The Philosophy Discussion Forum

yeah could it be the mind /consciousness duality of the observer that collapses the wave function.as in consciousness presents the event and does not investigate its self or its presented event.the mind then seperate from the pure consciousness investigates its creators creation causing the collaps...

Yeah Jackels. What's up with the choppy lingo . Its,like youre texting on a 12-key pad flip phone. Lol But if you are, hey, no judgement. We got what we got. But anyways. This is an interesting idea. I just went on Wiki for a primer on Wave collapse. :D I think a got a rough idea. I like the probabl...

Sounds quite non philosophical. So, what does it mean that consciousness behaves in this way?

I like the first idea: that consciousness does not see its operation in having an object. And I think there is a duality indicated by this situation, but I'm not so sure about the rest of it.

I would offer my tentative analysis : the 'darkness' was 'history less' in that it was a period in Europe when a particular kind of ideology took hold and was needed of working out. The 'history' was seen to have already played Inthe culmination that was Rome. Such 'reality' (Rome) was the effect of...

0]The difference between you and Lance is that he actually understands philosophy, while you're just a working stiff interested in it. Which is OK, and specifically you'd be OK, if you didn't try and demean as a way to qualify your lack of understanding of ones attempt to do good philosophy. Lance, ...

HH. Your statement reveals your very capitalistic ideological One reality that everyone is supposed to fall in line with. It completely denies educated thought of at least the past 40 years. It shows a relapse into Modernistic belief that cannot cope with the evidence of humanity. Again, if you even...

Sob: yes, I figured you'd reply at some point, cuz you offered.
I was more asking of others .

And yes. The smallness of many on this forum is ridiculous. I too got tired of it.
I need feedback so I figured id see if anyone was into it.

Anything you can offer is well appreciated.

So, I guess that was a little too much?

I would think for those who see my essay as blabber that the more constructive approach to not understanding what I may be saying is to ask what it is I am saying. So perhaps I can try to say what I mean by 'faith'. To begin, I turn the conventional and usual idea of faith on its head, and propose t...

Veggie: lol. Yes, well I figured I'd get into that when SOB replies. Thank you, I think .
But like I said, I am realizing perhaps I should have put the link to the beginning of the essay. 'The Romance..." Which sets it up .

Any opinions? http://lancek4.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/the-significant-event-part-2/ Hey Lance, good to see you again! You were a good friend, giving much time and energy, thanks! ;-) I read your bit, at least for a while, but see as usual, that it seems to be obvious, that you are not trying to app...

So, we got... Constructive Engagers Honest Seekers Philosophical Talkers Confused Puppets One Reverent God of the Philosophical One Unmitigated and Indifferent Jackass (me) Who (what) else? Ah kaay; I think we're getting some where. Thirds it is. We got the first two, which I think can be justifiab...

Gods of philosophy are of course excluded from the statistics. And, perhaps I was being polite. But I do remember one person a while ago who was in here for a bit, who was very crass and insulting at idiocy, , but I found that eventually, even when I would call him an idiot or point out his idiocy t...

Of course, I have spent many hours on PN, and I know there is always a portion who are not into learning. In fact, my experience here at PN helped to develop my essays. -- It seems Ginko, though he may not be interested, is the only one who at least shows respect and consideration. Of the four so f...
