energy is finite in quantity but infinite in quality as it is the action of change, of transformation. Nothing is infinite in a specific moment, only ...
The way I see it is that time for the purposes of the external world minus consciousness time doesn’t really exist. Things just change. Constant creat...
Arguments for: protection of ones health, protection of fellow man, protection of the vulnerable, collaboration and cooperation, developing trust, fac...
Over all agree I would prefer to (and luckily do) live in a scientific based modern age than the barbarism of past societies. But I would like to make...
Yes indeed perhaps they would worship them. But I can’t help but feel they would be assassinated to the lament of their followers. After all we have c...
I wonder do morons have a low threshold of tolerance for smart alecs? Haha. The only type of idiocy I think is moronic is blatant refusal to acknowled...
Again another very valid point I feel. How would we identify them as human if they don’t have an intrinsic human quality - ignorance. We tend to belie...
True. But i feel people would kind of be like “oh why are you doing a thesis on such and such just ask person X they already know the answer you’re lo...
Yeah this is the line of thinking I was looking to discuss. That’s interesting I had the same kind of unnerving feeling that people would hate such a ...
No I don’t mean google. Google is not a person for a start and secondly it is not omniscient. It provides a lot of misinformation and useless informat...
Very true. However you could consider them as hyper-empathetic because they are fully and completely aware of each of our individual limited capacitie...
Yes but I didn’t ask about people who know more than you do/are more intelligent perhaps, of course they exist, I’m talking about someone who is ultim...
Not really lol. I mean we are talking about personal beliefs in a god or lack thereof so obviously personal opinion is one facet. All you said is very...
I guess that’s up to your interpretation. I think it’s maybe a comparison between to things that seemingly don’t elicit information or behaviours as a...
I’m not saying it isn’t chemically water. Of course it is. I’m saying as unit of water it does not have the properties we attribute to a fluid or crys...
Yeah but when you say this presumably you have a preconceived idea of the god to which you are rejecting? Like would it not be more accurate to say “I...
I think atheism is a false concept on a rational basis. Because there is an issue with the official definition in the dictionary which renders the ter...
Question: why the existence of the absurd or the concept of absurdity then? Why would anything irrational exist at all? Or do you believe that everyth...
That makes a lot of sense actually! How does a language master it’s descriptive power? By simply absorbing what it doesn’t already have from other lan...
Well think in the sense of structure. Would it be easier to go from a highly structured and grammatical language (like German) where say every noun ha...
I can think of several word couples with inherent gender like the word “male/female” “girl” and “boy” “man/woman” “king/queen” “husband/wife” “daughte...
Can you get -1 +1 (something) from zero (nothing)? Does the equation balance ? Or you can think of it this way: either “nothing cannot exist” (because...
Photon. A Photon is finite and quantised (Limited) but has no mass (cannot occupy space) Black holes: occupy space because they have a gravitational f...
By the phrase “spooky action at a distance” Einstein was describing (rather skeptically/ cynically) the wave- particle duality demonstrated by the dou...
If there was only black empty space it would be true nothing. Because there wouldn’t be something there to observe it as something. But you couldn’t e...
Whilst I agree with you in a general sense I would like to clarify my thoughts on the matter. I don’t believe the boundaries of religion and science a...
No it was simply one example of how no discipline scientific or otherwise can ascertain a clear defined boundary between self and non self. Autoimmune...
Lol. No we did learn it in school also. And I’ve never questioned it’s validity as it makes sense. I suppose what I’m getting it is there is a conflic...
I do kind of see what you’re getting at and there’s some personal truth in there definitely but a few statements raised my brown and perhaps you might...
ah. I see I have misunderstood the definition of irrational numbers. Not so much whether it is infinite or not but whether it can be expressed as a fr...
Interesting. Wouldn’t that mean that there’s no end point to increasing accuracy? If we suppose that perfection is reaching the point at which no furt...
Some theists believe the bear = house. What say you then? I’m not disagreeing nor agreeing merely curious. For some it’s an argument where one says no...
I absolutely agree. The education system in most countries presupposes the idea that “we must make children productive functional participants in the ...
Well true. I guess when we consider that we have a limited span of attention then technically every “new curiosity” is the abolishment of a previous o...
Thanks for the book recommendation will look into it and get a copy. It’s interesting the topics he deals with because I myself being an informal Phil...
Do you think maybe the fast paced working life of living in a society/ collective may be propagated by the entertainment industry for this reason? We ...
Yes I can understand that. I also remember being in my room bored to tears as a child (well more as a teen) and it can be intolerable. I also agree th...
I found your answer very insightful and enlightening. I had never considered how wonder persists despite receiving answers to the questions that perha...
Yes you’re right, it’s qualitative not quantitative. The brains of depressives still have the same energy usage as those without depression it’s more ...
No I don’t classify sex as inherently unhealthy. But I’m using it in the context of the brains preference for either immediate or delayed gratificatio...
Haha yeah it’s definitely a path we should explore - to make loose analogies between the mind and body in terms of basic needs - to gain that dimensio...
I understand what you mean but it is an inherent limit of language. We all use the same terms but due to “personality” and “individual identity and ex...
This presupposes humans are somehow outside the realm of nature; despite the facts that would suggest otherwise: chemistry in our body operates the sa...
well yes in a way I see what you’re saying. But then this would be a question of the diminishing returns of free will... that each choice reduces the ...
Im inclined to agree in the sense of relativity. For example if the spectrum of achievement is 0-100% ie from sad, depressed and impotent to satisfied...
I find this interesting that you understand entropy to be energies Achilles heal. I actually believe it’s energies greatest feat. “Rate” = energy/ tim...
If we take it in a strictly matter- energy paradigm... whereby ecosystems exchange energy and matter through cycles of life and death. And seeing as b...
