I replied (once more because you're fuckin' slow) with "No". Again, you prove my point. Good job! :clap:

No. :rofl: I'm far from the only one calling "bullshit" on almost everything you write, which is why you cannot answer any direct questions about your...

So your appeal to authority says it isn't science. My own understanding of fundamental physics plus corroboration of many eminent string theorist – ad...

Or maybe it's you and not all them/us. I understand you just fine. You simply won't because you can't. Again. It's okay, even when I address someone d...

I "decluttered" my vinyl collection back in the 90s before the vinyl renaissance. Well, CDs were the thing, no streaming yet (which low bit-rates make...

Big whup. I made my point, you evaded rather than answered it.

I love how reliably like clockwork you always prove how completely D-K you genuinely are (which is why you project so fuckin' much), lil troll. What w...

Okay.

Your edits of the OP are definitely more to my liking. As for the physical-emotional dichotomy, my cruder(?) corollary has always been – observing 'gr...

Non sequitur. Not at all, my friend. Rather it's the role – adaptivity – of 'evidence-based knowledge-claims' as compared to 'evidence-free belief-cla...

Y'know, if "mind" is just process, or function, in the body akin to (but far more complex than) e.g. digestion, then, of course, (mind/body) duality i...

Stop picking imaginary nits. I wrote "discerning" which connotes "knowing" & "intelligibility". I had a very brief interaction with Prof. Chomsky afte...

At worst string theory is a physics-based mathematical metaphysics, so clearly within the remit of science (e.g. Galilean Relativity, Newtonian Gravit...

More people than just scientists have claimed for millennia "there is no god" so that's not an example of science overstepping its boundaries. Scienti...

How so? An example.

So you haven't a clue what you're talking about – well I do appreciate the confirmation; but I'd already suspected as much. My questions are "correct"...

As an addendum to replying to the OP, my own understanding of the 'Platonic-Aristotlean tradition' in (more or less) contemporary terms: Ontology conc...

@"Bartricks" Trolls like you "deserve" to be target practice dummies but it still isn't "right" to feed you all. :sweat:
April 24, 2021 at 03:10
That's what I keep asking you – how? What's the mechanism? Saying "mind is quanta" says nothing more informative than e.g. "names are words".
April 24, 2021 at 03:02
Ah that's rich, the smugly insipid calling the kettle "confused". :lol:
April 24, 2021 at 02:58
:lol:
April 24, 2021 at 02:51
Okay. Just what I suspected. :shade:
April 24, 2021 at 02:50
Yeah, but how? What's the mechanism?

If everything is mind, what's the mechanism by which it manifests illusions to fool its individual selves that, say, there is more-than-mind (e.g. mas...

Well, taken out of their cultural contexts, I don't think "New Age ideas" belong to or in Eastern philosophies either. Cultural appropriation and sync...

Albums which are perfect for me – too many in my usual rotation. Too. Damn. Many. :sweat:

Yes. Absurdists (e.g. Zapffe & Camus) point out that our 'minds' demand more of the world than the world offers us, and that either claiming to have f...
