'Free will' sounds like a good thing to have, yet references to it without definition are meaningless. One, trivial, but common definition is that the...
Guys, many of us know that believing in something doesn't necessarily make it true and that still acting as if it were true is not very honest. Althou...
The fixed will is that of the instant, 'voting' as it has become up to then; however, the fixed will is dynamic—it can change to a new and different f...
Here is a probably meaningless dimensional analysis equation if 'c' is a ratio: (externally, 4D block) as dddd / ('c' light speed) as d/t = (internall...
No, a process is a good idea. I got it from my maybe garbled notes and perhaps 'processism' shouldn't be there or should have been something else. I s...
Not substantivalism, but relationalism, because there's no empty space; 'space' doesn't exist in addition to something else. Space-time literally is E...
Time is mostly constituted by us; take music, for example, from my own Rubaiyat: Memory’s traces recall the last heard tone; Sensation savors what is ...
This demolishes claims of infinite divisibility, and so Zeno's hare beats the tortiose. Analog falls, digital rises; there is no continuum. As for mor...
Time's speed changes when we go higher or lower, faster or slower. Heck if I know, but maybe dark energy was always around but was dominated by gravit...
Rovelli has it that space-time is Einstein's gravitational field. Rovelli is trying to model the spacetime quanta with 'loops' and 'spin-foams'. All t...
This is Relationalism, which I like. All seems to have to be relative/relational, since there is no outside or before Totality, thus no absolute ruler...
Um, how about that timeless spaceless photons made everything at once, in no time, and so we must now be experiencing in a time-dilated broadcast of o...
I lean toward this lately, because existence, having no opposite/alternative would have to all be there, as everything, not just some of it; however, ...
What always comes back to haunt me about the seemingly impossible Void is that most everywhere in physics a zero-sum balance of opposites seems to be ...
Something like that, but the timeless 'IS' already has everything (possible) all at once, with no initial state. I wasn't really pushing many worlds. ...
Helpful effort, or love, defines what’s good; Goodness, taken to extreme, is called ‘God’; Evil, or harm excess, names the ‘Devil’; Laziness, as neith...
Since all the paths are superposed, there is no particular state, as all the states are there all at once. Most of the paths lead to not much, such as...
Seems we skeptics already know and expect that the firmer believers won't give up, as their belief-wires have already solidly wired together from firi...
Support for only the Natural being so: Everywhere we look, we see but the natural. Nothing appears out of the ordinary after the repeat occurrences, s...
Yes, as I've mentioned recently, although overall we remain mired in the temporal. or, if we are really traversing the eternal's pseudo-temporal we ca...
It appears that for anything to be, it first has to be possible (to have potential), although the timeless has no 'first', about which I don't know wh...
We make things, like computers, from stuff out there and they work out there, for one, and two, we have senses also as to be able to take things in fr...
This 'God' cannot be approved of and thus cannot be accepted and followed, for then what integrity would we have? Not much, for He is a bad role model...
Since presentism has some problems, we are leaning toward eternalism herein. If we take Parmenides’ view, as Einstein did, time is completely left out...
Or we spatialize some great distance when there really isn't any. Should we continue about the Great 'IS'? If so, I'm going to replace my use of 'tran...
It probably shows that relations are more primary than distance. Space, then, is not something in itself, but only the span of the relations/connectio...
When one derives a truth, the proof (the "work") isn't needed, although it would be nice. I've always been for presentism, and like Lee Smolin's take,...
Yes, it needs be necessarily permanent/eternal, due to that there is something here and to that existence has no alternative. It cannot be still, else...
So, then, there had to be a causeless eternal basis, as there can be no opposite to being. An 'IS'. Case closed. What can be inferred about that which...
Could it be that the qualia-type product surely indicates that the brain at some point in its progression through higher and higher modules has to gen...
Causes ever behind effects leads to an infinite regress; so, let 'random' be where the buck stops, all thereafter being deterministic. Or, let the bas...
Possible 'God' derivation history—an assortment to ponder, from my draft extensions to the Rubaiyat in the religious area: The Christian concept of re...
While we don't see a brain or anything as it really is, this doesn't undermine investigation, for we can be sure that the mind paints a useful face on...
I recall something from somewhere: Since all fetuses begin as female, the intended-for-male instructions for masculinizing the brain and the body can ...
Hello Dfpolis. Good Op with some good reasoning. The golden template of being having our lessor being coming from a greater Being is not what we obser...
Hello to all philosophers, Although one only ever experiences a model of reality in one's mind, this serves well enough for operational purposes. In g...
