Does every thing/object/entity have an effect on something else?
Another way to ask this question is:
Is every thing/object/entity perceived? and when I say perceived, I mean sensed by any thing/object/entity that is not it, not necessarily a living thing. — Daniel
I'm realizing I am confused about what I really wanna ask; it's hard to put into words. — Daniel
Is it possible that all the things that the universe throws at our minds/brains are causal dead ends - producing no effects on our brains/minds? — TheMadFool
cause is not enough — Daniel
lack movement is not a lack of effect, but a lack of visible effec — Daniel
that does need to be elucidated since such an account is not ubiquitous. — Pfhorrest
I don't think it is the actual act of being experienced per se that constitutes something's existence, but rather the potential to be experienced. — Pfhorrest
I would instead say not that to be is to be perceived, or that to be is to be experienced, but that to be is to be experienceable. — Pfhorrest
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
