I simply accept life for what it is. Constantly changing and evolving memory. It's actually quite beautiful as people who practice the arts may discov...

Wherever it is it is. It simply is.

Flawed is your subjective evaluation. I see it as simply life experiencing life.

It's not flawed. It is representative of the person as that person experiences and understands things subject to change. It is exactly what it is and ...

I provided a link to some research. Among athletes and artists, this sense of body memory, is well understood and cultivated as it is in martial arts ...

Memory is not flawed, it changes and is affected as is everything else. Wherever it may be it is where each if us is. And if course it/we will evolve.

I personally don't bother with labeling. I just observe and increase my awareness by observation. I treat philosophy as a process of melting and disso...

Again, it is via self-observation/meditation. One cannot perceive oneself (it is like v trying to look at ones on face), but I've can feel oneself. It...

I do it by self-observation. When I mediate on myself, I only perceive memory that is continuously evolving. That defines who I am. There is the "I" t...

To the the extent that everything is in quantum system state, then yes, everything is quantized. If memory is self, then yes self/memory can be preser...

I would say that we have pretty much discovered the implications of Evolution. Good topic.

That you and the Nazis are so hung up about the continuation of a species or race is purely an individual issue and desire Some share your obsession a...

The Nazis used this line of reasoning not only for Jews, but on anyone who stood on land that they wanted, which included 10s of millions of Gypsies, ...

Homophobia is a "natural" conclusion for any ideology that is driven by reproduction as fundamental or essential. Once one goes down this path (as the...

A very clear explanation of how and why Natural Selection, via it's hold on all things including Nazi Stormtroopers, will seek to eliminate all that i...

For someone who claims to eschew brute facts, your posts are just one big bundle of such.

Charlie Chaplain was able to reveal it via simple observation. Comedians do this as a matter of vocation, creating the theater of the absurd.

There is comedy lurking within the pathos of life. A simple change from actor to audience sometimes reveals it.

Granted. There are always more questions to be asked. In my case, rather than handoff consciousness, creativity, and choice to the Laws of Nature or t...

No problem, though I did find your autobiographical description of yourself quite interesting.

Yes, this would be very much akin to Hindu Maya. But what remains to be explained is why Natural Forces would be creating all these illusions but at t...

I see, now you are not only characterizing physicists but you are now extending yourself to characterizing who is educated and who isn't?

That you feel that you are in a such a position to make such characterizations speaks for itself.

Yes. Thank you for the correction.

Your characterization of who and what isn't a serious physicist is parenthetical to the discussion. The to are one and the same, and there is evidence...

Consciousness does lurk in quantum theory interpretation. I am being more explicit, but this type of thinking it's precisely where philosophers should...

Suffering is probably a poor translation of the ancient thought. There is a discomfort within is that provides the impetus or is a result of the desir...

Consciousness would be quanta. One and the same. And it is spreading spreading into duration as memory waves.

The question is what is creating feeling (and all other qualia) and why? The standard answer is that it all emerged out of the Big Bang "soup" as dete...

Nazism was entirely technology driven, and after the war the U.S. used many Nazi for our missile program. As far as ideology was concerned, the concep...

Under can tweak God's powers as they wish, but in doing so they Grant themselves powers and understanding greater than God's, which would be turning r...

The discussion is about the all-powerful force called Natural Selection which was totally concocted by science and which seems to be obsessed with rep...

Human history tends to say otherwise. We all have special skills and appears that about a segment of the human species had the skill of cheating and s...

An intention may be constrained or influence but it doesn't mean that someone cannot try to choose movement in one direction or another. One can try b...

It's every choice a moral choice? Is deciding whether to eat fruits or vegetables a moral dilemma? I believe that when one frames Choice as an intenti...

Since Evolution is indistinguishable from other Western religions, it would make sense that adherents would draw the same conclusions, e.g. being Gay ...

Are you suggesting that natural selection will be weeding out Gay people? This type of reasoning, perpetuated by science, is as least as distasteful a...

This is precisely what happened. Scientists imbued a human tendency into some unknown mysterious force that governs all which is called Natural Laws. ...

In most cases, this is being asked, i.e. do humans have the ability to make choices. The question of what it's moral and immoral is a different questi...

I would say that depression emanates from loss of some type. Loss of purpose, loss oof family, lots of hi hope, etc. One must find a way to fill the h...

I agree with you. Assigning a strictly life feature to a mechanical invention of life creates all kinds of confusion. Computers are an invention of hu...

I think you are reading my implications properly and didn't take your comments as disparaging. In some cultures, certain types of creativity (e.g. ste...

Intelligence isn't better or worse, more or less. It is creating, experimenting, exploring, and learning in all forms and is constantly evolving.

Judeo Christian version of Genesis: God created the universe and it took 7 days. Scientific version of Genesis: Natural Forces created the universe an...

Intelligence is the creative impetus (imagination and will) that directs attention and movement (choice). The source of creative inspiration is memory...

I don't believe so unless one is considering quantum entanglement. What I am suggesting is that the basic essence of being human is dispersed beyond t...

Memory is there essence of who we are as we persist through duration. One only has to discard the notion that somehow memory is locked in the brain (w...

I read the article. This is a more neutral, non-religious point of view. Probably closer to the original ideas that have not been influenced by econom...

I think you will find that Nirvana and such are all subject to interpretation and its evolution is similar to that of Heaven, i.e. a marketing tool. I...
