Absolutely. If hospitals are overwhelmed you end up with a much bigger and long lasting problem. Also, I'm wondering what the anti-masker/lockdown peo...

So God can't find us? He has the ability to search for us but not enough time to find us. That's almost comical. As a matter of fact he might not even...

Hi Jake, I understand that my remark is besides the point. I like your example about intelligence better than the one about space. The problem I have ...

I don't think we're made of space, it's more like we are made of matter that occupies space at a certain time. Regardless, I believe space exists.

"Now" is only relevant to the observer, the one subjected to time. That's why time is tricky, you're made of it.

I believe time exist inside the feedback loop, but the loop doesn't exist in time. If the loop is timeless, then nothing ever started it.

Aside from drawing it, I don't think there's any beginning on a circle, and that's why circles are so cool by the way!

It looks likes it's not there anymore. I used the term feedback loop earlier. What says that existence should have a beginning? All we see is causalit...

I think it is a poor choice of words. How about, what are the chances for a conscious existence after physical death? I think perhaps you can differen...

Sorry, I should have said reality instead of universe. For now, recent observations rule out the probabilty of a Big Crunch because it doesn't appear ...

Imagine you're in a causality feedback loop universe. Causality is only necessary for the guy in the loop, not for the loop to exist. And your chances...

I have mental experiences, therefore I am. Which of these mental experiences am I the most sure of? Physical sensory perception is not to be trusted a...

This description of the sensations looks a lot like the ones I feel when I'm having a WILD(Wake Induced Lucid Dream). I'm sure most of you know what a...

That's actually a lot of people, not just some unfortunately.

Yes, because if a guy falls asleep in a forest, the trees can still hear the symphony.

Unfortunately a lot of bad musicians play following their own subjective time rather than the collective one. This is the main problem when playing mu...

By world you mean civilization I believe, because the world runs better than clockwork. I don't think humans can fully live on subjective time as we'r...

That's the very reason why we have clocks. Back to the OP, I don't think it counts as time travel except into future. Putting your room back in order ...

Reading the book or watching the movie might help explain the context. Christopher McCandless wasn't a philosopher and the quote is just a note he scr...
