To what extent does naturalism make statements about technology, ethics or politics? I don't see any connection. In my opinion, naturalism only says: ...
Bell's inequality can be explained with Bohmian Mechanics. You have a 3n-dimensional (n elementary particles) quantum potential, which is non-local. I...
That is correct. The only certain thing is that we ourselves are conscious (I feel, therefore I am), but this cannot be proved to anyone else. In the ...
Let's make it even simpler. Let's say you have an identical twin brother who is almost always around you. Then you can't imagine being him either? Is ...
I don't get it. Let's make it simple. I think you can imagine (roughly) being another person (e.g. John Malkovich). Can you also imagine being all act...
That is a very good argument. I would like to add that someone can possibly still imagine being a fish, but no one can imagine being a school of fish....
I think the answer is the Schrödinger-Newton-Equation. "The regime where the mass is around 10^10 atomic mass units while the width is of the order of...
That is pathetic. When someone is at a loss, they refer to an ominous have already explained. The status "not born" and the status "already dead" shou...
In what way is someone dead in a different way if they are not born than if they have lived and died? If a child is born with the exit-pill and it is ...
Suppose there were a pill that killed instantly, should parents be allowed to bring children into the world if the children were allowed to take that ...
Let's assume that's true. Children often say to their parents, "Why did you give birth to me?". The parents might reply, "What would you be if you had...
Of course I read it. Nevertheless, everything depends on the evaluation of self-non-existence. If self-non-existence is like hell, then you save someo...
In this "neutral" lies the problem. If death is self-non-existence, how are we to imagine it? Seeing nothing and hearing nothing? But the perception o...
@all: This question is easy to analyse, but probably impossible to answer. 1) There is rebirth, then you have to compare the probabilities of what the...
@"TheMadFool" I do not compare A with Z, but A with A* and Z with Z*. And of course I consider not only the body but also the memories. The memories a...
Compatibility is not enough. That 3 times 3 is 9 does not contradict the world formula, but it does not explain it either. Physicalism, as epiphenomen...
I can simplify the thought experiment even further. Let us assume that physicalism is true. Then the description of the world would simply be the part...
The teletransporting / copy-beam thought experiment shows that it is unclear what the objective solution is, not that there is none. Both the beaming ...
How is the brain state defined? Let's assume that a super technology makes it possible to replace every neuron with a functionally identical chip and ...
The brain changes every moment you learn or forget something => you are another person every minute. Please explain how you can be identical with a dy...
When you go to the toilet, how can you say you are the same person afterwards as before? Afterwards you are lighter than before, so you cannot be iden...
No, it isn't. It is simple set theory. You simply compare the set {A*,B,C,...,X,Y,Z} with the set {A,B,C,...,X,Y,Z*}, where the star indicates which l...
As already mentioned, the worlds should not exist simultaneously, but alternatively. Thus the question does not arise "where" these worlds are. A simp...
It is incredible how such a simple proof can be so misleading. Two ideas are compared. Can two ideas be identical or only the same? It does not matter...
Of course they are identical. This is the core of the proof, it is not a bug, it is a feature. More formal speaking you compare world A = ({A,B,C, ......
You compare two visions. They are not beside each other. They are alternatives. And they are not equal. It plays a role being one person or another. D...
