Well at least something is clear.

Still not seeing how 'measurement' means anything different at all in QM, unless one arbitrarily decides that it does. But that is also one's prerogat...

Ok, you've totally lost me now. Lucky QM physicists who are exempt from answering good questions.

But what exactly is a measurement absent a conscious agent to calculate a measurement from the reactive apparatus, if that apparatus itself is observe...

It's curious that you describe him as an excellent scientist, while his science was dismissed earlier by apokrisis as being 'crank.' In any case, that...

I'll concede that I'm not well-versed in quantum theory. So please elucidate: how does QM explain the process by which a table lamp is observing? I ca...

This would seem to be a radical redefinition of the word 'observer.' Surely any claim whatsoever can be rationalized, if you arbitrarily redefine word...

ESL class dismissed ... Don't forget your homework :wink:

Wow, this is a tough crowd ! If Kastrup is execrable, what does that make me ?

I can only give a very intuitive take on the idea of the Soul, or Oversoul, not especially derived from any given philosophy or spiritual tradition, p...

I have investigated the idea of the soul from the perspective of various versions of Idealism, from Plato to Kant, but for the most part I'm none the ...

I also resonate with what you have to say here. My point about how science may or may not influence the cultural ethos and narrative can be illustrate...

Once again, you make some valid points. No doubt it's not cut and dried why folks believe what they believe, but messy, complicated and nuanced. And i...

That would seem to be the case ... so be it. I don't see it as any less valid than my experience, but just accept that it too plays its integral role.

More to the point about referring to the void. It seems that what you are actually trying to convey is the idea of space, or spaciousness, that which ...

Well perhaps the void could effectively be worked into it. However, in a strictly metaphysical sense, the void, by definition, would be entirely empty...

Don't get me wrong. It's a very good attempt for someone who has taken on the significant challenge of learning a new language. So kudos for taking on...

Due to the issues with syntax, grammar, spelling and punctuation, I'm guessing English is not your first language. So assuming you've been studying it...

Thanks for the feedback ... all quite cogent insights, which I look forward to pondering more deeply. I certainly respect your caution regarding not w...

Ok, that is weird ... Thanks for your attention and the restoration :)

I suppose it’s true enough to say that many so-called facts are at best true enough under the provisional circumstances, and are thus always subject t...

You may indeed make a valid point, although even as a computer engineer he is also very dubious about the cyber-age culture that underlies the attempt...

Thanks for your constructive analysis -- though I'm still a bit bemused that apparent 'cranks' get consideration in Scientific American, and seemingly...

I came across him in book form, not via a cursory google search. However, forget google, did you check out even one of the several peer-reviewed paper...

Well, clearly it caught your attention, and dozens of reviewers on Amazon, so perhaps that's the intention. In any case, it's one title out of six, an...
