Philosophical Speculations

What you are referring as "consistent" is neither "world" or even sensing, just how linguistic etc. conditioning of your beliefs and expectations is guiding your attention and metacognitive narration. As for 'consistent', I don't know what you mean and are trying to say by that ...

For all of those people, the supersensible world was a realm of living archetypal beings. And they were directly responsible for all phenomenonal appearances in Nature. I would say that instead, they claimed that all things originated from, and had their being in, the good, the one, god. So their b...

To answer your question about the double-slit experiment, what I mean is this: entanglement means a correlation between measurement probabilities. If we say "particles A and B are entangled", what we mean is that the probabilities of measuring A in certain states are correlated with the p...

Simon, it almost seems to me as if you are now questioning the very tenets of philosophical idealism. Is that the case? Because, under idealism , there cannot ever exist non-ideal events, or "non-living" entities that just behaved mechanically before life emerged. So why is the world so c...

Simon, There is no evidence for " things happening eons of time before we were around ". Think about what we mean by the word " evidence " under idealism. There is no good definition of "evidence" that is not tied to human experience (perception-thought, will, feelings...

Excellent question, Simon! And thanks for reading my essay! :) To begin with, my version of idealism is very different from Bernardo's analytical idealism. Bernardo's view bypasses all Western science (I'm not an expert in analytical idealism, please those of you who are correct me if I'm wrong), b...

What other type of consciousness would apply when we are talking about physics (emphasis on "physics")? Any physicist who thinks there is a mind at large isn't basing that belief on physics but on metaphysics or maybe religious belief. There is no scientific evidence of a mind at large. O...

Under idealism, the problem is not how do transpersonal, trans-spatiotemporal, endogenous mental events of M@L become actual objects colliding in space (which never happens), but rather how do such events come to be rendered as the appearance of objects colliding in space, from the perspective of a...

"The material properties play a critical role in determining the outcome of the collision." Bernardo is siding with the interpretations that say the physical properties are generated by perception, but that doesn't in anyway suggest that the intricacy of a given facet of mind-at-large wou...

I am not arguing for any sort young Earth creationist view and I really don't know where that impression came from. I’m not in any way suggesting that you have a young earth creationist view. My point was purely that to suggestion that the development of stars and galaxies was in any way different ...
