Who is this folk?

I agree. But you also have to agree you're jealous of my success hahaha

My opinion is biased (which, by the way, doesn't automatically makes it invalid) in the sense of beliving that when you are searching for the truth, y...

Finally, a good point )))

Ok, I didn't see the ''?''

1. Please show me exactly those things indicating I am a theist. 2. Even if I were a theist, would that be sufficient to make me being wrong? I see ab...

No problem!

Thank you too! I think begging the question means nothing in terms of the obviousness of the fact that we exist and have consciousness. It is the most...

My problem with some philosophers and scientists is that they come with a baggage of personal beliefs and sometimes they just reject everything that g...

SURE!

Ok, I think you have a point. I have also noticed the toxic influence of the media. I also think Dennett is a "cool guy", but I also think he cares mo...

Terminologies are not important for me. If materialism is an atheistic view and it does not believe in a magic soul for example, I have no problem wit...

It is not a philosophical question, but it's about philosophy.

But materialism seems to have a fragile majority according to John Searle, Chalmers, and others. They also claim materialists simply deny consciousnes...

Exactly! And it is said they represent the majority nowadays.

Than why you replied?

https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/03/13/the-consciousness-deniers/ that's a good article

The video you've posted. He says consciousness is ''a bag of tricks'', it is not magic, and it does not reflect the reality with 100% accuracy. I don'...

I wasn't talking about Dennet, I have actually mentioned he admits consciousness is real.

You can wonder only if you have consciousness. no, it's self-evident To believe scientific information you need to be conscious. Being in a non-consci...

Yes, the media and the desire of some guys to become popular is also toxic to science.

I've heard the materialists form the majority, but I've also heard that majority is fragile and decreasing. Hopefully we'll have a new alternative soo...

I am not proposing a dictatorship by banning discussions. I am just worried about people who truly believe in those things and I really think they nee...

When it comes to materialism and all the other non-sensical philosophical ideologies, I still hope psychiatry will do its job.

Why you don't want to thumbs up that one: 1. Mr. Bee claims that in fact those 24% are many-Chalmers. 2. Chalmers not only believes in consciousness, ...

I didn't claim that. It was, in fact, an argument against my ''majority'' statement.

I mean serious mental issues )))

Will I find ideas like ''reality is a computer simulation; we don't exist; a thing exists only if I perceive it''?

I don't know much about these ''authorities'', but I thought he was a panpsychist, not a dualist. Panpsychists deny dualism. But I don't care that muc...

Indeed that was my ''the most reductionist'' personality ))). I do believe biological things are fundamentally different.

They don't exist, but they are...

In fact, that poll has little to do with my problem here. Even if 2,4% believe this, it's a problem. Even if 1000 scientists believe this, it's proble...

If one says ''If we arrange atoms in this way, we obtain something with consciousness'', I wouldn't disagree. Consciousness may be in fact a result of...

If equivalent = correlation, or how does the subjective reality manifests itself in the objective reality, or vice-versa, that wouldn't be ridiculous....

That sounds to me more like religion than what science should be. That's scary!

If one says consciousness is a result of neurons interaction and that there's no magic, I wouldn't call it a ridiculous statement. But denying the exi...

- even so, 24% is problematic. I am not talking about those who say consciousness is different than most of us believe, I am talking about those who s...

Ok, here's the thing: consciousness exists because: - I am wondering if it exists - I have the illusion it exists, and to experience illusions, I need...

So I wasn't right about the majority. But I truly believe 1/4 of scientists (minimum) have a real problem: they cannot accept things that somehow get ...

Ok, I wasn't right, but still 24% is absolutely massive and I simply cannot understand how rational people can sustain such a crazy idea. I wouldn't b...

Dennet is a funny guy, but at the end of the day he's just a "bag of tricks" too. Let me explain how his philosophy works: Consciousness does not refl...

))) If that were the case, I would be the rich son of a tennis player. Unfortunately, I was talking about the National Physics Olympiad, and Balkan al...

you were totally right about the type of materialism I am fighting against, and it's the one very popular in the academic world, that is why I am so s...

- you see, I 99% agree with you in principle, only I cannot agree when you say Chomsky does not believe in the ghost when he actually said "everything...

Super-nice. I really hope you will be objective. My father won the 1st place in physics in my country several times and I believe he was also no1 in B...

I really think Pfhorrest was pretty right saying you have a similar vision to Chomsky's. The problem is that he isn't materialist. I guess you were fo...

Than just try to laugh yourself at today's science. Seriously, future scientists will laugh their abstract asses at how we "curve" space and time by r...

PS: I thought I heard Chomsky saying "our mind is cannot comprehend the reality". Materialists say they will explain everything through matter, while ...
