>It sounds wacky, I know, but I can picture it, and that's no small feat. A good metaphor is like a good wine: they're hard to craft. Agreed :up:

You're good, it is still one of life's great mysteries. Speaking of reckless, I had a thought a while back that started off as a joke, but I can't hel...

Ah ha, you've hit on the foundation point of it all. Time and space are the same thing. Time can only be measured by movement in space: the ticking of...

To elaborate with an example I cooked up myself, I refer to this kind of thing as the Rock and Peak Theory. My thought is to picture a rock on top of ...

My, admittedly limited, understanding is that electrons are a negative energy particle that functions like a wave. Obviously this is hard to picture m...

"That would fall under the perview of your conundrum of philosophy." -The Engineer Sorry, couldn't resist. To answer the question though, I think beau...

I think I might actually push back against that, if you'll bear with my reasoning. I think it's possible to say that ideas do, in a sense, exist in th...

My thought about this is that infinity exists in the same way 0 does, as an abstraction of the set. Hence the whole "some infinities are larger than o...

I have considered before that the biggest difference between a philosophy and a religion is the degree to which you believe in the supernatural. Ultim...

I should clarify that when I use "magic" I mean anything considered supernatural. I do not believe in the supernatural, because I believe all natural ...

Sorry, it's the only answer I've got. Whether or not a person's life is "worth living" is one of the most personal questions I can imagine. I admit I ...

>Like, literally, what are they talking about when they talk about electrons My understanding is that electrons are electricity. A/C and D/C just desc...

Yeah, getting down to that level can be a bit of a mindscrew sometimes. It's kind of like what we're discovering about the connection between the brai...

Got'cha. Then in that case, I've wrestled with the "Why is there" question quite a bit, and I think the answer to your question may be the same, at le...

I think I may be understanding you now. It reminds me of something I brought up in another thread, the question of "Why is there something instead of ...

Thank you for elaborating. I asked because something in there sounded like experiences I have had with depersonalization/derealization, though perhaps...

I may be getting the shape of it now. So is the experience that you are having something like a disconnect between the reality you are experiencing an...

I'm just having a hard time grasping the experience you seem to be having. Can you describe it another way?

>But the “odd experience”, if you want to call it that, is that I (in particular, as an individual) experience their “logical modality”, so to speak, ...

I think that largely depends on what someone considers "god." However, in a similar vein, I think it's possible to prove the "soul" exists. Assuming t...

Hello! This is my first post, and of course I'm diving right into a heavy one! This is something I have considered a lot, actually, though obviously i...
