Philosophical Speculations

False. We deny the dualism of "Experiencing" vs. Thinking in the first place. All Thinking is not other than experiencing, so there is no emergence of one from the other. The latter is generally another word for "perceiving", and Cleric already tried to explain to you the polar ...

Something interesting about any of the QM arguments is that QM is a theory of physics that involves measurement. Measurement is at the core of it. So it is probably useful for explaining the quantities of the world but not the qualities. If the measurements are real, then there is something outside...

However, it is a metaphysics, it is based on several metaphysical assumptions. One such assumption is that thinking can take you closer to the thing in itself than perceiving via the senses: for instance, that thinking about a beech tree can take you closer to it than the experience of a squirrel w...

Then please go ahead and point out these "several metaphysical assumptions" we are employing. You won't, Eugene, because you can't, because they don't exist... the Kantian dualism, on the other hand, does exist. Sometimes one must put ego aside and seriously consider the possibility they ...

I would if you showed any signs of understanding it - it is literally the basis of all your misunderstandings and failures to follow the logic of our comments here over many months. All of your responses to us display this lack of awareness of how the divide is working in your thinking, including t...

There is no need for metaphysical inferences. The reason you think the above exercise, which ends in "pick your favorite", i.e. pure personal preference, is necessary is because you don't have trust in living Reason to make the necessary connections which shed light on Being beyond our ow...

This is the problem I keep trying to point to - you have gone from "I have no memories of dreamless sleep" to " it is in principle not possible experimentally prove from the 1-st person experiential perspective that such state ever exists ". You, BK, and JW are all making the ex...

Unaware Being is a mere abstract metaphysical idea, it can never be (1-st person-perspective) experienced and therefore can never be experientially proven to exist.

Are you aware of what occurs during your deep dreamless sleep? - I had an experience of lucid dreamless sleep where there was absolutely nothing and no conscious activity whatsoever, yet it was experienced (="awared") and registered in the memory. - There may be two reasons why we have no...

If consciousness bathes the universe, why hasn’t the entire universe collapsed into Eigenstate? Are you talking about a hypothesis that consciousness causes the WF to collapse into eigenstate? It was experimentally proven to be wrong. In QM experiments (e.g. the double-slit experiment) the measurem...
