I’d also add the balance doesn’t allow all things to be possible, rather it prevents anything from happening.
It’s also worth repeating that there is no such thing as spontaneity. Everything has a cause, and emptiness doesn’t exist.
So…still wrong on all points.

Re: Translucense
I already proved your points wrong as well as show you don’t know what words mean or how they’re used. Not to mention this is clearly just nonsense at this point. It’s like badly mangled Buddhism. 25. In everything being different everything is the same by sharing the quality of 'standing apart' or ...

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Like...if you believe that mind is primary then you might as well just skip ahead to solipsism while you're at it.

Re: Philosophy of Mind
I haven't mentioned god, you have. I'm an atheist and have been talking in terms of "processes", "relationships" and "information", not "spirits", "ghosts" and "souls". Get your head out of your ass so that we can stop talking past each ot...

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Even funnier is how anyone arguing for a mind doesn’t see how that would lead to solipsism.

Ad Homs are the only response to god of the gaps arguments. You’re essentially referencing your own ignorance for why things are as you claim. I haven't mentioned god, you have. I'm an atheist and have been talking in terms of "processes", "relationships" and "information&q...

Re: Philosophy of Mind
We regard promissory materialism as superstition without a rational foundation. The more we discover about the brain, the more clearly do we distinguish between the brain events and the mental phenomena, and the more wonderful do both the brain events and the mental phenomena become. Promissory mat...

Re: Philosophy of Mind
P-zombie is more about consciousness not mind. We have no evidence for the existence of mind, so you repeating it doesn’t make it real. Like I said all the functions we apply to “mind” is the brain. The brain is what makes color, not mind. I know color doesn’t exist “out there” it’s wavelengths our...

Re: Philosophy of Mind
No doubt. That elasticity doesn't really explain how someone with half a brain continues to be the person they were when they had a full brain. Elasticity, as explanation, doesn't cut the mustard. But, you know this. There's also the guy missing 90% of his brain. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappen...

Re: Philosophy of Mind
I also wouldn’t be citing solipsism or p zombies against it either (weird they did in the SA article, guess they don’t get it). If it’s all the brain then we can prove other people are conscious and all that good stuff. But if you want to keep clinging to mind then you’ll have to deal with solipsism...

Re: Philosophy of Mind
Seems to be the opposite to me. Mind is primary and you only know of brains and neurological patterns via the mind, so brains would be a metaphor, or model, of other minds. Minds model other minds as a perception of brains. Minds model the world as a perception of solid, static objects - think of c...

Re: Philosophy of Mind
What evidence? Everything in modern neuroscience and psychology: Really? An idiot wrote: How are our "desires and motivations" able to "escape" a brain that is wholly in sync with the laws of matter? Mebbe becuz mind is not a product of brain? A conclusion one might draw if one ...

Mind is a metaphor for the patterns on the brain which includes opinions, priorities, fears and desires, options, memories, experiences, knowledge, quirks, personality, character, consciousness, etc. Seems to be the opposite to me.
