In other words "The beings are the frames and Being is the reel" :smirk: (and "frames moving" corresponds to (Einstein's) "persistent illusion" of (Ne...
"Pain" itself does not indicate reality (e.g. nocebos, phantom limb, angst, phobias, etc). That there is resistance to our efforts, resistances to act...
Nothing but an empty name. A transcendental, or categorical, placeholder. The shadowing of shadows ... "Being of beings"? Void of (swirling, swerving)...
I can't answer your questions; they are mostly besides the point and make no sense to me. I also can't see what "transhumanism" in particular has to d...
No. Therapists or physicians are not "sourgraping" when they treat, and teach others how to treat, illnesses. (Besides music, what could be more life-...
My guess is that we "talking animals" will, if we ever do, encounter only extraterrestrial intelligent machines, and our species probably won't be the...
The point I try to make with link (quoting from an older post wherein I elaborate further) in my previous post is that any alien intelligence develope...
:up: The Great Disappearing. Forgetting, being a stream of disappeared memories, the disappearing of self-continuity ... Horizon of the autobiographic...
Thus my allusion to the absurd. The question immediately goes wrong so any answer at best just begs it. And then hitching it to the pragmatically inap...
A "technological ascendant" xeno-civilization is, much more likely than not, undetectable by our comparatively primitive technologies. We're observing...
I'm more Nietzschean (i.e. 'Dionysian' in approbation of the daily Sisyphusean grind) whereas Schopenhauer relies on music in a decidedly 'Apollonian'...
Schopenhauer's therapy, IIRC, includes practicing compassion and cultivating musical jubilation. Philosophical pessimism expresses – probably in some ...
:100: :fire: ... Man might be to blame for his evil acts, but "God" is responsible for making it possible to commit evil acts; ergo, "God" is not omni...
In so far as "philosophical pessimism" denotes 'pain is the rule of existence, and boredom the exception' (or vice versa), "human nature" consists in ...
Your scientific illiteracy seems too thorough. I explain and you can't recognize any explanation as such – like I've repeatedly said – as your incoher...
You must be an idealist, Philosophim, because you seem to believe that physics accounts for the ideal (i.e. non-physicality or logical priority) rathe...
Like the PoE, the PoH is only a "problem" for the notion of an omnibenevolent deity. "Hell", btw, is just imaginary revenge-porn sadism, nothing more....
Conceptually, causality presupposes spacetime, therefore spacetime cannot be an effect of causality; spacetime "allows for" causality. Einstein more o...
:up: :100: It's either #2 (e.g. Rovelli / Deutsch) or #4 (e.g. Smolin) make sense to me. However, I/we/they don't know enough yet to determine which m...
You haven't read the TLP in full. You've no idea (sense) of what Witty means by 'nonsense'. Hint: Witty does not refute himself, rather he reorients p...
"(He must, so to speak, throw away the ladder AFTER he has climbed up it.)" ~L.W. Anything taken out of context, especially by one ignorant of the con...
It's an implication of QG and not a metaphysical speculation. The classical (macro) concept of "causality" has no physical meaning at or below the pla...
Husserl was indeed the catalyst for the "movement" but the precursors from which he derived much of his work on phenomenology are thinkers such as F. ...
Disingenuious selective reading. Let's not waste anymore of each other's time. Our respective posts might be read and evaluated by interested third-pa...
IMO these were simply US government plots. Under the aegis of "official secrecy" they do not constitute conspiracies, or a grand conspiracy as such, b...
