I saved this one for last. Find a way and sign me up to help.

I live in one, so I have a bit of experience with the topic. Some of the proposed ideas might work, others no. Ban all funding, make the candidates or...

Science says that it is possible, who am I to disagree. Personally I think that like the old song said "you can't have one without the other". Maybe s...

Just curious, where can I find more information about this? Which is why I asked at the beginning for someone to set a proper definition of "a space"....

Exactly. From what I have read, most people think that it is just the bio-chemical functions of the body. I tend to agree with that. I think that it w...

If this is true then the mind, the YOU, is nothing more than a bunch of biological/chemical reactions. How do we control the chemical reactions?

:rofl: :cool:

Are you asking me or trying to get Jesus to help me? :lol: I live in Honduras. The school I work at went virtual in April so I work from home. There i...

Everything you say is true. Golf balls are always in a place, commonly know as a physical/spacial location. If I say I have an idea, it would only mak...

By the same method I can delete all humans from the earth, and there will be no minds. But that does not answer the question that was posed in the OP....

The piece of paper is not the mortgage, only the physical representation of it. Think of a mortgage as a promise, is that physical?

Been better I think. Right now we are suffering from the lockdown. More than four months now and I have left the house twice. The only good things I c...

Paper might fit the definition here.

And this is why I said that before the question can be answered we need a definition of what "a space" actually is. Space for IT people is not the sam...

So if emotions are similar to mathematical operacions, math like data would also have space that it occupies? That does not make much sense.

But if they do not have a location, their mere existence does not mean that they occupy space. as Banno pointed out his mortgage is real, but it does ...

There is a simple solution, buy a flexible hose like those used for washing machines and install it so that the U-bend is about the same shape as the ...

Fine. Data is one of the properties of the brain. But the mind is more than data, it is reaction to data, analyses of data, emotions. Do they have a l...

Nice to see you around. How are you doing?

OK, so the answer to the OP Is yes. The mind then is a property of the brain. Do all properties of an object take up mass of the object?

It should not need a gasket if installed properly. The seal is caused by the difference in the angles of the 2 sections, male and female. The principl...

But they would still be there even if there was no data on the chips. So the data is none existent in the sense that it occupies no extra space.

So does the mind take up space or not? So does the data take up space or not? If your answer is yes to either of the questions above, please tell me h...

So now we have a problem. Let's stay with the computer hard disk for now instead of the brain. A hard disk can be explained in the most simplistic way...

I have no idea, but for the sake of this discussion it would seem necessary to have a clear idea of exactly what is meant by "a space". Is there a dif...

So the mind of a person can be outside of the body? First of all, no one has yet provided any proof of spatial location of the mind, if it were so the...

If there are other minds only implies that they are separate, you cannot conclude that they occupy a space from that. My computer memory does not over...

This reminds me of the guy that wanted his laptop cleaning out completely because it was to heavy to carry. Data in a computer does not occupy any spa...

So basically you think your whole body contains your mind?

Some scientists think that different dimensions occupy the same space at the same time. But that does not answer the question. For the mind to occupy ...

I think it would be a good idea to actually define "a space" first. Exactly what would need to be occupied if the mind was to do so?

:chin: Jeez, even I know that it is called bourbon, not wine. :smirk:

Yep, I got the message.

I used to get potato wine by the gallon. When I had a batch checked it came out as almost 60% alcohol.

Wow, you are reckless! :lol:

Welcome. Philosophy is not so much about the amount of books you have read or the number of lectures you have attended nor the amount of their content...

Honduras Central America Also known as the devil's asshole. But it it really a nice place.

If you cannot log in, how can you post? :wink: Oh, and welcome.

We cannot even go out when we want here. There is a law that says only people with the last number of their national ID can go out on one day of the w...

And I guess my jokes blend in with mine as well. But I really cannot tell the difference between sarcasm and humor sometimes. :smirk:

Hey Tiff. I am not at all happy about this freaking lockup or lockdown, whatever you want to call it. I have left the house only once in these last 3 ...

Is that some sort of problem? It has not bothered anyone so far. Everyone has managed to contribute some kind of bullshit, so I doubt anyone else is w...

Now that is hilarious. :rofl: :lol:

I did a few of those a few years ago. On one I got over 140, another gave me high 80's and everything in between. Maybe the people that made them were...

Too many people come here, act stupid then bitch about the moderators. not fair. They do at least warn you if you are going in the wrong direction and...

Keep on rocking lady. I am beginning to wonder if hell might be better. Last week it was almost a hundred, temperature and humidity. You could not bre...

Lucky you, I wish that I could say that. Happy birthday. :party:

Some evidence of this would be nice, and something more concrete than what you think. Is that not what I just said? So you imagine her and get a hard ...

Luck is nothing more than the coincidence of circumstances and time. Circumstances are about you, your physical condition, education, age, the effects...
