Qualia as quantum is simply a different mechanistic framework to perhaps more widely and inclusively model the same and maybe further substances. Alte...

My eventual conclusion was very similar, that qualia of all types - feelings, sensations, perceptions and so on - are the additive properties of super...

Without tissue being equivalent to qualia, no qualia can exist, that's the entire mind/body problem from an empirical angle. Quantum physics possibly ...

We had a lengthy discussion on this topic in the first Qualia and Quantum Mechanics post that contains the seeds of the idea, you can find it in the p...

That info about photosynthetic reaction centers is from a book, Life on the Edge: The Coming of Age of Quantum Biology. Its extremely well-written, ea...

I mean that in an individual reaction center complex associated with an array of chlorophyll pigments, it doesn't matter where a photon contacts the t...

My hypothesis is that qualia occur from the additive properties of wavicles whenever they entangle and superposition. In non-living environments, thes...

So in your estimation, EEGs aren't finely tuned enough to pick up the causality of standing wave states? What kind of research has been carried out on...

The general form of your theory seems valid to me, though I've never encountered some of the terminology. How does a holographic phase space work? It ...

The way I understand it, energy is fundamentally a mathematical entity like you seem to be saying, a completely abstract quantity. It is a definition ...

By "coherence field" I'm thinking of a bulk entanglement structure, similar to what researchers are finding in photosynthetic reaction centers but lar...

The comparision between entanglement and idea conception is interesting. Maybe qualia of perception and thought could be understood as the additive pr...

I like the webpage design of your blog, easy to read. An interesting insight I got from a chemistry chat, though of course the psychologically oriente...

To expand this, spatio-temporality isn't a universal substrate, as if all existing matter is defined in relation to a single, absolute container. The ...

Since we're talking about how organic matter produces mind and plugging our blogs, I've been giving consideration to exactly this subject, and you guy...

Some more quantum weirdness to contemplate! Does The Case Against Reality employ any similar sorts of ideas? In exactly what way consciousness emerged...

Um...no comment lol

I think the issue of human essence reduces to the nature of mind as the intersection of material environment/anatomy with immaterial experience linked...

Current science suggests that quantum effects are crucial not just to consciousness but all biological systems. Tunneling is speculated as the main me...

Maybe the concept of mathematically or algebraically exact equality is produced by a synthesis of the counting and spatial structure modules of cognit...

Someone explain this "field" idea to me. I think of forces as the interactive properties of mass, and particularity as the classical interpretation of...

So a theory, tell me what ya think! The substance of the universe is essentially quantum-like, with intrinsic non-locality and supra-spatiotemporal ef...

Not sure if you're going to read all of this, but some more detail to discuss. These historical blurbs aren't entirely adequate, but maybe you can hel...

Rattling the anthrocentric (not anthropic oops) cage. Maybe human rationality's materialist interpretation of the world as composed of inanimate objec...

Education gave me an ultra-rational personality that aims for consistency and integrity as basic guidelines, a means to generally avoid diminishing pl...

I'm not an atheist, I think all beings have a spiritual nature, but I'm also a critical thinker, and all public accounting for this spirituality has t...

I agree that a non-historical science should not be the arbiter of value, although some like using it propagandistically in sometimes ingenious ways t...

A difficult metaphysical subject. I don't think we can consider natural phenomena "normative principles", but rather accidents of local conditions, wi...

I think a lot of pressure can be put on some demographics in modern society to commit suicide, sort of a bogus analogy with biological "programmed cel...

I will absolutely abstain from abhorrently abbreviating your abstractions about "aboutness". lol I agree that an infinite fund of abstentioned ideas i...

I'm going to gadfly you regarding the notion of "normative natural laws". lol I can't think of a single supposed "natural" principle that isn't anthro...

A computer game could be a success.

A game, a school activity, element of literature curriculum, the possibilities are endless.

Maybe if philosophy could find a way to make formalized logical structure a generally intuitive subject by some pedagogical technique, citizens would ...

The book I read didn't say whose sperm it was. That'd be a lot of sperm to keep track of. lol If I were to venture a guess, it would be that slender m...

Read your essay, interesting, hopefully I'm not gagging you with banal analysis, but thought it could be a good discussion. Not that schooled in polit...

I moove towards wherever reason leads me. It is constitutive of my moomanity. lol

I'm not actually a strict veggie guy, but I would convert completely if I could get nutritional equivalence. Killing animals and raising them in squal...

All that really sustains a large-scale meat industry is probably the expanding range of specialty seasonings in yuppy recipes along with disposable tr...

What I think we really should do is fully transition to solar power and use the surplus energy to grow our own gardens in residential greenhouses. If ...

I also can easily get in touch with my inner barbarian. Some people find certain meats repulsive, but I don't have that reaction at all. At the same t...

If a fish is making decisions based on perceptions of cause and effect, I think this qualifies as some kind of rationality. Maybe not Kantian, but per...

I apologize for the interjection, but maybe you et al who have a good grasp of economics can help me understand something. Where is all this money tha...

Cultural and sub-cultural divergent evolution happens unconsciously and rapidly, almost to the point of creating totally discrepant worlds, so dealing...

One of the most pernicious techniques of social control is manipulating relationships, mentalities and general behavior with pain. Pain can change a w...

I've probably got some unique insights in this area from being psychologically tortured during an unjust jailing for many months with a high level of ...

Language probably hasn't greatly changed the core of the hominin technology-producing thought process, very much based on reasoning and causal recogni...

I seem to recall Kant not claiming that morality is essentially rooted in the rational premises he called maxims, but rather is as metaphysically inde...

Not as idealistic as Kant, didn't "write it on the tablet of my heart", as the Bible says. lol But we can discuss it, I'll come back to you guys with ...

I'm referring to the categorical imperative, if we can will an act with import for the well-being of the community to be a universal law, then it is m...
