we want to do) + Capac...

Why is it nonsensical? It is our genes, environments, nutrients and experiences that determine and constrain our choices. It is entirely evidence-base...

If you changed the determinants i.e. genes, environments, nutrients, and experiences, then I would have chosen differently. For example, if the shopke...

No, I am not saying what you are claiming. Our choices are not free choices. They are determined and constrained choices. You can prove me wrong by te...

A free choice would be free from determinants and constraints. For example, if you behead me, I can't grow my head back. If you behead a planarian fla...

No, that's not what I mean. Let's say my friend and I go to a shop. There are two types of ice-cream on sale - strawberry and chocolate. I don't like ...

I agree. Thank you for your suggestion. I also agree that we can learn to enjoy doing what is right. I made another image on the 4th of May 2025 which...

You have a choice, but it is not a free choice. It is a determined and constrained choice. A choice is the experience of choosing a behaviour from a r...

You have a choice, but it is not a free choice. It is a determined and constrained choice.

I am sorry I don't understand - please explain how death gives meaning to our lives. I agree. I wish there was an easy way to unite everyone.

Thank you very much for telling me the amazing story of Dorothy Day. I think every kind word and action makes a positive difference.

You are right. I should indeed keep my goals within my capacity to complete them. Thank you very much.

No, I am not rich with money, but I am rich with love. Yes, he has saved and improved many lives.

I see your point. I am being too impatient. I want to see rapid changes, but that is impossible. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Thank you - sadly, my capacity is limited. Although I have managed to save and improve some lives - the world is still full of suffering, injustice, a...

I don't live in the USA. I live in the UK. I don't agree with Donald Trump's policies.

I don't have hubris. I am so sad about all the suffering, injustice, and death in the world. At least 99.9% of all the species to evolve so far on Ear...

I totally agree. How can I unite everyone towards achieving the 14 worldwide objectives?

You are right in that I have very limited abilities. If I could unite all humans with the goal of achieving the 14 worldwide objectives, then we could...

The problem is that living things are suffering and dying every second. Keeping doing what I am doing is not enough to achieve the goals.

How would I achieve global political action?

Some organisms are biologically immortal, e.g. planarian flatworms, immortal jellyfish, hydra, etc. If we could genetically engineer all living things...

Thank you for your kindness and for sharing your experience with me, and for your advice.

I didn't seek a second opinion. I wish I had. Sadly, I can't change the past. I agree. Thank you for your wise advice.

I watched this movie many years ago. Thank you very much for reminding me of it and also for your insight.

This is a very interesting idea. Thank you very much for this advice.

Thank you very much for sharing your system for making choices. I love it.

Thank you. CPTSD and Bipolar Disorder make a difficult combo to treat. I also wish I had better treatment than what I had. I have been on so many medi...

Thank you very much for the book recommendation. I look forward to reading it. I wish I had listened to my parents instead of listening to my psychiat...

Thank you very much for your advice.
