Philosophical Speculations

Also, regarding different coordinate systems, you can also read my paper "The "Who Am I?" Question", which basically captures the same Truth, but from a different perspective. It will be interesting if you can also bring some other coordinate systems.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Regarding just experiencing life, I also mentioned it in the paper, like the example if you want to know how it is to ride a roller-coaster you just have to ride it, you cannot find it by theorizing. Also, if you want to make some empirical science, that will also ...

I don’t know if you have been drawing inspiration from other sources but the principle of self-reference have been known and explored in the mystery centers through the ages. The way I got to the idea of self-reference was by thinking at cases such as the duck-rabbit: there is a shape on the paper a ...

I invite you to discover my new paper, "How Self-Reference Builds the World", in which I explain how the entire world is created by self-reference looking-back-at-itself, world which of course is consciousness:

Let's say that we have this particular type of precognition: let's say that at 9 o'clock we have a precognition of what will happen at 10 o'clock. And we see the events unfolding starting from 10 and going all the way up to 11 and beyond. When the precognition gets to the 11 hour, in the present ...

Cosmin, Consider this analogy. I know that my own localized organism is 'made of' the same physical forces as those of the solar system. The gravitational, electromagnetic, strong/weak nuclear forces are the same in my localized organism as they are for the planet Jupiter. Yet I know that I simply ...

I'm answering you here from the reincarnation topic, so we don't be off-topic there. In relation to our discussion on the other thread, would you agree that the examples you use above are referring to ideas which unite the particular letters and notes into a 'holistic entity'? That's exactly what I ...

I think that if we are to experience the consciousness of other people we would experience the greatest shock in our life for how different their world is compared to ours. Think only about the duck-rabbit image. Let's say that a person only saw ducks previous to seeing this image, and another ...

Before reading the full topic, I will just answer the initial post. I think it has to do with what memory actually is. For example, when we read a word, we read it letter by letter, yet at the end it the experience changes and instead of remembering reading it letter by letter we remember reading it ...

For ex., the perceptual structure that we discern in the rhythm, melody, harmony of music. I would say that reflects to us a higher order logical structure which precipitates into richly meaningful musical beats, notes, and chords, which we can all appreciate due to the shared meaning. I wouldn't ...
