Good is that which we usually associate with love, compassion, understanding, unity. Evil is that which we usually associate with fear, indifference, ...
Good questions, thanks for asking. We also have an intuitive notion of law, but isn’t it the case that it is will that creates law? The laws that soci...
I mentioned some of them in the post above, it’s important to read the whole of it. Love, compassion, understanding, attractive forces are forces that...
Let’s forget about good and evil for a moment and just talk about unity and separation. I think you can agree that there are forces within us and with...
Yes, but maybe the question "what the word really is independent of anyone perceiving it" is meaningless, maybe there has to be some being in order fo...
That's not what I said either, I said we cannot all be seeing things as they are (otherwise there would be no disagreement), and I also said we cannot...
Yes illusions can occur in all of perception, not just vision, by the word "see" I was referring to the whole of perception not just what we see when ...
I think what could be agreed upon is that the world we see is an appearance, an image of something more fundamental than the image, and that this imag...
If we somehow launch the house-sized dice fast enough it isn’t clear that we could predict individual outcomes accurately, because again an extremely ...
It doesn’t take 100% accuracy to put men on the moon. Also modeling gravitation in space is much easier than modeling all frictions on a dice thrown i...
It is interesting to read the story of how Augustine converted to Christianity: Is it more coherent to see the issuance of a decree of death for thous...
Yes I agree that one can love without attachment, however what I ultimately meant is that if we aren’t attached to love and to life, destructive force...
Hedonism is about pleasure and pain. Pleasure is not the same as happiness, pain is not the same as suffering, they are unmistakable, if you’re confla...
It really isn't obvious that this model accurately represents what goes on in reality, we can come up with plenty of different mathematical models sta...
The underlying difficulty is we don't know what other minds experience, we attempt to guess it based on how they behave, how they look, how they sound...
And one of the reasons there is a war on drugs (on some drugs really) is that there is another cartel that governs us and that makes a lot of money by...
That’s the one thing I disagree with in Buddhism. While I agree with the idea that attachment to desire leads to suffering, how can there be love with...
One could argue that war contributes to evil instead of stopping it. Fighting suffering with suffering does not stop suffering, fighting fear with fea...
Do you agree that saying there are two universes that satisfy theory T does not necessarily imply that the two universes actually exist? That is my po...
Okay, but then it seems you assume that this set of rules existed prior to the universe which would be an instantiation of these rules, whereas we hav...
I assume this is the paper https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5731606/ The problem is described in this quote, basically it is the problem o...
Shouldn't it be that a ToE is a model of the world rather than the other way around? I would say if we have free will then we have the freedom to crea...
From what you outlined his argument boils down to "if everything can be doubted then conspiracy theories can be doubted too, and what can be doubted s...
That’s okay, thanks for listening. I’m just going to clarify something for those who might be interested (you don’t have to reply if you don’t want to...
I suppose it would be more accurate to say that Good gives love and acts towards unity, whereas Evil gives suffering and acts towards separation. Evil...
Some people have felt/seen God, pure love. Some people have felt/seen the Devil, pure Evil. Indeed these would be absolutes and not relative, they wou...
You are assuming that Evil suffers. If Evil wants pure suffering, why would it suffer from the lack of it? Evil cannot feel Good or else it wouldn’t b...
Good is that which loves, which wants to unite and to create happiness, whereas Evil is that which hates, which wants to separate and to create suffer...
I've thought about the subject for a long time, I believe there are things you could learn from me on that subject, I might learn some things from you...
I don't know why you make a distinction there. In both cases measurements are involved, in both cases the measurements can change (the shape of an obj...
Space can be defined in various ways, let's go with your definition (state it precisely so we can be on the same page). Strictly speaking I wouldn't s...
I hear what you’re saying, but I disagree, which is another instance of us talking past each other, and you’ll probably disagree with me disagreeing, ...
We're talking past each other here. Sure if you want let's say that there is space between objects and that objects occupy space. You agree that this ...
And as I explained, that's the same as saying that a binary star is full of empty space, rather than simply saying that it is two stars orbiting one a...
You can also talk of the center of gravity of two distinct bodies such as binary stars, and treat them as one cohesive body, but it's not necessary, y...
Yea, but this isn't due to climate change, this is due to overconsumption, intensive farming, deforestation, heavy use of pesticides. https://www.theg...
Well you can, it's just some models are simpler than others. But "simpler" is subjective, and it doesn't mean "closer to truth". The double-slit exper...
It isn't. One could very well define the mind as precisely the thoughts/desires/observations/... that are experienced, rather than as some separate th...
You can have contact action without assuming space to be a concrete substance. As an analogy, if I throw a ball at you and it hits you there is no spo...
The problem is that if you give him every time he asks, he will start thinking (more or less subconsciously) that whenever he fucks up financially you...
It seems your concern boils down to the realization that if each person has their own reality then there is no absolute reality you and everyone else ...
I want you to see that you're wrong not because I want to boost my ego or win an argument, but for your own good, because I care about you. I care abo...
One does not have to see a desire as a "deprived state", that's your own personal interpretation. One can desire something and not see what is desired...
I gave 3 quotes of his in my previous post, the first one is from his book Ideas and Opinions, the second one from his book The Meaning of Relativity,...
When I say the trajectory bends it's a figure of speech, it's the same as saying that light doesn't travel in straight lines. Whereas you're saying li...
That's what I guessed, but I wasn't sure because a lion doesn't necessarily have animosity. Leo is simply my first name. As to why I'm rarely seen, th...
You're the one reducing life to a "growth-through-adversity" game, I understand that's how you see life, but understand that that's not how many peopl...
