hint: maybe ...the one alternative to either believing or disbelieving, the path so seldom traveled unfortunately

I don't know.

It sounds like the ol' human cognitive trap of trying to explain an infinite reality using a finite brain, which is the very essence of the Big Bang T...

reality & Reality >?< Is that another false dichotomy? Could we not add re-ality, real tea, your reality, my reality, pseudo-reality, artificial reali...

Can we conclude, then, according to that line of reasoning, since an apple and a seed inside that apple occupy the same space, the descriptions of the...

I cannot believe that. At the same time I cannot disbelieve that. Does that make sense. Can one not believe and not disbelieve concurrently?

"What does Kant mean when he claims that:" First of all that's one of those blatantly illogical, in its literal interpretation, state university quest...

Did anybody catch theirs yet? And what's the great attraction to tail-chasing .
February 04, 2021 at 04:46
I'm interpreting your meaning to be that you have a different set of opinions. This is hardly the place to be offering up absolute declarations of fac...

excellent but first i'll have to change my username to tokinoutmi-arse and you to popcorn.
February 04, 2021 at 04:13
Using that line of reasoning, could we not conclude that Earth is occupying the same space as the Milky Way or even that your head is occupying the sa...

Why does the word "reality" need a modifier like "absolute"? Why can't reality be simply "all that exists"? Why can't personal reality simply be an in...

Are you saying that information and energy are synonymous? Information = mass * velocity^2 ~?~ Oh, no, now I see, I think. Are you saying that they ar...

How do you suppose "the great minds" of antiquity navigated before there were all of these later greats to mimic?
February 04, 2021 at 03:39
Hmmm, if your brain is over there and my brain is over here and if they are not hardwired together, then that kinda sounds like all of us are effectiv...
February 04, 2021 at 03:32
Just as a point of interest and perhaps, an additional perspective on the notion that moderation is "necessary"... Way back in the olden days, there e...

How do you discern in your mind whether any particular concept that you hold is false or unlikely or likely or true or otherwise plausibly indiscernib...

What is your working definition of reality?
February 04, 2021 at 02:45
Are "things" observable? If so, in what sense are they observable?
February 04, 2021 at 02:43
What is the nature of the information that the senses input? How would you describe that information? How does that information compare to the energie...
February 04, 2021 at 02:30
Oh, dear! do you not believe in solutions, absolutely settled for all times, truth of a matter? Does your heretical self not believe in answers and a ...
February 04, 2021 at 01:27
To me, it would be unimaginably profound to encounter some physical evidence that would logically suggest that truth is knowable to the human creature...
February 03, 2021 at 04:56
Amid the flurry of accusations, derogatory epithets, and dismissive banalities, I heard no a whisper of any interest in evidence or exploration of pos...

Simply because you have a nebulous feeling that you are at the center of the Universe, does not translate to the fact that you are at the center of th...
February 03, 2021 at 03:53
oops there. I claim to know nothing. I'm offering you an opinion and whole new way of looking at the world. Do, PLEASE, notice that I admit and submit...
February 03, 2021 at 03:47
I suspect that there is no metric for making that determination. I would offer that IT is not about where you are and what must be fixed at any cost. ...
February 03, 2021 at 03:44
That's not a bypass. That is a SOLUTION, a rational, logical explanation, a very plausible story to explain what might be real. I could be wrong, but ...

i'm going with "probability taken personally". "Luck is probability taken personally. – Penn Jillette, who attributes this quote to Chip Denman"
February 03, 2021 at 03:34
Well, it's nice to be able to entertain some people in mirth. I don't see a philosophical problem with "what can we know?" Once one accepts the mundan...

It's possibly no more than extreme behaviors driven by genetic predispositions stimulated by pheromones.
February 03, 2021 at 03:21
I have nothing of any value to offer because I view all of politics and news as theatre, and I expend considerable effort to ignore as much of it as I...

How about a little redneck advice in my very best redneck voice...?. Don't worry about it. They got the numbers. But we got space. We own this place. ...
February 03, 2021 at 03:11
If it is not innate, genetic predisposition I would be shocked. I've been banging around a few philosophy forums here and there over the last some wee...
February 03, 2021 at 02:56
It honestly sounds like a rigged system going from bad to worse. My notion goes something like this. Public schools and state universities are designe...
February 03, 2021 at 02:41
I don't have any evaluation of "important". But to my way of thinking, your question gets at a core human quality, that being the nature of our opinio...

Does chaos imply that there are forces in the Universe that are independent and are unaffected by other forces in the Universe?
