Or, just as well, some(one) to blame, a Feuerbachian scapegoat ... Otherwise, our in-gratitude signifies taking 'the living – boredom and spite, joys ...
:mask: p = p is a tautology. ~p = ~p is a tautology. p = ~p is a contradiction. "p V ~p" is a bivalence expression, and therefore neither a tautology ...
Any evidence of disembodied minds (conscious or otherwise)? If the eliminativists are correct, however, we're all just p-zombies deluding ourselves th...
Apparently, pandeism is a belated materialist/physicalist variation on the tzimtzum theme (i.e. creation = creator/s abscondus). Nothing about vicario...
I take your point (sort of) ... but "the idea of a person" is metaphysical, not physical, so what does "evidence" as such have to do with it? "People ...
Proving that QT is not incomplete as EPR suggested because entanglement can be measured in no way proves or "confirms" classical (i.e. deterministic) ...
Trivial simplification though this is, I nonetheless can't understand 'spacetime' except in terms analogous to the surface of the Moon or a grapefruit...
Einstein believed the same about that crazy Schwarzschild radius idea; now about a century later look: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.space.com/amp/...
I don't know. What I do know is that g/G is never the issue but rather the sets of claims attributed to g/G. Theism is one such set. If theism – its s...
Tourists never leave home, they just drag it around in bigger and bigger circles like a full diaper. Like sophists & vidiots: "Been there, namedropped...
If I say "the sun goes around the earth" and you say "the earth goes around the sun", we then have offered alternative models of this solar system wit...
A life, or living, is gratuitous. Whatever anyone does is either a gift or curse (or both). Likewise, oblivion is gratuitous. Are you grateful for the...
We don't need "objective", even neutral, just scrupulously FAIR. Any member with a reputation for fairness and/or the demonstrated maturity we can rea...
Very good. Have you got an Admin to set up our debate space and found a member to moderate the debate who's to your liking? Banno works for me. Who mo...
My guess is they come from the same "place" other thoughts, words, walking, etc come from: 'subpersonal brain processes' (i.e. system 1 "fast brain" ~...
Falsification, not justification. Epistemic warrant, not ontological fiat. A-gnosis denotes without-knowledge and not without-existence. "Atheism" is ...
Yeah, but which g/G? Truisms but red herrings. The "divine predicates" ("revealed" in sacred scriptures) entail claims about the world which can be in...
There is no "problem". :roll: Whatever else is real, the physical is that aspect of the real – iceberg above the (fundamental?) waterline – available ...
Improbable events occur everyday. Black & white swans. Only naive idiots are agnostic about them and don't take care (vide Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Dani...
You missed an opportunity (if you don't mind me saying so): If "everything", which includes subjective-purposeful entities like us, "is energy", then ...
Anti-semites are necessarily anti-zionists but anti-zionists are not necessarily antisemites. One must refuse to think or lack the courage to oppose o...
