Yes, that "species" is not precisely defined I think is the answer to my questions. If it was a static feature I don't see how evolution could work. W...

Thanks guys. I wrote an initial paragraph in response in Notepad but then accidentally deleted it. The point I am trying to make is that simply becaus...

"Information" is a quality or "accident" (in the old usage) and needs matter in order to emerge. A lot of stuff spoken of in quantum mechanics could b...

Sorry for the delay is elaborating. This is a philosophical question in that it relates to what a human is and the mathematics of biology Birds and ra...

Long before Einstein, Hegel said that space and time combine to form motion. More specifically, he said that space plus time equals mass and it's moti...

Note: The best way to understand how I use the word "palpable" is to press on someone's skin and observe the manner in which it moves back into place....

Let me make few addition remarks about what's on my mind then I'll get back to you. 1) Feser believes that objects are composed of both a quasi-spirit...

Thanks, I'll keep studying. Do you have any specifically psychological studies on how speed affects perception? On consciousness: I would agree with B...

Some writers on networks, complexity, system theory, and "universal Darwinism" are Kelly L. Ross, Stephen Wolfram, Mark Kleiman, and Jim Lindgren. I a...

So the "Creator" has no free will? That's Spinoza's opinion too

Positing information as having Being needs much elaboration. I will try to get to all these links you are putting out for us to read ( i have converse...

There are two things, matter and consciousness. As I see it consciousness is ultimately nothingness. It is just experience (experience from matter). M...

Thanks

From what I've gathered from videos in physics is there is massless mass and regular mass. Can the former be extended? Well light is so ye. It is wave...

I don't think General Relativity stands without a good psychological and philosophical foundation, which thinkers like Hegel and Peirce might be able ...

I got through half of the IEP article on Peirce's logic. I didn't get anything out of it. Any resources?

How I see Nietzsche, he held Western religion as self-congratulatory since it obsessed with the alleged rational aside of ethics.instead.of with doing...

There is no reference phrame because everything is moving even space and space's space. Does motions objects mean the same thing as the energy-informa...

I meant to say Einstein said the fold theory thing. Objects firmly have properties was not given up by Einstein. How he spoke of time is confusing but...

Weight is unambiguous for Einstein because it's identical to causality. Again, Decartes was the one who said weight was not a meaningful concept. Pres...

I see a flaw here perhaps. General relativity shows clocks slow down, not time. As Sean Carrol admitted "we don't even know what time is." If there we...

As Hume would say, how do we know mass warps space-time? That is, we can never know which direction causality is going. Using common sense is importan...

Nietzsche appreciated how we are animals who, like others, use our muscles and wits constantly. He admired this effort and thought that spiritual at t...

I'm think we 're getting somewhere but maybe words can't express it (Wittgenstein). Music for me is the powerful, highest form of art, and different r...

Thank you for your reply. I was thinking about art and aesthetics last night. What is the connection between art and religious belief? Mormon, JW, and...

That's interesting

Objective and Subjective are small ideas that one can move beyond through understanding categories of thought, relativity, and in other ways. Finding ...

. I don't believe that Christianity has ever given anyone true strength because the latter is not about ideas. Talking about love and forgiveness does...

According to the edition of the Britannica Encyclopedia I have, Descartes held that gravity was not magnetic but was instead second matter squeezing o...

I have my question now: Is esotericism clearly and distinctly distinguished from exotericism? I'm considering words like thaumaturgy, theurgy, grimoir...

"Intelligence is recognitive: it cognises an intuition, but only because that intuition is already its own." Hegel Your ideas are very interesting!! D...

The bothand blog is yours? I'm definitely into this stuff. Today I was considering how the near infinite attraction of gravity, near zero mass, the ne...

I don't see how someone can have sex without believing in the reality of matter. What exactly matter is was essentially first proposed by Heidegger in...

I don't know if the high level technology we used in particle physics really can say what things are in themselves. We see a lot of Aristotelian langu...

"Elementorum philosophiae sectio prima De corpore" is the 1655 work by Hobbes that deals with mechanistic philosophy. I just realized that this came a...

Is your "formal cause" in the mind (Kant) or somehow simultaneously in the mind AND in matter (Hegel)? I think this is pertinent to your position sinc...

Bacon, Hobbes, and Descartes were first among well known scholars to first strongly emphasis using mathematics to understand physics (aside from the P...

I'm a little confused so perhaps you should "carry on" for a moment for me. I see an infinite series as 1) mathematical and ordered according to as we...

It's ok. I drink energy drinks and like to listen to classic rock sometimes when I'm reading philosophy books.

Could aether inherently use wormholes? Newtonian space and time are purely incorporeal, while aether as quintessence is neither actual not potential b...

There are ways to correlate time experience between observers so there must be something overarching and connecting pieces of time. May this something...

Ye if we have an infinite series of vibrations (of fire!) stretching into the past with no end, then the future is different from the past because the...

I may have used Berkeley's statement too broadly. Sometimes I generalize too quickly. Thanks for your explanation however. The world truly is not pure...

Maybe my concept of "finite" doesn't correspond to anything but it seems to me it merely says "The finite means that which has beginning and end". Tha...

I guess I'll add to the discussion about spatial reality the observation that with numbers the finite make up the infinite while with space the infini...

I'm very very interested in infinitesimals. Berkeley called them ghosts of dead space as if space dies as it approaches infinity. My question is why d...

If the idea of infinitesimals is a black hole in a garden, I see the point about this. Heidegger started saying "what IS being", and in the 60's and b...

Oddly the religion physically at the center of the world call themselves Christians and Orthodox yet through the lens of Plato say that light itself i...

I understand your argument and it is backed up by the claim in physics that light exists in eternity (and it alone as some would add)

Thanks. The phrase "The devil is in the details" was used by the scholastic school mean in the Middle Ages. You weren't allowed to talk about infinite...
