Thoughts? Thanks.

No moderators around?

The (human) memory retrieves information, and also compares. The issue with your post is you right off claimed that it cannot store like a computer do...

Don't forget that food is energy consumption too. And given that it is one of the most expensive things we buy on a daily basis, you can investigate i...

Incidentally, if you've ever talked to a negative person, the associations that you would encounter from that person are often negative words despite ...

The situation at the moment might present a difficulty -- stress, tiredness. Or just mental block, which happens to everyone.

Given only 10 seconds to come up with associations, there's indeed a difference between thinking in terms of "total" and "null". I believe we retrieve...

Okay, thank you. I believe you. Clinton cards?

If you love the flowers in the garden, are you also in love with them? Not sure. You are only in love briefly, but you love forever. Hmm, don't know.

:) funny. To me "in love" isn't the same as "she/he loves". One can love someone or something, but not in love with it. Just my thoughts.

The idea from your post fits perfectly in what I wanted to say. If you're not talking phenomenology, then I am. And I'm using your idea to illustrate ...

I'd like to pick up from here. The issue I want to talk about is not the scientific mapping, or the lack thereof, of subjective experience. Not the me...

Yeah, I was reading others' posts in response to your post to me "there is clearly something wrong with her". I got your reference point without missi...

Good caption. Thanks.

Yet she loved Piet Mondrian's Apple Tree in Bloom or Flowering Apple Tree. (I do too)

My former professor in art failed to perceive the beauty of the Mona Lisa painting when she saw it in person. She wasn't impressed.

How ironic! But thank you. Will do.

Thanks for clarifying.

The real object is in fact an idealization, so they say. And I think objectivity in this sense doesn't fit with Husserl's explanation of spatial objec...

:)

That's great.

Thanks.

I agree with Gide. That's beholding.

No, it is not misperception, or misunderstanding. If I may borrow the quotes in your post -- please explain introjection and appresentation. They migh...

I'm thinking of a good explanation to criticize phenomenology -- trivial, preaching to the choir, stating the obvious, over explaining. Not sure.

lol. Yes, if we're talking about psychopaths.

Weather is changing. I love it. The gloomy, stormy sky. A brief moment each season.

It's okay if it sounds self-involved indulgence. But I was speaking in terms of a philosophical argument. Actually, if we're only speaking of Descarte...

And why would you say this?

No it isn't. We tend to think that anything and everything we are 'attracted' to is beauty. So a generic term is beauty, I give you that. Often we are...

I just posted in another thread about phenomenology. And as I've already said in my post there, it is not an argument, but a declaration. It doesn't t...

:sweat:

I would like to move this topic along to a more focused discussion of the natural world and metaphysics, which necessarily must talk about the ontolog...

So we've settled on waves now? Interference happens when the behavior is waves. Is this right?

What are these mechanics or characteristics?

.

Thanks.

:smile:

No.

And that behavior is what exactly? What are we measuring? Or are we confined to the descriptions of atomic entities?

What is this suppose to calculate?

I hope that we're not just putting together strings of words and make it sound like we're talking QM. I noticed that no one is commenting on the reali...

No actual observation -- that's the point. If you believe those who say that the wavelike quantum entities are really gravitons (particles) forced to ...

I don't know. It challenges causality, the gold standard of science.

No, it cannot. There is professional help, and then there's the spiritual and emotional support.

Please do tell.

The standards of evidence is what's being challenged here. Duality for example.

I'm trying to reconcile these arguments into something clearer to me. I've been grappling with it since the beginning. What Nickolasgaspar's quote abo...
