Time or more specifically duration is experienced as a flow of memory pressing into the present. That is what we feel as time. To make things a little...
Having a deeper understanding of life allows one to find a healthier and qualitatively more nourishing life with broad implications. It is analogous t...
You brought it up. Learning to observe has nothing to do with being smart. Learning to pause and ruminate has nothing to do with being smart. Learning...
In a way it is a game and in a way it isn't. They are doing what historians do. As a simple experiment, trying putting together what happened in your ...
I think most historians will say in their preface that they are presenting the situation as they understand it. They will footnote and refer to confli...
Yes. The materialist explanation is: "Don't ask how, it just happen(s)". That's it. The contortions in language that are used in the other similar thr...
We can't. We explore, compare and interpret notes and come up with something based upon all the of assumptions and biases. History is basically the st...
The are no facts about the past. Just what is remembered and shared in individual memories. They are certainly no facts or memory or anything else abo...
The problem of using discrete symbolism to express reality. The quantity wave is continuous and indivisible. Had anyone actually split a quantum want?...
There is no one smarter than anyone else. Philosophy is about developing the observational skills about nature and life, the life we are experiencing....
It depends upon each individual's sensitivity to change. Everyone is different and evolving differently. So I don't know what's you mean by "we". Ther...
Small problem. Nature turns out to be a continuous connected wave. The wave is real. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn26893-wave-function-gets-r...
It's lazy. Philosophy needs patience and insatiable curiosity. Or the other way around. Storytelling is not a life time of exploration and observation...
Not at all. It takes lots of time, patience, and development of keen observation. But who wants to spend their life exploring and discovering? Far eas...
It's not an explanation. It's a punt. Zero discovery because of zero effort. I guess with the time now available one can watch some TV. It's fine. Exp...
It is the same. All evidence of the past comes from the sense if memory in flux. How we acquire it is different and how we share it is variable, but i...
Bits and pieces, I guess depending upon the memory of each person. Mine is pretty cloudy. How else does one think? From what they told you? From what ...
Just underscoring that "It just happened" is no better or worse than "God did it". Neither have any evidence and both are a based upon a certain faith...
Now you are getting it. "It just happens". Remember this for all as scientific explanations for everything. Just remember to write a few hundred scien...
They are the Laws that are everywhere, unchanging and eyeball, know everything that is happening, and guide everything. They are your God. An adjusted...
I don't read about Daoism. I've been practicing it for 30 years. Health practices, arts, meditation, everything. Your ideology is Daoism in a nutshell...
I'm not sure you need to, but that is what you are doing. Let's just say they prefer the word God, while the Determinatist pseudo-scientific preferenc...
Not really. The scientific gibberish masquerading for Daoism. The Daoists are able to say it simply and directly because they aren't trying to cover u...
I don't know, but that is pretty much what is going on, so I accept it. Everyone is making up stories to fit their goal. What's your favorite story ab...
In magic, such a illusion is called sleight of hand. Any Determinist should feel very comfortable in a Calvinist church as long as they substitute the...
Apokrisis has quite specifically advocated a Cosmic Goal manifesting as a Thermodynamics with Purpose. This would be Doaism in a nutshell. He just wan...
This is not determinism How do you perform this magic? Too much Dr. Who. Sure, if one can absorb themselves into this mathematical absurdity. Actually...
Mike, you can watch it on the tape as long as it works correctly. After that you are up the creek. It is all probabilistic. Take a deep breath and rea...
Mike this is my thinking as of now: 1) We have memory which shapes our actions and choices. 2) We make choices as to which direction we wish to go and...
What you have here Mike is a crater and you are filling it with every word and concept in the dictionary. It doesn't provide any understanding just to...
Nice story. What a mess. "You created", choices, free will, determined". I don't think you left anything out. I suppose you could add all of the synon...
You can't. It's all part of the same dogma. Right. You can say anything you want. And Determinism as well as other religions say exactly the same thin...
Well anyone can call supernatural natural. In this manner God is quite natural since S/He is exactly equivalent to Natural Laws. It's all about the na...
They had extremely keen observational skills as did other ancients. But it is much easier teaching parlor games like logic than it is to teach observa...
