Re: The Psycho-Ontology of Genesis
Wrong link above, more excerpts below - https://www.academia.edu/21414895/A_Psycho_ontological_Analysis_of_Genesis_2_6 Science excludes Ethics from its Purview—but Ethics is not Necessarily Epiphenomenal A very pragmatically powerful and apparently internally consistent argument can be made that the...

Re: Schizophrenia, Sin and the Self (Owen Barfield)
How can you have a community if some members remain "fierce, untamable and wild"? Such people are not necessarily members of a community, but outsiders. There are outsiders for sure, only increasing in number these days, but no one wants to or should remain on the outside for very long. “...

Re: The hard problem of consciousness
My question concerns the hard problem of consciousness at its deepest level. According to Bernardo and the philosophy of mind, what is the hard problem of consciousness? I would say that it is why and how we do have subjective inner experience that we call consciousness. Why and how comes that it f...

Re: Nolan Movies - Especially Tenet
I have a very small lounge (you'd probably call it a closet from a US perspective), but I have a great AVR setup which goes some way towards a theatrical experience. It's definitely one of those films where you feel like you've seen a new experience. I think the problem I had is that I'd read a few...

Re: Schizophrenia, Sin and the Self (Owen Barfield)
A community of people nurtures and heals and thus captures a shaman disease for their benefit. On the other hand, not all bodies want to be or are able to be thus captured and tamed. The fierce, untamable and wild aspect is not necessarily in need of healing, but can easily be considered anti-socia...

Re: Consciousness and Civilization
Right, those types of initiatives are exactly what I had in mind. And if the scale were to tip in the other direction, as it very well may, then I don't see how the inherited traits of modern civilization could be determinative of fatal environmental catastrophe. In that situation, it would be the ...

Re: Nolan Movies - Especially Tenet
Yes you do need to just follow it along at some level. I feel like I need to watch it again some time, even though you see most of the relevant scenes twice ... It's a real shame it came out during lockdowns and theater closing. The theatrical experience of this movie was beyond words. Although I w...

Re: IAI - Consciousness and the world
The first debate could have been much better if IAI did not try to do it with 4 people. I would have rather seen a few one-hour discussions/debates between any two of them. That being said, BK's response to Annaka's "the self/Self is an illusion" argument was perfect - experiences entail e...

Re: Consciousness, Civilization and Citizenship
China Wants to Invest in the Arctic. Why Doesn’t Canada? I have to say I agree with Jorjani's assessment of the CCP (not to be confused with the Chinese people, who are also victims of the CCP). They have shown nothing but the most foolhardy, imperialist and inhumane tendencies. They represent exac...

Re: Schizophrenia, Sin and the Self (Owen Barfield)
That's very interesting. The old habits of mind must be broken down to make room for new habits of mind. Either that will happen happen unconsciously and uncontrollably (mental illness), in which case I am sure it helps tremendously to have some sort of surrounding community which empathizes (as opp...
