Does a person really have to separate themselves of ego and thinking they themselves are important in order to successfully be philosophical?

Not sure what you're saying, but surly I've known more words in my youth.

What is a truth table?

How does Mary describe the knowledge? I can describe east and west as being 180 away from one another and each 90 degrees from north. But what knowled...

Somewhere in the video I think he suggested that if 1/3 is correct it suggests that the multiverse might be possible. Don't know how large a leap that...

When we see color I think we only gain knowledge about the physical phenomenon that allows for the phenomenon of color, namely wavelength? When we dre...

Yes

I do agree with that statement. I only use the word subjective to mean not objective which might not be mutually exclusive. I probably keep using the ...

I will check it out. I'm not partial to a blind person seeing color as an evidence because color might well be entirely of the mind, and for all we kn...

I guess the answer is 1/3 of being his only child. And it is based on a 1/2 coin flip. But what is the takeaway?

No emotions don't explain anything. But the main attributes described in NDEs aren't terribly informational. Mostly colors, music, and stuff that can ...

I am looking for a way to not dismiss NDEs as they seem to be emotional experiences and the Parnia experiments involving upward facing numbers are les...

I have been interested in NDEs and OBEs research but haven't found strong evidence to support them as beyond physical. Some have claimed in a near dea...

I guess that might help, but tactile senses are different part of brain. I guess emphasis on color, sheen, translucency and stuff that are strictly vi...

I still don't see how the odds are changed if the fair coin is flipped only once. If it were the lets make a deal problem of selecting twice, once ini...

I updated first post with YouTube video title and channel.

I don't understand the video I think is the issue. I have to assume the odds of a single flip must always be 50/50 if it is a single flip. The video i...

You believe people are corrupt or not corrupt from the start and don't go from one to the other under any conditions?

Perhaps we need to be omniscience about the futures caused by our actions from the near future to the very end of time to even begin to set standards ...

I think studies have been done on children who thought they were being watched versus not, or those who were suggested that an all seeing God is alway...

Some greed is for vanity, but many of those excesses aren't perceived to be taking from the resources we all need. Super expensive watches are basical...

What makes an action good? Lets say there was a hod that created us all and only created us to causes us to suffer and die? If this god defines what g...

I heard a study that said money doesn't buy happiness beyond $80K. What could prompt someone to do such a study if people had a clear end goal to how ...

Nothing we make will live long after us. DaVinci's Mona Lisa isn't nearly as crisp as it once was. Hasn't even been a thousand years. Our accomplishme...

Life can be mundane and it feels like our choices and actions make small difference. This is the appeal of superhero movies. These are people of robus...

There are many people with genius IQs out there. I don't think most of them are responsible for the greatest accomplishments of humanity. Odds are goo...

Master Splinter really helped Michelangelo chill out.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz1n0RHwLqA Here's a video on simple versus complex and its relationship with order versus chaos.

But was there anything special about the ancient one in this main universe we follow? Or could a universe that is identical except that the ancient on...

In what way? Assuming there are an infinite number of universes wouldn't there be just as many universes in which she/he survived as died?

So why would the rest of the multiverse care that this particular one died?

Thanks but I understand the geometry. I was just assuming ethereal lovers were imagining something real versus thought stuff only.

What is metaphysical? Just like virtual particles that can become real in our scientific sense? Is spiritual stuff outside of both physical and metaph...

Thought experiments are one thing, but people who straight up claim that death or even astral projection can show us these higher dimensions is quite ...

I see. I know Americans aren't the most liberal in the sex department, but generally I don't know of anyone going to jail for anything unless it does ...

Anyone else in this forum take an active interest in NDEs?

Can I DM you? I would really like your references to NDEs and the Harvard study concerning hallucinations you mentioned.

:up:

When he describes materials like sodium, potassium, silicone, etc changing proportions without it being clear where the extra stuff is coming from.

My thought too, but is there anything wrong with the math?

Ok. Thanks.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sPGZSC8odIU This seemed just about as thorough as they get.

How many people would you imagine have had NDEs? According to Dr. Bruce Greyson they pretty much all tell about their experience to everyone like a pr...

Possibly, but I think people generally go with one or the opposite.

Is my question unreasonable? The spirit wouldn't leave the body unless it was in rough shape? I truly want to believe in conscious existence after phy...

If 90% (likely more) of people that are clinically dead and will likely stay dead without medical intervention don't have NDEs, how can it not be cons...

If 100 people are clinically dead for a time and only 10% have the experience how doesn't that cast doubt onto the legitimacy of it representing consc...

I think biologist Dr. George Church thinks he can modify our code just enough not to change us, but to make us unfamiliar to pretty much all viruses. ...

That's some Dr. Strange stuff. Lol.

Largely primates. Got ya. Few enough that we considered having apposable thumbs a milestone that isn't taken for granted.
