But it appears to. As I said, I am not that great at statistics and the manner of presentation is I think unusually as well. In the little studying I ...

I am going to take a while to think this one through. :chin:
August 11, 2020 at 00:40
I am not great at math nor statistics, but I don't think there are 222% of users here in the forum. :smirk:
August 11, 2020 at 00:39
Again, no one disagrees. But are mental state and physical state the same thing? To say that a mental state is physical, then it would have to be cont...

Exactly, the rotation is the result of the energy being used in the motor, just as the mind is the result of energy being used in the brain
August 10, 2020 at 23:54
Would not this be something like saying that the horsepower of a gasoline engine or its rotation occupy space?
August 10, 2020 at 22:58
And that is the problem being discussed, no one disagrees with the rest of it.

So if I decide to give you an answer or leave it and have a beer, there should be something physically different about me? I doubt it.

Sealed with a $10 bill inside. And forget the return address.

Still stuck on the problem of the brain being the mind are you?
August 10, 2020 at 03:04
The mind would change through time based more on its use than on actual time passing. There is an old saying. "Twenty years of experience is not the s...
August 10, 2020 at 03:02
I would love to hear all about this, please explain why you consider this to be true. But the cup does not care because the environment's affect on th...
August 10, 2020 at 02:52
Affected as in not working properly due to age or as in responding to the passing of it?
August 10, 2020 at 02:11
Agreed.
August 10, 2020 at 00:55
But matter and energy are the same thing, just in different states. Everyone knows that energy exists, and no one is saying that it does not. The disc...

I don't have to prove anything because I have not made any declarations that require proof. And what I said does not lead to whether there is somethin...

The fact that space contains information and energy does not make it conclusive that information and energy occupy space.
August 07, 2020 at 14:28
As has been explained earlier, electricity is an effect of the movement of electrons and the electrons are part of the conductive material. The electr...

Maybe so, but the brain is chemicals and energy, exactly where is the information? If the information is the combination and arrangement(conflation) o...

Would seeing an image of Trump or Boris and thinking leader count?
August 06, 2020 at 02:15
So is the mind a hologram? But even if it was, does it occupy space?
August 06, 2020 at 02:11
So if it takes up space and then disappears, where does it goes when it leaves the body?
August 06, 2020 at 02:10
This is interesting, very interesting. May one inquire why you think this?
August 01, 2020 at 23:42
I already knew the answer guys, but because it is the WORD of the DAY common sense would dictate the word be defined or at least used in an example se...

August 01, 2020 at 03:11
What does it mean? Or do I have to google it. :gasp: Google now accepted as a verb. Seems a bit bloody stupid though.
August 01, 2020 at 02:18
Electrical current and electrons are not quite the same, electrical current is the movement of electrons. The electrons would still be in the body but...

Another possible connection of vodka with "water" is the name of the medieval alcoholic beverage aqua vitae (Latin, literally, "water of life"), which...
July 31, 2020 at 01:07
Another fun fact: in English vodka means the water of life, just as does whisky. What does that say about the minds of the people that invent them? Go...

I am only a 66 year old kid, next time someone I don't like too much asks me how to do something I am going to use it as an excuse not to answer.
July 29, 2020 at 01:47
So I suppose you are finding it easy to get ahead in the world, soon to be a millionaire I presume.:smirk:

My map was in English, but the bloody thing was upside down. :worry:

A system where all are truly equal though education would need no control. Ignorance is what allows people to be controlled.
July 28, 2020 at 02:34
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Best excuse I have heard in quite a while.
July 28, 2020 at 02:30
Is there anyone alive that does not?

Trying hard to stay sane. :up:
July 27, 2020 at 00:49
Yep, there is no such thing as a soul.
July 26, 2020 at 22:18
None at all. But some people keep on insisting that the mind "person" can and does exist without the brain. To do so it would need to have a location....
