Everything is real but information is a construct of the mind to convey and share with another mind. There is nothing informative about quantum with t...
The difference is that Bergson was direct. He didn't need to invent stuff out of thin air. A philosophy that depends upon Vagueness as its center is a...
A Vagueness Imperative, is not making a case. It is a manufactured phrase designed to replace the word God so as not to upset the sensibilities of "sc...
I don't understand why the long paragraphs. It's quite simple: 1) First there is the Vagueness (the Dao) 2) Then the Dao/Consciousness (Thermodynamics...
It is a good video, but makes the classic mistake in calling It a deterministic theory, which it isn't. It is causal, but the initial conditions (the ...
Continue with your little yarn about Thermodynamics Imperatives. Didn't mean to interrupt your storytelling hour. Definitely much more scientific than...
That's all you've been doing. Spinning a yarn about Thermodynamic Imperative, your God. No different than Whitehead's God. But you like pretending it ...
De Broglie-Bohmian QM does away with wave collapses, since the quantum-potential is real as is the wave perturbation which is observed as the electron...
Oh course. You know nothing about it other than what you read. And you have no idea what you are reading. Daoism and all of philosophy for that matter...
Not at all. It is a precise description of universal change that had lots of practical implications. The problem it's that in Western culture, because...
It's not a minor or side issue. It, along with the collapse of the integrity of our financial institutions, are major social and political issues as m...
This would be more or less Whitehead's viewpoint, only because he acknowledged the creative impulse that was undeniable. Ultimately, it must be incorp...
There is a difference between developing an idea from pure imagination as troubadours do and understanding patterns in nature. It is the difference be...
Apparently this is what is happening. I am suggesting there is a difference between philosophy and fiction writing, not that humans don't get carried ...
Both. Sheldrake refers to it as morphic resonance. Whitehead describes his own version of categories. The underlying phenomenon is persistence of memo...

Philosophers should observe and understand not be caught up in story telling. That is what makes Daoism so interesting and practical. It is about the ...
It's just a story. The story of how chemicals mysticaly began to think, imagine, feel, emote, and create, encouraged by Cosmic Goals and Thermodynamic...
What's going on is the quantum mechanics pretty much put the last nail in the coffin of materialism, physicalism, and determinism. Now is time to begi...
As it may be. I am describing what philosophy means to me. That we exist and continue to create is an observation of life. That there is purpose, nove...
Have you studied this issue? There is nothing to abandon. SR and GR are solutions to measurement problems. They have zero ontological standing. They d...
What distinguishes philosophy from mythology is the former should be peering into existence while the later exercises pure imagination. That is why ph...
Whitehead calls it God. Bergson the Elan Vital. Einstein "the God of Spinoza". Peirce the Mind. The ancients The Dao. It is the Creative Force that is...
You know nothing about Whitehead or what he perceived. You only know your tales about Cosmic Purpose that allow you to hide your spirituality under a ...
So did Einstein when he spoke of the God of Spinoza. It is called intellectual honesty. http://www.wayofspinoza.com/einstein-shares-his-belief-in-spin...
One cannot speak of Whitehead's philosophy without referring to most primordial element if his philosophy. Without this primordial element, his metaph...
You might want to try out mediation or Tai Chi. This is what I'm talking about. Philosophers need to spend more time observing and experiencing, and l...
This is only understood after the fact. Information to Sherlock Holmes' mind is due to the skill developed to discern. It only becomes information onc...
Sand in the beach is not information, nor are rings of a tree. However, patterns noticed in the sand or in the rings may be information if the mind ca...
I expect that we will always be discovering new things. I discover new things every day in my life. As for God, I see no need to create something to r...
We c are still discovering new types of life on this planet in areas we thought life couldn't exist. Have patience. The universe is quite large and th...
It's memory morphing into something new but as it is happening it is already in memory. Potential actions are already in memory. It is not absurd beca...
To be clear, Whitehead was intellectually honest to himself and concluded that there is a God that can be considered one with creative transformation....
Of course, it is all as we experience it. Exactly and precisely. No illusions. No supernatural forces of any kind. If one wishes to understand the nat...
Philosophy has an ancient tradition of observing life and nature as it is experienced and understanding it to build life navigational skills, not some...
It is what created that post you wrote. Or do you think a group of chemicals got together over tea and decided to write it? Incredible what academia c...
Your mind perceives possible actions, but that is all happening in memory flowing into the present. The present is always in the process of becoming b...
Agreed. They are learned and are in memory and will repeat unless overruled. Your description is a precise description that can be directly observed b...
