Stardusty Psyche said No, thoughts are a physical process, they are not nonphysical.

Write4U:  This is a tricky question.

IMO, thinking is a physical process. But thoughts are a non-physical result. A controlled hallucination.

Think of a tree. Does the tree physically exist inside your head, l…

Mind, heart, and soul are brain function.  That is a subject of science.  What is called the mind is actually a dynamic process of brain function.

I suggest it would be more accurate to say that mind, heart, soul are the results of brain functions.  Think on it some.

Yes you could all them woo because they are names for things that are no…[Read more]

Oh and how does that gibberish you quoted offer Understanding of anything, god or physical ???

Your God is a figment of your imagination reinforced by your Ego.

You quote ancient tribal texts, sheep herders and traders, “seers” and politicians – from thousands of years ago.  It’s got nothing on the sober study of material existent – that would be physical reality.  Stuff that you chose to dismiss.

May Your EGO Bless You and The god o…[Read more]

Say the high school drop outs

It’s mainly a lot of emotionally unstable people beating their heads against the wall.

That’s a funny one.  What is mentally stable about refusing to recognize physical facts buddy?

AlterEgo2:  Credible science supports the Genesis Creation account

“Genesis Creation”, please help me understand what you mean by that – are saying Jehovah created the universe, Earth and all its creatures in a six day creation spasm, six thousand years ago?

WOO?   Perhaps Gould’s musings.  As for the distinction between our “mindscape” and “physical material reality”, that my friend is certainly not woo.  You’ve simply writing it off before giving it any serious thought.

Stardusty Psyche,

Woo nonsense.  Gould was entirely wrong.  the essay you cite is little more than a travelogue narrative of some…

And just a interesting how many of those kingships collapsed because of Me First obsessions.

How about comparing you to Trump, Tim? The gorilla will never make it in America let alone become a billionaire. Can you make a million dollars in one lifetime?

Fuy yes, especially when Dad gives you 5 million dollars!

TOG, you know at times you make lots of sense – such as at December 26, 2019 at 10:16 pm.  Then you turn around in the next breath and say something outlandish like:

It’s too early to evaluate Trump’s job as CinC, though as of now he’s been pretty good.

The military establishment is generally not trustw…

Dark Matter hidden in black holes?  I though Dark Matter was originally conjectured because the shape of galaxies didn’t match the distribution expected based on the observed (gravity exerting) matter.  Correct?

My point is, wouldn’t that imply a diffuse something?

Whereas if BM were hiding in Black Holes, seems to me gravitational o…[Read more]

W4U March 26, 2018 at 1:36 am – As long as we can keep the “separation of powers”, I doubt that any grand conspiracy will take hold.

Separation of Powers, used to something we took for granted, wasn’t it.

It’s starting to look like another fiction that’s lost it’s hold over our collective imaginations.

Where do we go from here Moscow Mitch McC…[Read more]

What has trump declared Democrats aren’t American citizens anymore?

Where is that LIKE button?

The right is lost in an fantasy of unreality, gonna bite all of us in the end.

Thanks Tim, someone needs to keep up the good fight.

Sree, “even keel” is something we are not even close to.

It what makes you so lovable.

Tim, Tim, sorry to distract.  Get back to this thread.  Widdershins hits another home run:

Mathematics exists as it does because the universe works the way it does, not the other way around.

Bob touches on what I refer to as the Map v Territory Problem.

Which brings be back to NOMA and all that jazz  …   Lausten, I been patient, holding back, but you knew I’d have to bring this up sooner to later.  😉

I would like to propose some clarification to what Sree is struggling* with.
