Did Dennett say "We can decide" at 4:30? Brushing Dennett's pretzel philosophy aside. We all have beliefs, some we care about more than othekrs, and w...

Where in the equations does it talk about biological aging?

GTR

As I said, numbers can take many forms. It is all how we envision them in memory.

What spaceship engines. The people on Earth don't see any spaceship engines. They only see that they are accelerating away from the little spaceship. ...

You mean the force of gravity. Yes, that is pretty much everywhere.

Fine. While you are waiting, why don't you do some reading also.

Don't we all?

It's alright to feel offended. That is also part of being human. Sometimes I walk away. With a family member, I try to understand. It's different base...

Or, a person on Earth could look at the spaceship and conclude that the Earth is accelerating away from the spaceship.

I would recommend you write to the author of the article refuting his claims. I am sure he welcomes comments from religious zealots.

A number can be many things. It can be careful symbol that we hold on memory. It can be a multiplicity that we hold in memory of something we observed...

I understand that you have your perspective which you feel comfortable with but others may see it differently from their perspective. Have you conside...

You won't find "Spaceship engines" as a variable in any Relativity equations. The rest is literally Sci Fi.

Everyone judges others all the time. You just judged people who you feel are judgemental. No harm, but recognize everyone does it.

My oh my oh my. Someone has to redo a class.

Zero support for determinism anywhere. The reason is that it is a completely fabricated story made up a few hundred years ago. Time to request refunds...

Nope. Each event is probabilistic. The Schrodinger equation is a probability wave.

There isn't a true nature, since everyone is always evolving, though each of us probably do have a core values system which is more difficult to signi...

Causual, yet critical, observation of scientific theories reveal that science is full lot immaterial, including but not limited to, the Observer, forc...

Saddness is the way the Mind knows that change is needed in one's path. Depression is the result of inability or willfulness not to change. It's diffi...

It has become a big part of all cultures ever since curing disease had become a social function and easily monetized. The more diseases, the more mone...

I guess bottom line, as a philosophy Determinism is useless and as science it is a myth. I hope this is a fine demonstration of Mind at its finest.

Yes, as in Natural Selection Muscle as some kind of memory? It's it natural? It's not that I don't understand biology. It is just I am amused by how w...

It's as metaphysical as mind. The rest of your post is just substitution electrical chemical, biochemical, procedurally learning (by a muscle???), for...

Of course it has. It is what is peering out the eyes. Science just used substitution words like natural and Thermodynamic Imperative, as if each of th...

Science doesn't use the word mind, they just use the word brain, disregarding the mind in the gut as well as everywhere else in the body (muscle memor...

The metaphysical element is the denial of Mind.

There is is again: Natural. I am not misunderstanding. I understand why the placeholders are being used. The religious placeholder is God. The Eastern...

I don't believe so. The way I'm reading it is as a "placeholder". That is, we all know we have minds but we aren't going to say it. Too much is at sta...

That's the important word. That's the substitution word for the action of the evolving Mind. Natural Laws Natural Selection Natural Occurring changes ...

This is the key phase. Ones eyes and ears should always perk up when "natural" is used. Just think Mind.

Here is an article that may interest you. https://www.ed.ac.uk/news/2015/dna-020415 "Traits passed between generations are not decided only by DNA, bu...

There is zero support or need for determinism in quantum physics. It is merely a probabilistic equation and it would take some very clever redefinitio...

All causes? Nope only those that technicians feel are significant and can be measured. Again you are confusing what is adequate with absolute precisio...

If you are interested, I'm sure you'll do the necessary research. It's definitely available. It's not how little we know that is being questioned, rat...

Some causes with approximate effects. One mustn't exaggerate for the goal seeking purpose to push a philosophy.

The article was written by a Phd in biology and was obviously simple for public consumption, however if up research the details it will be easier to u...

I agree that whether it be DNA out Quantum Mechanics, neither speaks to the question of Choice (I don't embrace the Free Will nomenclature because it ...

No. It most certainly does not rely on determinism. If it did we would still be denying Quantum Mechanics What science relies on its:1) repeatabiity o...

We don't draw lines out of biases. We just observe. As it turns out, the more we observe the more similarities we find between life - as well as diffe...

The Mind (I should say some Minds) created Determinism (for what ever reason) and there were other Minds that created all tools and symbols necessary ...

Read the article as it traces the origin story. Pretty fascinating with all of the religious overtones (not surprising). Have you been able to figure ...

He would have to be accepted as part of the Thermodynamic Imperative. An apostle no less. But less we forget, that Disorder (the Devil) exists in all ...

No one is too blame. You are just playing out your role as an Apostle proclaiming Truths of Science. But how does it feel being a desciple of Kant? Ra...

It's not mainstream anything. It is just your biased view. Determinists pull out stuff and just present it as "science". Now let's look at the origin ...

What, you think that you know how to discuss philosophy? You have barely scratched the surface. Read about world philosophy so you can go beyond your ...

My own personal question, which others may or may not share with me, is where is the evolutionary advantage in eating Big Macs it watching (and enjoyi...

Right, it says it ain't so, so Determinists, the determined ones that they are, just reinvent their God. If I remember correctly, your small contribut...
