This is exactly the type of dialogue and anthropomorphism I was looking for in the discussion. Bravo. You grasped the aim of the discussion and delive...
oh wow I had no idea such a field existed. Very interesting T Clark thanks for pointing me in this direction. I will definitely delve into some resear...
Yes they are. I agree. Hence why I said unless harming those virtual characters spills over into harming or planning to harm the other distinct catego...
Yes. However I don't believe that victim has to be human, nor inherently living. Immoral acts can be crimes again the self, against others, against an...
I understand what you're saying. Fair point indeed. Allow me to clarify. We cannot conceive "accurately" of a "state of inconceivabilty." We can conce...
In essence, is someone who rapes a virtual character knowing there's no consequences, as moral as one that doesn't rape a virtual character knowing th...
my opinion is that an act can be expressed or suppressed/buried. Expressing it towards a fake or simulated being/simulation is worse than never needin...
so long as time passes, there is knowledge of it to be had: ever moment, ever temporal event has new knowledge as it evolves from whence it came - the...
This is human consciousness dependent. As in determining the consciousness of something based on the state of human consciousness. Hypothetically, if ...
Would you say then that you're more of a realist? Pragmatism and realism being highly inter-related. Idealism and imagination on the other hand being ...
I agree. Love is like some psychological gravity. The gravity between minds. Am attraction between beings which is objectively irrational, but intimat...
bravo 180 Proof. I thoroughly enjoyed your contributions here. Very apt indeed! Love it seems is all that is left when all rational arguments not to a...
I agree. Which is why I believe love is such a large topic of expression in art, literature, media and music. They are outlets for the frustrations, l...
How can one that conceives, truly conceive of a state of non-conceivability (ie. a state with no consciousness). That's like "something" trying to con...
True. It would have been a time where Descartes mindframe was less common. Not as much of the population was privy to such contemplations, nor at the ...
Dreamless sleep. A time in ones being, where there was no awareness of such. But one wakes up, and continues to experience, despite the lost time. Per...
For me jokes/ humour relies on purposeful misinterpretation/taking things out of common sense context: Usually by taking the figurative/ common sense ...
true. I agree we should never replace "reals" with "ideals" as ideals are restrictive and inflexible. Perfectionism in an imperfect world. That can ce...
I think cannabis like all drugs should be legal, in the sense that the usage/consumption of all addictive substances is inevitable regardless of law a...
Agreed. However how then is there an "opposite to science". For me its not "science or..." but rather "science and..." which goes to make the myriad h...
Karma is a process that corrects imbalances. Karmic injustice being the imbalance of "natural justice" (justice according to mother nature, or "equili...
Where does ethics fall into this? Is it pseudoscience? I certainly can't conceive of how science proves an objective ethics, or much ethics at all for...
Education is also hierarchal thinking. Democracy is also hierarchal thinking, communism too, and the great pyramids in their embodied structure/archit...
Of course I can conceive that he considered this. The only thing I don't understand is why, having considered that, and it's circularity, it did not l...
Is calculus not something that in simple terms, deals with "change"? Or the summation of minute differences/variances. I think that is likely one of m...
That's a shame. I quite enjoyed it/ thought it was well thought out and interesting. I'm not one for maths but that appears to already be a majority v...
In order to be all knowing, one has to be everywhere, ones presence has to directly encounter/ keep tabs on all data/information/interaction as they h...
As for the man who's kid died in a sexual reassignment surgery. Perhaps one ought to ask him alternative prompts for consideration such as, do all sur...
I believe what you are describing is something known as "cognitive bias". Satistically, there are lifestyles, sets of conditions or a particular seque...
If someone reads about "physics made me do it" and then goes on to behave in all sorts of desperately selfish or immoral ways after reading such, shru...
I think this is a good quote but certainly not a perfect one. Yes it is applicable even today. There are thoughts available to a person that should th...
Perhaps. I see what you're saying. And agree with your qualification of "this" as something that denotes a "sense" of unity and separateness alike. Be...
I like this very much. Bravo for bringing this to attention. I have a vague memory of having read such before but it did not arise for me when composi...
Yes indeed. I certainly agree. This was his attempt at opening the book on pure reason and logic, all assumption set aside. This is remarkable for the...
its interesting to note his willingness to venture into unknown territory yet at the same time abide by church law. It seems then Descartes was appeas...
I quite like the statement also. It's quite something to declare that one is going to abolish all that they know and start from scratch. There is iron...
Absolutely. Bravo. I agree 100%. Again. I agree. Gnomon I feel you and I are kindred spirits in that we share these very particular relationship and i...
Well, I would imagine ultimate doubt (lack of trust) in all things would lead to a pure stasis of inaction. Or even more extreme pure nihilism and dea...
Alright. I understand you. We will leave it there then. I will not discuss things further and please forgive me if I went into seriousness too much if...
May i ask, is it gibberish because I don't understand it. Or because you don't understand it? I'm happy to elaborate on what I'm saying or coin it in ...
There is no "fundamentally objective truth" because "objects" change (are not fundamental). "objective things" are those that are finite, measurable, ...
thank you for your clarification, I agree with it. No qualms here. It seems we are indeed speaking of the same things. Ah! See for me, personalising "...
A paradox. For this to be true, there is no truth. For it to be false, there is a truth. In either case truth is necessary and involved in the stateme...
Yes. Energy is both the creator (potential) and the created (matter). Thus nature is innately that which creates the nature of itself. Consciousness o...
This is a direct contradiction of terms. Truth is unflawed by its very nature. If it were then it would not be truth. It would be false (flawed). Whet...
I don't see how I have tbh. Can you elaborate on exactly what I have mischaracterised. I simply said a statement involving a dynamic between thinking ...
For me "what" and "that" are synonymous. In my case the choice between the two is redundant in and of itself. "That" which causes bananas to be yellow...
I think we have similar views Gnomon. However, I have some questions. When I look at the word "EnFormAction" I see three qualities: energy, informatio...
Because transcendence is about traversing boundaries. Unifying. Taking the separate and combining them. Science and religions are typically apart, seg...
