First and foremost to provide for national defense and domestic security. After that, it becomes a trade-off between economy of scale, e.g. providing ...

I would say that the two are about the same but the words themselves are imbued with meaning in order to arouse different feelings. Was Edmund Dantes ...

Precision is the difference between a philosopher and a scientist. It's all the difference in the world. What satisfies a scientist bothers a philosop...

Science relies on predictably for practical purposes, e.g. Weather forecasting, projectile behavior, etc. It is constrained by working theories and us...

In a way, I've already answered your criticism. It is all imagining three nature of intelligence in a different way. The original argument, I would sa...

I would say there seems to be causes, even intelligent causes, but nothing is predictable so things just happen. Intelligence does not imply omniscien...

Yes, there is something very special about the arts and while philosophy can be an art, for the most part philosophy is repetitive just as music can b...

What she is arguing is that she had the omniscience to differentiate an accident form a planned event. If she had such god-like powers, she would be e...

Trade unions are losing power because of free trade (free slave) treaties that allow corporations to build factories wherever slave labor is available...

Of course they are trying to make $trillions in bucks - only they are doing it by stealing it with their money printing presses which makes them somew...

The question is why are there two states of being?

There is nothing natural for private central banks to print $trillions at 0% for a handful of wealthiest people in the world unless one considers thie...

The problem is concentration of wealth, engineered by the central banks, not technology. Similar scenarios have existed before such as in the 1920s. T...

Morphic resonance is one version of explaining memory and habits in the Universe. If I'm not mistaken, Sheldrake does credit Bergson with inspiring hi...

Excellent statement about the perplexities of nature. I often wondered myself about the embedded intelligence of nature.

I think it is fair to say that most materialist atheists believe that all memory of living is lost upon death. I would say that such a view of memory/...

A holographic universe would be one where memory is impressed in the fabric of the Universe itself as a hologram as opposed to being localized in only...

I think it is a quote, but incomplete. It doesn't address the question of why there is the question . Still it is up to each individual to give meanin...

I would say that it is possible to investigate holographic theories where everything is essentially memory stored in the Universal background, Bohm's ...

It's not false - nor is it true. It just unnecessarily eliminates possibilities. But is it correct to say that all atheists have the same view of the ...

Yes, if one simply applies their life to reasoning things out, they would be missing out on a lot of variety. I just try a little bit of everything an...

It life is a cycle of experimentation and learning, the reasoning is one apprach. It needs to be combine with intuition and creativity if something en...

I forgot where I read it but the author wrote that relationships are the most difficult thing that one can attemptin life. He is on his journey and yo...

Really like what he is doing on YouTube.

I believe that it was Bohm in one of his writings who suggested that there really wasn't a particle in the De Broglie-Bohm Interpretation, but rather ...

Pretty much straight out of Bergson. Time is memory with intent to action (desire). Very nice indeed. I wonder if Wait arrived at this via his own int...

What ever happened to "this above all do no harm"?

I think it is difficult to define what is a drug. Clearly we live in a drugged out society. Twice as much people died last year from overdoses of pers...

Hi John. I'll give it some thought. Thanks.

I am not sure where Bohm was directly influenced by Bergson but he must have been indirectly influenced. Also, this may be interesting once you have s...

I agree that the math is just to tool and lots of written and spoken words as well as experiments preceded and followed. However, for science the math...

First, I must apologize. I corrected my post, but too late. I was referring to clock time. Clock time is really a measurement instrument for trying to...

I understand everything you wrote. It is the concept of space-time where we diverge. Memory is not situated in space-time as view it. Memory, as I vie...

? As I said, my model for memory is very expansive and could roughly described as a holographic model of information. Probably no reason to go totally...

Buddhism doesn't not suggest that all life is suffering (happily). Buddhism suggests that suffering is a response to desires. A reasonable response. T...

It is a sharp point that you bring up. My birthday is a certain date as I remember it. I find a birth certificate which changes that memory that I hav...

I do not hold the view that a past can be more than how it is remembered. Yes, a photo can remind someone of a past event, but it doesn't become part ...

t It appears to me that the past is constantly changing. In fact, it is the only thing that is changing as it evolves into a new past.

I understand. Thank you for the clarification.

I don't see emotions as a weakness. I see it as one of the necessary ingredients to create, explore, and learn. It is what makes life interesting.

Understanding your point of view, I would suggest another. That human beings fundamental purpose is to experiment and learn. By learning they evolve. ...

I'm astounded by the number of comments on this video. Who would have thought that Pilot Wave is as popular as Kim Kardashian.

Exceptions are only necessary when an underlying model creates uncomfortable paradoxes, e.g. the Zeno paradoxes. In the Bergsonian model, change is in...

One way of envisioning an Implicate Order, as Bohm refers to it, is a field of information where any new information affects all existing information ...

Agreed. This is why it is necessary sometimes to read between the lines to better understand what the debate is all about. Bohm's solution was ingenio...

I think that Bohm was necessarily cautious about declaring consciousness and/or free will is necessitated by QM. Primarily, he sought to bring real, o...
