Re: Tom Campbell and his view of virtual reality and information
But aren't Eugene and Santeri saying that manifested reality is analogue, not digital?

Re: No Objective Space or Time = No Free Will or Events
Is "mental space" something else than thoughts and dreams, a different category? So, how do thoughts and dreams exist? That my dim thoughts are not merged with your bright thoughts (superposed) means there is a separation, which I called mental space. Focus by Will is, I suppose, what sel...

Re: No Objective Space or Time = No Free Will or Events
Ah, but mental space for thoughts and dreams must exist. Why? Because we experience thoughts and dreams.

Re: Tom Campbell and his view of virtual reality and information
TC's digital physics view is that Consciousness began (for him Time is real!) as dim random digital bits (on or off) and brightened itself by choosing the interesting patterns - which give rise to what we call information. It's as though he is conflating experience and experiencer like Annaka Harris...

Re: Knowledge gained via NDE's and other trips.
No, I understood you perfectly, Maarten. I am reminded of a situation in The Unbearable Lightness of Being . The problem becomes apparent only from experience. An open, honest or naive person can be easily manipulated. You may recall in that book how the character Tomas was removed from his post of ...

Re: Phenomenal self vs. rational subjectivity -BK & alii
Regarding the video, I really enjoyed it. Reza Negarestani's idea of engineering an entirely new conceptual vocabulary because, he says, the old vocabulary has failed was just horrendous (ever more words and concepts). After Negarestani tried to put down BK, BK's rejoinder was simple and brilliant -...
