The Big Bang is absolute nonsense, and I was happy when noted quantum scientist Erik Verlinde said philosophically he didn't buy into the Universe all...
Not that experience exists (as if it floating in some sort of vacuum) but rather we (our minds) are experiencing. It is one and the same - mind and me...
It's all memory of a specific sort derived from exactly the same evolutionary activity. There is plenty of evidence to the contrary. One only has to r...
It is the magnitude of the leap in such an opposing direction as well as the clarity and specificity of the description that is so astounding. In my o...
He definitely intuited it and what he intuited went againstall of the established science of his age. And while he enjoyed great popularity and a Nobe...
As the holographic universe unfolds along with quantum physics it becomes more and more remarkable v how prescient was Bergson. De Broglie, one of the...
Nothing in my own observations would support such a notion. The universe is changing in all kinds of ways. Pollution has never been worse. All there i...
Of course. It is inevitable. However, if a scientist wishes to have continued access to funding, it is advisable to use the term quantum information e...
Good for him. Always nice to hear of a scientist talking about consciousness rather than using placeholders like "gene transcription" or do genes have...
No, it is totally reworking the underlying theory of gravity. There is no space-time other than a metaphysical interpretation of GR mathematics. The h...
Yes the brain like everything else is embedded in the holographic weave of the universe, but its purpose is not to store memory but rather to reconstr...
These aren't just some basic, uninteresting drives. They are behavior that make up the vast amount of our existence. You have no evidence of this? How...
What makes you think you didn't understand your declaration of final arbiter? I did. I fully understand that you believe you are in the position of gr...
Observe all of the actions that your body is doing all the time "automatically" such as the processes of eating, breathing, reacting, and thinking. Th...
If one fully analyzes the entire range of behavior of humans one quickly comes to the conclusion that most everything we do is instinctual (I prefer t...
Of course I can. IF there is disagreement with the premise THEN there will be disagreement with the conclusion (as there always is). One might as well...
If you are a determinist the answer is no since everything has been already determined by the Laws of Nature. If you are someone who understands that ...
I always look for "clues" from many perspectives. The first big one for me was the nature of inborn skills, which sometimes are enormously magnified i...
The more I observe this thread, the more I realize (empirically) how useless logic is. What is literally happening is that not-logical thinking it's b...
Did you even read the title? The purpose of the post was not to relate my my own ideas on the subject. The purpose was to reportb in the researcher's ...
What precisely is "evolving"? Evolving implies that some consciousness exists that understands the concept of evolving, such as the Mind. The brain ap...
There is no compromise. Just one choice, one probabilistic (or random choice), no matter how small, destroys determinism. Compatibilism attempts to co...
Where is the fact? It is simply a proposal (hence the proposition). You said "If". Suppose someone doesn't buy into your 'If". You are confusing conse...
There lies the problem. All you have done is articulate a personal desire that it be such. What I observe is a Universe that is changing by learning. ...
As I have written elsewhere, the mathematics of General Relativity does not support either of these notions: 1) the Earth moves around the sun or 2) t...
The problem is that everything is constantly changing. Induction is only approximated. There is no evidence of the unchanging nature of the universe a...
As for myself, I just keep it real by observing patterns, understanding human nature, always working on sharpening my skills via "cross-training", and...
My intuition moments just happen. Something may trigger the moment of epiphany. Something some someone says. Maybe a passing scene. Maybe a dream. It ...
I'm actually talking about knowledge acquisition. I believe this is what Hume was also interested in. Intuition is not only poorly defined, it is impo...
Not from what I have read and practiced. It simply suggests, based upon observations, that great desires lead to great sadness and that a better appro...
If we are agreeing, then great. However, I don't know where intuition/inspiration falls within the rules of logic. Also, pattern recognition is not si...
Observations together with pattern recognition combined with inspiration/intuition that gives new meaning to these recognized patterns. A child builds...
Whether or not a certain syllogism is "valid" is only relevant on graded tests. What is relevant is knowledge is acquired by a combination of personal...
Nope. And such a point of view has no theory for variation in the universe. Quantum theory does. The only way determinism works is if the Laws of Natu...
Keep in touch then, because the Laws have me caught in this grip of non-believing, so if they happen to reveal something to you that might help, it wo...
There is no such thing as the laws of cause and effect for the rest of the universe. I guess it is something determinists just make up for the heck of...
Are you suggesting that the Laws of Nature work in such a manner that they give the real scoop about the nature of choice is to only certain people (d...
The determinist position is that there is no choice. Everything is determined. (If you are not a determinist, just go on believing otherwise, because ...
The issue is never racism, which is always prevalent in some form in any culture. The issue is the economic conditions that provide racism a platform ...
There"truth" goes even deeper than that. With a careful reading of this statement one might observe that, I think therefore I am. Quite interesting bu...
It is wonderful to hear of your recovery and how it added some new meaning too your life. One makes of Life as one's experiences may lead. My guess is...
To understand how"knowledge" is acquired, one can analyze the bird which we call crow. Enough birds with similar visible attributes, such as the color...
