Well I think our views of reality are similar. You cited that it is the “collective agreement” more or less. The totality of everything we can possibl...

Don’t let the language mislead; “discover” can also apply to a state/ condition or substance that we have “created”. Ie. I “discovered how to manifest...

I would argue that we create knowledge. Information, physical, chemical and biological processes all pre-date us. But knowledge is a construction of r...

Tell this to those who refute its existence/ desire not to believe or be aware so much that they choose to be dead

Yes but your incoherent notion is only one description of such an entity. Of course science and logic have discredited a giant bearded man flying arou...

One would imagine (s)he is also the stone. The stone isn’t separate from god as (s)he is supposedly omnipresent. So the question is “can god create a ...

Is memory an activity of the brain? When we record/ document things we usually require a physical and stable substrate to code it/ write it into. But ...

Haha :p

Haha well I used the term in a loose and ambiguous way but perhaps that’s not how it’s interpreted by people at large for this reason - it’s derogativ...

Agreed. I think one can be self-entertaining. But it demands a level of persistent curiosity and pondering. An unstimulated mind is and unhappy one in...

who is to say that self actualisation is not @going with the flow” perhaps a goal or achievement is natural to you. That by simply being you, you easi...

I have grappled with this concept before. The universe should be able to account for ignorance, non-definition, abstraction and uncertainty. The heise...

Interesting that you responded with this because the original title of the thread was the importance of “absence/ nothingness” before I shifted focus ...

haha putting it frankly

thats an excellent argument. Admittedly I cannot argue with it so naturally I must agree. It’s nice to be swayed in new directions thanks :)

I had the very same thought and questions based on this argument years ago. It’s nice to see these ideas resurfacing independently through other peopl...

I have considered time from your concept also. For example if we had no ability to remember time would not pass. As each moment is completely novel an...

Language is not perfectly definable because it isn’t perfectly qualifiable. For example if I were to give the best definition for an apple. I would al...

But don’t all interactions require time in order to occur? Yes they can create a “sense” - subjective perception - of time but they still require an o...

yes it is possible for something to be true and false at the same time. Because of relativity of a state or condition to an observer. Consider a 6 pai...

For me “power” denotes the capacity of an agent (person, object or thing) to exert influence over/ augment a system. Power comes down to “work done” (...

how does one account for the existence of irrationality, abstraction, subjectivity and opinion via logical/ reasonable means? They are “true” in that ...

I feel that science is more of a methodology or “mindset” - so I find it hard to believe the pillars of logic could decay now that we have established...

Well idiots need entertainment too. There’s nothing more dangerous than idiocy with too much time on its hands haha

Could phone and text infrastructure handle a massive synchronous increase in usage globally in the event that the internet does not provide this servi...

I mean most probably. However I was thinking more along the lines of economics, transport, health services etc. Would it not be a bit more chaotic tha...

funny you say that coz I just ordered one haha

Perhaps I am.

Hmm interesting... but one would imagine all conscious beings have some consistent feature that they all share. The parameters scientifically speaking...

Many believe in “reincarnation for this or similar ideas. Why use the term “we” then. If “we” are “replaced” by something non- “we” in any way shape o...

If you offer someone two options: Do nothing and place your hopes on a provider which will give you all you want if you’re good Vs. You can be your ow...

But it already is. Water “is” but doesn’t mean it requires to ask or be in anyway sentient of why it is the fluid. So why do living things or at least...

Yeah I see what you mean and I understand from a strictly evolutionary perspective it satisfies the development of traits simply due to pressures exer...

Very interesting proposition. I too have considered a similar thread of thought in the past. The way I see it is with 2 assumptions: Assumption one: e...

Your reply gave me a lot of good insights. I agree with you it seems the ideal is to not desire help or frame your worth in respect to how much assist...

Good point. And I suppose if they have the view that they would do it anyway despite whether people are grateful or not means they aren’t doing it “tr...

And knowing it’s right makes us feel good

true. Assuming reincarnation (which I imagine is harmonious with the laws of physics - when energy and matter on a habitable planet is limited and the...

Haha. Well diversity is the spice of life. I can understand their sentiments. But for me life is brief and death is long standing if you consider the ...

I’m inclined to agree. When one steps back from daily life and really dives into the state of simply being and “knowing it”, to just exist as this str...

It’s interesting when one places living on the trophy case, denotes being alive as a state more precious than death. Why ought we treat the state of b...

Yeah this is the line of thinking I was taking but I wasn’t able to articulate it as well as you

oh okay interesting I wasn’t aware of they I’ll look into Noether’s theorem and conservation of energy a bit deeper. Thanks :)

Well I know a photon cannot lose energy unless it interacts with a particle. The amount of energy it has isn’t related to the distance it travels. It’...

Not sure but I believe this refers to the Doppler effect. If the transmitter and or receiver of a frequency are not stationary relative to each other ...

I think the catch here is that a perfect creator is incapable of creating anything imperfect for they would not know what that possibly is. All they h...

Hmm. Perhaps so that you may have the choice not to be? obstacles are meant to be overcome no?

Tell me this... would a perfect universe be worth living in. Would we ever understand it to be perfect. Or would it be boring. Nothing to gain for all...

I find it hard to believe the web has even close to all the answers. For if it did life would not be as we know it now. It’s easy to think that the pr...

Well I’m no authority on this but from my experience firstly suffering has to exist. If it didn’t exist neither would it’s opposite. You cannot know a...
