Philosophical Speculations

This study links to a study that tests psilocybin on human subjects https://www.jneurosci.org/content/33/38/15171.full using MEG, which isn't as easily contaminated by artifacts as EEG whilst essentially measuring the exact same thing, but in reverse (magnetism instead of electric), now here is the ...

True, but anyway, what exactly is so great about Heidegger anyway? Is he exactly philosopher supreme as JW espoused? Should I read him?

these are interesting models but the spherical one as amazing as it is as an image has a sort of emanationist style ontic extension/distancing which to me is well maybe not dualism but a sort of actualisation at a point of difference from origin point over time and through excessive extending from o...

I must also ask what is the actual relevance of all of those germans JW was going on about without getting into much depth upon? Did heidegger and kriekgard and husserl and the like (however their long names are spelt) really somehow make metaphysics utterly irrelevant? he kept stating this yet neve...

This feels like a coup, but in reverse, the leader of the country has just gotten up and left his nation to it. I definitely think that "criticism" should be a book, I do not think I have ever seen a thread that insanely passioned and exhaustive and dynamic and yet equally repetitive all a...

"value" as an ontology? What does THAT even mean? That implies measurement and exchange of some sorts to be the source of all things, I mean that could define universal machinations as forces trade charges or whatever, but that would be somethings activity not what something is. Oh and Eug...

But what I really want to understand is the "observer"? Is it an apparatus, a person or can it be both? From the materialists I get the impression that everything in the quantum world is so delicate that even the slightest disturbance kicks up the whole substrate like when you put your fee...

I find it hilarious that everything an idealist says about consciousness, you say about being, only being is temporary whilst the idealist is eternalist. Your idea of consciousness as some sort of amalgamation that you can step outside of into your world of 'being' and then observe separately from i...

WOOPS by subject I meant observer
