I'll try my best not to tinkerbell haha. What do we mean by "information". For me it is synonymous with "change" and thus requires two distinct states...

it answered us with 100 years worth of more questions. Time is the greatest contributor to philosophy. Not a who but a what.

:P omfg dead. Haha. Go you !

Thanks Universeness. You're precious. That's exactly what I did and exactly what happened. Oh well, it seems some questions are un-questionable. I gue...

I won't dont worry. Thank you for citing the relevant guidelines to me. That was thoughtful. I just don't understand how you were in agreement before ...

Hey ssu I've had my second post deleted by the moderators :( I wasnt trying to aggravate anyone merely ask questions. What do you make of the situatio...

Hey universeness, I've been censored again. :( Baden had my last topic of discussion removed a second time because I didn't ask him if it was okay to ...

Ah okay thanks Universeness for your insights :) I'll pm a moderator and ask where it went.

Me neither ssu. :( the rationale behind it is beyond me. Exactly! They are correct within their confined/discrete context, of which their are larger o...

I don't follow Vera sorry. Can you elaborate for me it's a little ambiguous. I might be being a bit thick. Edit: Nevermind I re-read and I get it now ...

I think that "sufficiency" and "neccesity" can be synonyms for one another. They need not be two things but rather one thing. What is "true" for examp...

And that we are. If not in potential alone then act. Error must exist in some format/manner so that truth may exist by proxy.

"90" is only sufficient to tell us about 90 of something, something yet unclarified. 90 degrees celcius or 90 degrees kelvin, now that tells us about ...

Well, is our body and brain not progression of physical matter also? Our body has an inherent rhythm, from which our mind (the energy coursing around ...

Indeed mark. In physics we standardise time as a constant so we can place it in reference to other phenomena and make calculations/predictions. What i...

This is very similar to heisenbergs principle of uncertainty. Take a particle at a single instance in time. It is a fixed point. Locatable. But we hav...

I do too. Nicer than we are currently at least. I think we should have a more balanced approach to our predatory nature and our ability to sympathise ...

Hey. Is this a nice/kind or formal way to address another contributor? Disagree yes. Defame/shame someone on that basis, No. I think that's quite inti...

That it does Gnomon, that it does. :)

That's a good attitude to have. I match it in return. I like your confidence. It seems then one must be open to anyone's interjections if you are real...

Unless of course Gnomon and are in agreement. In which case either of our answers are some variation of eachothers, fundamentally agreeable. And that'...

Bet you I could describe knitting and geologys similarities. If you'll welcome an attempt just for fun. There's always a link. Every discipline carry ...

Why say many words when a few will do just fine Alas, 'tis the power of condensing information with big impact into a little box".

Ah, so you don't want to talk to me about it just Gnomon. Is that because you can't talk to me about it or because you don't want to? Do you also fear...

Well then I suppose you already have your answer. Why ask anyone else in the first place ammi right? Haha

Okay. Lol. Bartricks = not Christian. I got it. Okay no historical explanations. No psychological explanations. Check. Got it. Sorry I guess they can'...

Quantum entanglement is the cited model you're looking for 180Proof is it not? For one particle to be in one state the other must be in the opposite s...

ah okay my apologies. I get your intent now. Carry on haha my bad.

If an omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent being exists then we live in a utopia correct? (because they have all the knowledge and all the power ...

Perhaps I will. I'll do that to satisfy your whims. Im open to having my opinions swayed by reason. If I wasn't open to that, I guess I would just be ...

Gnomon that's a brilliant question. And yes, I understand, to be quite frank, it's one of the most challenging questions I've been faced with answerin...

First of all you just contradicted yourself saying "no one is saying quantum physics is not contributing" and then said "it is not needed". Surely con...

Speak for yourself. Haha. I do understand to well. And can explain that if you want me to.

Well now in fairness you didn't ask more about it did you? I'll oblige you with an explanation but only if asked for. I can't force feed views down so...

Well that seems reasonable. Theres no shame in assessing your own current limits of exploration of a topic. No harm no foul. We can't study everything...

Yes I have. And apparently you haven't. Yet jump to conclusions despite that fact. Are all experts talking trash in that case? Should they just assume...

Oh interesting. I assume you're a quantum physicist then, having given such a definitive answer as "nope". I'm Sorry I didn't realise you were a profe...

I'm not sure sure we are that far from it, given the pace of technology and the advancements in AI. And what is a brain? How do you define the charact...

Is it? Can you provide proof of that? I think he fact that quantum physics shows us that observation has an influence on the outcome demonstrates that...

Yes I agree I think science will make much headway in explaining consciousness. I think it will likely come from quantum physics tbh. But because cons...

No biology, no "biological thoughts" (thoughts strictly characterised by/and in biased reference to, biological organisms.) If thought (storage and pr...

Yes, you can manipulate others beliefs and thoughts, for sure, it's easier than imagined, either through discourse or physically (by administering psy...

I couldn't have put it better myself! Such wisdom is heartening to see. Your logic is very sound to me.

Why do they have to end up in the materialistic sphere to be considered valid? Does everything have to come back to the material? Is it impossible to ...

Are they? There's no overlap between the reasoning and ethics of philosophy in scientific pursuits then? If they are indeed completely different field...

We think alike bert1. A good explanation of the nuances between panspychism and personal conscious awareness. Bravo.

Well I think he ought to have not critiqued Newton's findings as incorrect as they're extremely useful and gave rise to a pretext for the elucidation ...

It might be helpful if you quoted what he/she said so I could understand better her point of view. I use scare quotes for certain words as I have a du...

Yes. I do. Elizabeth of Bohemia stated against descartes dualism that the immaterial soul (which one imagines means consciousness or the mind) cannot ...

No I'm saying its a dualistic setup. The mind is electrical energy represented as meaning through symbolism - physical representations (anatomic struc...
