    Some Philosophical Arguments

    Ironically enough , in 1 of his videos , Carrol admitted the fact that it has been an embarrassment to physicists that the interpretation of QM that's supposed to be all about "the nature of reality " is still unresolved up to date and counting...all this time ,from the time of the very...

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    See above. No scientific knowledge , theories , models...can be proved to be "true" , ever , as Popper used to say. Science is not about the "truth" either, whatever the latter might be indeed. Even the highly successful ever quantum theory can turn out to be approximately correct and...

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    @Bertha Huse : We all accuse materialists for being so biased as to equate science with materialism , and rightly so, and we all reject the materialist attempts to "validate " materialism 'scientifically " , but we do the same , ironically and paradoxically enough, in the sense that we try...

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    Who said anything about any religion then ? I just reserve the right to agree to disagree . You're just projecting , maybe .I don't know. To rely on QM or on the temporary scientific results to "prove" one's preferred world view is like building sand castles,since what seems to be...

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    Really ? Fact is : physicists have been using the highly successful ever quantum theory without understanding it ,or as Feynman used to say : " I can safely say that no one understands quantum mechanics" and that "the double slit experiment is the only mystery in QM...", which means that the...

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    QM might turn out to be approximately correct and fundamentally false too, in its turn,who knows? It's highly likely in fact ,since all scientific knowledge , theories, models ...remain hypothetical , according to Popper , and can thus never be proved to be "true ",ever. Don't count thus on QM...

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    "Physicists can't even explain physics , let alone consciousness." Wigner. "We might be needing even better physics than QM to account for consciousness..." He sort of added.

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    That was a metaphor, and all materialist and so-called physicalist physicists and other scientists do that , not to mention the materialist philosophers such as Dennett ....in the sense that they have been trying to rescue materialism and its intrinsic determinism , that were built upon the...

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    It is , in the sense that the so-called physicalism tries to "reshape " QM and the interpretation of the latter to its own materialist classical mechanical deterministic image / advantage , in the same fashion the so-called hidden variables theories did/do (Remember the failed attempts of the...

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    Ego can only lead to narcissism indeed. One has to try to let go or transcend the false and illusory ego to experience higher levels of consciousness that correspond to higher levels of reality, or one has to try to invent a higher form of science through higher levels of consciousness. I am not...

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    Very predictable indeed. So-called physicalists or other materialists want to believe in determinism so badly that what they "hold in mind tends to manifest itself on the reality ground " through their predictable or determined behavior and thought. Materialism is just ego that feeds on the...

    @ Phil Argument , Bertha Huse : I hate to tell you : " I told you so ." lol See above what our Paul had to say.Cheers.

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    Paul like most so-called physicalists or materialists do not even realize the intrinsic inconsistencies , incoherence and paradoxes, not to mention the intrinsic cognitive dissonance of their own world views, or they would just choose to selectively ignore them altogether : some sort of...

    To deny God is to imply and to need to shoulder the burden of showing God impossible.

    Take a closer look at your above displayed quote then, here below : What do you see ? ... endless series of contingent "beings " ... endless series of "causes ' ...without a necessary being ...while all "beings " cannot but derive their "existence or beingness" from the endless series of...

    To deny God is to imply and to need to shoulder the burden of showing God impossible.

    Paradoxical non-sense , sorry, not to mention that causality is a myth ,an illusion....as Hume used to say... The only really logical answer to the question regarding the origin of the universe cannot but be ...God.To know that , you have to try to know the real Self , by letting go of your...

    Some Philosophical Arguments

    Physicalism is another form of materialism , a bit like some classical liberals who call themselves neo-liberals these days . lol Whatever name you use , it's all the same thus , deep down : materialism.Cheers.

    Excerpts from Love is a Stranger Poetry of Mevlâna Jalâluddîn Rumi Translated by Kabir Helminski The Root of the Root of Your Self : Don’t go away, come near. Don’t be faithless, be faithful. Find the antidote in the venom. Come to the root of the root of yourself. Molded of clay, yet...
