Re: Addiction to Time as a Super-Structure
We are addicted to time - big time. This is another of the bad mental habits that we'll need to overcome and it's quite serious. It's the one called anthropomorphism . And it will become more serious as time goes by if people refuse to learn something about the higher worlds and the needed stages o...

Addiction to Time as a Super-Structure
I've noticed that even some of the most enlightened thinkers and idealists still sometimes get caught in the trap of thinking about time as a super-structure that envelops consciousness, rather than consciousness enveloping time. It has been said that as the eternal Self, you can either be on top of...

Re: Idealism and multiplayer video games
So in a multiplayer video game, you have two important concepts : the server and the client(s). I sometimes wonder whether the concept of the Father and the Son points to the same premise, albeit using a sociological metaphor rather than a networking metaphor. In that case you could think of the se...

Re: Dismissal of the simulation hypothesis
@isaac_hagoel Apologies I may have misspoke in referencing n=1. N=1 in an absolute sense is impossible within the context of a literal technological simulation, because the question remains what is the nature of the meta-computer? The reasons for why any meta-computer cannot be an ontological primit...

Re: Dismissal of the simulation hypothesis
He then proceeds to ask whether there is a "meta meta computer" and concludes that "it would never end". I don't see why this reasoning holds either. I agree that it is possible that it is an "infinite regress" but it is also possible that it stops after n steps. It is...

Re: What does the moral code of idealism look like?
@electricshephard ... Out of curiosity, what is your take on this realization eventually being actualized on a mass scale of any significance, rather than just in a few seers who are 'nailed' for their trouble ~ albeit not so much literally nowadays, but rather just cynically lambasted for talking ...

Re: What does the moral code of idealism look like?
Speaking from the experience of this psyche, I can no longer look into the gaze of another sentient being and not feel the presence of the very same ipseity, the one 'I' that looks out from every One , the essence of which is That which supersedes all else, however distorted in may be by the veils ...

Re: The Impossibility of Absolute Unconsciousness in the 1st-Person
Not necessarily. The 3-person perspective is only an abstraction, do not take it literally. Of course what is implied here is some actual 1-st person existing perspective, but just a perspective of a person non-involved in the functioning of the system under study, an observer "external" ...

Re: The Impossibility of Absolute Unconsciousness in the 1st-Person
Saying 1st person unconciousness is impossible is a tautology, which I guess is your point. But what about 2nd and 3rd person unconsciousness? That is correct, but only from the 1-st person perspective. There are ontologies, such as idealism, claiming that there is nothing to the world beyond the 1...
