could say that you can't explain anything at all. All I'd need to do, with any explanation you offer, is say, "That's not (sufficient for) an explanat...

But how could that be? It's because I couldn't understand my conscienceness. But you're saying since you completely understand your consciousness, the...
October 12, 2019 at 13:16
you remember what I said about this idea? If I offer something as an explanation that you're going to respond to with "that's not an explanation," the...
October 12, 2019 at 13:13
I haven't the faintest idea why you'd see this as a mystery. You're not paying attention, and you do something careless as a result, like not stopping...
October 12, 2019 at 13:10
Yes. I answered this already. I'm afraid you're far from explaining it. If I look at the color red and perceive a feeling about it, tell me about the ...

He's certainly not going to claim that we have subconscious minds and that they cause accidents. Then the question still remains unanswered: 1. Is hum...
October 12, 2019 at 12:48
I don't understand that question grammatically. Could you rewrite it? Sure, explain your meaning of brain states?
October 12, 2019 at 12:39
Find me something from an academic/peer-reviewed source in cognitive science that claims that subconscious mental content causes accidents and you win...
October 12, 2019 at 12:37
It's a set of brain states. Brains are physical. now I'm confused what are brain States consciousness and subconsciousness working together? But that ...
October 12, 2019 at 12:34
I already said, the fact that you weren't paying attention caused it. But cognitive science says it was my subconscious are you refuting that?
October 12, 2019 at 12:33
Love - "an intense feeling of deep affection" What is human sentience then, how is that physical?
October 12, 2019 at 12:32
In the scenario you're talking about, the simple fact that you're not paying much attention to what you're doing with respect to driving. What can hel...
October 12, 2019 at 12:29
Another way you demonstrate it is via the fact that the notion of a nonphysical existent is incoherent. (I've already explained this many times.) Gotc...

Truth is never objective. Truth is a judgment we make--so a mental activity, about the relation of a proposition to something else. So by definition, ...

"Proof" is a red herring. Empirical claims are not provable, and proof in the context of logic and mathematics is simply a matter of whether something...

October 12, 2019 at 12:22
Subjective truth isn't objective, of course. That's a simple contradiction. Interesting of course that begs many questions at the heart of atheism. 1....

What "told you" to have an accident? Nothing "tells you" to have an accident. It's an accident. now Forgive me for not following your logic. If I'm ha...
October 12, 2019 at 12:16
Not a mental phenomenon, no. Unconscious brain functions are not mental phenomena. But if I'm driving down the road daydreaming and kill myself in the...
October 12, 2019 at 11:49
Sure, I'd say that (if you're asking from a meta, truth-theory perspective). I'm still confused. Are you saying you can get inside my head and objecti...
October 12, 2019 at 11:47
have a (justified, true) belief that god does not exist, yes. (And I told you this in a post above, by the way.) Using consciousness, how can you prov...
October 12, 2019 at 11:46
And so is the subconscious a phenomenon?
October 12, 2019 at 11:43
Religions are "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods," "a set of beliefs concerning the cause...
October 12, 2019 at 11:41
Daydreaming is a conscious mental phenomenon. So is awareness while driving, although simple awareness is not the same sort of mental phenomenon as im...

Does music theory confer biological survival value? LOL
October 12, 2019 at 11:35
why should we entertain any of it as true when someone does it here in the forum? 5h Inductive reasoning.
October 12, 2019 at 11:27
I don't buy that there is any subconscious mental phenomena. When you're driving a car daydreaming and run a red light and crash into someone is that ...
October 12, 2019 at 00:20
Sure, volitional existence. As a goal you chose Atheism LoL
October 12, 2019 at 00:17
And I think it's called the subconscious LoL
October 12, 2019 at 00:15
That would be false because your goal is to seek the truth. Therefore you have an inherent higher consciousness. And that in part, is another reason w...
October 12, 2019 at 00:14
I'm saying that what you were saying is false due to our stream of consciousness.
October 12, 2019 at 00:09
Don't be afraid of yourself. Join the party. It's okay to be scared; if you're scared say you're scared !!! Speaking of half-truths, actually you half...
October 12, 2019 at 00:08
I'm not quite following that. Are you now thinking that a person can think about nothing at all and still exist? That's what I'm left with if you say ...
October 12, 2019 at 00:05
Why not? Couldn't one have a goal of Nilhilism?
October 11, 2019 at 23:40
"Can a phenomenon-in-potentia be said to exist and not to exist?" What a fabulous question. I'm going to think about that for a while. The short answe...
October 11, 2019 at 23:39
Is that Nihilism?
October 11, 2019 at 23:10
Hey 180 don't be shy come join the party! LOL 1. God does not exist. True or false or something else?
October 11, 2019 at 21:58
Hahaha, that was good Poetic, I love the melodramatic music!!! Some say God is truth Some say God is false Others say that both are true Like humans h...
October 11, 2019 at 21:52
Existing: in existence or operation at the time under consideration; current. You sound like you're overthinking this. You asked me a question and my ...

Hey Benkei! It speaks to whether he's fit for the office. I think the wolves are circling. He might be firing his attorney now since his associates ju...

In any case can a human eradicate their goals and purposes?
October 11, 2019 at 21:16
Do you have an example of a half-lie ?
October 11, 2019 at 21:15
Is having no goals a goal?
October 11, 2019 at 19:53
What's a category error?
October 11, 2019 at 19:50
NICE Poetic! Hey, do me a nice poem on God, a mottled color of truth! Thanks
October 11, 2019 at 19:48
But it still begs the question why should a human have goals? For what purpose?
October 11, 2019 at 19:45
No, the positive Atheist say's: 1. God does not exist. So your comment applies to them. I'm a Christian Existentialist. Otherwise, I'm comfortable wit...
October 11, 2019 at 19:42
3) You don't know. Do half-truth's exist?
October 11, 2019 at 19:40
Otherwise there's no such purpose for that human. Do you agree with this? No, because if that person does not want to fall in love (in that case), thi...
