I used to watch the roulette wheel and after 5 or 6 reds in a row, I would bet on black, thinking it was due. However, the past does not exist and so ...
The trouble with definitions like “consciousness”, is that they rely on words and the trouble with words is that they are sounds which point to things...
At the moment of conception, there is a rapid expansion of cells, like a Big Bang, only on a biological scale if you will. Looking at our observable u...
The universe is not expanding, objects in the universe are simply moving away from each other and the space within which they are moving, in is infini...
If time were finite, it would have to have a beginning and an ending. Since time is only a measurement taken from now, to as far back or forward as on...
Depends on what you mean by “real”. Life seems real while we are living it, but before our birth, we did not miss not being alive for an estimated 13....
Size does not exist outside of the consciousness doing the comparison. In the case of human consciousness, that which is bigger then the body is big a...
The earth’s core generates an electro magnetic force which passes through everything on the surface of the earth and extends for miles beyond the surf...
Body and mind are not two, they are one. Mind IS body and body IS mind. In the abstract nature of thought, which divides that which is indivisible, th...
If two people stand back to back and begin walking away from each other, the space between them is not expanding, all the is happening is the distance...
Although the hard problem of consciousness has not been resolved, I suspect that without our senses, there would be no consciousness. It is through ou...
TaySan, what you are saying may very well be true, for theories may not be proven as true or false. The current theory of the Big Bang makes sense to ...
You make a very good point. This physical body which we all refer to as “me” is here now and yet it was not always here now in this current form. Go b...
I agree. So far, the hard problem of consciousness has not been solved and perhaps it never will be. I suppose it is similar to getting into your car,...
All physical forms are temporary, even the Sun was born and will die in so many billions of years. Although we did not always exist in our present for...
I’m reminded of one of John Lennon’s songs “life is what happens to us while we’re busy making other plans”. Also, there is a Buddhist saying “do each...
The past is just a measurement taken from “now” to as far back as one wants to go and the future is a measurement forward. However, life itself, does ...
If one can answer the question “what is a real philosopher” then they already are a real philosopher! Since our “own” reality is the only reality may ...
What is a word, other then a sound that a human makes and what is a sound other then a vibration in the air? Just as a map is not the territory, a wor...
To make the assumption that only humans have conscious minds, seems odd to me. How could one possibly “know” this to be fact? The only consciousness t...
If one views the glass as half empty, then one favours the past, when the glass had more to offer. If one views the glass as half full, then one favou...
The starting point of time is the present moment, simply because nothing may be measured sooner then “now”. “Now” is the zero point which gives the co...
This is good thinking! Find the job you enjoy doing, even if it pays less. Do not put off living in the moment because the moment is ALL we ever have....
Opposites produce each other. In order to have big, we need small to compare it to. In order to have stars and galaxies we need the vacuum of empty sp...
Yes, I feel that was what he was pointing to. The English translation of the word “Tao” could very well be “the way of nature”. The way of nature come...
It is my belief that Lao Tzu was pointing out how, where and why words fail. What is a word after all, but a sound made in the air, representing somet...
The origin of the first cell and it’s evolution, assumes that there was such a thing as a first cell. If matter and life “always” existed somewhere in...
One may not split zero into anything, because by it’s very definition, zero energy means that there is no energy there to split. When you talk about q...
It is my philosophy that the Big Bang is a local event in an infinite universe. The vast distances involved, means that the light from the next closes...
Numbers do not exist! Humans have invented numbers as a way of expressing certain concepts. The concept of one apple plus one apple equals two apples ...
Are you talking a better world for people in general or a better world for you, in particular? Philosophy is a way of looking at things and if you cha...
When I order off a menu, I believe I have a choice as to what to eat. Once a choice has been made, one might say it was determined, pointing to the fa...
Life did not have an origin, it was always here, just like the universe itself. Life arrived on earth by comet, which carried frozen life forms in a s...
Agreed. However, I was not referring to the same point in space, but rather the same starting point (season) in relation to the next orbit of Earth ar...
I agree that “ everything that will ever happen, already exists” but disagree that it “cannot change”. Everything that might exist, exists in potentia...
That which does not exist, may not be measured, therefore it is infinite. We call it SPACE, because it’s not there. That which may be measured, for ex...
Simply because something is written in text, does not make it true! It becomes laughable when a self proclaimed expert, like the one in the Fake Buddh...
Music is the language of the soul. Words are vibrations in the air, sounds made to represent things which are not sounds. Music is also vibrations in ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism One may choose to believe the words attributed to the Buddha or Jesus Christ, or not, that is the beauty of fre...
Humans make stuff up, that’s what we do! We make up language, to communicate ideas. We make up stories for book, music for mood, movies for entertainm...
You are in the same boat Baker, unenlightened and without a clue on what nirvana IS. Philosophy does not claim to be fact, simply a view on how things...
