It depends on the model you use. In the standard model, most of the energies related to the forces are dynamic while the rest mass energy is not. In t...

Good and evil are fundamental features of our reality and are both necessary. Morality is about what is right or wrong to do in a situation. Everythin...

Very well said! :up:
April 01, 2025 at 10:23
You already mentioned what you mean with coherence and I mentioned that that is not what I mean by coherence. Well, I already defined and gave example...
March 31, 2025 at 14:12
Thanks for the references. I don't need them though since I know what I mean by coherence.
March 31, 2025 at 11:36
Same here! All the best.
March 31, 2025 at 11:32
I already gave examples so it should be clear to you by now what I mean by coherence.
March 31, 2025 at 11:25
I asked for example. Can you give an example of something which is incoherent, excluding our thoughts?
March 31, 2025 at 11:15
I asked for examples.
March 31, 2025 at 11:13
You just repeating yourself not seeing the truth. Why Don't you open a thread on the topic that our experience could be incoherent?
March 31, 2025 at 11:13
I don't think so. You should at least have a doubt when the majority of people agree on something. Having doubt is a useful practice. :D
March 31, 2025 at 11:11
Could you give an example of something coherent or incoherent?
March 31, 2025 at 10:52
Huh? Why don't you ask people for help? Why don't you open a thread on "our experiences are incoherent"? We have been through this in this thread and ...

The fundamental entities from which time emerges are either dynamic or static. In the first case, we are dealing with my argument. In the second case,...

Time is the fundamental variable of any physical theory therefore time cannot be an emergent property of such a physical theory since time cannot be t...

I mean if X, my cup of tea has a location, is the case that only X is the case and Y, Z, etc. which refer to my cup of tea having other locations are ...
March 29, 2025 at 15:52
I don't think that I am distorting the facts. People apparently understand what I mean by the coherence in the experience so I don't think that I am u...
March 29, 2025 at 15:48
I didn't intend to argue for the brain in this thread since that is the third substance and I don't have any argument for it now. I just commented on ...
March 29, 2025 at 15:44
No, I don't mean that. You are the only person who is trapped in P1. Other people understood P1 and asked other questions. To be honest I don't know h...
March 29, 2025 at 15:09
By coherent I mean that our experiences when we are awake are consistent. Take the example of my experience of the cup of tea. It is where I expect it...
March 29, 2025 at 14:21
I already defined the substance in several posts. By substance, I mean something that exists and has a set of properties or abilities. The bundle theo...
March 29, 2025 at 14:13
My argument has two parts: 1) In the first part I argue in favor of the object that carries information and is coherent from the experience and 2) In ...
March 29, 2025 at 13:01
To me, the mind is the substance with the ability to experience and cause the object only. The mind has the ability to freely decide as well when it f...
March 29, 2025 at 12:10
Personal experience can be a solid ground to conclude that the experience is coherent. Our experiences when we are dreaming are mostly incoherent whil...
March 29, 2025 at 11:26
I don't have an argument against solipsism and I am not endorsing it either. I have faith that other beings exist though. All I am saying is that we o...
March 28, 2025 at 19:07
The physical just has existed since the beginning of time. It is absurd to ask what was before the beginning of time hence it is also absurd to ask wh...
March 28, 2025 at 18:48
The private experience is an objective ground for coherence. We don't have any other tools except our private experience anyway! Can you give me an ex...
March 28, 2025 at 17:28
We couldn't possibly live in a reality that is not coherent. We couldn't possibly depend on our experiences if what we experience is a mere illusion.
March 28, 2025 at 17:15
None of these. Something is coherent when it is consistent. I don't need to prove it. It is a brute fact. But beliefs and thoughts could be incoherent...
March 28, 2025 at 15:00
I didn't say that the experience is tabula rasa. The experience has a texture and is the result of the mind perceiving the object. The object has a se...
March 28, 2025 at 14:38
Correct. I however wonder how through existential generalization one can conclude the existence of the object from the experience. This is the first t...
March 28, 2025 at 13:59
A substance is something that exists and has a set of properties or abilities. We have at least three substances in the case of the person, namely the...
March 28, 2025 at 13:54
By the object, I don't mean a mental thing but something physical that exists and has a set of properties. There are indeed two substances (apart from...
March 28, 2025 at 12:06
It makes perfect sense. I am not talking about people's beliefs and thoughts. I am not talking about dreams here but our experiences when awake. Dream...
March 28, 2025 at 10:38
A substance is something that exists and has a set of properties or abilities. The physical substance has a shape, location, etc. as its properties. T...
March 27, 2025 at 17:31
No, the physical substance is another category, such as my body, a cup of tea, etc. so to summarize we have at least three substances, the mind, the o...
March 27, 2025 at 16:35
I already elaborated on the coherence in reality when I discussed my cup of tea here. My body is a substance, it is a physical substance. There are tw...
March 27, 2025 at 15:52
Up to here, I introduce two substances, namely the mind, and object. The mind is a substance with the ability to experience and cause the object where...
March 27, 2025 at 15:34
I think we have three substances when it comes to a person, namely the brain, the object, and the mind. The object has a set of properties so-called Q...
March 27, 2025 at 15:25
Thank you very much for your interest and understanding. I am glad that you understand what I am trying to argue here. I studied the philosophy of min...
March 27, 2025 at 15:10
I am not a logician but from what I read on Wiki P1 and C1 are not an example of existential generalization since the subject and object are two diffe...
March 27, 2025 at 13:11
As I said, the reason can be right or wrong, so it is not a good example for our discussion. The rest of our experiences are, however, coherent. For e...

I am not interested in reasoning here. The reasoning could be right or wrong. What I am interested in is reality as we experience it. I don't have dir...
March 26, 2025 at 20:16
Our experiences, excluding our thoughts, are always coherent. Just look around and give me an example of a single experience that is not coherent. Rea...

I said: "Which premises, P1 or P2, do you have a problem with?". I was referring to the premises rather than you. First, we have to agree on two thing...

Which one would you like to discuss first? And I didn't say that you have a problem!
