  • How do we perceive time?
    Time (age, past, present, future) does not exist.
    Time is an imaginary (PSYCHE = inside-brain effect = undetectable) -
    elicited, made up, fabricated,
    FROM/ABOUT things changing.

    These things can be PHYSIS = non manmade fraactions of the universe
    or manmade things called clocks.
    Manmade things are LOGOI = the expression- = assertion of the evolved-primate PSYCHE.
    any precise measurement of time is just a proclamation of time,
    and not in the least a detection let alone an observation of time.

    The essential answer is:
    Time is per se = as such, it-self, on its own, in its own right, in its very essence
    undetectable = cannot be investigated in the slightest.

    Many people have a hard time at understanding
    that, while time does not exist
    the proclamation (LOGOI) !!!OF!!! time are extremely useful = TRUE.

    This assertion is applicable to each and every element of physche,
    for an example to other parameters in the language of physics, to laws, and to gods
  • What happens to consciousness when we die?
    The question "what happens to some-thing" is - on THIS very occasion - pointless bcz the consciousness is not some-thing. It is rather no-thing fabricated FROM/ABOUT some-thing.
    Now, there is many people who are inclined to assert "hey, no-thing is some-thing too" - "the proof is that you are even talking ABOUT it: You are on this occasion basically using some-thing in order to deny some-thing."

    This assertion is at the core of Presuppositional Apologetics and of the Transcendental argument (behold, you are USING some-thing called truth, consciousness, thought, logic... in order to comment ABOUT truth, consciousness, thought, logic... regardless whether you mean to prove or to dismiss them, behold! You are using them in the veeeerry first place".

    Sure is, i assert a categorical error here: All that I DO use, it is a big elefant in the room: It is the individual evolved-primate brain, and everyone is factually using this brain. The consciousness is but a momentary, temporary symptom of the activity in the brain. the consciousness is {imaginary-non-causal} = epiphenomenal. IF we go quarrel whether the consciousness does exist or not - it is asserting a moot point:
    The consciousness is BUT being fabricated in a brain, while it is working. ONLY if you are capable of intellectually penetrating the very simple assertions of mine - if you accept that every dormancy period is providing an information that the consciousness is but temporarily fabricated - you can successfully refute the above-mentioned Apologetics.

  • Mind over Matter?
    Mind (consciousness) is a mere effect, a mere {symptom rather than a causal agency{ aka {epiphaenomenon}, an effect-
    ON-, OF-, obtained/acquirerd FROM-, ABOUT-
    causal agency aka fact, matter.
    "Brain activity" is the continual re-arrangement of matter.
  • What is Scientism?
    "Scientism" is a derogatory label of the "scientific method"
    Either means that the Scientist can track their physical Statement WORLD3 back to the physical world WORLD1 which is the causal agency AT the creation of WORLD3 which is all that is perceivably manmade in this respect, which is mostly the written word, the statement.
    The Scientist REJECTS any attributation of "causal agency" to the "world-of-thoughts" WORLD2 which is nothing else than the properties of matter.

    The properties of matter are mere illusions. It is only KANT who akknowledged, that "space" and "time" are illusions - unfortunately he did NOT akknowledge that "space" (volume OF matter that is) and "time" (age of matter FROM a change that is) are nothing else than properties of matter, together with a lot more other properties of matter, like mass and energy. I am the author of the listing which summarizes the properties of matter in 4 lines. Nobody will find this listing ANYWHERE.

    WORLD2 = mere inside-brain effects-, perception-hoods, thoughts-, awareness-, consciousness-, Knowledge-, concepts-, descriptions-, properties- = subjective truths- = opinions-, epiphaenomena- = illusions-,
    ON-, OF-, obtained/acquired FROM-, ABOUT-
    outside-brain causal agency aka Facts; the physical; object[IVE Template outside the brain], matter, the cosmos.

    WORLD2 is comprised of
    1)ALL sensations, emotions, values, necessities, purposes, wills
    2)ALL numbers, constants, parameters in the language of mathematics and physics,
    mass, distance, area, space, time, velocity, acceleration, force, pressure, power, energy, temperature
    3)ALL laws, of legislature, of logic, of morality, of physics
    4)ALL those and ONLY those G-Ds we DO [mean to] know, like YHWH, J(the)C and Allah.

    Scientific method: Accepts that you cannot demonstrate a causal agency of ANY of the Elements of WORLD2 as listed above.

    Religious method: Claims that at least certain Elements of WORLD2 -
    A)be entities in independent existence outside the brain rather than fabricated inside the brain
    B)be causal agencies
  • Fact, Fiction and the Gray (do "Facts" actually exist?)
    "Truth" is an inside-brain EFFECT, an epiphaenomenon.= mere symptom = does nuthang,

    ON-, OF-, obtained/acquired FROM-, ABOUT-

    outside-brain causal agency aka
    "Fact", object[IVE Template], object, matter, physical world, cosmos.

    The question "does an apple ACTUALLY exist" is pointless -
    "it exists" JUST means that you fabricated the properties = TRUTHS
    ON-, OF-, obtained/acquired FROM-, ABOUT-
    the outside-brain causal agency, aka "Fact", the "apple" that is
