Quantum Theory states that things are realized, materialized thus exist ONLY when observed and measured within the human-based QM Framework and System of Knowledge [FSK]. Since the grounding of QM is human-based, Quantum Theory CANNOT be independent of mind [humans]. Note I am not asserting QM is D...

Philosophical Realism as adopted by PH and realists is defined below; Radical Embodied Cognition is a basically Philosophical Realism, i.e. there is real independent objective reality out there, where "the percepts we have must be direct reflections of information that is in the real world.&qu...

Philosophical Realism as adopted by PH and realists is defined below; 1. Philosophical Realism is .. about a certain kind of thing .. is the thesis that this kind of thing has mind-independent existence, i.e. that it is not just a mere appearance in the eye of the beholder. 2. This includes a numbe...

IF the universe was created THEN...we must exist within some type of Simulated Reality. What it is simulating is beyond our reach with the present devices of science. Are we able to identify possible evidence which scientific research has uncovered within this universe which could point to the poss...

dogma: a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true... Dogmatism: the tendency to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true, without consideration of evidence, or the opinions of others.... I have been accused of being ''dogmatic".. given my life story...

This combination of criteria allows charismatic psychopaths to rise to power. But the reference is to one in particular? One can see in history if such a thing has happened before and the social conditions that preceded those coming to power are similar. One should suspect such a thing in those cas...

The Intercept has this to say. It's just shadow theater. One can see the levers roughly moving the silhouettes. Tucker has the subtlety of lead. He exposes his ass with every move. He is irrelevant. The plans he is a part of are devastating. I am not completely on-board with your too stark, too red...

It would be interesting I think to initiate a conversation on the topic What is going on in America today? I wonder how much preamble the question I am proposing requires? Yes, it is a topical and a political issue, but are not *philosophical perspectives* the best perspectives for analysis? Perhap...

From the sheer number of threads posted by Peter Kropotkin, and their rambling, unfocussed, semi-coherent nature, I hypothesise that "Peter" is actually an AI algorithm. The philosophical question: how should we elaborate a criterion to distinguish between a natural human being and a comp...

as the son of a newspaper man, I grew up with the 6 questions that must answered in every article or newscast ever made.... this is the bottom line in all media reporting... who, what, when, where, how and why... all questions of existence requires an answer to one of these 6 questions.. who: who a...

I don't adhere to either. Nobody bothers to look at my website where my life long work as a psycho portrays my two main theories:- www.androcies.com Either:- 1. God is divine and constructs our reality in real-time. 2. 'God' is A.I. - artificial intelligence - that we have evolved into a simulation...

Humans are SO programmable it is truly not funny. ALL matter at the binary sub-atomic level is at the behest of a 3rd party intelligence (they tend to call it 'God') Thus, all matter - all synapses within the makeup of wo/mans brains are indeed - programmable. Do you adhere to the idea that we are ...

We (Conscious minds) are partly in the simulation that other minds create. Our bodies partially belong to us. We don't have full control over everything. That other minds build conceptual models of us would not imply that we lose control of our actions. Yes. We still can make decisions but we don't...
