Philosophical Speculations

Just to be clear, if I ever express frustration on here, like I am sure there has been in some of my recent comments, it's not because someone is disagreeing with me... it's because they don't seem to be taking the time to even understand the position I am supporting. I’m absolutely fine with you g...

We too vocalize the feelings and thoughts and meanings of the dog member of our family in human language. Often just to tease and jest. I can imagine your cat talking through your mouth: "You should propably keep that to yourself..." :) Ventriloquism is mere child's play to the cats. The ...

I don't mean only interpersonal layer, but also the loneliness where a feeling feels unfelt in and by the Spirit. Or god, as might prefer to say. Hamartia-error as such deep loneliness by imagining and creating such separation. Metacognition I observe and speak as linguistic narration. Language is ...

I don't get what the desire is to always categorize these things with labels, other than to write them off without considering them in more detail. Steiner's phenomenological philosophy would be closest to Hegel, but his "spiritual science" is something completely new and only became poss...

You know (or should know) that is not true because I reference Steiner so often, who founded "spiritual science" of Anthroposophy. But surely Steiner falls exactly into one of these branches, it's essentially pantheism just as Spinoza, most of the German idealists, Jung etc... Clearly I t...

Thanks. Part of my point is that if you don’t require metaC to observe, then the phenomC of M@L is always observing everything everywhere, so everything is “already” “always” collapsed. It’s tough to see how the recent (and not just earth based) evolution of metaC could post date this quantum behav...

In addition to what Cleric responded, I will add - all meaning, not only the "deeper" meaning, is in the ideal content (which all perspectives share). How could it be any other way?? When something appears meaningful to you, whether it's a feeling within you or an image from without, it i...

Is not M@L phenomenally consciousness and (the only) fundamental? If so, then time and space are not fundamental, let alone matter. Would M@L then not be a ubiquitous observer, collapsing all quantum indeterminacies? If not, then what is the difference in experience exciting a meta consciousness th...

The question is how do we know that we're "just us recreating from discovered meaning" . This is the Kantian divide at its purest. We use intellectual thinking to postulate something that is completely inaccessible to Thinking. So how do we know that this beyond thing exists? We can't kno...

BK's conclusion is correct here, but the major difference between us is how he presumes to reach it. I know nothing of Rovelli's metaphysics so I will leave him out of it. BK adheres to Schopenhauer's philosophy of universal Will, which presumes that in the individual's "direct" experienc...
