So Earth is subject to rotation all the time? Yes or no?
February 28, 2025 at 16:56
So, according to you, that is the Sun that moves around Earth? That is the only thing that you perceive! So please explain how you could conclude othe...
February 28, 2025 at 16:52
Correct. But I talk about your perception rather than perception in general. Do you think that you can figure out everything alone?
February 28, 2025 at 16:43
But your perception is limited so your arguments could not be rational or logical if you depend on them.
February 28, 2025 at 16:37
Are you willing to learn anything new except what your perceptions tell you!?
February 28, 2025 at 16:33
Ok, let's focus on your definition. Accepting that the the brain is made of parts then we say that brain A is identical to brain B IFF their parts hav...
February 28, 2025 at 15:41
So, you cannot tell that the Earth is moving because you cannot see it moving. Is it a correct statement? How do you explain the motion of the Sun in ...
February 28, 2025 at 15:17
Are you denying that Earth is a moving object because you cannot see its motion? That is a very wrong statement. Where did you take that from? I can s...
February 28, 2025 at 14:39
I am not talking about scientific theories here, but scientific facts that everybody agrees on, like the Earth's being a moving object. Do you deny th...
February 28, 2025 at 14:21
So, are you critical of what people say, such as Hume as well, or do you think he was absolutely right? I am not talking about the established beliefs...
February 28, 2025 at 13:36
Sure, I cannot be an expert in all fields. That is why I trust experts' reports. I think that is a healthy practice, don't you think?
February 28, 2025 at 13:11
No, you said that Earth maybe moves.
February 28, 2025 at 12:55
I asked a question. Could you answer that?
February 28, 2025 at 12:35
Do you think that the Sun is moving around Earth or it is Earth that is rotating?
February 28, 2025 at 12:33
What do you mean by maybe here?
February 28, 2025 at 12:28
I am not going to continue such an exchange since it is not a debate!
February 28, 2025 at 12:27
Doesn't Earth constantly move?
February 28, 2025 at 12:24
Yes, probably. I know that migraine can disrupt the conscious mind's ability such as thinking though.
February 28, 2025 at 12:22
Why don't you criticize your knowledge constantly? Why don't you appreciate when you learn something new by saying ok I learned something new, instead...
February 28, 2025 at 12:17
You cannot observe any motion because you are an observer that exists on Earth. Anyway, we were discussing a baseball that moves relative to Earth.
February 28, 2025 at 11:55
You constantly deny things, such as elementary particles, subconscious minds, etc. You are basically denying science in general. When things are discu...
February 28, 2025 at 11:51
I said that baseball is on Earth, Earth is moving, therefore baseball is moving!
February 28, 2025 at 11:44
I am done with you.
February 28, 2025 at 11:40
I am not saying that they are the same things!
February 28, 2025 at 11:39
The dreams are produced by the subconscious mind. Moreover, the subconscious mind remains active even when we are asleep, constantly processing inform...
February 28, 2025 at 11:09
Baseball is on Earth, Earth is moving, therefore baseball is moving. Moreover, the particles that build baseball are in constant motion too.
February 28, 2025 at 11:04
Or maybe the world including the Mind is intelligible. Physical processes are deterministic once we agree that Bohmian's interpretation is the correct...
February 28, 2025 at 10:59
Ok. I am discussing the Mind here. What does it have to do with Eternal Recurrence? I am not making an argument for the existence of God here.
February 28, 2025 at 10:20
Movements occur all the time and they don't need an observer. Knowledge of a movement however needs an observe. You are confusing these.
February 28, 2025 at 09:53
The subconscious mind is always active and does not sleep! Dreams are created by the subconscious mind. Now you are denying that memories are not stor...
February 28, 2025 at 09:49
I think people have the right to have faith in whatever they want provided that the faith is the subject of constant criticism by reason.
February 28, 2025 at 09:32
No, the movement does not need any observer at all. Where did you take that from?
February 28, 2025 at 09:28
Did you know that the conscious mind has limited memory so-called working memory? At any given time, it can access only three to five items. If the an...
February 28, 2025 at 09:21
Faith if it is defined as "complete trust or confidence in someone or something" is necessary otherwise humanity could not reach the current stage of ...

Do you believe in ghosts? :wink:

I don't think I need to read his book!
February 26, 2025 at 18:29
So are you denying that there are things like electrons, quarks, etc.? Are you denying that you have a brain? You don't have direct access to your bra...
February 26, 2025 at 18:28
I am not defending Freud's theory of subconsciousness here. I just said that the term subconsciousness was first coined by him. There has been too muc...
February 26, 2025 at 18:15
You said it here: No. Why is it relevant to our discussion?
February 26, 2025 at 17:29
It is not common sense knowledge at all and that is why you are wrong. We are only aware of the conscious mind's activities. The term the subconscious...
February 26, 2025 at 17:25
So you are denying all the body of knowledge that was created by scientists! That is not a good habit since you are denying all the things that you ar...
February 26, 2025 at 17:04
Philosophy does get outdated! Consider the case of Hume. Good for them. You should do the same. Exactly!
February 26, 2025 at 17:01
Electrons for example exist and move around the nucleus. They can be found free as well. Quarks exist within protons and neutrons. The conscious and s...
February 26, 2025 at 16:56
Well said! Without faith, we go nowhere, and without reason, we cannot find the way!
February 26, 2025 at 16:41
Where did you get that from? Why don't you study psychology a little before commenting on the conscious and the subconscious mind? Where does all your...
February 26, 2025 at 16:25
Sure you are wrong. That is the reason that most of the outdated philosophers are wrong. Philosophers need to read about science if they want to do go...
February 26, 2025 at 16:17
They exist so in this sense they are real. I didn't say they are on the same level!
February 26, 2025 at 16:10
I will read those articles when I have time. Thanks for the references. I am not saying that time is needed for order. I am saying that time is requir...
February 26, 2025 at 15:57
The subconscious mind does not sleep at all. That is the conscious mind that sleeps. Where is your perception when you are asleep? Why does your perce...
