You are aware of thought, that can be answered using science; scientific explanation replaces certain, in every context. Thoughts: "I'm here, thus tho...
January 24, 2020 at 20:07
no because certain wouldn't be scientific. A tarot reader, maybe, not a philosopher. Thoughts are possible because... I think. Therefore, science on t...

Solipsism is weakness or an incomplete theory of an alternate reality. Is it stupid to think you're the only one? Then great danger may be before you....

"I think therefore I am", can be reduced to, "I act therefore I am." Thinking is an action, thus "I act", would be more sensible. In all honesty I nev...

Is there a way that art can be judged truthfully? If art is thought about for it's meaning, it's not thought about for the artist's skill, which is a ...

Art doesn't have to be beautiful but beautiful art can be made. Beauty is that which is kind a person's or group's sense. Different people can conside...

Art doesn't need an artist - it needs balance. An artist is an expert.

How hypnotic of you.

What do you think, you can answer yes or no to the God problem through metaphysics? Then the answer is Atheism.
January 21, 2020 at 23:42
I think you'd need super powers, more than metaphysics to truly measure God. Metaphysics deals with what's in the universe. God isn't really in the un...

So a raven is a black thing? Okay, I'm with you. all black things are black, all non black things are non-black. A raven is a raven.
January 21, 2020 at 22:57
Why is B = R? You might as well say ravens are black winged birds, etx. Rather than going through thought-process on primarily their blackness, consid...

They are part of the universal mind, 'spirits' probably use trees.
January 21, 2020 at 22:30
But what a pointless expression that is. It proves if unicorns exist God might/does exist. All non black things are non-ravens, no all non black thing...
January 21, 2020 at 22:16
Consciousness is a state created by beating heart and mind with universe.
January 21, 2020 at 22:07
But all black things are not ravens, so you would also have to add it's direct definition. What you have then is so close to a raven, you might as wel...

I was talking about the bird itself is using the wood, whose is the nest? It's like - 'I am making a base' - the bird says.
January 21, 2020 at 15:20
What can be expressed in a pure sign has far more potential than what can be expressed in words. Art, is not just a sign, but meant to imply something...

God is a specific creator, not creator in a neutral sense. A builder is a creator of buildings. A God is a creator of universes? No. That's not right....

Surely he's using someone else's art(in reference to the bird and nest picture).

That is beautiful mate. The symmetry of the right and left horse, and the sea-like desert texture, caught my eye.

Thought-process on fundemental nature and non-exclusive time.

Your words aren't cheap my friend.

This one's on the house.

I drew this. https://i.imgur.com/TqrJJih.png It's art. I'm tenative to move away from the definition, it's an expression of 'human consciousness', and...

Haha. Is that all seagulls do? I've always liked the voice of seagulls - such a beautiful chord. And don't get me started on the grey seagulls.
January 20, 2020 at 23:24
What's the relationship between beauty and art? Can a beautiful person be considered good art? In the following scenario, a human has the best eyes; t...

If the artist means something in it's art, then the correct way to interpret it is by that degree. However, is it ok to interpret art incorrectly? I t...

Good luck in your thought-process.

Again, I'm unsure of whether creator is the right word. My idea is that an ancient species used certain resources from their environment to create the...

I agree with you GCB, but I think God is a poorly characterized creator, and the bible, non-scientific. I, personally, believe the universe was create...

Are mental phenonmena non-existent? Are mental phenomena fabricated? Does the physical world project color? It's a common notion that our eyes interpr...
January 19, 2020 at 12:58
Yes, it is atheistic, but by no means does that mean it's against an idea of a creator, nor other simulations. God is a characterized creator; it's al...
January 19, 2020 at 12:47
Edit: I take back what I said and agree with OP's answer. In theory, saying it's at the peers discretion, limits art. I have thought this through now....
