But what if red isn't light waves bouncing off the rose, interacting with neurons (which are decidedly nonredlike), but rather light waves bouncing of...

But you have to admit I'm getting at something: the "is-ought divide" might be erroneous from the standpoint of well-considered decision making, its m...

I'll be the contrarian: what can't be described scientifically can't be described, it can only stimulate an experience in oneself and someone else wit...

We understand what a nematode does in terms of the physiology of behavior, its simply stimulus and response between cells. What we don't understand is...

That makes sense. I'm curious about this section: Can you experience stimuli that weren't previously even entering into consciousness after you become...

I think it varies more widely between humans than most will admit, and maybe that's why we're so reluctant to get into the details. Deep, honest intro...

No one understands that yet, but additive wavelengths or "quantum resonances" must exist in ways that are not entirely visual, and that's the substanc...

A constructive feedback certainly exists between physical modeling and introspective phenomenology: each new development in either domain gives its co...

My preliminary guess is that additive wavelengths of entangled particles are qualia, existing everywhere, but usually flit in and out of existence so ...

The field generated by massive electrical flux in the brain is the subjective medium, a binding agent for the mind's perceptual "space". This electric...

Have you been watching too much MTV? lol Electric field of brain as registered by EEG interacts with quantum fields of entangled particles (qualia) in...

lol, you could try reading about the terms I used. Was it "Earth" that threw you? Looking back at that I guess its kind of technical, but reading some...

In the double-slit experiment its not an observer effect, its quantum decoherence induced by the experimental devices. Instrumentalism, not woo. Maybe...

From what I've read, the observer effect is not initiated by human perception but rather the detection sensor placed at the slit. This dissolves the i...

I think all indications are that quantum biology will provide very effective physicalist models of subjective consciousness. My opinion is that an acc...

I think he had the general idea with his microtubule hypothesis, but my theory is that it is additive superpositions amongst the entangled wavicles of...

graspastic!

In my opinion, how models of the physical emerge out of subjective processes is simply the question of how unconscious aspects of mind give rise to th...

The issue of how consciousness can be physically modeled has been discussed at length by me and some additional posters to this forum, and I think we ...

Is a triple-slit experiment with the same setup as the textbook double-slit an on average 33% probability, a quadruple-slit 25%, etc.?

My next lecture will explicate quantum mechanics as the golden path to fourth dimensional world peace! Its the advanced wave of the future man! lol By...

If we do invent generalized AI (a learning organism that problem solves at a humanlike level) vs. specialized AI (a set of algorithms designed to perf...

This is my impression of the ideas so far (solely for educational learnings, don't come down on me too hard). Curious to see the extent that your know...

A wave function collapsing itself in the double-slit experiment is relatively simple compared to most of what happens in nature, an extremely paramete...

I think my model suggests that the particle passing through both slits to interfere with itself in only the third dimension is an illusion. If this is...

The photon shows up as a single speck on the florescent screen, with an interference pattern built up as the statistics of many individual particles? ...

Some uncertainties I'm curious about: Is an analogy between the double-slit mechanism which produces an interference pattern from a beam of light and ...

I'm glad you liked it! I think I can actually specify this pretty well since I've been ruminating on it awhile. Almost immediately after the retarded ...

Not sure if I should resurrect this thread, but feel the compulsion so who am I to resist? Reading a book on quantum physics that describes retarded/a...

Those terms are derived from observations of real events in the material world. Perhaps it can be said that the concepts are abstracted from layers of...

My assumption is that temporality "is" something, that it exists as somehow instantiated in substance, not an empty, null set concept, and hence not a...

Earlier and later can be described as a special case of my definition, a synchronization of representational memory with the sense-perceptual phenomen...

Basically, its a general definition of every phenomenon that can possibly be considered temporal. A stopwatch can coordinate (synchronize) laboratory ...

Something is conscious if it involves the physical processes of consciousness. We know that brains are a condition of consciousness or animacy in thou...

Truth is stranger than fiction and so perhaps is this conversation, but philosophy doesn't have to conform. I couldn't resist bringing a bit of spirit...

LOL I certainly have the vision quest end of the spectrum going on at the moment, my dreams are off the chain lately. He hasn't said his name to me, b...

It's funny that science describes the desire to communicate with God using what almost seems like a medical term, as if a syndrome. And its strange ho...

Its interesting you brought in the hedonic psychology angle, because most such pleasure/pain theorists incline to assert that experiences of the prete...

I'll get all wild and crazy because I can't resist lol A lot more phenomena exist than the materialistic paradigm in science has explained, but if you...

You seem to accept some form of panpsychism and consider God the creator, meaning I presume that He is an extremely powerful entity while permeating e...

How do you know an absolute beginning exists? Why couldn't substance be inanimately eternal, with all psychical phenomena an emergent property and no ...

So you think the parameters of final causality which are present while form is given to the world intrinsically arise as a product of mind, in essence...

Looks like no one is pursuing my entangled superposition theory, but though I'm changing the subject, if anyone still wants to ponder that, backtrack ...

This is my conceptual theory in the absence of a comprehensive material explanation: How did the type of cognitive activity we have termed ‘conception...

I agree with what you said in general. But when it comes to mental health, many people take medications because it would be like having a bullseye pai...

I agree that medication is a crucial aspect of most mental health treatment and patients should follow the directions given by their doctors, that is ...

As long as we're elaborating, you should expand on this some. What do you mean by deinstitutionalization?

A lot of people in mental health treatment have an unusual cognitive profile that doesn't in principle preclude them from getting educated, working or...

I agree that mental health is an issue, but homelessness is more a function of authorities being irrational than ordinary citizens. I doubt enough peo...

Seems to me that the problem is not putting money in the hands of the individual, for it just gets cycled back into the system with spending, so relie...
