Right but that’s not process philosophy. Again none of this gets to my real questions and it doesn’t seem like you understand process philosophy eithe...
February 13, 2025 at 19:29
Well there is a “right way” but I’m not versed enough in it to know. We aren’t even done with it so any philosophical stab at it is moot right now. Fa...
February 13, 2025 at 19:27
But my main question is what does this look like in day to day life and how one manages and interacts. That’s all I care about, what does it look like...
February 13, 2025 at 18:30
All I know is from what other physicists have told me, that a lot of people misunderstand quantum field theory and think it means what it doesn’t. But...
February 13, 2025 at 17:57
Well not really. The level of atoms is so small that most people couldn’t fathom it or what it means, so when you learn atoms are mostly empty space i...
February 13, 2025 at 17:52
You never really made much of a case until the end, so there isn’t really much to respond to. Even you said as scientifically true isn’t accurate. Sci...
February 12, 2025 at 21:37
I would say the base level particles that make up reality. As for flux and sameness that’s a matter of interpretation, hence some of the holes in his ...
February 12, 2025 at 02:47
It’s sorta hard to regard this well because Gnomon not only doesn’t understand (or read) the things they cite but to think Terence McKenna is a better...
February 11, 2025 at 23:38
It’s more like they haven’t been able to answer my questions, which seems to be a running theme with this philosophy. That’s an exaggeration. Just bec...
February 11, 2025 at 22:33
That last challenge I think rings loudest because this doesn’t really tie into real life despite what folks here might say. All I’ve really gotta is e...
February 11, 2025 at 22:06
Maybe. But that said no one has really been able to explain process philosophy and the last paper I read ended up showing how Whitehead failed
February 11, 2025 at 21:50
Not really. Indigenous people had varied views on the matter. For everyone one about cycles and flux you had another about spirits and stuff. Also it’...
February 11, 2025 at 18:19
if you don’t know you don’t know, doesn’t seem anyone does.
February 11, 2025 at 17:10
Again not explaining anything. Do you not think it’s dehumanizing because according to process philosophy humans don’t exist? Because that’s my point ...
February 11, 2025 at 16:36
Not really showing the ethical implications with the first one, though it does show how needlessly complicated they make it, not to mention the issues...
February 11, 2025 at 15:41
I think maybe you just don’t understand it. Like when I said it was dehumanizing and all punos could really do is insist it’s not. Even the guy you qu...
February 11, 2025 at 15:06
So far no one’s been able to answer the original post.
February 11, 2025 at 14:39
You never really explained why, you never explained anything.
February 11, 2025 at 14:13
Because they didn’t address my questions so I didn’t respond. He also pointed out the flaws with process philosophy. And you still never answered my q...
February 11, 2025 at 14:12
A simple “I don’t know what it means” would suffice. Far as I can tell he posited a God under it all as directing things, but he didn’t speculate invi...
February 10, 2025 at 22:55
This is why you don’t go to Quora for answers. It’s not… Debatable. Again not really especially since it’s not New Physics, no one calls it that anywa...
February 10, 2025 at 22:52
This is why I often take the Buddhas stance on metaphysics in this; it doesn’t matter. Also why I don’t partake in philosophy often. Just seems like n...
February 09, 2025 at 23:05
I would say it doesn’t do a good job of that considering how successful Darwin’s theory was and how barely anyone uses Whitehead.
February 09, 2025 at 18:56
Spiritualism, from the evidence, appears to be nothing more than delusion. But my question is about the ethical implications of it which you keep dodg...
February 09, 2025 at 18:50
I just know it’s matter and that it’s solid from what physics says. What it’s made of is uncertain. As for the process I guess it’s just that if I see...
February 06, 2025 at 19:13
So what does that mean exactly? That people don’t have emotions? That they can’t love or feel pain?
February 06, 2025 at 17:24
I mean, to be blunt, you didn’t really try? What you said seemed off topic and didn’t make sense.
February 05, 2025 at 19:16
How is this related to the thread? Like I said, the subconscious is just automatic biological processes not some hidden “you”.
February 05, 2025 at 18:20
So then what’s your point then?
February 05, 2025 at 17:53
I mean that’s a real thing. It’s one thing to know when you don’t understand, but it also helps to know when someone doesn’t, which doesn’t always inv...
February 05, 2025 at 17:53
Well from what I understand it’s particles and matter. The “everything is made of fields” thing is a misunderstanding of it, it makes people foolishly...
February 05, 2025 at 17:06
That’s incorrect. You misunderstand nature. Because it’s called cognitive dissonance. But what they have isn’t true compassion since that requires att...
February 05, 2025 at 17:04
It’s more like recognition not imposition. Like…you’ve said nothing besides errors in how the brain works.
February 05, 2025 at 16:53
Not really. No it does not. Consciousness doesn’t DO anything.
February 05, 2025 at 16:53
It does actually. Not really, the subconscious isn’t what you think it is. Again, what was the point of that.
February 05, 2025 at 16:51
That doesn’t seem to be the case. There is no subconscious as you are making it out to be or “layers” like you make it. The subconscious as we know it...
February 05, 2025 at 16:47
Well if the person who preached stuff like that ends up drinking themselves to death it does sorta poke holes in his "insights" since he clearly didn'...
February 05, 2025 at 05:28
What does that mean? Also I saw the show but don't see how it related to this or what you said.
February 05, 2025 at 05:20
Yeah but then what's the difference if they're both just processes? What makes one human and the other not? Well according to that other user apparent...
February 05, 2025 at 05:19
It's more like you're not really doing a good job of explaining it. On some level I understand what it means, that since things are dynamic it makes m...
February 05, 2025 at 03:32
You realize the irony of quoting Einstein for process philosophy right? Well no, if it's a process then it doesn't live or die so it doesn't matter. I...
February 05, 2025 at 03:24
You're not really making much sense. Also based on the evidence consciousness does make "referral" to the brain states. Like I said, you're not making...
February 05, 2025 at 03:07
I feel like process just needlessly complicates it. Well from an ethics and morality view, if stuff is just processes then it doesn't really matter si...
February 05, 2025 at 01:47
I wouldn't say there are no things as such "events" are made of things and are themselves things. In some sense they are identical with themselves ove...
February 05, 2025 at 00:51
Not exactly from what people have told me. It's more complicated than that. I mean there are bodily processes sure. But as for the difference between ...
February 05, 2025 at 00:46
If you don’t understand that’s fine but don’t pretend that you do. Some articles say “from things to events” and I’m left wondering what it means to s...
February 04, 2025 at 23:45
If my brain was dead so would I because I’d be dead. A dead brain is dead, a living brain is alive. You could just explain it to me rather than ask qu...
February 04, 2025 at 23:35
By definition no, but I’m doubting the existence of mind. I couldn’t say, since no one has really been able to explain it or answer my questions. As f...
February 04, 2025 at 23:10
Like…to be blunt: what does this mean and why should one care? You haven’t answered this, just saying that it contradicts current materialist understa...
February 04, 2025 at 22:30
You don’t really understand quantum physics enough to comment on it. You keep referring to the founders when our understanding has evolved since then....
