The physical substance cannot even cause a change in itself. I have a thread on this topic here. Therefore, the Mind sustains the physical substance (...

By content, I mean all there is in a mental event. By form, I mean how the mental event appears to us.
September 07, 2025 at 18:16
That is a very good question, and it requires a separate thread, but I briefly explain how we create thoughts. There are at least two minds involved i...
September 07, 2025 at 18:14
No. See below. A mental event is the subjective experience we are all familiar with. If the content of a mental event is different, then we have a dif...

I didn't make up anything. String theory is not my theory. I don't know what is wrong with considering all sorts of physical particles as physical sub...
September 07, 2025 at 15:37
I have no idea what that means. B either exists or does not. I must say that, within Aristotle's notion of causality, a thing that exists has potentia...

I consider all physical particles as the physical substance. Different particles are manifestations of different vibration modes of a single string at...
September 07, 2025 at 14:21
No. I just consider linear causality here. Do you think they are relevant?

Consciousness, to me, is the ability of the mind, namely, the ability to experience, and it cannot be an emergent thing. The quality of the experience...
September 06, 2025 at 21:11
That is a very good question! I have a thread on "Physical cannot be the cause of its own change" that you can find here. I, however, think that the s...

Oh, thanks for letting me know. I changed the OP slightly to consider your correction.

He is correct if any form of life is possible, shortly after the Third World War.

Human nature is not perfectly good. You can find evil people as well, such as sadists, rapists, etc.
September 05, 2025 at 19:28
Einstein said that there is no end to human stupidity! I hope he is wrong.
September 05, 2025 at 19:26
I agree, excluding the occasional nuclear war.
September 05, 2025 at 19:02
I have the same feeling. China may eventually produce more GDP than the USA since it has a larger population. China, however, suffers from problems su...
September 05, 2025 at 17:32
Mental phenomena, to me, are divided into strong and weak emergence as well. The example of weak emergence is perception, and the example of strong em...
September 05, 2025 at 17:24
Mental to mental causation is not possible, granting that mental phenomena are coherent, even if we accept that one mental event, let's call it A, can...

I already defined good in my post. Evil is the opposite.
September 05, 2025 at 16:01
What is right depends on your alignment, good or evil. Humans have evolved socially and physiologically over the Ages. Human nature is good; by good, ...

A theory is valid just within the precision of data. Given that the precision in data is limited, anything that one can imagine can happen beyond the ...

It is very sad to see that you leave your thread. I have to say that you are a very patient philosopher and scientist. Oh, man, this thread is so long...

God is defined as the first creator. God does not matter when it comes to a normal life since it seems that He left us on our own.
