The future possibilities manifests as memory just like all our thoughts. They are different in kind, but still all memory. As we take action, the new ...

You want me to tell you want you are experiencing? People I talk too tell me their day really dragged, their vacation when by to quickly, life is too ...
February 15, 2018 at 03:39
Yes, we feel ourselves, our memory pressing into the present. The future is possibilities that we are moving towards. This is the experience of life i...

Tell me.
February 15, 2018 at 03:15
I thought v you might call it the "Laws of English". Anyway, language is formed by consensus, so you keep making my point - and it keeps changing. So ...
February 15, 2018 at 02:42
Nice bantering with you.
February 15, 2018 at 02:34
I understand. That is what I do.
February 15, 2018 at 02:28
Based upon what? Some consensus arrived at by a group of observers? Suppose the rulers are recalled? If one wants to understand how "facts" are create...
February 15, 2018 at 02:21
Science doesn't give insights. People do, like Bohm, Bell, De broglie, and Einstein's wife, Mileva Mari? Einstein, who did a substantial part of the w...

So we are c programmed electronics. Do you observe electronics in humans? Yes, they can be programmed. They don't make decisions. The humans make all ...
February 15, 2018 at 01:02
Right. There is a whole history. So it isn't Rich's ideas, is it? You are actually disagreeing with Pros! (Always seeking the high ground).
February 15, 2018 at 00:31
Water boils. That's an observation. At what temperature? Oh, let's get together and make up some approximate measurement made by some device (which ch...
February 15, 2018 at 00:18
Right. My personal experience of life which goes on whether or not I have a clock.
February 15, 2018 at 00:15
As I said, people make up Laws and change Laws. Nothing sacrosanct about them - except the Laws of God, of course. You see, Laws are handy but they do...
February 15, 2018 at 00:08
What time does the physicist set out. A clock? Something that moves in space. Would I not still experience duration whether or not I measure the some ...
February 15, 2018 at 00:06
That's the problem.
February 14, 2018 at 23:49
No. There are no Laws and I don't make them up for convenience or to gain the gravitas high ground. You don't understand the problem, that's the probl...
February 14, 2018 at 23:43
No Laws here. I consider the concept silly, especially the way it is thrown around to achieve some ground of superiority. Law of Attraction is a nice ...
February 14, 2018 at 23:10
Pulling out a Law on me. Nice. It seems like that is very fashionable when someone wants to quickly take the high ground. I have to remember this tric...
February 14, 2018 at 23:06
Thus the problem is Life. Yep, exactly what he is replacing with his little stick man. Then what is making the decisions? The bot? How did that happen...
February 14, 2018 at 23:01
Since you don't understand the issue and why integral calculus has nothing to do with it, I guess we will be plagued by this issue forever. Maybe if y...
February 14, 2018 at 22:43
The Mind may discover something new and thus the concept will change. Everything changes. It's only a "violation" if something is fixed. https://phys....
February 14, 2018 at 21:24
I meditate now and then. My wife all the time, though not with the expectations she use to have when practicing Zen. It quites the mind and allows it ...

How something can be at rest all the time and moving? Hmm. I'll try it out later today and see if I can teleport myself somehow.
February 14, 2018 at 19:53
I realize this. I asking the precise number. Scientifically speaking of course.
February 14, 2018 at 19:51
Well apparently you are fine with this so nothing is going to convince you otherwise. For me, it is strange and doesn't coincide with every day experi...
February 14, 2018 at 19:50
No. Only in the context of the Copenhagen Intepretation. Delayed Choice is immediately resolved by the introduction of the quantum potential. Quite el...
February 14, 2018 at 19:45
If a moment is without duration, exactly how many moments does it take to make one second? The stuff that the clock is measuring. That science it's me...
February 14, 2018 at 19:33
I've never done drugs. I just observe and put together an ontology based upon clues I pick up and put together.
February 14, 2018 at 19:13
Well then you have an expected paradox. It is an outgrowth of your ontology which brings us right back to my first question, if you think you are mome...
February 14, 2018 at 19:00
Yes, just a small gap like how the heck the whole thing happened and is still happening?
February 14, 2018 at 17:51
There is no theory or evidence. It all is supposed to just happen. Like magic or a religious Miracle. People want to believe it for some reason or ano...
February 14, 2018 at 17:50
If the moments are continuous there are no moments. That was Bergson's point. This is what Zeno's paradoxes are all about. When you do away with point...
February 14, 2018 at 17:45
No it discovers new patterns and creates symbols to describe those patterns. Patterns change.
February 14, 2018 at 17:39
It's not retroactive with Bohmian Mechanics. It is only retroactive in other interpretations because they lack the quantum potential that acts instant...
February 14, 2018 at 17:37
So what is asking questions of each other, molecules? And what are molecules comprised of? It's all just waves. So we are one big robot of molecular s...
February 14, 2018 at 17:33
Time is exactly as you are experiencing it. Is time starting and stopping for you as a succession of moments? Mine is continuous. Time for me sometime...
February 14, 2018 at 17:00
Yes, in a very straightforward way. Whenever the experiment is changed (e.g. opening or closing one if the slits), the guiding wave (quantum potential...
February 14, 2018 at 16:54
Bergson opposes spacialization of time. If you don't understand what I just said, you have to either think about it or read about it.
February 14, 2018 at 16:48
Yes. Time (duration) is the actual, personal experience of life.
February 14, 2018 at 16:30
No, it is as I described it.
February 14, 2018 at 16:19
There is no collapse. The wave/particles are real. Forget about the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. If you stick with it, you'll alway...
February 14, 2018 at 16:10
I have no idea where that come from, but I'm glad you got it off your chest.
February 14, 2018 at 15:46
A good review of Bohm-Mechanics and subsequent developments. https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=3610837013333397409&hl=en&as_sdt=0,7&sciodt=0,...
February 14, 2018 at 13:35
You have to meditate on the absolute absurdity of quantum wave-particles asking questions of other quantum-wave particles. Do you have a theory for th...
February 14, 2018 at 11:19
You know. The Mind. The force that figured out the concept which it calls the Law of Thermodynamics and Entropy. It's what asked the question to begin...
February 14, 2018 at 11:06
Great. Read the papers.
February 14, 2018 at 01:38
That is exactly what he is doing and it is the only thing he is doing. He gives new names to Mind, for all those who want to be role-play some other l...

You're just a joke. Watch the video and enjoy it.
February 14, 2018 at 01:14
I agree, all Dennett's is doing is replacing Mind with the carefully chosen substitution character Moist Robot. I'm sure there were many marketing mee...
