Anything that is beyond a conscious subject/organism is unknowable, for the physical world and its energies/objects are utterly meaningless in and of themselves. It is the old saying subject and object stand or fall together, meaning if there is no conscious subject there is no apparent reality if ...

Contradictions only exist as thoughts, as distinct from things. Thoughts are things as thoughts are distinctions just as things are distinctions. Yes. So, when you have Blue-Green-Red pixels, and you talk about "quantity of being a pixel", that is just a thought you made, a description yo...

Age, Although BOTH 'you', human beings, and 'robots' can make decisions and BOTH of you can only make decisions based upon only 'that', which has been 'programmed' into each of you, the difference between 'robots' and 'you', human beings, is that WITHIN human beings there is an ABILITY to learn, und...

You are super confused. 1st person experience of the memory of sipping tasty coffe is different to the 1st person experience of sipping tasty coffee. Your experience of remembering is 1st person. Your experience of the tastiness of coffee isn't. Why equivocate? Why the "experience of tastiness...

1. The separation of parts necessitates all parts as connected through the quality of separation. 2. If connection is not a thing then a falsity occurs as saying "connection" is to make a distinction, this distinction is a thing. 1- You are creating an abstract though when you say "c...

Everything cannot be simplified to any one thing as thingness necessitates one thing being distinct to another thing in which case everything as a thing requires something beyond the everything thus everything is not everything. ¿? Universe = everything = all the things that exists = 3 color pixels...

I cant say "I am not anything" because when I say "I" I am refering to something, so is like saying: "I am something that is not something". This is a contradiction. But some people understand this, beyond the limit of knowledge... Being is a contradiction. Being or de...

If "truth" is always relative, then, there is no contradiction. If there is no-contradiction then to observe contradiction results in a contradiction. When you "observe" contradiction? give me an example. I just observe one person saying "it's hot" and then I feel it c...

Why do those 'you' who BELIEVE that there is only a 'deterministic world' also BELIEVE that 'you' can CHOOSE to behave in ways, or are ABLE to CHANGE things, which in turn would make 'this world' a better place? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Paris_Tuileries_Garden_Facepalm_sta...

Yes, we have the ability to CHOOSE, in the same way an autonomous make choices when it has to decide if stop or not when see a person passing in front. Maybe that decision is wrong, mayb...

Pretty much every account of your own experiences! Those are memories of expriences, not experiences themselves. I had a tasty sip of coffee. It's not happening right now, but it happened 1 second ago. But that is your 1st person experience, where an imagination of the past ocurrs. I dont know what...

What is a 3rd person experience? Can you offer an example? Pretty much every account of your own experiences! Those are memories of expriences, not experiences themselves. I had a tasty sip of coffee. It's not happening right now, but it happened 1 second ago. But that is your 1st person experience...

Is the same pattern for all the "Bad" things. For example, try to explain what "frustration" is. Do the same with "hope" or "anxiety", etc. ---- All the behaviors of humans and other things in general can be explained as a "returning to God". So, yo ...

Age, you are wrong, but you know what I think about you. Too much Ego that quit the desire to explain to you what you have understanding wrong. The REAL reason 'you' QUIT is because 'you' are just NOT ABLE to EXPLAIN WHY, nor even WHERE and WHAT I am SUPPOSEDLY understanding "wrong" here....

Too much Ego that quit the desire to explain to you what you have understanding wrong.
