My first thought was, is that Ringo Starr? Turns out it was. Lol.

Evolutionary pressures aside, is a more advanced hand imaginable?

You are stating language to necessarily be a more advanced form of consciousness and therefore a successor only?

First off, nobody can experience zero gravity. Secondly all we can do is count all the people who were clinically dead for a time being and if less th...

Maybe expand "language" to any intention? Don't we intend or want something before we interpret the associated emotions and then consider the words ne...

There was at least one person that believed the language part of the brain (I assume Broca's area) was the source of consciousness. Now I think it mig...

Wayfarer has covered this topic?

Glad you finally got an appropriate avatar. Lol.

Isn't M theory a good thing? It tries to combine all aspects of previous string theories into a single thing? Also what else can a theoretical physici...

So Michio assumes too much might be possible when there isn't enough to open that door, or he is fantasizing too much on impractical ideas that might ...

Perhaps if an object expanding in all directions at the speed of light being made of many atoms at what point is a bunch of atoms an object and when i...

Perhaps, but who would be there to see it. It's just interesting to think of something expanding into all space and into no space at the same time.

Well if you had a dead body in your yard the police would write a report, the medical examiner would write a report, maybe the funeral people would ke...

That's what I figured. I wouldn't even use stupid human behavior as a reference. Lol. I assume if time was truly circular entropy couldn't be possible...

What do you mean? The past can't actually also be the future?

Can we assume the existence of past, present, and future? The past supposedly happened because we remember things being different and may have witness...

If I think about an apple or any unchanging object and gather all details of its attributes can't I then at the same time examine the thinking process...

One person reference the pyramids as to why our future gives us the technology to create the pyramids? That is crazy. I mean we still apparently went ...

If philosophy only raises new questions has science answered anything other than by way of discoveries that give philosophers more to ask questions ab...

Way TL/DR

Never played it.

Maybe I prefer games that are more intuitive and less objective. Clearly there are no people as powerful as the queen is compared to pawns. And certai...

Nora Jones isn't your cup of tea? Lol.

I assume with chess they know a computer will always win without testing it further. Go I think only has a very high probability of beating a person?

Jazz is perfectly fine.

The thing I dislike about chess is the lack of creativity and the ability to beat someone in like 2 moves regardless of having pretty much all your pi...

Yes but can a computer beat a human 100% of the time? My point was it has even more possibilities than chess.

Does our DNA evolve within our lives though? Of course our species has been able to continue and adapt to our environments or else we wouldn't existen...

What is the point of DNA that degrades versus evolves? Can we assume that everything that occurs has a reason?

Isn't empathy and goals for society betterment a self serving self preservation tactic that biology put into place which also degrades when we do? Old...

We don't know our purpose so we can't consider what we leave behind when we die as either good or bad. Sure we know the legacy of famous people who di...

I didn't say I couldn't be content with dying eventually. My emphasis is on the value of living based on our DNA's decline. Even if it is unique at al...

Free will aside. Can we ever be more than a clear computer program? Even computers accumulate errors and fail, and they too don't evolve from their or...

What is the difference between Predetermined and Determinism? You are saying free will and determinism aren't mutually exclusive?

Epigenetics isn't that new. Yamanaka Factors can actually wipe them off the DNA making the cell behave younger than it is. But the DNA still has error...

I have no issue with obscurity myself. I don't like the idea of oblivion is all.

If we don't live to see the destination, we have no right to be proud of the seeds we plant. I want to know the value of our own biological identity a...

You got to keep your memories? I can't remember half the people I work with daily and I'm in my 40s. I suspect blood plasma dilution or senolytics are...

If our only identity is genetic ultimately, and it constantly is deleteriously changed over time, what value does it have? And as far as predetermined...

What do you mean by transhumanism? If you ask age researchers, at best they think they "might" be able to stop human aging in 20 years, by then I migh...

Sounds interesting. If you find the study I'd love to read it.

None yet. Those in the group I joined seem to like putting up so many conditions for testing the ability. They say the viewer and "tasker" should know...

So would most in here say right brain associated abilities alone would not do much towards science processes?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6837438/ According to this the side of stroke or aneurysm doesn't change prognosis that much.

As far as aneurysms and strokes I hope gene therapy makes regeneration of the brain a possibility. So far optic nerve has shown potential for regenera...

Recently I have taken an interest in testing remote viewing. Some say it's totally legitimate. Others say it has never been proven scientifically. I j...

Actually I think the eye position and brain access thing might be a myth if you're referring to detecting lies versus remembering the truth?

That is pretty incredible. I have heard of brain cancers that called for removing half the brain. I have also heard of studies of blindfolded seeing p...

Ok. Consider this. We can look at a beautiful painting and give it a particular meaning. It can evoke emotions and even trigger memories. Imagine if w...

I guess subjective isn't quite an opposite to objective. So I guess I mean objective that doesn't have emotional connotation or anything that isn't pu...
