Re: Criticism
You see your problem here is that "energy" is something you say you observe, it is a quality of experience you have observed, you see stuff, say it is distinct from yourself and call it "energy", an idealist simply reduces your postulate of undefined "energy" into the e...

Soundness of QM assumptions
I am an idiot in regard to quantum physics, I have two introductory books which I have never read. When I was younger I would read people like the much loved or much maligned Deepak Chopra and he would say some very strange things about stranger things that I barely understood, as I got older I woul...

Re: Criticism
I am convinced it should be relatively easy to nail someones metaphysics down whether they regard metaphysics as some flawed western thought program that got ahead of itself and contaminated our mental habits like Jeffery or whether they believe it is alive and well, a field dedicated to connecting ...

Re: The certainty of anihilation vs the certainy of eternity
but how does one truly know that they have seen it ? Psychedelics seem to disrupt the spatio temporal setting of standard consciousness, often combining an experience of vast space in sync with a mathematical geometric format that appears to the user to stretch their consciousness throughout space t...

The certainty of anihilation vs the certainy of eternity
"But deep down they KNOW it's all bullshit" said my friend in regard to reform criminals turned christian, he is not a very philosophically inclined man and essentially sticking to the local underground punk rock scene as his sole reference point to humanity at large surrounding himself wi...

Re: Criticism
So we have 'being' that can esthetically engross itself in tactile experiences which have more truth value than either scientific or analytical metaphysical speculations, and these tactile experiences teach us of the entangled nature of being or 'energy' which somehow despite being made of non exper...

Re: Criticism
"No, I have never noticed that awareness. Not under the influence of psychedelics. Not in meditation. Not in my experience as a musician in those mysterious moments when Being was playing through me. As far as I can tell, the claim of aware is an anthropomorphic projection onto a mysterious exp...

Re: EEG spikes in humans and rats at end of life and what this means for the supposed 'evidence' for idealism
So a 'technical device's own technicality accounts for every dynamic it detects experientially? If something is technical enough does it cross a threshold of technicality and then becomes a subject to qualities of experience? That means that my computer should be conscious due to the amount of techn...

Re: EEG spikes in humans and rats at end of life and what this means for the supposed 'evidence' for idealism
I am still hearing crickets from the alters, I am quite disappointed, I did a lot of research into this and because it may inconvenience some assumptions on part of idealists (if they want to take the proof game seriously) this post is left in the dust. In many interviews BK has talked about how sci...
