I think there is one about how memory is affected by damage to the brain, how psychedelics affect the brain since they are chemicals, among others. To...

Like the more people try to explain this the more I’m starting to think no one knows what the hell they’re talking about

Ultimate reality cannot be process by definition, things still exist. But even if I granted process that tells me nothing and if you’re not versed in ...

Not exactly. Quite the opposite in fact. In Eastern philosophy there is no subject or object, meaning there wouldn’t be anything to care about or pres...

This means nothing. The philosophy stack exchange said the same. Again, I think it’s because you don’t understand the physics behind it. Even with the...

Doesn’t really matter what the pioneers thought, they turned out to be wrong later on, especially with regards to observation and consciousness. There...

gotta say your sources of Quora and google AI is a red flag. They don’t really understand it enough, physics stack exchange is a good one. It’s where ...

allegedly. Though QM has come a long way since his time and turn out it doesn't agree with eastern philosophy.

So far my questions haven't really been answered about it. I'm beginning to see why this philosophy never really took off.

Based on current evidence you’d be wrong. The mind is physical, it’s the brain.

Poem is pretty much nonsense and not true but this part is definitely so. Based on what we know today there is no being unbound by concepts. Same this...

Not exactly. There is a reason the quantum stuff doesn’t really apply to the macro state so it’s not really affecting our day to day. This is just a m...

That’s a common misunderstanding on quantum physics and not actually what it says. Particles are real. Not…really?? Also none of this answers my quest...

More like how stuff would stop existing, it wouldn't. Stretching the imagination doesn't always mean learning new things, it could be delusion too. If...

Doesn't seem very smart or insightful TBH. Why bother commenting if that's the response? Methinks they don't fully grasp how just seeing things as pro...

I dunno, why is anything important? It's sorta the opposite effect really, if they just reduce this stuff to processes then people stop giving a damn ...

That seems kind of a stretch.

Ummm, what?

I don't think it's on there.

That's been my experience with Buddhism. Doesn't help they tell you their truth has to be experienced, which makes me doubt that it is truth. Well I h...

I think that might be thinking way too hard about it. The way I see it science gives us a close picture of that "ultimate nature" otherwise none of th...

It's the paragraph at the end above the References.

Yup, we can engage like this because of it along with pretty much most of what we use each day.

His first paper talks about how we wouldn’t label such things as life. Far as I know the materialist concept of consciousness has plenty of evidence b...

That seems like a mistaken notion of what realism is. Also that is how talking on the phone works since sound is pressure waves that our brains turn i...

Not really no. What I know is that science works and built the world and that there is an external reality. To the extent that we see it as it is is d...

My main issue is the existence of external reality, and the video says yes which is the main issue I have

There's a bit at the end of the paper that shows that theories can override our memory and interpretations even if the data is strong.

But the evidence showing how theories can alter our perception...

Maybe, but they are also extremely important. To be honest such questions are more important than ontological or metaphysical stuff. Well you can, it'...

In my experience it leads to more words but not really saying anything. Furthermore in my experience there are no insights in philosophy, just people ...

And I'm saying you don't know that.

Again it just simply is, I'm not a physicist myself but that's how they are. As someone who is if you want specifics.

I think Quine is just massively overthinking it. This is something most people engage in on a daily basis, if we're wrong in our assumptions we can ju...

You're saying he's not when that's what the argument is pointing to, even why that's a common criticism of him. You're not really making a good case f...

He is arguing against it though. Especially in that thought experiment, I mean...he might as well quite writing philosophy at that point if that's his...

Sounds like overthinking it to me, no wonder people accused him of being a relativist or a scientific skeptic. The dude is more or less arguing agains...

Still reads like he's mistaken IMO. I don't think a sentence can be translated in more than one way, but context does change that. One phrase would be...

I dunno about that one.

That was sorta my other take on him, but I still don't really think he's right in his conclusions. I'm pretty sure I say a paper proving his theory wr...

I mean...you either get QM or not, it's solid math so there ain't much else to say. And that's where I stop taking you seriously.

Not really, this is more like predicting future events. The store still standing is pretty much likely apart from a bomb going off or something. But y...

Not the same thing. You’re making a claim that something doesn’t last forever which can only be known in hindsight. Telling someone with suicide that ...

Nope, that’s called hidden variable and that was disproven by the experiment

I think it’s more like you don’t understand what’s going on. I told you what it means, doesn’t matter what you think it means that’s what it is. There...

That's not what non locality here means and Many Worlds is tenuous at best. It's not really look, measurement in QM just means any interaction even wi...

Kind of a dud answer if all you're gonna say is "it's subjective". You can't even say that, again it's hindsight. We don't know that.

The suicide prevention hotline has a success rate of barely 50% so their assessment on a problem isn’t exactly valid. And yeah the advice they give yo...

Well that’s what they are. It’s not a matter of belief. That’s is until they interact with anything, at which point they settle. I have read some but ...

They are and it's not.
