You seem to have difficulty understanding that what I have provided is good reasons to reject the mathematics of invariance. I have no doubt that the ...
All I can say here, is that you use "experience" in an unusual way, which makes it difficult for me to understand your perspective. I think you are sa...
OK, you can do what you want, it's a free world, but I don't buy your justification because you are making a very similar category mistake to the othe...
The relevant issue is the applicability of the law. Application demonstrates a degree of error, the cause of which is not accounted for. Since it's no...
Check out Lee Smolin's "Time Reborn". He is a PHD physicist and he provides a good explanation as to why we ought not think of the laws of physics as ...
No, no, no. You cannot make blanket generalizations like this. A small coffee with triple sugar is much different from a large with single sugar. And ...
No, I never said any such thing, and I can't see how this is relevant. The point was that Isaac implied that they are not the same thing, by explicitl...
You're not quite right there Banno, because "novel" and "block of cellulose" are both descriptive expressions, and neither names a particular thing li...
As I said, will is wrongfully linked to choice. When we drive a wedge between the two it is to change the way we look at the world. Then the world loo...
What you said is that there is a lack of one-to-one correspondence, and then you described this as a gap. I can remove "gap" if you want, and say that...
Sure there is an association but the question is how closely are these two related. If we premise that all willed acts are chosen acts, then we run in...
I addressed this issue already. Choice is made by the mind, reason, or rational intellect, and the will is not "tied" to that choice or else it would ...
Desire is just an inclination toward an object or goal. Will is what acts on the desire. That we do not necessarily act on our desires indicates that ...
You've got this backward Ludwig. To say that your unwanted actions are caused by a habit, and therefore your will has no power to prevent them, is the...
That's exactly the point. There's a gap between what "neural activity" means, and what "I smell coffee" means, which indicates that the two do not ref...
"Gap" is your word. Look. But it's not a semantic issue. If two separate descriptions of the very same thing cannot produce a one-to-one relation, the...
You said there's a gap between the two. What do you think constitutes a "gap"? How is there a gap between the two descriptions, neural activity and I ...
Correct, and the existence of this gap means that there is a lot missing between these two. Within that gap is the ineffable. We know there's more to ...
Come on jgill, a thread on the ineffable could be nothing other than babble (a typical Banno thread). Why discourage them? Just let them play their ga...
There is no such thing as "the way you are". We are constantly active, changing, and each activity you are engaged in is making you different from bef...
What about all the internal behaviour, which can't be seen? This is what is commonly called thinking. A person learns one thing here, another thing th...
If you didn't care what happened to me And I didn't care for you We would zigzag our way through the boredom and pain Occasionally glancing up through...
This is because the common way of understanding the will is to tie it to consciousness, so that a willful act is necessarily a conscious act. But that...
I came across a good example of the ineffable in the thread called "The Will". When the free will prevents a person from doing something, as in the ca...
But if this is the case, then the overriding concerted effort is the manifestation of "will" rather than the mechanistic causation. That is because "w...
But it is not true that actions are necessarily environmentally triggered. That is what will power, and the capacity to break habits demonstrates to u...
I find that very easy to believe, because you've demonstrated over and over again that you are extremely biased in your approach, and you either willi...
My thoughts are in my mind, and your thoughts are in your mind. Yes, your thoughts may influence my thoughts, and my thoughts may influence yours, thr...
I think it will be useful to expound on this separation between willing and choosing. We can characterize choosing as a feature of the rational intell...
I hope you read that well, and understand some simple principles. First, what they stated at the beginning, the issue with an "isolated system". This ...
That is not a collective know-how, it's a collective production. Each individual involved in the production has one's own know-how necessary to play o...
Try making this statement on the dualism and conservation of energy thread. They will act as if you are a troll, and make fun of you like you are a fo...
We are talking about "the system". The energy is lost to the system. That all the energy could be accounted for by measurements of things other than t...
This is false. Despite what Banno claims, velocity is always the product of an average from at least two measurements of position and calculated over ...
I believe that "judgment" can only be claimed to be the correct spelling in the case of a legal judgment. Outside the court we have the freedom to mak...
There is a judgement which we like to make, between accident, suicide, and murder. The judgement might be easy for anyone present, but not so easy for...
Get real universeness! Face the fact of the first 1.5 seconds of the experiment for me please. As recorded by the experimenters, and indicated on the ...
As I said, after the first collision, at approximately 1.5 seconds, they started with the "arbitrary" figure for potential energy. Please reread the e...
Right, you're talking about some sort of "occult" energy loss, universeness is trying to claim that scientific experiments have proven that all energy...
I think "the good", in the Platonic tradition, is what is desired, or wanted, described by Aristotle as "the end", or final cause. It is the cause of ...
I never said anything about occult energy loss and I haven't the fainted idea what you are talking about. I've never before heard of "occult energy lo...
This is consistent with how Plato originally explained "the good" in "The Republic". It is in a strange way, always outside of knowledge, therefore no...
As I said, the quantity of energy is the product of a calculation derived from measurement and the application of formulae. In all experiments there i...
That's why I use "the ineffable" rather than "some things are ineffable". It's the difference between the general and the particular. We can talk abou...
