Thanks for the perspective on philosophical use of the word "soul." Now, I think that, when we deal with Aristotle or Acquinas, we should strive to un...

I can't find much in your comment which I think we really disagree upon. I did say this: "I'm basically a new me everyday," but I didn't mean it so li...

Imagine that you can make two carbon copies of me, but only by destroying the original in the process. Now you can ask whether or not I will survive, ...

Sorry about the slow reply. I think I may have been a little condensed and misleading in the OP, so I've taken some time to work on a clarification. Y...

This is considerably more complete than the mode of thinking I came from originally. Though, I don't quite understand why the conscious mind needs to ...

That's okay :sweat: I practically asked for this comment by oversharing. My bad. I don't have a really good example, sorry. I don't know whether one c...

If you sufficiently deconstruct anything that is actual and thoroughly deconstructible, you will end up with a model of how it works. Such a model mak...

No problem. I'm glad you took it well :yum: Well-received humor lightens a disagreement. Is Dennis 1967-2018 a known temporal order? I already gave yo...

In your opinion, what thing(s) did Dennis 1967-2018 existentially depend on? You don't have to mention Adam and Eve and all that, just the most immedi...

In my opinion, the old sculpture and the new sculpture are sub-existences of a whole time sculpture. To say that the whole time sculpture ceases to ex...

And yet from this quote... ...it would appear that you were interested in having it explored whether or not P1 could be right.

You have a hypothesis that, to my understanding, claims it is possible to find something in the brain that transforms physical information or physical...

In my case the problem specifically concerned qualia, so it was the "hard problem". My change boils down to the realization that the hard problem is n...

Take the example of a modern art sculpture made out of trash. The sculpture is a tower, and near its base is a supportive rotten box of wood that is t...

Hi! I've already posted without introducing myself, but that's because I'm a barbarian. I think I'm not as academical as most members I've encountered...

I don't think you can know what it's like to be a member of a gender in the sense of possessing completely precise knowledge, because people are so in...

If you can argue that it is true, or that it is false, I encourage you to go ahead and make your case. My argumentation hinges on it having unknown tr...

From the phrase "actualized past days," I infer that you probably approach time as a force that actively flows by the present moment. This is compatib...

Not operating independently of the laws of nature, and technically reducible, but it's very hard to predict the emergent behavior by studying the indi...

Can you hypothesize a process whereby causation causes an effect?
August 24, 2018 at 20:01
A good angle. At the opening of the argumentation, I wrote: I chose the wording, "classical inquiry", in avoidance of the word, "science", because I w...

I don't understand what you're objecting to. I haven't spoken of a cause of time. Frankly, I consider time and causality as two sides of the same coin...
