You cannot do proper philosophy without a good science and vice versa! Hume was false. He was an intelligent philosopher though. I am sure he would de...
February 26, 2025 at 14:59
So do you think that things like electrons, quarks, subconscious minds, conscious minds, etc. are real? Philosophy and science go hand in hand without...
February 26, 2025 at 14:55
Yes. Even the Mind requires physical otherwise It cannot experience anything therefore It cannot cause anything at all. What do you mean by "it" here?...
February 26, 2025 at 14:48
How could you judge my OP as a poor form of reasoning? Do you understand it? If yes we are on the same page. Otherwise, you cannot say that it is a po...
February 26, 2025 at 14:34
Yes, they are concepts but these concepts are based on extensive study of the brain. Why do you stick to the idea of perception when I already refute ...
February 26, 2025 at 14:27
I think that Hume did not understand the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind mostly perceives things but it is the main sourc...
February 26, 2025 at 13:40
The Mind, the subject of focus of this thread, is Omnipresent in spacetime as I argued in the OP. And yes, other minds are floating in space. They are...
February 26, 2025 at 13:30
Things cannot be mere perceptions since there are mental phenomena, thoughts for example, which are consistent. This consistency is because any though...
February 26, 2025 at 13:19
The mind is a substance that exists within spacetime. Please read my first, second, and third arguments for further illustration.
February 26, 2025 at 13:00
Did you read my responses to your objections in the first part of this thread? Yes or no? I am not talking about minds here but the Mind. I might open...
February 26, 2025 at 12:53
I am not talking about God here! Did you read my responses to your objections? If not there is no point in pursuing further!
February 26, 2025 at 12:47
Sure, I think that the synapses change all the time. The memory however is stored in a chunk of synapses so it is a collective thing. Any neural net h...
February 26, 2025 at 12:44
Did you read my responses to you in this thread!? What do you mean by "You NEED the argument to BE..."?
February 26, 2025 at 12:15
So, the synapses change accordingly to allow for memorizing things in time. Do you disagree that memorizing requires synapse plasticity?
February 26, 2025 at 11:56
I spend my time reading all your posts and my answers again. I think to be fair I answered all your objections. If you think otherwise, please go thro...
February 26, 2025 at 11:51
Where are your objections that I didn't answer? I did it. Please read the OP. I am not going to discuss God here since it is off-topic. I am done with...
February 26, 2025 at 11:34
Yes, time passes always, even if baseball does not change, since many other things are subject to change. Moreover, the baseball is on a location on E...
February 26, 2025 at 11:25
Show it to me.
February 26, 2025 at 11:14
We are going in a circle until people understand that the OP is correct!
February 26, 2025 at 11:13
Then, you need to tell me what you mean by identity. Although the brain looks the same at different moments in time, it changes constantly because the...
February 26, 2025 at 10:10
I didn't say that time causes physical to change. No. It is not correct. Time is required for any change. Consider a change in the state of something,...
February 26, 2025 at 09:41
So you are asking the big Why! It is not a matter of personal preference or taste. Bohmian interpretation is paradox-free so it is the correct interpr...
February 25, 2025 at 20:15
Cool, please only read the second argument, mate!
February 25, 2025 at 18:01
You cannot have a photograph of an electron. You can only see its trace that produces some effect in the environment like the screen in the above exam...
February 25, 2025 at 17:57
In regards to the OP, I don't need to discuss how the intrinsic properties of the physical are preserved. I also don't need to discuss the laws of nat...
February 25, 2025 at 17:19
You are something that exists within time and cannot experience time. Did you understand the relevance of my thought experiment?
February 25, 2025 at 16:32
Please see the section "Interference from individual particles" in this article if you want to see how a single electron can affect the screen produci...
February 25, 2025 at 16:31
The electron, quark, etc. are real. It is through physical investigations that we accumulate such a body of knowledge. Can you break a chair into elec...
February 25, 2025 at 14:15
Sure we need. No, looking at a chair just gives you an idea about what it looks like. Why don't you answer my question? We cannot go anywhere if you d...
February 25, 2025 at 13:50
We cannot ditch physics if we want to know what a physical, such as a chair, is made of. I didn't talk about electricity but your computer. So again d...
February 25, 2025 at 13:37
Sure it exists according to contemporary physics. Are you denying objective reality? Are you denying that the computer that you are using now does not...
February 25, 2025 at 13:26
It is accurate. No. The synapses only change when a new thing is memorized or learned. No, memory is only a feature of synapses. Well, without synapse...

February 25, 2025 at 12:26
The memories are stored in the synapses. Synapses are the junctions between nerve cells. They change when we memorize something new. What do you mean ...
February 25, 2025 at 12:11
No, I call the part of the brain where the main part of memories, long-time memories, is held as the subconscious mind.
February 25, 2025 at 11:47
I didn't deny that.
February 25, 2025 at 08:54
No, I don't need to describe all these items since a few of them are off-topic. We need to first agree on the OP. Off-topic. I will however answer tha...
February 25, 2025 at 08:51
Is this the only statement that you have a problem with? If yes, then I am not making nonsense over nonsense! Anyhow, consider a building with two ide...
February 25, 2025 at 07:59
Why don't read my comments and try to understand them? Did you understand what I said? If yes, then what is wrong with my comments? Saying that I am w...
February 24, 2025 at 20:38
All I am saying is that the Mind experiences the physical, let's call it P1, at time t1, and creates another physical, let's call it P2, at time t2 la...
February 24, 2025 at 20:18
I changed the OP accordingly to include your objections!
February 24, 2025 at 19:50
So you cannot? Can you?
February 24, 2025 at 18:45
Ok, I will add a couple of extra paragraphs to make things more clear. And thanks for your contribution.
February 24, 2025 at 18:36
How do you word it considering that you understand what I said so far?
February 24, 2025 at 18:30
Do you want me to include all these discussions in this thread in a single argument?
February 24, 2025 at 18:28
What is the thing that you do not understand? Did you understand everything I said? My theory as it is represented in the OP is valid.
February 24, 2025 at 18:24
They are not the same things.
February 24, 2025 at 18:15
I already elaborated on what I mean by the motion of the brain from one point to another point. That is all that matters. Haven't you ever elaborated ...
February 24, 2025 at 18:13
The electron only has the same intrinsic properties, such as mass, spin, and charge at time t1 and t2 but it has different extrinsic properties, such ...
February 24, 2025 at 18:11
Are we on the same page? :-)
