I would say a creative intelligence that underlies everything. One way to visualize this would be to envision quanta as being that intelligence creati...
Creative intelligence would be the vital force of life (Bergson's Elan vital) that is self-motivated and is continuously experimenting, exploring, and...
The most outstanding feature of evolutionary theory is not only the magical moment that things all of a sudden start coming to life and self-organizin...
I agree with your analysis. I can only respond by saying that I had a few experiences in my life when I fell into a non-memory state (unconscious) onl...
This doesn't really lead anywhere, other than, as you suggest, a never ending debate. One can take the stance that: A) there are outside omniscient, o...
If you read Bergson (try to avoid interpretations) you will find that he is not a dualist. We are duration that is evolving. Matter would be moving in...
Observation can move to nothing (as it does while asleep and not dreaming), but as long as memory is preserved memory can be once again be reawakened....
I know. And you are here to give us the scientific facts. You have 4 months to live. You have 2 years to live. The universe has 1 trillion years to li...
This is not a subject that I've explored. There is strong cultural pressure not to talk or believe in such things. There is also some economic incenti...
Yes, I agree. The difference between what we know if as awakening from a dream and awakening as a birth is the type of memory that is preserved, thoug...
Oh, I understand. I'm just a bit more curious. And a few more years of studying nature you will find that evolution of the mind is continuous. It is, ...
You are a mess. I said no preferred frames of reference. The muon can be said to be at rest and thus there is no effect on its decay. Who the heck am ...
Not even the beginning of interesting. People can live their life with zero curiosity about the nature of life, but I have found it extremely benefici...
Silly, silly. STR says no preferred frame of reference. The humans are the ones accelerating. Muon at rest. No effect on muon decay. So, sorry. BTW, I...
Heck, anyone who can predict as fact what will be happening billions upon billions (maybe trillions) of years from now has to be .... well, just a rem...
Laughing hysterically. Looks like? Deceleration? STR? I noticed some members actually take you seriously. Well, heck millions believe politicians why ...
I don't know whether I should laugh or cry. I am sure many members are awaiting breathlessly for the final verdict on what will happen billions and bi...
There isn't such a thing. Some people do, others don't. There is no need. Another question and probably more interesting metaphysical question is why ...
"looks like"? Zero ontological implications. The human beings are decaying slower from the muon's point of view. No real change in the muon's decay ra...
No. I understand it very well. No preferred frame of reference. Period. The muin is not moving faster, it is the observers. The muons aren't decaying ...
No. I did fine. I just observed those that were the best at parroting got the best grades. Zero ability to question the obvious. After all the "A" is ...
What you think I don't understand? I think you did a beautiful job of articulating the scientific explanation: "It all just happened over a very, very...
Oh, I forgot, it just happened over a very, very long period of time. That makes it infinitely more scientific as opposed to the seven day Biblical ve...
It must hurt that all effects are relativistic. The muon isn't decaying faster, the human on Earth is because the human is actually the one accelerati...
They are repeatable only to the extent that there always had to be an aspect of the experiment that is unknown. Heisenberg Principal. Hence the inform...
Nope. No preferred frame of reference. Everything remains the same in it's own frame of reference. It is the core of relativity. Sorry you have to loo...
The all encompassing "it just happens" theory for everything. Now, is this any better than the biblical explanation? It's actually nothing. We're simp...
Relativity says no preferred frame of reference. Period. I have no idea why you brought relativity into muon decay. It is irrelevant. Relativity is ab...
Yes, life (mind) had to be fundamental unless one believes that it is possible to mix some lifeless chemicals together and magically life springs from...
Probability can still be baked in the universe even with a causal interpretation. The cause may be inherently probabilistic, which is one of the possi...
The only scientific equation that we have that speaks to causality is quantum theory. It is probabilistic. Nothing is repeatable. Some much, much less...
You talk about brains, and neurons, and gravity, and circuitry sounds very scientific and creates a lot of gravitas, but at the end has nothing to do ...
No, it is still offshoot of Calvinism that was concocted to push a particular economic interests knowing full well the psychology of their target mark...
Yes, there is a mountain of evidence that if you damage a TV circuit, it will alter the picture not the TV studio where shows are actually produced. T...
If you attempt to predicate Free Will upon Morality you only create new problems which in experience simply do not exist. Free will is no more and no ...
If you can find something that is lower than the mind that doesn't require a leap of faith then go for it. It is there in everyone's lives, it is lear...
One can only stop for a moment and behold in the amazement of one's own mind, that cannot only create tools such as lawnmowers, grills, and computers,...
To promote the idea that humans only purpose is to procreate falls in line with any anti-gay agenda. Beyond this, it is so hopelessly empty that is ce...
A computer does not detect a face and certainly cannot be aware of one. A computer can only process on/off. It is the programmer (a human) that gives ...
Nah. Just ridiculously antigay and advice that is useless to anyone who cannot have or decided not to have children. Come to think of it, probably eve...
