nd you get back a vague summary of your personality. — Paul

thats because MBTI is simply your genetic psyche type. its not summing up the whole person, and therefore dont disregard it because of that. duh

Its little more than pop psychology and modern day astrology. People are not stereotypes, and that's all MBTI tries to label you as. Be you, don't worry about the label. — Philosophim

people criticize and deny what they are too lazy and ignorant to study

The rest of your post is interesting — Agent Smith

christians think something can create something. but it cant. even if a god existed he would not be able to make a creation.

what did he make it from? and where did he make it? its like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. magical thinking

something cannot come from something

we currently already have something, and logically it must be eternal and omnipresent and infinite and therefore there is no real creation. only evolution and transformation

\

I missed the counter arguments you say you'd stated. I'll revisit this tomorrow or later tonight. I'm really curious to see those arguments you say exist. — god must be atheist

Why does evil exist? Well there is two kinds of evil: Evil done by humans happens because of free-will and there is justice in the afterlife. Evil done by nature happens because this is creation not heaven. Any physical creation is going to contain good and bad. Changing it will just create a new set of goods and bads.

And don't assume god does not feel every bit of pain we feel along with us. Life without pain does not work. Nobody would do anything.

nothing comes from nothing

and nothing comes from something

nothing and something both cannot create something

but something can change into a new shape and make you believe its a new something when its not

No it has not. Just because you say so it does not make it true. Maybe you believe that, and kudos to you, I'm happy for you. But in logical grounds it has not been defeated, but, in fact, supported.
Stop saying it has been defeated when it has not. — god must be atheist

yes it has been defeated, as the reasons i stated.

and you offer no counter argument to those reasons

therefore you are ignorant of the fact that it is defeated

And you're the last word on all such matters. — Agent Smith

no logic is

one plus one will never equal five. it doesnt matter how much time goes by or how much science we do

we already have certain absolute truths that will never be changed

Good one! Plus, a first cause wouldn't know anything, given that it has no input. — PoeticUniverse

exactly. that would be another magical belief

the magical invisible soul with its magical spiritual intelligence magically creating first casues into the mind with its magical free will

just not (scientifically) understood as of yet — Agent Smith

there is no level of understanding we will ever reach which will allow something to come from nothing.

The fact that it's determined doesn't take away its freedom — Goldyluck

yes any freedom we have is part of, and bound within, determinism.

there is no true free will

our free will simply means that nobody has a gun to our head. we are still completely bound by causality

A possibility, yes! — Agent Smith

is magic a possibility?

or is it just magical thinking

something cant come from nothing. no matter if its spiritual or not. and therefore even a magical soul would not be able to create first causes, and therefore it would have no true free will

because despite everyone being too ignorant to realize it, true free will would be the ability to create first causes from nothing into the mind.

from that ego delusion comes the god delusion. the ego creates god

If not determinism, then what? — Agent Smith

magic

a magical invisible soul that can magically create first causes out of its magical invisible spiritual intelligence

what is beyond the universe? a multiverse? what is beyond that? the omniverse? what is beyond that?

keep going

Every given moment there are countless of perception stimuli flooding our brain - but we pick the ones that appear beneficial to us as the center of our focus, allowing those impressions to form our train of thought. — Hermeticus

dont confuse brain, consciousness, sense data, and mind

4 different things

We underestimate our own ability to learn and how much learning can improve our life.

Life doesn't need to be perfect, we only need enough pleasure to keep going.

positive ideas that are very true will be accepted. fake positivity will be rejected

AI without a body...sounds like an algorithm...but really not impossible. — Don Wade

Kinda like those perpetual motion machines on youtube. haha

language and knowledge is an illusion. its just association in the mind for utilitarian purpose. which is why its impossible to create an artificial intelligence without a body.

how our mind creates the images of objects in our brains — Don Wade

a big enough intelligence could read/understand/know your entire post in one second. just by pattern matching the shape of it to its corresponding understanding in the mind. the shape of it would be equivalent to one word for us.

----------------------

mind, brain, and consciousness are 3 very different things:

the mind is just an echo, and a remixing (imagination), of sense data after experiencing it.

sense data is in consciousness not the mind or brain

the brain is consciousness inner sense data fabrication of the thing beyond it creating it, whose image is then echoed in the mind when you think of a brain

cut open the top of your skull and open your brain to the visual center. then pull your eyes up and over and point them down at the electrical impulses in your visual cortex. look at those electrical impulses. that is consciousness's inner sense data fabrication of itself.

your next epiphany should be to realize the real you is beyond anything you can see. now you can throw your science books out and go meditate and transcend the body.

If you had only three questions to ask what would you ask and why? — I like sushi

1- how do we unite ourselves to increase cooperation?

2- what direction should be head in the future?

3- do you believe in god?

We always try to gauge what we deserve and what others deserve — TiredThinker

you deserve the freedom to be human, which includes fair trade of work and goods

You don't exist, only reality exists. and its eternal

Reality cannot create separate selves, it's an illusion.

Space and infinity are some of my favorite ideas, and they seem to naturally go together when we consider the universe. If there were a limit to the universe we could go to the edge and point, asking "how far is that way?" It seems most natural to me to think of space as infinite. And actually it seems to be infinite in opposite infinite ways. There is no end to how small something can shrink. And if I hop towards a limit, there are always infinite sub-steps. So infinity as space seems to be the ground of everything and "what is finite itself" adds form to the chaos. In the end, the world will always seem paradoxical because it has a paradoxically at it's root. What I'd like to know is whether space existing in all possible place is just the mirror image of space being infinitely divisible — Gregory

sounds like your talking about god

eliminate psychological bias from their thinking. — clemogo

The whole scientific method was designed to get around bias. It is the best we have i guess.

we cannot detect limits to our thoughts. — clemogo

Complete self recursion is impossible, this is what causes the hard problem of consciousness, the illusion of free will, and the ego

Hume said there is no proof of causation. Only one thing following another, or one thing appearing after another. No proof that the first thing actually caused the second.

Things appear in consciousness and often one thing appears after another. where do they come from? Do they come from some permanent physical reality that continues to exist without consciousness? Or do they come from something beyond consciousness that has never been seen? or are they just qualia spontaneously generated by consciousness. Or some mix of those options.

Not true. The US has a lot of business regulation. — Caldwell

i didnt say any regulation, i said too much regulation

too many rules of any kind stifles freedom, which weakens a nation

any country that burdens its free market with too much regulation will get surpassed by another country that doesnt

emotions are a reaction to certain interpretations in the subconscious mind

thoughts are conscious and above that. slower,

it is

consciousness problem is superior. because it gets rid of old mystical fuzzy words like god and soul

the only thing that exists is one eternal reality. there is no people. there is no you

god soul spirit is just the old word for consciousness

we call it hard problem of consciousenss now

The feeling of a free will determines if the will is free or not. — Cartuna

sure but that is still part of cause and effect determinism

if I knew these causes — Cartuna

Complete self recursion is impossible, this is what causes the illusion of free will, and the ego.

feel that your wil is free than it's free.. — Cartuna

ya feelings decide truth haha

"This feeling arises from moment-to-moment ignorance of the prior causes of our thoughts and actions." -sam harris

Nature doesn't follow an explicit program, and neither does the brain. — Cartuna

Either way you have no free will.

don't feel programmed — Cartuna

your feelings are irrelevant. free will is an illusion caused by ignorance

Complete self recursion is impossible, this is what causes the hard problem of consciousness, the illusion of free will, and the ego.

But it's not programmed. — Cartuna

brain is programed by genetics and then environment. there is nothing else.

and the environment programming cannot exceed the genetic limitations.

But not in the digital computer sense. — Cartuna

Brain has no more free will than a tv

Because it isn't explainable. — Cartuna

activity in the brain is the conscious representation of what is creating consciousness outside of consciousness
