That is what I mean when I said that it makes the mind necessary for matter to be definite

Sounds like panpsychism to me. People like to diss it but I actually really like the theory. They cite the "Combination problem" as this massive dagge...

As far as I know that is exactly what it suggests. The uncollapsed "result" is measured by a measuring system which then prints it to the paper at whi...

I said many not all. Quantum interpretations that involve mind are generally not popular

So I guess all forms of qualia are not part of reality? They're not matter are they?

I think it depends on how you define it. The way you defined it would have me say "I don't know". The way I see it your definition implies that there ...

There is nothing logically inconsistent with an electron displaying wave and particle properties. Paradox: a seemingly absurd or contradictory stateme...

It's this definition that is the issue. Omnipotent can just be defined as "Can do everything that is possible" and now there are no problems.

I think there are 3 ways to resolve this: 1- God doesn't exist/ Isn't omniscient 2- People do not have free will 3- Free will and knowing the future d...

trust me it doesn’t. Or at least it doesn’t make sense even after rereading it 5 times over

Because they say they don’t want to deny life. And since not having sex IS denying life, they must have sex all the time. Dude. Wtf? Seriously? “Since...

Can =/= must. I think you might not be understanding what I’m saying. The pro life argument of “Abortion is a denial of life which is wrong” is bad be...

I never said this I said that “denial of life” is an argument that would lead to this. Since if it were a valid argument one would be “denying life” e...

Actual numbers or this is meaningless. I don’t understand what you’re getting at I cannot for the life of me see how these two examples relate in any ...

Not all mothers resent when a fetus is referred to as it. I’m willing to wager most don’t care. I believe fetuses do not in fact have personhood. They...

I honestly can’t tell if this is a joke or not. “since nothing cannot occupy any space since its size is zero” what? Physical things have sizes. Nothi...

It just seems weird to me that you would do that then. It’s like if newton was coming up with the laws of physics then suddenly said “but of course th...

Well if you add up all the suffering of 7 billion people over long periods of time it would be more than the nuke eventually. Especially considering t...

With NU I can’t justify NOT nuking the entire world of you get the chance much less not killing children. Certainly severe suffering now is better tha...

You can SAY that but that goes in the face of your theory doesn't it? Firstly, you didn’t imply it was the default you explicitly said that it was wha...

not in between. But you said explicitly on multiple occasions in your paper that the event of death is not followed by any other events. That’s where ...

I don’t know about Christianity either but at least in Islam there is an event where everyone who ever existed is packed into a “room” and judged indi...

I haven’t finished reading it yet but here are my thoughts about half way through: First off, I think you’ve provided a plausible theory but not a pro...

I don’t know where you got that. Care to elaborate?

Until we can develop some way to measure if something is conscious or not I think this is all speculation with no evidence. As it stands I don’t know ...

This seems to me to imply that since the child has no freedoms whatsoever then malicious genetic editing is not against their consent. Sure you can sa...

Technically true yes but that doesn't mean it's not wrong. It's wrong in the same way that setting a bear trap in a public place is wrong. Even though...

I hear this a lot. Can I ask you a question instead? Is it ethical to genetically engineer a child to suffer? As in purposely giving them genetic dise...

“Non existent beings” is a contradiction in terms. The only way anyone would be harmed by someone not having children is if there were magical ghost b...

It would be weird to regard them as equally indicative or not equally indicative. That would assume there is some function which you can give an ontol...

I don’t think there is such a sweet spot. Someone can explain all of physics by referring to a God that moves things on a whim and that the reason the...

An antinatalist never says this. Antinatalism isn’t about putting people in a better situation (assumed to be non existence). It’s about NOT putting p...

I don’t think that question remains answerable when asked in succession enough without forming circular logic. I think there is at least one “pivot” t...

I’m not saying the preexistence of spirits is impossible I’m saying we don’t nearly have enough evidence to assume it

none of what you are sending requires the existence of spirits. It could still be explained in terms of genetics and nurture. I don’t know why you thi...

Tell me exactly what you mean by “character” and why you think it takes so long to develop. I don’t know what young Mozart was like so I don’t know wh...

What problems are there with many individual bobs in many individual rooms rather than one universal Bob that somehow looks into all the rooms simulta...

also lends credibility to genetic theory. Some people will just be born with the right genes for the right environment to be considered geniuses. Ther...

I can get behind some sort of “experiencer” being in everyone but I don’t get how it is “universal”. I never got “universal self” even though I hear i...

I keep bringing this up when people ask “would you rather not have been born”? There is no situation in which I get to choose between existing and not...

I have no idea who that is but maybe he meant that people are inclined to dryly answer philosophical questions at the beginning and to defend the answ...

well when something that was animated becomes inanimate doesn’t it mean that it is no longer alive? You seem to be implying that although the body is ...

A living being becomes inanimate object after they die no? So I’m not sure what you mean

"A living being is created so it can't die" makes no sense to me. Care to explain?

First off, no matter what you say people will still be afraid of death, or at least avoid it. We're built that way. And secondly, you assume that deat...

That being combative about it (or any topic for that matter) just gives everyone involved headaches. To be able to tell when someone wants to have a d...

I think any question in philosophy can cause the same reaction as that one. That one is just the most common affliction. I have a case of "Is morality...

I think there are 2 kinds of words: ones with “composite” meaning and ones that serve as pointers. “Pointer” words are those that cannot really be def...

Oh I thought the last line was you talking not Anscombe. My bad.

“ But for that reason and because the contrary pain soon disappeared, it can’t really be counted as self-harm.” When someone self harms they are doing...
