I have plenty of philosophical ability. You may disagree. That's fine. Believe whatever soothes you. But kindly don't dictate my ongoing debates with ...
Is it not relevant? If my mind is currently unreadable. No one esle can deduce what I'm thinking except me. Is it material? Is it physical? Because as...
Bartricks we are having our own discussion born out of the op but not related to it. Back off. We can follow the op or the line of reasoning that emer...
They experience reality differently to those that can see. Obviously. If their other senses are in tact then they can perceive them just as anyone els...
But we can't can we? Because in order to exist we must be separate objects occupying individual space that creates opposing perspectives. In order to ...
The fact that I can keep information private from everyone else is by definition something that is not physical - something that it is impossible for ...
If force/energy is material Should we not be able to see it just like we can see matter - a cup of coffee on the table. If you remove a hair I can't f...
But all brains are different no? Structured differently. Otherwise we would all have the same memories and think the same things simultaneously. You c...
I'm saying that my mind is exactly such an example. If you have no access to the entirety of my minds content then it is by default immaterial to you....
But I outlined a situation in which I don't volunteer the information verballyx but rather keep it to myself. You can scan my brain but with no input ...
I strongly disagree. Controversy is the place of learning. Conflicting ideals are exactly where we learn to apply reasoning and ethics. If we try to c...
Absolutely. Brava. Biological and sex Ed should "grow" unanimously with the person. In harmony. Children and teens should be exposed to such things as...
I agree Vera. The Internet is a place where every and any belief can be propagated given the right circles/groups to interact with. A worrying and dan...
Can natural systems created artificial things? Can the natural/organic (humans) create non-natural things? Or is everything a natural thing does/make ...
If the immaterial doesn't exist then I suppose the material cannot do anything. It cannot be acted on, move etc. Because what would exist to do those ...
I doubt you can remove anything from me that isn't vital to my interpretation/sense of the world without impacting my consciousness. If you remove my ...
But how do you empirically prove I'm experiencing it unless I tell you I am experiencing it? My internal thoughts are private to me are they not? Inac...
The only way people or groups of people (governments) will agree with such intents is if it favours them. Bad people, or wholly selfish, self serving ...
I can use the term "stone" literally/materially "I threw a stone into a river and it made a splash." Or I can use the term "stone" figuratively: "his ...
It would be different. But science is about shifting paradigms to those that have better explanatory power for what is actual about the universe. What...
Read that again bud. How then (if it is a concept) is it equivalent to matter. If it was truly equivalent to matter then matter is also, by proxy, a c...
It is difficult to say who ought to be in charge/ assume the role of such a monstrously responsible position. The Internet is dangerous and a gift sim...
I think what he meant was that there is information out there that we haven't yet obtained. Bigger truths that contextualised our differences of opini...
They're not conflated per se just dynamic in utility. Conflation denotes erroneous association. It's just that "and" can = "+" but doesn't have to. As...
I recommend factoring in space (distance) and time. Oh look that relationship appears to be speed. The speed of light - energy. (C) :P And we are righ...
Madness or martyrdom in the pursuit of truth. Have we not had a lot of truth seekers that we're assassinated for being too "threatening". Who is the t...
Well the issue is its already a fantastical positive tool for those that use it to its best. The issue is that all fantastical positive things have a ...
Not neccesarily. One and two equals three. Two pieces of eight of pie and six pieces of the same eight equals a whole pie. Maths can be written lingui...
We do know what M physically is because it's matter (it quite literally by definition "physically is". So by that fact we ought to know what energy re...
Hmm I think Einstein begs to differ. Energy is equivalent to matter. "E=M" (x c^2) The only difference is a function of light speed. If a few grams of...
Anonymity offers dissonance/uncoupling between the actions made (written/expressed etc) and the consequences applied. As with all things that can be g...
Agreed. However could A + B (summed total) =true? What remainder would that leave behind? Have we considered all when we united A and B ? Consciousnes...
My premise is "Ouch that f*@king hurt. Physicist why did it hurt?" Physicist :" because it contains a lot of kinetic energy (heat)" Me: Ah okay so hot...
On the contrary the hard problem of consciousness lies between the two opinions as to what consciousness is. So the zero proof of the wholly panpsychi...
Agreed. No one should ever be a victim of a mass attack to the point of suicide. Its desperate and we as parents or future parents can only think "wha...
Exactly. There are those that would continue to use the Internet harmlessly for comedy, deep dives, curiosity and knowledge. And are fairly smart, pro...
Okay so instead of a free for all where you can say just about anything to anyone anywhere in the world. Imagine that what you say (still free to say ...
Great questions Universeness. I think the primary issue with the Internet is the fact that it's a non-physical (meta) dumping ground of any and every ...
Odd question. But yes you seem to be so certain of your belief and determined to rationalise it that anyone like myself - who thinks the laws of therm...
Believe it lol. As I said "agree to disagree" here seems to be the best way to leave it for the time being. So if I put my hand up towards a fire I ca...
Out of interest I think the reason these wouldn't be condoned is they're biased. By focusing on the negative while not offering the other point of vie...
So, physics defintion of Electric potential: the amount of "work needed to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point against an el...
bravo Russell A. I agree. We can only observe the workings of another's mind through how they react to the world around them. We cannot feel what they...
For me the physical and the mental (abstract) are interchangeable. Such that I can take an idea (whatever it may be) and manifest it in the physical v...
