Determinism

Free Will v Determinism, and also a pretty succinct encapsulation of my broader philosophy.

Re: A God Argument

You fail to grasp the nature of the pattern of existence, and a critical axiom there of. You will not get instruction (a correction)* because you post faulty arguments, based on faulty assumptions. *There is no debate on this. There is a correct answer, and all those that are not. You do not know, ...

Diebert, Yes, this is well known science although a perceived change in "universal" constants does not mean you can just extrapolate all kinds of alternative universes from that. IF the best scientific model for the operations of the physical constants includes their variability, and you a...

A God Argument

The following is an argument that I posted on youtube requesting the response of an atheist. It's not exactly the language I would use here, it pretty much assumes a scientific materialist perspective from the outset. Critics are welcome. A. The laws of nature are specifically aligned to allow for t...

Re: With only one consciousness, reality cannot be confirmed

Take a peek at what David said in another thread. as soon as the mind starts to create and perceive divisions in Nature (e.g. things or events), cause and effect immediately becomes a reality. In other words: No things = no cause and effect = beginninglessness and endlessness. Things = cause and ef...

Re: With only one consciousness, reality cannot be confirmed

Dennis, Solipsist is a label. It may or may not be that labels correspond to objects. That's the question in this topic. Do labels, mental or linguistic, correspond to objects? I can never prove that they do, I can never prove that they don't. It is the very fundamental epistemological limitation. B...

Re: With only one consciousness, reality cannot be confirmed

The fact is - there is nothing outside of your consciousness and it is you making all boundaries in the universe. Then you are a solipsist. I didn't claim that I was disproving solipsism, just proving that differentiated existence is coextensive with logic. If logic is universal then there is a uni...

You would not be able to say this if you answered, at the least, 25% of my questions.

I don't like getting into the strategy of...

Can we substitute the phrase 'mother of all algorithms' with the word 'rosary' and substitute 'little algorithms' with 'beads on a string'. Now we have, Rosary and beads on a string. effectively it's the same object, because we have a 'whole and parts' condition. we must be very clear concerning th...

And I can create realities within myself I did it this morning. It may be that you're using the word create differently then I would.

NL2G, We aren't our thoughts or senses but experience these and have confused them for our Self. Our Self is actually a conscious awareness that isn't bound to this physical experience but can enter the realm of the non-physical awareness which pervades all things. We even have the divine potential ...

Re: With only one consciousness, reality cannot be confirmed

Yes of course; only the totality of one big algorithm is responsible for all things. How do we know that? Our mind that is contained by consciousness told us so. Don't worry if your mind wanders. It won't get far. Logic is either false, in which case the world cannot be explained. Or logic is true,...

While there is ego there is desire. There's no getting around that. Transcending the ego is the only way for desire to cease; desire and ego are two sides of the same page of paper.

I just put up a video outlining why I believe that academic philosophy is a joke.

Ultimately, Being is. what do you mean by that? do we have a Parent? where's the evidence? Does being exist? That question brings being into being.

The "undifferentiated informational singularity" can only exist as a conception as it is contrasted by something (consciousness), thus negating it's own existence as a separate entity. It certainly negates its existence as a conception outside of perspective, but how do you conclude that ...
