You say that as if it could be some other way that unfortunately just didn’t turn out to be the case. You say “freedom”, but you describe a multiple p...
Yes, interaction goes both ways, but the mind is secondary in many respects. For example, some people get brain seizure while driving or playing an in...
Bell theorem / hidden variable - is a mix of misinterpretations about the theory, what experiments are measuring, and how to read and interpret result...
That is true, in a way, but is just a play with words, substituting one phrase with another having equally no any grounding. By “grounding” I mean emp...
There is a guy who was sceptic about near death experience and decided to debunk it. However, while investigating he became less sceptic and eventuall...
You can not argue with “indefinite”. It means you are unable to say anything specific about it, and using ignorance to claim knowledge is the funniest...
You can not resolve the issue by not addressing the issue, so until you start talking about continuity in terms of infinite divisibility there is no d...
Can you translate that into English? What is "real law", how is it different than "not-real law", and how is it different from conteporary understandi...
We agree about Zeno and divisibility in that sense. The problem was you then started talk about divisibility in terms of past, present, and future - w...
Experience is a synthetic virtual representation of the physical state of the body. This simulation processing takes time, so it is only natural that ...
I see, a tree is conscious even if all of its parts are already conscious on their own. So I am conscious and my brain is conscious, but so is my elbo...
There is nothing reasonable in what you are saying, so I'm asking you for the fifth time to explicitly name it. Leaf, branch, tree, forest.. what is c...
That, and everything else. Panpsychism fails to make any empirically useful statement, it’s no less pointless than to claim god did it. It means nothi...
Yeah. There is “self” as a system that is having mental states and there is “me” as a content of mental states. “Self” is a physical entity, “me” is a...
It’s not a matter of opinion, but of speaking the same language as the rest of the world. The defining and most relevant aspect of continuity when tal...
DNA is a set of instructions and it is perfectly valid to call them symbols, as we do in genetics. Besides, there are no signs in the computer either,...
No? Who is interpreting the signs in your DNA? And what do you call a process constrained by a set of instructions, such as processes in your body, yo...
Panpsychism must be true in some way because it’s maximally vague and ambiguous. Consider emergentism, the opposite of panpsychism, and yet if true, p...
Intentions, and other mental states, feelings and qualities, are not immaterial, they are virtual. To exist is to be (made of) something rather than n...
What differentiates one consciousness from another - leaf, branch, tree, forest... each grain of sand or the whole beach - what is conscious? Also, wh...
What’s the purpose of the brain and sensory organs then? Leaf, branch, tree, forest… what is conscious there, and what makes the boundary between my c...
Free will is only 100% free if it is 100% determined. That is 100% determined by the “self” and 0% determined by anything else. Therefore ‘free will’ ...
That's what I said. But you have Aletheist here who thinks continuity is the solution to the paradox, whatever then is the paradox supposed to be. Whe...
It's a logical conclusion implicit in continuous time, regardless of subjective experience. Present time is interval of time between past and future t...
Signals, just like words, pictures, and other kinds of representations are meaningless information by itself. Meaning comes from the grounding inheren...
No, because consciousness implies “mental content”, an infrastructure that can internally model or represent itself vs. everything else. There needs t...
It’s most accurate and pragmatic to call it “virtual reality”, a sort of simulation, but to keep in mind that does not necessarily imply digital compu...
Just to make one thing clear. There is no such thing as “immaterial” or “non-physical”, it’s a self-contradiction. Instead, it can be undetectable, ei...
Velocity, p=mv. But we don't need momentum and mass. Velocity = distance / time is sufficient. In either case I think the point is that there is no po...
That’s right. Even if the universe is not deterministic there is no denying all this existed at least as a potential reality. Even if the universe eme...
That a single image can hold multiple scenes using transparency does not contradict the claim we are only ever visually aware of a single image. It’s ...
Then you should care how real is virtual time, because discrete simulated time explains Zeno and Planck scale limits, while continuous time only makes...
You are reinterpreting the situation so to obfuscate the problem and then conclude there is no problem. I think that view is too naive to even be cons...
Zeno said “by the time Achilles reaches the tortoise it would have crawled to a new place, again and again”, where do you see an assumption? And how i...
The part where you forgot to explain your point. True continuity!? It's really confusing why would you fabricate nonsense out of thin air, and how you...
There is a line from point A to point B representing either segment in space or time interval. And this line is then either continuous or discrete, i....
Yes, that is what "infinitely divisible" means. And you say one second of time is infinitely divisible. That is all we need, everything else follows. ...
It's not assumption as if used to conclude something else, it's the subject of the paradox, hypothesis being tested. You agree it’s false, produces pa...
