I think the entire future of philosophy lies in those who thoroughly study quantum theory and research the philosophical issues raised by quantum theo...
An interesting article that addresses some of the philosophical issues in light of quantum theory. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC406801...
And that is the way it is. We know by observing. Observing oneself is sometimes called meditation. Of course, I'm leaving open the possibility that so...
Yes, one can embrace this belief, but it is only that. How a real external quantum state is transformed interested a "thing" is unknown. I would postu...
I would not characterize any influence as control. It it's more like intent of movement, so yes if a person is attempting to move against a wind force...
I'm sure that there are many forms of realism, however, "being apart" is a somewhat difficult stance to embrace post-quantum physics. In addition , th...
Yes, but there is no implication in the ability to choose a direction of action that there is also control of outcome. Granted, there are certain auth...
One can speculate over one of these possibilities, or a multitude of others. Each person has their own spirituality which spans a very broad spectrum....
This concept it's extremely difficult to interpret without further context and description. What I might suggest world be a form of non-existence, mig...
It does depend upon what Buddhism sect one refers to, since there is a multitude of major and minor branches. I would say that Buddhism, as practiced,...
Yes, it all gets kind of tricky, even for simple situations such as the well known example of the snow and how different cultures symbolically represe...
They are not useless, but depending on who or what it's doing the translation, the results are always quite different. There are over 300 translations...
Yes. What it's being influence is the direction the body might move. A person may perceive the banana and try to avoid it, but again outcome is unpred...
There is no control over actions. There is an ability to attempt to move in a particular direction. Outcomes are always uncertain because of other con...
If one envisions the human brain as actively evolved in the process of perception, i.e. as the source of a reconstructive wave, and the environment as...
My guess it's that you are misunderstanding their misunderstanding. In any case, there is no literal interpretation of Buddhist philosophy because the...
You swam in a different river with a persistent name. That you give it the same name does not make the river the same but it is practical to call it w...
As understand it, it i is your position that it is enough for an observation to be called a fact if the observer felt all of the facts were true as re...
Ok. I think we have reached the crux of the issue. At this point, only further contemplation of the issue by you and me will lead us to a different un...
I would call this an observation by you. Since it is passed there is no way for any verification of time or temperature. I would think that facts have...
In light of current understanding of the universe as a quantum state (admittedly a gigantic one, but nothing more) what type of facts would you find e...
A reasonable hypothesis. First one has to ask whether a fact had to be represented in some way. Possibly not. Maybe a fact Is limited to one's own tho...
An act of will is a choice to move in a particular direction. That is all that it is. Perception are virtual actions or possible direction of movement...
I don't believe in supernatural forces that govern things and create truths such as a God, gods, or Laws of Nature. However, there are scientific desc...
Possibilities only apply to choices we make moving forward in duration (real time). The past is memory which is changing as we apply choices. It is a ...
Not at all. It is the basis of many philosophies. One just needs to observe that what is symbolically called a given river is so named for practicalit...
I just wanted to provide evidence that the universe is in constant flux everywhere at all time. It is up to you whether this affects your conception o...
I have never observed this. What I have observed is constantly changing behavior that may fall within the boundaries of probabilities but totally unpr...
Which is why you are comfortable with your position. As John Bell described, there is a chasm between precision of knowledge and knowledge that is ade...
I think that this concept evolved as one possible branch, but if we were to go back to origins, I would say philosophy was primarily concerned with: 1...
I've spent a lifetime being skeptical of "established knowledge", and what I've learned is that what is established is just the tip of the iceberg and...
I personally don't believe there are facts for one fundamental reason, that is a fact represents some immobility in a universe which I believe is in a...
Personally, I don't think in terms of facts. What is happening is that I observe the keys, I check the doors, I wonder how the keys can be in the car ...
Any number of enumerable events may transpire that may further confirm my judgement or convince me otherwise. As with all beliefs, the situation alway...
That's fine. I've made judgements such as this. It's a belief I might have and it may even be practical to say is locked, but as with all such observa...
Agreed. It it's not a fact, it is a personal judgement which of course could be incorrect. To analyze the problem one must not be too quick to jump to...
Ask me, since it will illustrate the issue. What you are doing is showing that everything that is known is by observation and observations will disagr...
It's not that human attributes are ignored, rather they are all squished into the brain somewhere and magically emerge. The classic phrase is "the sel...
