Paco de Lucia - Entre dos aguas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oyhlad64-s

I didn't shift anything, considering my first reply and second reply to you. That is true, given the definition of an idea as a mental event. Both the...

AI is not conscious, for sure, so it cannot experience ideas. AI's output has no meaning to AI as well. Ideas, meaning, thoughts, etc., are conscious ...

I am a free agent Bob, so I have freedom of indifference and freedom of excellence. Are you saying that God does not have freedom of indifference and ...
August 28, 2025 at 16:30
Ideas are mental events that only conscious things can perceive. Ideas, therefore, are not shared by AI. So, AI cannot create ideas.
August 28, 2025 at 16:02
So, you are saying that you create those entities with your mind? But the guy in the video mentioned intelligence in entities he encountered. I don't ...
August 28, 2025 at 15:51
Ideas are another anomaly in physicalism. How could they be created by the brain? How could we talk about them? etc.
August 27, 2025 at 18:33
Are you saying what you experience is made by you, yet you are not aware of how you make these experiences? That is a very odd position. I mean, if th...

August 27, 2025 at 17:46
My model is simpler since it requires only one substance. To be honest, I cannot comprehend your God. Is your God unconscious? How could he know if He...
August 27, 2025 at 14:59
If particles experience, then we are not dealing with physicalism. I don't know about thinking, but there are examples of NDEs that refer to experienc...
August 27, 2025 at 13:50
We have irreducible particles, such as electrons and quarks, each has a set of properties, such as mass, charge, etc. These properties determine how t...

In you, an idea emerges when you read a sentence. Ideas to me are irreducible mental events.
August 26, 2025 at 22:22
Let's assume that there are at least two substances for the sake of discussion: soul and body, for example. We say that these substances are independe...

Dead people don't experience, according to physicalism. The experience is a feature of alive things. So, it is on and off depending on whether we are ...
August 26, 2025 at 17:54
Of course, the phenomenon experience is distinct from matter. That is one thing. I am, however, wondering how you could type your thoughts, given that...
August 26, 2025 at 17:46
There is nothing that I don't understand in that post. You asked for a mystery and I gave you one.
August 26, 2025 at 17:13
Did the entities you encountered show any sign of intelligence? If yes, why are you discarding them as unreal? I have never used DMT, but if I had a c...
August 26, 2025 at 16:59
My question is not silly. Considering that your thoughts are mental events and have no physical properties, I wonder how they could affect physical pr...
August 26, 2025 at 16:36
You are sure able to type your thoughts. Are you denying that?
August 26, 2025 at 16:28
So you agree that the idea exists as an irreducible mental event?
August 26, 2025 at 16:23
If you are talking about ideas, then I have to say that they are forms of strong emergence. I have discussed this here.
August 26, 2025 at 16:19
Given that we know what we mean by instinct and logical thinking, therefore, I think it is proper to say that intuition refers to the fact that our gu...
August 25, 2025 at 21:04
I know what instinct and logical thinking are. Intuition, in philosophy, is defined as the power of obtaining knowledge that cannot be acquired either...
August 25, 2025 at 19:54
Correct! :wink:
August 25, 2025 at 19:34
It is a first-person phenomenon, so-called experience, that anything with the ability to experience knows what it is like to have such a certain exper...
August 25, 2025 at 18:19
You certainly experience, don't you? Are you a materialist?
August 25, 2025 at 17:07
Yes, to me and many others here, the idea of a cup is irreducible. Have you ever been in a condition in which you want to write something, while you d...
August 25, 2025 at 16:09
Yes, in the context of physicalism.
August 25, 2025 at 15:44
I am not talking about currency but a coin. As I mentioned, the shape of the coin is a function of the position of the parts.
August 25, 2025 at 15:43
I think the brain is responsive to external stimuli until its cells die to a certain extent. We are, however, talking about a case of NDE in which the...
August 25, 2025 at 15:38
He told me about a patient with no brain activity while she had an NDE. This is his thread. I am just giving my opinion here. That is why I said, "Ple...

August 24, 2025 at 17:14
A coin is a weak emergence since its property/shape is a function of the properties/positions of its parts. They for sure exist, and they are the only...
August 24, 2025 at 16:50
According to my discussion with @"Sam26", the person does not show brain activity during NDE. So, at least in this case, we are not talking about brai...
August 24, 2025 at 16:08
I am not an expert in this field, so let's see the opinion of @"Sam26" on this matter. I think if NDEs are proven to be correct, then to have a better...
August 24, 2025 at 15:43
Ask @"Sam26" please. I am not an expert in NDE, but he told me an example of the NDE in which the patient showed no brain activity.
August 24, 2025 at 13:40
Do you have an explanation for NDE within materialism? The brain does not show any activity, yet the person experiences!
August 23, 2025 at 20:36
If we agree that one case of NDE was real, then we are dealing with an anomaly that materialism cannot describe. I am wondering how you could explain ...
August 23, 2025 at 19:43
We say that we have a system when there are at least two irreducible entities, each entity has at least a set of properties.

According to my discussion with @"Sam26", there is at least one case of NDE in which the person exhibited no brain activity. Therefore, materialism fa...
