Of course there are rules, the principle of thermodynamics and rules of Gravity among them. It's why our planes can fly and our cars can drive. I'm no...

No, you literally said "memory is preserved as the fabric of the universe." So, you did far more than referring to memory and quantum fields as "being...

No, but you're making them supernatural by giving them "physical" attributes that do not exist in the physical universe and making them physical in a ...

The problem with definitions like this, is it tries to include both the natural and supernatural while compromising both. The universe's fabric is not...

Souls, by their nature, are outside of time and space. And even Greene doesn't deny that Entropy pushes time forward beyond any breading. Not even his...

That won't win over many converts....:)

How do they happen simultaneously if they are diachronically ordered and one is supposed to learn from the past one? That would seem to counter the Bu...

The continual enjoyment of living and the deferral of its cessation.

Even if there is a "soul" travelling from body to body, the bodies in with the same soul would be different people. Different bodies have different in...

It's because they're all discursive. They may arise from and deal with material realities, but the discourses have no immediate correspondents in mate...

You didn't just misquote me, you completely misrepresented what I said. And I never suggested what you said I did. Instead of "misquoting" and strawma...

It's impossible to discuss the moon without discussing both our perception and the linguistic dynamics of our perceptions and representation of the mo...

Good luck on your dissertation, though!

No, my point was that even as brilliant a philosopher as Rorty was pushed away from his preference of idealist philosophy because he wanted a job and ...

If that's the best you've got, that's a terrible example of non-skeptical realist criticism.

A lot of that is due to the bent of Philosophy Academia where most of the professors are non-skeptical realists and very few students can get their id...

I never said I didnt' want to discuss with people I disagree with. I said I didn't want to talk religion, ghosts, and spirits in this discussion. Agai...

So, you can't show my statement was unclear. Thanks for confirming what we already know. Only clueless people think people making statements have a re...

I appreciate your response, but nothing in it countered what I said in my post.

God may exist or he doesn't, but he certainly doesn't have to exist as you personally define him.

Of course I made it clear, and you haven't shown I haven't. Feel free to try and do so at any time.

I'm sorry, if you feel your tale applies to my posts, it is your responsibility to show how, not mine to pre-emptively show it does not. You have yet ...

That's a fascinating tale. Unfortunately it doesnt' apply to me or to any of my posts.

You're just arguing against yourself here since you're not addressing anything I said.

My argument in my statement was concise and clear.

Biden would keep all the progressive voters (Dem, Ind, or Green) home on election day, as would Harris and Booker. Hillibrand would be a better pick i...

I made very clear what I correctly meant by "perceiving externally" and your notion of what "perceive" means is very wrong. Go look the word up. The h...

Did you really have to ask that. You perceive something externally when it is external to you. And the human body is not external to the human mind as...

You many not see the point in making that distinction, but many people do and have. It's a key distinction in phenomenology from Hume to Kant to Husse...

That's interesting, but one can only have external thoughts of someone else since someone else is always external to themselves. And stomach pain is n...

The fact you even ask this is very sad. We were discussing material reality, not unicorns. So, you're writing on material reality that was conveyed to...

As to what you "said about" me, I get irony; you clearly do not. The rest of your post was an unhinged rant to which nobody could rationally respond. ...

You said we weren't talking about present definitions. I showed we clearly were. So, your complement clearly fits...;)

You're hopeless: Noun 1. sense of touch - the faculty by which external objects or forces are perceived through contact with the body (especially the ...

We weren't talking about ancient man. We were talking about present definitions. So, you sure haven't been clear in what you've been thinking. Goodbye...

I didn't classify it into two parts. I said the Nervous system has numerous parts including the system of touch, which does not apply to stomachaches,...

Yes, but the stomachache is not part of that part of the nervous system. I've said that twice now. If you don't grasp it by now, that's on you.

Actually, I did in my first post, and you just confirmed I was right by showing that another English phrase ("it has fallen") could represent the acti...

Ease up, I never denied those facts...:)

Then you should be silent as you've shown a clear incapability of discussing the matter. And if you think observation fully elucidates representation,...

I hope you're being coy. Everything is part of physical reality, but some things are part of certain areas of physical reality, like linguistic realit...

It's also physical reality since "it falls" doesn't come close to fully representing the action that occurs.

No, that's not semantics; it's linguistic reality. I'm sorry you can't get that.

But the five senses do not include all our senses, since they don't include inner feeling. I would agree that thought and our nervous system can be di...

The tree physically moves in that way "it falls" aims to represent, but the action itself is not fully represented by the phrase "it falls;" "it falls...

Yes, but a stomachache is not part of that part of the nervous system.

No, they are not one and the same since the nervous system includes internal and external sensations and the sense of touch only involves contact with...

Sense of touch deals with external objects; the nervous system extends throughout the inner body allowing us to feel pain such as stomachaches.

I'm talking about the Press, Congress, and many Americans obsessions with (at this point) Russia conspiracy theories--and anything possibly related to...

Two things need to be proven which haven't: 1. Russia tampered with the election and affected the outcome. 2. Trump and/or the Trump campaign facilita...
