So we're not egoist anymore because we're sedentary?

Since 19th many theories have come, materialism is an stereotyped word you keep using and that is the proof that your Enformation comes late and adds ...

I think what is needed here is to define God. Because usually atheists are atheists vs a specific definition of God so... Too much stereotyping here. ...
January 31, 2021 at 02:31
These are your fears that come from your perception of the question, not mines. I think we were clear on this. You don't have to convince me of anythi...
January 31, 2021 at 01:59
Your text is quite cryptic for me but let me see if I grasped a bit what you tried to say. Ok, and who created God? or how got God created?... we're s...

Please keep reading my previous post where I explain quite clearly that I disagree with what you say. Gender/sex mean something when talking about any...

I find this a small detail, in a finite universe the exponential growth would stop once all the resources of the universe are consumed. But the idea o...

Enformationism : excessive belief in the enformation theories ( I couldn't find a good picture sorry) :lol:
January 31, 2021 at 00:36
Could you please mention some of those scientists or philosophers that think on consciousness as physical quanta? Maybe Chalmers? I can tell you not a...

Reading through this paragraph I have the impression you don't understand what information is. Do you have a definition of information? I'm curious be...

My worldview in few words? I consider myself a natural-cognitivist. Professionals on this have explained many things of the world better than me. I re...

January 31, 2021 at 00:14
Actually no one is responding so it looks like many people think like you do. I'm anyway surprise, but it is a learning for me, a sad one. I recognize...

Kurzweil's Singularity?.. so it will end up that all the energy of the universe will be invested-itself in knowing itself. Something like that.
