  • Aquinas says light is not material
    Light is electric and magnetic, presenting itself as particles while being a wave through the reality of spacetimeGregory

    We have no evidence of any of that. Only of patterns of colors and sounds:

    According to bundle theory, an object consists of its properties and nothing more; thus, there cannot be an object without properties and one cannot conceive of such an object. For example, when we think of an apple, we think of its properties: redness, roundness, being a type of fruit, etc. There is nothing above and beyond these properties; the apple is nothing more than the collection of its properties. In particular, there is no substance in which the properties are inherent.

    Consciousness is intrinsically self reflective. The mind uses consciousness like a mirror to see itself. Which then allows it to alter itself. Otherwise we would all be eternally insane.
  • Moods are neurotransmitter levels working in the brain.


    Serotonin is an upper and dopamine is a downer. Both feel good.

    Low serotonin and high dopamine is the most relaxing state.

    High serotonin and low dopamine is the most agitated state.
  • The best argument for having children


    Teach your kid to see his own mind as the cause of everything good or bad in his life.
  • Objective Morality: Testing for the existence of objective morality.
    We are allowed to do some immoral things; which how people screw up in the moment.Cheshire

    Everything the mind can think about is relative to point of view.

    The mind is bound by point of view and will never escape it.

    It's and omnipresent and eternal limitation.
  • Direct Color Realism via Productance Physicalism
    The article linked below defends a view of colors being representative of real physical properties in the world. Most of the article focuses on types of reflectance. Section 3.1.2 broadens the scope to include dispositions to emit, transmit or reflect a proportion of light. So the colors we see represent surfaces emitting, transmitting or reflecting light. This includes filters.Marchesk

    There is no evidence of light, only of changing colors.
  • Objective Morality: Testing for the existence of objective morality.
    it's just permissible to harm your own things.Cheshire

    then its not immoral

    if your alone on an island everything is a-moral

    because there is no morality outside of the human minds interpretation of human behavior

    reality is meaningless
  • Is the hard problem restricted to materialism?


    the real hard problem is the hard problem of matter. how can the mind justify the existence of matter when it only has evidence of consciousness
  • What is mysticism?


    the farthest edges of your mind is "mysticism" and the farthest edges of your senses is "spiritual"
  • Aquinas says light is not material
    we have no evidence of light, but only of colors
  • Objective Morality: Testing for the existence of objective morality.
    things are right or wrong apart from who does them.Cheshire

    its nothing but fairness between people

    everything is subjective relative and objective simultaneously
  • A new theory of proof?
    competition with a materialist, myself being an idealist.Yohan

    Matter and mind are both made of consciousness.
  • Is Most of life random chaos?


    randomness is just a pattern to big to see

    the more chaos you see is the more ignorant you are
  • Brains in vats...again.


    the brain is just an a pattern of color in the mind

    look and see

    but dont look with your eyes. look with consciousness
  • What is Information?
    information doesnt exist in reality, or in the mind. its just a word that stands for nothing lol

    there is reality, which is a pattern and the mind makes a map of that pattern, which is a reduced version of the pattern used to avoid pain and attain pleasure.

    it uses association to connect things.

    language is nothing but association.

    math is nothing but a map of the territory.
