Well, if you cannot perform the task in my thought experiment then why do you expect that physical can possibly do it? Physical does not experience ti...
I am talking about temporal change here so time and its change matters. No, it is part of reality. Why does the physical in the state of S1 cause the ...
I considered people's input and I am very thankful for it. I changed the argument slightly which is more suitable for further discussion. D1) Consider...
First, you are confusing the creation ex nihilo with the act of creation that is due to the Mind. I illustrated that several times but you didn't pay ...
I should have said: The conscious mind owes most of its experiences to the subconscious mind". This is now an accurate statement. I don't know the pur...
The difference is that when a person is awake, his conscious mind experiences a simulation of reality that is the result of sensory inputs -- he also ...
Why don't you get involved in my threads and try to find flaws in my arguments? I would be happy to know your opinion and criticism. Insulting is not ...
There is harmony in the physical change. This means that the change must occur at a proper time. By right in here I mean proper. Physical. Physical pr...
You only had one valid objection which I answered using my thought experiment. The rest of your objections were about the existence of change in physi...
Read OP. I read them carefully. You didn't find any error in my argument. You also didn't reply to my thought experiment. I offered that thought exper...
It was not created from something. The Mind has the ability to cause/create physical. The creation ex nihilo however refers to God who created the uni...
What term is not well defined? I would be happy to elaborate. It helps you to understand how one can go from this "Therefore, the physical in the stat...
Yes, no human can be an expert on everything. I however don't think I have any misconceptions about the subject of this thread. I do understand physic...
Ok, here is the first premise: P1) Physical and awareness/experience exist and they are subject to change (these changes are because physical and awar...
I do have problems with non-reductive physicalism as well. I generally have a problem with physicalism which is a sort of monism whether reductive or ...
I am saying that physically cannot experience time. I am saying that a rock cannot experience the passage of time. Correct. Humans can experience psyc...
Read the OP. Sure, I am not against this at all. I am however arguing that physical cannot be the cause of its own change. This thread is in support o...
I do know the difference. It is unrelated but there is a scientific explanation for how this occurs (from a Google search): People wake up at a certai...
Then reductive physicalism is false since it does not realize that the emergence of awareness is strong. I am saying that non-reductive physicalism ha...
The emergence of a car: Weak or strong? The emergence of awareness: Weak or strong? I don't need to rephrase my argument. All I need to accept is that...
If so, then why did you bring up the example of a car that is a weak emergence? I am talking about the emergence of awareness which is a strong emerge...
I cannot prove it to you unless you understand the difference between the weak and strong emergence. Therefore, it is due to you that study emergence ...
To understand that Q follows form P you need to consider the following thought experiment: Suppose I lock you in a room and ask you to perform a task ...
I was not talking about the functionality of the brain which in fact can be explained by the laws of physics. I was talking about the awareness that a...
You didn't reply to me but since you attacked me and my knowledge then I challenge you! Then please provide a solution to the Hard Problem of consciou...
I don't think that the conscious mind has such a causal power at all. The conscious mind owes all its experiences to the subconscious mind. It has ver...
I missed to reply to this. You need to read about the strong and weak emergence to see that the example of the car is a weak emergence whereas conscio...
Modus Ponens. Let me give you an example of another argument I developed here with the help of @"Arcane Sandwich": P1) God exists and is the creator o...
Then please read on the Hard Problem of consciousness. The problem to me is related to a belief that the strong emergence is possible. By this, I mean...
Please let's put the mind aside until we reach an agreement that experience and physical refer to two different phenomena. Within physicalism, the phy...
Very well said! The Hard Problem of consciousness is not the only problem that physicalism suffers from. For example, we also have the problem of Epip...
The conscious mind is very passive. Its function depends on the constant flow of information from the subconscious mind since it has very little memor...
The physical of course must know when to do cause otherwise physical motion would be incoherent. And that is an important point and it is not a mistak...
My argument has nothing to do with Zeno's paradox. I don't think that anything is lost in translation. English is not my first language though. If any...
You cannot simply say that my argument does not work. If you think my argument has a problem, let me know where. What is the thing you don't understan...
Because physical by definition refers to stuff that exists in the world, such as a chair, a cup, etc. The experience however is defined as a conscious...
Physicalism is false like it or not because I have several arguments against it. I already discussed what I mean by change in OP whether the change is...
Yes. Subjective time for sure is a substance so real. Objective time is required to allow a motion of the subjective time and it is not a substance. P...
