I posted it here. It wasn't moved.

I think I made a mistake in my last comment where I asked you to describe what you felt when you thought of nostalgia. I think there are mental repres...

Let's do it. I agree, they all are mental representations, although I'd say "past" is more complex than the rest. Let's not include it in the dissecti...

So, the mind has Power. Power is defined as the rate with respect to time at which work is done (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)). The S...

but isn't the rotation confined to a space?

Honestly, I am having trouble coming to terms with the claim that there can be something which is not physical but which is the product of something p...

Is information produced? I understand some types of information travel at the speed of light (acoustic waves don't, for example). Are these types of i...

I'd say at this point I'm struggling more with the idea of something existing and not being physical, at least in regards to the mind. If the mind cha...

Ok. I might be wrong on this. Aren't time and space connected? Can they act independently of one another; as in, can something occupy a space and not ...

Is the mind timeless? Does it change at all with the passage of time? Or does it always posses the same exact qualities as time progresses?

As in responding to the passing of it. Like, does the mind changes with time? Or is it outside of time, timeless, not affected by time, at all?

Is the mind affected by time?

I agree, some ideas are. But when an idea is expressed by a subject and received by another, and when it becomes the object of discussion/debate, the ...

But not the person itself.

Pardon my language. I meant, direct your words to the idea, not to the person. Attack was such a strong word.

Attack the idea, not the person.

It's a Philosophy forum.

No one needs to repent.

Imagine every molecule in your brain. At any given time, every molecule in your brain occupies a particular point/position in the space determined by ...

A definition of nothingness cannot accept the existence of possibility. Nothingness is the absence of existence and as such it cannot be an emergent p...

. What if you imagine unlimited and unbridled no-difference? I don't wanna use the term "similarity" because I think this term also presupposes substr...

So, the absence of difference is not the same as the absence of existence?

Just to be sure, in the sentence above you meant "having the quality of being no-different," right?

I don't really understand what you mean.

By variance I mean the quality of being different. Thus, a state of no variance would be a state where there is no difference/dissimilarity. Qualities...

You say that we are different from each other both physically and in the contents of our minds. You also say that the contents of each mind determine ...

Well, if you were able to measure the trajectories that brain molecules follow inside the brain throughout a given thought, then I think these traject...

how do you explain the fact that the mind is never the same? or the self is never the same? I bet you are never the same person. Your self changes thr...

The pattern exists independently of the meaning that you give to the pattern. The pattern is then objective, its meaning subjective.

The mind depends on the molecular composition (chemical properties, absolute quantities, and ratios) of the brain, the relative position of the compon...

I did not mean that thoughts depend (entirely) on the flow rate or composition of (or any other property of) blood that reaches the brain. I was using...

But once you arrive at that argument, all philosophical thinking stops because you simply explain everything with the existence of god or you put a co...

Our feeling of insignificance may arise from our feeling of superiority; I think they go hand in hand. When a kid sees a small ant and realizes he can...

When you ask how much each thought weighs or what is the colour of thought, you are asking how much each circulation weighs or what is the colour of c...

Every thing which exists is significant; otherwise, it would not exist.

Mind is to the nervous system as the circulation of blood is to the circulatory system.

Their communication was not about mental states; it was not about sympathy or pain. Their communication reflects their mental states; the words used i...

If thoughts are immaterial, would you say that they are immaterial entities which depend on material ones (molecules), and their properties (ratios, a...

True; I think a full/exhaustive characterization of the average values for such factors under biologically-relevant conditions (sleep, euphoria, fear,...

I think there is a lack of easily accessible spaces where ordinary people can express and debate their thoughts with each other respectfully and in th...

Just to be clear, I am not arguing in favour of the mind existing without a body. Like you, I also believe that it cannot exist without a body and tha...

I agree; the person is also the place its body occupies (and maybe more things), and this I think makes our existence something really wonderful. Each...

I would add: ...chemical reactions Thus, the mind is limited by the kind of molecules which form it (not all molecules can form a human mind), the rat...

An idea would depend on the spatial organization and composition of the molecules at the moment when such idea comes to mind. To ask what makes the id...

The mind depends on the molecular composition (chemical nature and relative ratios) of the brain, the relative position of the component molecules wit...

could you explain this a bit more? I don't know if I get what you are trying to say (and still, I'm replying to your comment; forgive me if I got it w...
