Dennett's argument is essentially that reality is physical, so a discourse splitting hairs over every conceivable illusion about the purportedly nonph...
The idea is that particles of conventional matter are embedded in aether, and apparently nonlocal interactions are mediated by emergent, integrated pa...
The key is the memory foam idea, that aether substance stabilizes the objects in their trajectories by some sort of imprint effect, but I think Bohmia...
Good post, but if you think what I wrote has nothing to do with quantum mechanics or relativity, we obviously didn't read the same books and some prom...
I'm curious if Bohmian mechanics can explain the full range of observed correlations between entangled particles on some scale at least. Supposedly it...
Pilot wave theory, forgot about it, not sure if it can explain electron spin correlation in addition to position properties, but I'll have to look int...
From what I've read, De Broglie wave theory is an intriguing model of what goes on inside the atom, but doesn't account for spooky action at a distanc...
You deleted the post, but that's funny. I'll admit I'm not a Ph.d, though I've been learning from some of the best books on the subject and I presume ...
Apparently you've never read a book or taken a course on quantum mechanics or relativity theory. Probably haven't even talked about the subject much e...
Slight tangent, but supradimensional causation within spacetime transcending aether that matter, physiology, electricity, technology etc. are embedded...
Objectivity is the platform for creative pursuits of even the most arcane kind to be possible, so fashioning a general framework and humanist value sy...
Instead of complicating our image of reality, I think quantum neuroscience along with field theory in physics will harmonize the physical and metaphys...
I think science is on the verge of addressing this with conclusiveness. It is essentially the binding problem of consciousness: how do trillions of di...
You are quite the preemptive skeptic! Not sure what role you are expecting rationale or practical basis to play as distinct from what I propose. I'm t...
a. the strong EM field of the brain is a global substrate largely responsible for integrating cognition via phase locking mediated in consort with vol...
Expressed relationships between electric charge, EM fields, EM radiation and the brain's molecular structure are somewhat nebulous, but that's still t...
What makes you guys so sure that if quantum properties are fundamental to life, allowing it to achieve the extremely fast rates of biochemical process...
That IS its property! New science though, not everyone knows about it yet, and a ways to go before we've figured out exactly how it works. The idea is...
A quantum hypothesis proposes that atoms of molecules are in superposition with themselves and their immediate surroundings, meaning they are in multi...
A brief comment regarding abiogenesis. It has been discovered that single-tailed phospholipids can easily be synthesized from a cocktail of constituen...
I think fields are both physical and mathematical, but the math is an idealization. Underlying substance, though it extends throughout the entire doma...
I didn't realize the question of whether or not a field is physical remains contested by some of the most accomplished Ph.d's in the world! The way I ...
In quantum superposition, an individual wavelength is composed of multiple wavelengths, which can also be expressed conversely, so 1+1+1=1, law of non...
Interestingly, an electromagnetic will explains the observations of clinical psychology quite well: a steady state, holistic consciousness that varies...
Electron distribution amongst a specific atom or atoms and the consequent EM field can be an effectively unified domain of integrated causality from t...
You're presuming that experiencing necessitates feeling, but no reason besides raw intuition and consensus to think it must. The uncertainty about wha...
I'm not much of a propheteer either lol I'll just say I think specialized AI, algorithms programmed for specific analytical tasks, are an invaluable t...
I'll run an unusual idea by you and find out what you think. What if a being exists that doesn't have a material body like humans, but can be anywhere...
I don't get that jazzed about theological topics beyond their role in leading me to question what I know. If God created the universe, then that unive...
I was being unfair to Wheeler's approach in judging an individual paragraph, just giving you a provocative perspective with some grains of truth to an...
Somewhat of a tangent from the OP, but the psychology of information theory could come around and connect with consciousness again, so I think it's wo...
Anything written about CEMI field theory and quantum biology by Johnjoe McFadden is excellent. Searching around for the researchers and theories that ...
Intriguing that the homunculus is placed where the cerebellum is located, which contains half the brain's neurons and has the most diversely intricate...
Badass chick with bow and arrow, nice! Gravity waves traveling at the speed of light have been detected in outer space, so no aether necessary in that...
I think science supports the assertion that empty space does not exist. What was formerly thought of as devoid of substance has always turned out to c...
The mental is a hard but, for some, inevitable subject to grapple with lol It is difficult for me to conceive of substantive causality as immaterial o...
Can you even roughly estimate the amount and range of EM radiation from a biochemical pathway in a neuron, for the sake of demonstration composed of f...
For the physics savvy who are knowledgeable about EM radiation, what are the factors that determine how quickly the intensity of this radiation dissip...
Yeah, I'm a US citizen, and the kind of situation I'm describing is rather new insofar as a totally irrational stigma is attached to individuals in tr...
The catch is that many doctors are trained to use their diagnostic categories for screwing portions of the population into submission to a system that...
The way it works in some parts of the U.S. is you go to the doctor, usually with some desperation, if they think you're a sucker or they are irrespons...
As I understand it, the "collapse of the wave function" essentially models matter insofar as large quantities of interacting particles give rise to co...
I doubt matter underlying the wave function ever fully collapses, as if an absolute demarcation between coherence and decoherence exists, but rather m...
It's not only that we know how to inflict pain but not how to bring joy, it's hard to experience joy in the first place when you're in pain, and human...
Have attempts been made by philosophers to reconcile a personalistic philosophy with objectivist perspectives? Would this approach qualify as existent...
What most fail to realize is that if someone is being tortured until he or she snaps, or is so dirt poor and perhaps addicted that crime is unavoidabl...
I think @"dclements", @"Judaka" et al fairly represent both sides of the issue in general, and we could get into further detail by comparing cultures,...
