Buddha, apparently suggested that this should not be, which is possibly why he wrote nothing down. But, people being people need someone to worship an...
It's hopeless, but it is a way to pass life. Definitions without agreement on some concrete ontology are just floating phrases waiting for an argument...
Bergson, had a very clear point of view. The title of his major work, "Creative Evolution" declares this point of view. However, he was a visionary wh...
Since defining a concept is essentially a consensus development process, one can never consider it correct as though there was some absolute agreement...
I agree. Without an agreed upon ontology. Any philosophical concept or discussion of a concept must be grounded in some ontology. Without such groundi...
That's pretty much it. There is lots of economic incentive for academia to publish what is acceptable. It's actually pretty easy to accomplish as oppo...
Here is the key passage in Bergson's Mind and Matter where he's describes the universe as a holographic field, two decades before holography was disco...
In a way yes, and a way no. How much of it do they perceive, how they may articulate it, how much they can articulate it (considering they both depend...
Art it's s manifestation of the artist. There is no way to separate the two. They are forever entangled in content and perspective. Some aspect, part,...
Gravity is a phenomenon not a Law. We (our minds) observe this phenomenon. The phenomenon actually behaves differently at the micro and macro levels. ...
Without a clearly defined, concrete ontology, words such as exist, being, and real, just float around without any grounding. One must have a very well...
Not really. One can arrive at many types of spiritual ideas and evidence simply by practicing and studying spirituality. It's like billiards, if you d...
Or it could be cyclical like sleep and awake. There is evidence when one understands life as continuance of memory. There is as much reason to believe...
Not necessarily so, though I am sure applicable to some people. No need to superimpose truth in to of all beliefs. As everyone has beliefs as per thei...
That matter is a wave-particle is not new to quantum. It was intuited by ancient philosophers by inverting inferring the micro from their observations...
As I always try to stay as concrete as possible, this is what has worked for me: 1) Moderation 2) Engagement 3) Being who I am and not expecting too m...
No, I've read tons which I why I threw De Broglie right at your asinine comments. Not that one should take De Broglie's opinion over yours. Mine shoul...
Who ever said I was a Bersonian. All I said is that your mummification of Bergson was a joke and it was and it is. The rest of your post pretty much i...
I agree. In my heart of hearts, I really question whether he was a genius at all, but b rather piggy-backed his way into history, taking into account ...
I do it all the time and I'm constantly reminding myself it is a reasonable way to spend a life. I'm always interested in observing how people react t...
We are all involved. All of it an experiment. I personally love the arts that permeate all cultures and communities. The starvation, pain, and death c...
There are no facts. Just information you can collect by your own observations and by talking to people. Do some homework, understand people, and learn...
Yes, I agree. Once an illusion is admitted as a possibility then there are no ways to set boundaries to the illusion. Everything can be an illusion an...
It's not an argument, it is information. While religion is closely related to spiritualism, one might normally expect a religion to be interested in t...
You are just reading from the Torah. I'm referring too what religious Jewish people actually believe and many sects gives no account of life after dea...
Are you asking for objections based upon current knowledge? If so, atomism had been completely replaced by quantum theory where wave-particles replace...
Concretely, experienced time is changes in memory. This is substantially different that oscillations in space. One can look upon mind and matter as be...
The difference between Bohm and MWI is that the universe isn't splitting into an infinite number of other universes (assuming an infinite number of po...
The object is a wave pattern. It is real. The mind is a wave pattern. It to is real. The mind can reconstruct the wave pattern of the object and creat...
That's the scientific explanation. Now for the spiritual explanation. Life (duration) is memory of change. It is possible to sit immobile and observe ...
“For we convinced physicists, the distinction between past, present and future is only an illusion, however persistent.” Albert Einstein Whenever I co...
I'm not familiar what Jonathan AB's ideas are yet. That remains to be seen. Clearly we both have reservations concerning Relativity's space-time's ont...
This type of perspective always makes any attempt to understand nature and life hopeless. Illusions make everything meaningless since there are no bou...
What I object to it's pseudo science where concepts are just fabricated to fit the materialist agenda of the bio and neuro science commercial industry...
I obseved that your religion has exactly the same structure say lots of other religions. It is mysterious, external, omnipotent, dogmatic, and it has ...
Oh, I'm not giving any answers. Just commenting on the mysterious, omnipotence of the omnipresent Evolution. Every theory has a name for the impetus. ...
Evolution did it. Omnipotence is always associated with the externalized impetus. Priests being the conduits to the mystery of God, who do you suppose...
Every single theory has an agent. There has to be because somewhere, somehow there has to be the "impulse". The latest one one I've come across is Den...
