and is every mental representation in the form of images or "sounds" made by my inner voice? or am I missing some other type of mental representation?

do you think there is a definition which would encompass every space there is? like, is there a feature which is common to all spaces so that they all...

What causes the want (the desire) to know?

When I try to think about which space the mind would occupy, I always end up asking myself "relative to what?". As if for it to occupy a space, there ...

so, if the mind has a limit... what is the cause of this limit... what is it that limits the mind? what makes its boundaries? what makes it a discrete...

I don't think the mind works at the quantum level..... it'd be too easily influenceable(?) for it to be able to form the human character. I dunno if t...

I guess I just wanna give it a shape... you know, make it something more tangible. If it exists, it must have a shape/limit/form/figure/boundaries, an...

So, is there a limit for the human mind?

Wind is made of gas molecules following gas laws. Wind is not earth, nor is it water, nor is it fire, nor is it anything else but wind; so, I'd say wi...

what kind of space would it be?

So, there is in my head an immaterial, non-physical realm? Are you saying that the mind indeed does occupy a physical space when ideas "materialize", ...

So, something that does not have a definite location still can occupy a space. My question is about the mind occupying a space and not about it having...

what are you doing to save them? what in the world gives you the moral right to put forward and defend such an evil proposition?

I think there is an idea in the human mind in which such mind is believed to be divine/not of this realm/world, supernatural (a dangerous idea, in my ...

Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution, I guess? Every concept a result of it.

Is not to have a location the same as to not occupy a space? An electron's position might not be able to be stablished, but it will never be found in ...

I dunno Seagull... I'd say that something does not exist when it does not interact with anything at all. Therefore, I guess something would be a thing...

Honestly, I do not know how to define the mind. When I think about "the mind" I think of that quality (of my body?) which allows my body to refer to i...

For me to-exist is a synonym of to-be-a-particular/unity/discrete-entity. Something either exists or does not, no matter the state in which it exists....

Interesting definition. I have come to believe that the mind is the set of changes in the composition of the extracellular space surrounding neurons (...

Could you give an example of a property of space other than the mind? Now, if you think the mind occupies a space, what would you say its limit is? I ...

Do you think, however, that the mind occupies a space? Edit: Also, isn't everything that interacts with matter physical? Does the mind interact with m...

I was just trying to find an argument in favour of the mind's physical nature. My reasoning was: 1. Everything that exists occupies a space. 2. The mi...

Existence appears out of necessity since nothingness cannot exist (there cannot be nothing, never). This is not the same as saying that existence come...

I do not think it would be ethical to take advantage of someone's desire to be free.

You should be experimented on for propositions like that.

I was not trying to justify racial discrimination but presenting what I think might be one of the causes of racist behaviour. All races are racist to ...

single electrons do not move across synaptic gaps, it is neurotransmitters which pass a signal from neuron to neuron.

We are debating the existence of something. To be able to debate the existence of something, one must be able to talk about that something; one must b...

You talk about many things being but no about how they are. How can you argue in favour of the existence of something that you can't describe with you...

Off course, what you experience is not what I experience. We do not occupy the same space. As a consequence, what you think is different to what I thi...

Pretty simple for you who is writing it and know what you are thinking. If someone asked me to describe why certain dog is considered a dog, I would s...

I posted it on the lounge. If you want to move it to the general philosophy section, go ahead.

What do you mean? The thread was posted on the lounge if that what you are asking. If you want to move it to any of the other sections, I am ok with t...

Still not answering the question I made. I just want someone to describe to me, as best as they can and as concisely as possible, the christian god an...

Why is Jesus God? I believe there is an origin. I also believe that given certain conditions, you would be able to know all about the origin. I do not...

Isn't Jesus the son of God?

Before starting, I think we should agree on a definition of God; you know, just to make sure we are talking about the same thing. As I said, I am not ...

If by EOG you mean the existence of god, I am down. I am no certified philosopher, but I'd like to give it a try.

I do not know what a question is, hence why I want to find all the things that define a question. So far, I believe the most important requirement for...

nvm, just found the book.

I just want a list of the things you think are required to express a question. A list that is as comprehensive as you can make it. Also, I'd like to r...

Ok. Then let me ask you. What are the requirements for a question to be expressed? I just want a list of the things that you think are needed to expre...

Why not?

If a question is that which arises from the interaction of what was not known* with the self, then the answer must be what causes what was not known (...

I am not an expert myself. I do not have a degree in philosophy or religion or ethics, just so you know; so, I am an amateur just like you. For me, th...

So, we could say that a question requires an unknown associated/related to it, a subject that recognizes what is unknown, and the expression of the qu...

I think the idea of god stalls philosophical discussion since it "solves" many of the unknowns with which philosophy deals. In my opinion, you cannot ...
