I said it indeed and I did a more detailed research on google, and it is indeed a bad word, especially in North America. So I need to accept I made a ...

Neither the dictionary, nor the admins help you, so I guess it is time to admit you were wrong. Calling me homophobe was very insulting and some excus...

ooo, that's cool. By the way, my question wasn't about the validity of panpsychism, but some of the answers were concerned more with denying panpsychi...

I don't understand.
June 30, 2020 at 17:43
Thank you for your interesting answer. I have thought about this complicated issue myself.
June 30, 2020 at 15:16
Makes sense.
June 30, 2020 at 14:17
I find that to be a true moment of inspiration. Great point!
June 30, 2020 at 12:24
Hmmm... I know I realise stuff that I didn't before. But is this process infinite? I mean yeah, I am more conscious than I was when I was a child, but...
June 30, 2020 at 12:10
Exactly because the matter that my brain is made of has conscious properties. My consciousness is a sum of many irreductible conscious elements, so my...

0 warnings in 3 years. You're worrying too much for me, let the moderators do their job. If they warn/ban me, it means I did something wrong. If they ...

1. IF quarks are conscious, do they sleep? - no 2. Can they be anesthetized? - no 3. Can they be knocked unconscious by a blow to the... string? - tha...
June 30, 2020 at 08:38
I actually find your argument pretty reasonable. But we can apply this vice-versa as well: how come elements with 0 consciousness can form something c...
June 30, 2020 at 08:35
Good questions!
June 30, 2020 at 08:30
Thank you, I have read them, I find them very reasonable, and so far I think I've done a good job in respecting them. This is why I haven't been warne...
June 30, 2020 at 08:29
Is there a rule in this sense?
June 30, 2020 at 08:22
I don't know. I am here to understand these things, not to provide answers haha
June 30, 2020 at 08:12
No, but I think a normal person is just as conscious as a distinguished PhD performing surgery.
June 30, 2020 at 08:11
.....? I have absolutely no idea.
June 30, 2020 at 08:09
Keep accusing people left and right they are being racist and homophobes and one day you will have a huge majority tired of being accused for no reaso...
June 30, 2020 at 07:46
Not necessarily, you should also assume P1 as being true. Maybe everything is determined goes for every structure before reaching the biological state...

I am not a native speaker, but I searched the Eglish dictionary and this is what I found: https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=ALeKk03X1xjc7bfjXW-czrnQ...
June 30, 2020 at 07:22
1. You are ignorant: I didn't mention Dennett when I posted the question. Moreover, I said he doesn't deny consciousness. 2. Regarding your other accu...
June 30, 2020 at 05:32
I think we are at the begining, in that romantic infancy of the process when quarks move their positiom when we look at them, when things are in 2 pla...
June 29, 2020 at 17:44
I think it has. Things function in this reality because it has.
June 29, 2020 at 17:42
These are technicalities and I cannot get into them because it is not my field, but I can only say I did a research and I haven't found flaws with pil...
June 29, 2020 at 14:52
It did. And of course a thing cannot be in 2 places at once and it doesn't "care" about being observed or not.
June 29, 2020 at 14:24
Pilot wave has no empirical flaws and it contradicts both GR and probabilistic QM.
June 29, 2020 at 14:16
I am not a scientist, therefore my language is very limited. But time will eventually tell GR is wrong.
June 29, 2020 at 14:09
I am sure it is a case where many mistakes bring you to the correct answer. It is simply illogic and against common sense and reality cannot be like t...
June 29, 2020 at 13:27
GR is so illogic. E.g. if you live on Mars and work in London, if you wanna travel by the speed of light (in order to arrive earlier) you have to leav...
June 29, 2020 at 13:19
True. You will see GR's success fade away soon. And l don't need to know science or to test something illogic. GR's success is due to the fact that it...
June 29, 2020 at 13:15
I am not a sciebtist, but I have seen different plausible variants. You can check on YT. But even if we didn't have alternatives, I don't think believ...
June 29, 2020 at 12:58
Quoting is more important than the idea itself. Quote, or otherwise nobody believes you. Trust me, I've been through this before.
June 29, 2020 at 12:55
There are many ways in which you could reach the same result. Pilot wave for example is a theory with no less success in empirical results than probab...
June 29, 2020 at 12:36
Saying Einstein was wrong is a blasphemy.
June 29, 2020 at 12:33
Relativity is absurd, wrong and I hope it will soon dissapear. To believe time and space curve it's simply hilarious. I would argue relativity also ha...
June 29, 2020 at 12:11
Some of you argued about Dennett's view. Let me explain: 1. Dennet doesn't give a damn about the consciousness, his point was to make us believe that ...
June 29, 2020 at 11:54
Things have just become complicated again, apparently.
June 29, 2020 at 10:49
Come one man, I've been asked several times, I have provided with links and I have mentioned I've seen this in various documentaries, articles, etc.
June 29, 2020 at 10:17
No, and although I have mentioned him, I wasn't the one who brought him up in this debate.
June 29, 2020 at 10:08
I am not a native speaker and I pay little attention to writing when I debate. It's bad... I know.
June 29, 2020 at 10:00
And my answer was...? I really don't remember mentioning names.
June 29, 2020 at 09:39
I do, but my memory is short. Could you please tell me who that folk is?
