Philosophical Speculations

If it would be useful, I would be happy to develop a list of nano technology properties, such as self-replication, and how that relates to microbiology, on another thread.

Let me offer this clarification. When I use the term technology I am referring to some consciousness developing a do-whopper machine to performs a desired task. For example, I don’t see any evidence that life is not biotechnology. That may or may not be so. Humans may or may not be Androids. But it ...

More generally, I am interested in the concept that reality is being produced using technology. Let me provide several examples. 1. Nanotechnology was developed using insights from microbiology. At the micro level (below the cellular level) the activity of biology seems to be based on machines. (Ref...

The Analytic Idealism course makes several references to Evolution. I accept Evolution as fact, but the mechanism is unclear to me. It seems far more likely that consciousness drives Evolution, rather than natural selection. Consider this lengthy quote. Another fundamental problem contradicts the th...

Thanks for the feedback.

I have spent parts of several days search for the various papers referenced in Analytic Idealism Course. Can you give me a URL or location?

Since I am skating on thin ice, I may as well add this. The movie the Wizard of Oz is much like the story of the Prodigal Son. Dorothy enters a trance state and has all her incredible adventures in Oz, and finally wakes up in her true home. I wonder if the alter-consciousness is actually the meta-tr...

I apologize now if this post is out of bounds. I carefully read the posting rules, and I suspect this post is close to out of bounds. Since this is my second post, my experience in meeting group expectations is very limited. Having just watched the course, I have some initial thoughts about Dissocia...

I also wonder if the brain is a holographic computer?

I'm interested in better understanding the dashboard.

It seems to me, based on personal experience, that reality is presented holographically. Assuming that, it seems possible that the brain is a holographic transceiver.
