The question is: Does the object out there have our emotions? Hearty,

Is gravity objective? Before Newton, geometry (circle) was the driving "force" behind movements of celestial objects. So Copernicus proposed the helio...

Maybe the science can help... We will be hard pressed to remember what we had for lunch last Monday - unless that was an emotional event or completely...

The two statistical, entangled wavicles have at least differences in how they relate to all other wavicles in the universe. This eludes some physicist...

I state again that we "forgot" Gödel's theorem - that there are truths in a closed system that cannot be derived from other truths within the system. ...

Some types of meditation can be taught and then independently verified. Otherwise, I agree that presently we do not even have a clue how to do that......

It is hard to quantify how many subjective views we need to achieve "objective" status. I would say two minimum without objections. Hearty,

A belief is objective if more then one subjective believes are agreed upon. (That is the power of peer-review.)

"More objective" does not really express the uniqueness. For example: --- Short History of Australian Landscape Painting --- Older paintings were exac...

Nothing guarantees that tomorrow you will not need a difference and find a better abstraction... Hearty,

Yes: Since Libet's results started to trickle out, there were speculations that we do not have free will... What??? My free will is useless - I'll giv...

Tentatively agree. I would also suggest that we can experience the infinity. (Example: Aldous Haxly - The Door of Perception. Some types of meditation...

I wasn't under impression that we were discussing an "infinite mind". Unique (impossible) phenomena can be managed indirectly as infinite sets are man...

To grasp nonconsciousness we need to define consciousness first: Consciousness is quite narrow - 7±2 items at the time. Nonconsciousness is everything...

Maybe it will help to define "objectivity". Objectivity is an agreed (but vaguer) form of more than one subjectivities. This is what peer-view is aimi...

Free will is like a dance. We acquired the dance movements and simply dance in the tune of music. Acquired means that we internalised (made habitual) ...

Sorry, I thought that it was clearly spelling it out. For your benefit: Hope that your anticipation is now elevated... Enjoy the day,

I would not involve God as yet. As long we keep God outside of picture - and try to resolve our problems ourselves - we will prosper. With reliance on...

Prototyping is also dangerous. Think about racial and similar biases manifesting (mostly nonconsciously) in our dealings with the "same" people. Such,...
August 07, 2018 at 06:47
On the contrary. I stress that although there is an infinite set of differences - we tend to disregard them and establish similarities. However, the f...

It is rather an upside-down opposite to mathematical singularity. Mathematical objects (including singularity) are rather derived from natural phenome...

The counting is simple, regardless of unnoticed "miracle". We simply "forget" differences If it were repeatable causes and effects, then the planted a...

I'll take it as "good natured jest". It is not only me, there are others working on it. For example; The monotonic logics are being replaced by non-mo...
August 07, 2018 at 05:42
A suggestion – you obviously imply the static, monotonic logics. Once you derive a conclusion – there is no way to correct it based upon new informati...
