We experience psychological time occasionally when our conscious mind is not busy. We live in the present. The past is part of our memory, and we awai...

Thank you very much for the reference. I will read it when I have time. I am very busy with many things right now. Could you please tell me what he is...

Each person in the team has access only to his or her psychological time. As I argued in the OP, we cannot experience subjective time since we don't h...

What does that ever mean, a unit of measurement?
May 13, 2025 at 12:15
Neither. I experience psychological time only.
May 11, 2025 at 16:12
That is a definition of a process, not time. Quite oppositely, time is needed for any change, as I argued in the OP.
May 11, 2025 at 16:10
Thank you very much for your interest and understanding. Correct, time slows down when we are close to a supermassive object. However, time does not s...

I have an argument for the existence of my mind, which is based on the fact that experience exists and is coherent. You can find it here. I think the ...
May 11, 2025 at 15:12
By exist, I mean having objective reality or being. I already defined what I mean by "I". Yes, I can be a brain in a vat, or what I experience could b...

I can for sure tell that I exist, by "I" I mean a mind with the ability to experience and cause (I have an argument for substance dualism). I can for ...

Accepting that God exists, He could not be Good considering the existence of Evil in the world. Good and Evil are fundamental features of reality, and...

I said that given an infinite world, whatever the laws of nature, life is possible in this world, so no design is involved.
April 25, 2025 at 15:08
Correct. I am talking about physical worlds. Physical worlds could be finite or infinite. Correct. The finite world could sustain life.
April 25, 2025 at 15:05
So what? I am afraid that does not follow.
April 21, 2025 at 15:51
I assume that all possible worlds are infinite in size. Of course, if a possible world is finite in size, then life may not be possible within the wor...
April 20, 2025 at 10:17
How do you know? That does not follow from the previous statement.
April 20, 2025 at 10:14
By experience, I mean a conscious event that contains information, such as percepts, feelings, thoughts, etc.
April 20, 2025 at 09:59
By experience, I mean a conscious event that contains information. By know, I mean being aware of through observation, inquiry, or information. Genera...
April 20, 2025 at 09:56
So you agree that the physical, a cup of tea for example, does not have subjective experience at all, including experiencing time. I think that anythi...
April 15, 2025 at 19:22
We have two things here, information and getting informed. The object is a vehicle of information. Getting informed, however, requires an agent to con...
April 15, 2025 at 18:59
The physical neither has a sensory system to experience time nor has a memory to estimate the passage of time through the accumulation of memory, as h...
April 15, 2025 at 18:55
What do you mean?
April 15, 2025 at 15:41
I don't think that my argument is based on beliefs and assumptions. Here is my argument in syllogism form for further consideration: D1) Consider two ...
April 15, 2025 at 15:28
Sure I know the difference between facts and beliefs. What does this have to do with my argument?
April 15, 2025 at 14:20
An invalid argument is an argument that its premises are false. Could you point to a premise in my argument which is false?

The beauty of sculpture is its intrinsic property. We are however informed about its beauty by looking at it and having a subjective experience of bea...
April 15, 2025 at 13:23
Like the form of a sculpture.
April 15, 2025 at 12:59
Hi and welcome to the forum! What is your OP?
April 15, 2025 at 11:17
I didn't say that information is a substance but information is a form of a substance.
April 15, 2025 at 11:15
Yes, to me the information is a specific form of the object. We become aware of it only when we perceive the object. What do you mean by relational he...
April 15, 2025 at 11:12
But life is possible whatever the laws of nature are! So my objection about the design is valid.
April 15, 2025 at 10:55
I already changed the OP in the syllogism form. You are welcome to read the new form of the argument and comment on it if you wish.
April 15, 2025 at 10:50
Disregarding your insults, I didn't find anything valuable in your post so I won't comment on it further.
April 15, 2025 at 10:48
I am afraid this is not a counterargument, so I cannot comment on it further.
April 15, 2025 at 10:46
I have a thread on the topic that the physical cannot be the cause of its own change here. If we agree on this then it follows that there must be an e...

Do you by interpreter mean the artist? I first consider it to be the audience that observes the work of art. We have three things here, the artist, th...

The type of Qualia that the subject conceives is due to the form of the object. To me, Qualia is not information so to me, the information is the form...
April 14, 2025 at 11:32
Correct!
April 13, 2025 at 20:23
We have two things, namely the interpreter and the object. The object is a substance and has a specific form which informs the interpreter.
April 13, 2025 at 20:10
Information is the form in a substance. Take a bulk of clay that does not have any specific form. An artist can give a shape to the bulk of clay to co...
April 13, 2025 at 19:36
A substance is something that exists and has a set of properties so in this sense the information is not a substance. The information exists in a form...
April 13, 2025 at 19:11
Cool. I agree that the laws of nature are enforced by an entity called the Mind, but I wonder how this can be called intelligent design. In fact, I ca...
April 13, 2025 at 19:04
The information is the texture of a substance.

Eternal punishment is also promised in Islam as well.
April 11, 2025 at 13:54
The universe is infinite and very old so any form of life is possible within!
April 11, 2025 at 13:50
I understand that but to me, the mind is a substance with the ability to perceive and cause the object. In this thread, I start with experience which ...
April 06, 2025 at 19:34
The property dualism although it can explain bottom-up causation, the existence of experience for example, cannot explain top-bottom causation, for ex...

It is all right mate. I am interested to learn new things through exchanging ideas. I think that is the Mind/mind that experiences the state of pure a...

To my understanding, Maya and pure awareness are different modes of experience, so essence dualism refers to a duality—maya versus pure awareness—wher...
