I mean absolute knowledge of. Something we can entirely hold in our thoughts at a single time.

Knowledge is relative. Surely we can get closer or farther from absolute knowledge of a topic, object, concept? The number "3" is well understood? 1 a...

I guess we will have to assume nothing is truly infinite.

Perhaps I mean objective and an altered memory of objective containing emotions for easier storage. So two types of the same thing of varied quality.

The brain isn't perfect. Although there are people who can photographically remember any day when you give them the date.

Good advice, and nice new avatar

I will check that out. Is it something that can be embedded into a forum? Or just an academic tool that everyone needs to buy a membership?

I'm incoherent in places.

That too.

I mostly use my smartphone. I mean like more complex venn diagrams, maybe drawing float charts for logic, or parallel lines to describe causations and...

You stated it yourself. Gender identity is a mental construct. Sex has to do with physical characteristics and potential reproductive function. What y...

Matter continuing doesn't have to do with conscious existence continuing. In fact matter exists like 99.9999+% of the time line while matter and life ...

I wouldn't call it a debate since I was talking to a priest who is dogmatic on all topics. I think religion tries to umbrella and over simplify all th...

I don't know what he was trying to say. I think he was trying to explain as if from a scientific point of view.

The argument of an impure human blood is a good one? In the pro choice counter arguments one might post a picture of a goat or whale fetus or somethin...

Rotten how?

Question. Is it true that even the president can't declassified documents that contain information about our nuclear arsenal? Might require congressio...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kT0HJkr1jj4 This video is informative. My takeaway is there are two sexes and a few people that biologically didn't deve...

Hmm. I wish there was a table of gases and the PH they would give water. I was informed that the most water soluble gases are the least life friendly....

Just the movie Tenet brought up a concept that suggested that some things can happen in either a forward or backward sequence and you don't know for s...

Nitrogen isn't toxic to drink?

I actually had a email correspondence with Dr. Greyson for a bit. He said many people who had terrifying NDEs might feel fear or embarrassment talking...

Do they say anything about this life?

You don't like bubbles? Lol.

Don't you mean a model "for" reality? It isn't based on anything measurable yet?

I wouldn't consider the interest in many physical worlds to be religious. If anything it brings more potential sufferings. Lol. Also it takes away emp...

In what way can time run backwards and cause and effect be unclear?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YM-uykVfq_E This didn't quite clear things up. Time crystals are said to bounce between two positions without gaining en...

Disorder means unpredictable?

The odds of something can be really good or really poor, but so long as there is a chance, and the event occurs, it isn't special necessarily. I think...

I posted in bio forum too. I am curious what brain function makes a person convinced the world is less real. Are you both French? I think I've seen Ag...

Thanks. I will read more hume. Chaos theory more physics or is there a philosophy version I should look for?

As far as disassociation as a disease symptom there is also depersonalization-derealization. If disassociation can only mean confusion can one imagine...

So we are at least 3D despite our visual system only seeing 2D images? So couldn't we be composed of 4, 5, maybe 6 dimensions even if we can't detect ...

What are you asking? I am just wondering about anything that might be hiding potential higher spacial dimensions from us.

What makes us 3D beings? If dimensionality is more complex than math and simply running a 3D sphere through a 2D plane showing only a 2D circle? What ...

Maybe if we experienced 4D space we wouldn't see curved lines created from gravity and in fact wouldn't experience gravity at all?

I think a PBS spacetime video suggested that gravity creates time. So maybe time isn't just strongly connected to space, but a spacial dimension itsel...

Very insightful. Thanks.

I think recent research simulated 2D space and projected 4D objects into 3D space? https://bigthink.com/technology-innovation/hints-of-the-4th-dimensi...

Interesting. But when people grow it isn't necessarily uniformed and might further emphasize the 4th dimension as a time dimension rather than strictl...

I don't know the giants metaphor. I assume it is irrelevant if a virus has purpose as it cannot even seek one. Even its very existence doesn't matter....

Well a virus isn't intelligent and doesn't need to think about purpose as it can't suffer or feel comfort. Also it isn't an organism and arguably isn'...

I will be strong if and only if medical advances focus on health span and not specific diseases when they show up inevitably due to poor preventive me...

I don't know why I exist or what I was supposed to do. I don't know why I feel like throwing up pretty much all day everyday without a clear medical r...

I was talking to a prospective date and she seeks someone with a strong sense of purpose. As far as I know Mr. Smith from The Matrix and Loki from Mar...

We live with or without inventing a mental/behavioral occupation?

Dracula dead and loving it reference. Nice!!

So basically the big bang theory is as weak as any other theory since we can't really measure events from 5,000 years ago let alone billions to have a...

Not sure if I understand those videos. Is the big bang necessary to have happened might be the better question?
