Philosophical Speculations

Ashvin, I spent a couple of decades as an evangelical Christian before moving on, but it still evokes a reaction in me when traditional Christian motifs are re-framed. For example the "Christ-impulse". As you no doubt know, Christ is derivative of the Hebrew messiah whose referent is Jesus...

To be honest, despite reading pretty much everything you and Cleric have written in recent months, I don't really get what it means to "ascend by thinking into more fluid meaning (active)". I get that there may be a depth of structure to our observations and there may be higher modes of t...

I've been eagerly waiting for the conclusion to your thoughts here. Are you able to provide the "great reveal"?

That basic point it is being used to convey is that we all exist within a shared Macrocosmic living organism of ideations - I mean "organism" in a very literal sense, just as your limbs, organs, etc. and inner experiences belong to your living microcosmic organism. There is certainly a co...

Well much earlier this year I thought I had secured an interview between J Pageau and BK when they both replied to my tweet suggesting it, saying they were "up for it", but nothing happened since then, and I tweeted a reminder at both of them a few times. Clearly BK would do it, but it se...

It's time for another A/SS 101 question! BK argues the case for idealism on 3 broad fronts: parsimony, QM, and neuroscience. If one had to provide a short argument for idealism under A/SS, what would constitute the key elements of that case? Anthony, One must remember A/SS always goes at least one,...

I hope this puts things in the proper perspective. Things are really complicated. We can't simply place them on a linear scale. As we see, we can reach the highest Intuition yet experience it only in its mineral aspect. So if I have understood your comment properly, this should give the answer why ...
