Thanks to yin-yang dynamics demonstrably ruling reality as we know it pattern matching rules the universe including the human brain and applies to wha...

I've had multiple poems deleted because academic philosophy doesn't value the written word unless it promotes the agenda of the wealthy and powerful a...

Reality without dreams is just somebody's nightmare, while dreams without reality are someone else's fantasy. Stay awake long enough and you will hall...

Teaching without words is merely how we express the self-evident truth that the greater context of the truth only asserts itself within the silent voi...

The role of philosophy in academia is to promote the interests of the wealthy and powerful establishment, while the role of philosophy outside of acad...

Nah, you can argue that reality and any other concept is ultimately nebulous because its impossible to know your own mind just like its impossible to ...

You mean, by definition, a dogmatic realist expresses an irrational belief in reality because they can only take the existence of reality on faith.
November 29, 2016 at 00:25
Yeah, but Lao Tzu wrote it down despite saying that the Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao and teaching without words is the more profou...

Quantum mechanics and Relativity are accurate to over 14 decimal places and modern Standard Theory is the foundation of any measurements made today in...

Nor do we have 4 dimensional dilithium crystals, but the essential idea remains the same that we can use a machine to replicate things in our own home...

The objective measure is that the concepts are context dependent. If I say, "She's hot!" I could be talking about anything from a good looking woman t...

The dictionary makes the distinction between natural and synthetic, or natural and man-made. We make babies, but they're supposedly made by God or nat...
November 28, 2016 at 02:04
That's known as a category mistake and is basic logic 101. When you can no longer identify that you have identified nothing you have personal bullshit...
November 28, 2016 at 02:00
It means that both thermodynamics and Relativity have to be adapted to quantum mechanics. Thermodynamics, like I said, is an ad hoc collection of diff...
November 28, 2016 at 00:07
The second law of thermodynamics is the last hold out for the arrow of time, while the mathematics of quantum mechanics show no preference for the arr...
November 28, 2016 at 00:03
Bullshit, the second law of thermodynamics is the only holdout ever for causality with all of the rest of the known fundamental equations showing no p...

If you want a replicator you can buy the first home commercial 3D printers. Its just a start, but there are already a dozen different 3D printers that...

There is no "statistical" explanation or any other for time flowing backwards. That the energy can't be used for productive purposes merely means that...

The second law of thermodynamics has been violated in the laboratory using a micron sized silica bead. You can't use the energy for any useful purpose...

Like Socratic wisdom, Taoism merely made the crossover between ancient tribal wisdom and modern civilization. The interesting part is that what many h...

In Africa they've already done experiments with teaching kids how to program. They were successful, but the kids had no real use for the knowledge wit...

November 27, 2016 at 19:42
The subject has too much literature to mention here. My own belief is our existence is paradoxically both united and divided, one and legion. Electron...
November 27, 2016 at 19:38
No, the idea is that we are mere mortals and such things can only be taken on faith because they remain indemonstrable. A black hole has an event hori...

The first quantifiable theory of humor has already established its validity with empirical evidence by describing what is observable. That's what quan...

My own view is we are staring into the abyss and logic actually revolves around what is missing from this picture or, bullshit if you prefer. Hence, o...

It will be another twenty years before the computers can spit out the numbers, and probably a hundred before they'll collected most of the basic infor...
November 27, 2016 at 18:13
Would you rather that God could create rock bigger than even he can lift? Yin-yang dynamics rule existence as we know it.
