Yes. It a list of ambiguous terms that describe a supposedly other list of ambiguous terms each of which would be a brute fact assuming they they coul...

Probably the most demonstrative and damaging philosophical critiques of Relativity derive from Bergson's approach to the issues raised. http://m.nauti...

One really has to ponder to scientific view of life to find the sleight of hand that is being performed. There is no altruist. There are the altruisti...

Our thoughts on this matter are in similar proximity. I would say that the essence of life is we, the mind. The meaning of life is more about what we ...

In a dualist interpretation the question remains what is at the boundary? How does mind cause an action on a physical? What creates the impetus for ma...

This is what you might call a brute fact. I would call a belief. There are as many varieties if physicalism as there are off Buddhism. I would say phy...

It gets tricky here. A neurologist may simply say that a thought are some little neurons going off here or there. Watch the TV show Superhuman where t...

Isn't that what I just said. Physicalism is like Hinduism (everything is Hindu), everything is physical. It's a point of view. If you can name it, exp...

Right. Natural Selection merely is the prime motivator for the helpless glob of material called humans that naturally creates such actions as eugenics...

Reality is what each of us experience. It is a process, not a thing. Similarly, knowledge is an accumulation of experiences. It is a process, not a th...

This would be the case if mind/physical were given equal status. In some cases mind is transformed into some illusion (I guess this the essence of mat...

I agree. Physicalism just states that everything is physical. Anything that exists or may be discovered is physical. (Just as Hinduism claims all reli...

That Natural Selection is a belief system, promoted by biology/medical industry to further its own agenda. There is not a scintilla of evidence that t...

I don't think there is any trolling going on here. It is just the inevitable outcome of a conversation where people know the truth but they are differ...

The simple truth, as spoken to me by Natural Laws.

Truth had simply taken a walk to some other side. No matter, it is bound to come back given time. Truth does have a propensity to wander.

Might I suggest a course on Greek drama with emphasis on hubris.

Natural Law, the God of atheism that has made scientists the chosen ones. Where do I go to pay homage? Science seeks homage, doesn't it? The holders o...

What we have here is a case study of trying to create categories: descriptive and prescriptive. Categories can be taught and used out of habit with ex...

. Some recent research: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/01/170130083231.htm "A UK, Canadian and Italian study has provided what researchers...

What one honestly feels is in itself uncertain and continously evolving. Even as some speaks, something else may immediately come to mind. Ditto for i...

It's tough enough understanding things from one's own perspective. This is what I'm working on.

There can be no error without consensus. Lacking consensus, there is simply a disagreement. There cannot be category-errors, since there is no agreeme...

There is nothing backwards anywhere. All you are doing is transferring everything that is human into a gene and then saying, "see you don't need a con...

I agree. There are lots of possibilities to consider in different contexts. Hopefully some young, eager beaver philosophers will investigate this mode...

When it is observed it becomes the cup. I don't know what a dog, for example, sees. All I know is what I can observe. When I'm not observing, back to ...

I believe there is research going on concerning the possibilities. I already the model from a different perspective, i.e. are the pieces of the puzzle...

Yes, they can be but not at the same time.

I am definitely interested in this area if inquiry and what it all means. Hence the idea of shared memory in holographic form and shared traits in hol...

It is what it is in its quantum state. It is there human mind that recognizes it as a cup. The hologram analogy it's a good one. Turn off the reconstr...

Ok. But we all have to be flexible in life, a key principle that we both learned studying Tai Chi for 30 years.

The problem is that your are imbuing all kinds of human attributes into the gene. All you are doing is transferring creative consciousness into the ge...

The quantum state exists, however one may wish to visualize it. I visualize it as the wave pattern formed in a hologram. What doesn't exist is the cup...

If you don't know what I'm talking about them I guess you can't talk about it. That's OK. It's not a necessity.

Not at all. The macro reveals the micro, but it takes some creative intuition to bridge the gap. It is a continuum without gaps. Everything must spira...

To be sure it is highly speculative. There are reasons I chose this model, primary because it keeps everything real. I do not like illusions as an ans...

I am inquiring into the philosophical implications (I wouldn't even call it an o observer problem), utilizing a Bergsonian view of life and a holograp...

As I said in my response, the object that exists in some quantum state is real. But until it interacts with the observer ( there had to be an observer...

I would agree. Current philosophy of the mind needs a complete overhaul. Sheldrake's ideas are well worth investigating. I just learned today from an ...

No, Natural Laws and Natural Selection, and It's Natural aren't science.

Natural is science's escape word when it can't explain something.

At this time, my general idea is that memory is imprinted into the fabric of the universe (analogous to a hologram) and had the possibility of persist...

I revert to the nature of experience because either implicitly it explicitly (depending upon one's metaphysics) the OP is asking about personal experi...

Well for sure I agree. However, the issue is how to initiate. Academia is not the place. I would approach it with an online platform dedicated to rese...

Special relativity concludes that Ann and Beth will have different experiences, due to the speed of light, but mathematically the two experiences can ...

A hologram presents an analogous representation of the problem. The hologram is simply a set of wave patterns embedded in the glass. It only reveals t...

Face it. Deep inside your subconscious you are a Pantheist. It's a fine spiritual philosophy. Be proud of it and who you are.

There is something there, but it is the mind that forms the cup. You must realized that that seemingly solid object is not that at all when peering in...

Natural in such contexts is tantamount to God. It is a substitution word. Atheists can't use the word God so they rename it Natural. The scientific ex...

No one is hijacking quantum physics. The only hijacking that was done was when science hijacked the human mind and memory and stuffed in in something ...
