Still not answering the question I asked you. There must be something that turns the metaphysical substance (energy) in your theory into physical idea...

You are thinking about the idea of an unexpressed question (which is not an unexpressed question but an idea of one), but you are not thinking about t...

how are you aware of the incomplete potential information that a question presents?

the effect of the unknown (or anything else) on the body dissipates in the form of ideas? Anyways, that's not the topic of this discussion. I am askin...

so, no questions without answers?

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to say. I understand you are saying that the question, the unknown which causes the question, and its r...

I agree with you. I'd like to know why you think questions need self-awareness to exist? what is it in a nascent question which requires self-awarenes...

I agree. I'd like to ask you, how would you say the unknown relates to the question? How is a question something about what is unknown? Does the unkno...

Do you mean a question needs an answer to exist?

You mean an interrogative accent? oral questions do not need question marks to exist if by question mark you mean "?".

Because you exist(s).

Hey, What about curiosity? Would you consider curiosity to be a consequence of fear, too? What about the anguish of not knowing? I would say that not ...

I am assuming that every object that exists is associated to some kind of intrinsic field (i.e., a gravitational field, an electric field, etc). The o...

When you say "can't be known to existence", do you mean it exists, but it cannot be experienced? or do you mean it cannot be at all-it does not exist,...

Isn't that Newton's first law of motion? The law of inertia? I think he gives proof of it in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica; I am jus...

An experiential world, in the sense of human/intelligent/conscious experience, has relevance and meaning, of course. Our experiences determine our act...

What I meant is that if there was no other force opposing the applied force, then what I said was possible would be possible.

“Weak Anthropic Principle (WAP): the observed values of all physical and cosmological quantities are not equally probable but they take on the values ...

If there was no friction, an infinitesimal force would be able to move a huge object. Again, that the block does not move does not reflect absence of ...

I do not think you answered my question. I just want to know how panpsychism explains the fact that there is something instead of nothing. Why do thin...

I'd say time is perceived change. Change is ubiquitous. Change requires an interaction, a term that implies the existence of that which interacts. Thu...

I am not familiar with panpsychism. Could you explain to me how panpsychism explains existence?

To be experienceable, an object must disturb its surroundings and such change in the environment must be experienced by something other than itself. I...

How can something affect something else without them interacting?

So, is existence dependent on interaction? as in, a thing that does not interact with something external to itself does not exist; and existence requi...

.

I'd change that last part a bit and say that faith, in itself, is for fools.

When I grew up, I understood that my life is mine and only mine. I would die for it. I'd beg for it, I'd fight for it, I'd run for it. I'd do whatever...

Each of us is unique. There is no arguing that. Hence, each idea we have is also unique. The way we observe and think about the world is unique. There...

I don't know if I understand what you are trying to say, but I'd say that the mind/self itself is the result of the interaction of the external enviro...

I'd say they affect the self. That said, I believe the self to be different from other thoughts, although I think it is a thought itself.

Can you (or anyone else that reads this) think of something that exists and does not interact?

Yes, that is the question. But I'd ask, just to be more general (less specific), if that's possible: does every thing that exists interact? makes sens...

kind of... I wanna ask something more like: is everything that exists a cause? but now I'm realizing I am confused about what I really wanna ask; it's...

could you help me rephrase the question from the point of view of that which is affected, but using the thing that affects as the subject of the quest...

Question: Would you be able to tell you are a first person perspective if there were no other first person perspectives?

Please also think before reporting posts you think are inappropriate or before lashing out at people like you just did. People must learn to recognize...

Yes. It wouldn't be natural if it were not affected by time. I'm not ruling out the possibility of it being divine. However, the things I know seem to...

No. It was the process of evolution. It is fortunate; but remember that fortunate is a human concept. And how did it happen? That's what we are trying...

Consciousness would be an alternative outcome of the process whose "goal" is to make copies. There are different ways that goal can be accomplished, a...

It might be a trait under sexual selection (although I think it is under all kinds of selection since it is very complex). So, consciousness (the self...

I am just trying to show you that you are not the only thing that exists.

Imagination is made of ideas, the substance of which comes from experience. In the complete absence of experience, there would be mindless brains. We ...

Before being able to observe itself, it must exist. Don't you agree? The question is how can it exist before being subject to that first observation t...

You say things exist because they are observed by a first person perspective and that things do not exist when they are not observed. Additionally, yo...

Hello, I just wanted to add one more question to the list. The question is: what is the nature of that which we are aware of? My answer (not comprehen...

So, according to what you said, there are at least two kinds of conscious experience: one that is universal and the other which is not. For one to be ...

You say that and that and that So, that which is known is conscious experience since that which is known exists; and since it is known, it must have b...

To be honest, I'd like to hear the reason you believe this is true. There must be something that forms the foundation of your belief (an experience, p...

So, you are consciousness experiencing consciousness? or are you different from consciousness?
