I just don't believe in making up stuff just because it doesn't fit my agenda. If you don't like what he wrote, then just move on and find someone els...

Just read what he wrote. I don't think it needs much deciphering.

Self-awareness is but one other thing that we can do to amuse ourselves. A game of hide-and-seek.

To each his own.

Observe the patterns of life, from baby to adult. Observe what everyone is doing from the moment life springs until it is extinguished. Observe what w...

The measurement of the simultaneity of events is not absolute, because it requires the sending of a signal. This is a measurement problem. Thanks to p...

This is pretty much it. Daoism in a nutshell. We are here to create and take joy in our creations. And we share our creations in art galleries, music ...

Fundamentally we are memory. It provides us with the sense of continuity of existence. But there may be a bit more. I'm contemplating the possibility.
January 30, 2018 at 03:34
We change but we have memory - of all sorts. Certain aspects of ourselves change more quickly than others.
January 30, 2018 at 03:11
From a philosophical perspective I try to stay, as much as possible, as close as possible to actual observations. Life can be of many forms, we know t...

Real life science demonstrated. This is how it is really done.
January 29, 2018 at 21:49
Well, that is pretty silly. As silly as suggesting chemistry comes before mind. No matter that no one ever suggested this. Time to start observing lif...

There is the point of view that inevitable leads to fantastical conclusions as reached by over zealous readers of Relativity. What started out as some...

No such animal in this universe. Inapplicable to the study of nature. It is only a game to pass the time - which is perfectly fine as long as it is re...

THERE ARE NO STATES in continuous movement. Zeno's paradoxes smartly demonstrate this. States are a construct of the mind to solve practical problems....
January 29, 2018 at 18:37
One has to be cognizant of other minds. We are not alone. There is mind/life everywhere and it would be jumping too far to believe that we are able to...

About measuring dead things, that is all. Einstein (actually, it was probably his wife) used some crazy mathematics to describe the effects that gravi...
January 29, 2018 at 18:29
To give it the emphasis it deserves. I use lowercase for things like rocks and particles. Too much religious worship of dead things like computers lik...
January 29, 2018 at 18:16
Fair enough. Just something to contemplate then. The "more" can be a continuum of differences. Matter may be just a form of mind as Peirce and Bergson...
January 29, 2018 at 18:12
Purpose is the essence of Life. The purpose is to create, observe, learn, and evolve. To have fun. There is no religion here, just simple observation ...
January 29, 2018 at 18:06
We are minds within minds within minds - as there are waves, within waves within waves. Consciousness and unconsciousness are exactly as they are expe...

When they accelerate a person to the speed of light, let me know what happens. What I object to it's flight of fantasies replacing actual observations...

Or the slave labor in Africa, Latin America or Asia.
January 29, 2018 at 17:03
There are millions of pay gaps but only one counts. All manufactured political distraction.
January 29, 2018 at 17:02
Just follow the Pied Piper. You want to talk about pay gaps? Let's talk about the slave black labor in prisons created by the Clintons and their allie...

Keep following the misdirection, I'm sure it will get better for the top 1%.
January 29, 2018 at 16:35
There is only one type of pay gap, and that is between the top 1% which owns the majority of the world's wealth and the other 99% that are witnessing ...
January 29, 2018 at 16:33
You just made the same error of equivalence between physical process and the process of duration which by nature is continuous and heterogenous. Where...
January 29, 2018 at 14:32
It is a simple observation. If you noticed any thing that is not changing it any person that is not creating let me know. (There actually is non-durat...
January 29, 2018 at 14:28
Suit yourself. If you wish to believe a god created the Universe instead of Mind, that is your call. The difference being that Mind is there while a g...
January 29, 2018 at 14:23
No such thing as atoms. Everything is entangled. Academia still teaches 17th century physics because it helps the materialist cause. Yes something is ...
January 29, 2018 at 05:57
All this says is that clocks are affected by gravity. I'm not surprised. But this has nothing to do with duration of life. This is what Bergson and ot...

Creation it's very profound and fundamental. It describes what we (our minds) are doing throughout our lives - forum posts being but one example. The ...
January 29, 2018 at 03:40
Too know thyself, that is the question. We are an observer of ourself as are others. Who am I? It is called process of constant discovery which change...
January 29, 2018 at 01:06
It's not that difficult. It's right there. From Peirce's Law of the Mind (note the title of the article): "I have begun by showing that tychism must g...
January 29, 2018 at 00:38
I just observe my mind doing its thing. For some reason Descartes gets credit for this observation even though the ancient cultures pretty much observ...
January 29, 2018 at 00:18
Everything is continuously changing. Science just approximates. Problems arise when people start substituting approximations (for some practical appli...
January 28, 2018 at 23:44
Ok. Everything is constantly changing. No need to make it more complicated than that. If you v want to say there is one and only one BIG STATE of chan...

So what did? It just happened? Ok. Everything just happened. No you don't have to go to a psychologist. You just like envisioning yourself as some bou...

It has form that is constantly changing. There is no state, ever, there is continuous change.

It's Sunday. Time to go to church and worship the Brain.
January 28, 2018 at 16:38
Didn't realize your point is that the body is living and is constantly healing itself. It is intelligent. Every single part of the body has intelligen...

Maybe money? I figure that may be the reason why opioids are still "rationally" being prescribed even though they are killing 10s of thousands of peop...

There is no objective state of affairs. Everything is in continuous flux. We are all involved and sharing experiences. And when the heck did I ever us...
January 28, 2018 at 16:06
There are no states. Everything is continuous. This idea of states is a symbolic concept that may be of practical use but does not describe the univer...

There Mind is creating new forms by use of will and it is recognizing and conceiving forms by use of memory but it is not annihilating. The universe i...

I have no idea what Laws you are experiencing. I am (my mind) is experiencing all kinds of things, but certainly not Laws. The Mind made up the Laws o...
January 27, 2018 at 20:15
There are no Laws of Nature (totally manufactured concept) and life (mind) is continuous.
