I would myself feel very uneasy with hate speech laws. So as long as safety is maintained, and proper respect of someone's lawful rights is maintained, then by all means speak your mind. But to slander a person with untrue remarks, and paint people over with lies should carry a legal punishment. In ...

Is non locality in physics supernatural, or Schroedingers cat. Where do you draw the line? Physics does not try to tell us how to behave. The supernatural Gods do via their delusional followers. Regards DL It's the need for eternal life, and also the indoctrination pressure that leads to the delusi...

To debate is to refute that which is not justifiable. It's useful for more black and white arguments. A dialectic must compel, and is far more worthy an endeavour. When someone is literally trying to understand another, more fruitful things happen. Debate breeds conflict, and a false sense of superi...

Where do you draw the line?

Perhaps time is both a force, and also a hypothetical measure counter. But both would be very real. I totally see that there could actually be an outside reality to the force of time. Time makes everything contiguous as a force. As a hypothetical measure counter, everything is subject to the tick to...

I've seen that video before. It's very interesting. The bias factor is far less than benevolent I think. Benevolent charity is ideal. Us vs. Them isn't to me. That's what old Ebenezer Scrooge learned late in life. I need justification for making adversaries, and being different is poor justification...

Supposing humans are born in neutrality between the choices of good or evil, with the full capacity to choose and become either nature forever at heart, then responsibility shifts from god, solely to the human being. Otherwise we are predetermined robots bearing no responsibility nor accountability ...

I think to me there are levels of compassion; basic good hearted deserve is the first layer, than empathy understanding ability lends to further compassion, the second layer, and the highest level of compassion is those who are doing good works out of charity of heart, the third layer. Compassion wi...

It would very easily be chance, if intelligent beings didn't exist, and everything was happening about mindlessly. But the mere existence of intelligence and order suggests eternal mind. Perhaps the number of variables and constants in the universe is so large in quantities of properties that eventu...

Without definition, identity, unitization, constancy, conceptualization, relationship and variability then math is just fantasy. Math needs logical basis to take on meaning. I wonder if there are more operators in math yet discovered or realized. Fine!, addition, subtraction, division and multiplica...

:oops: Over my head! But I'm not into science deeply. To me in our 3 dimensions the first two dimensions are abstract and non physical, and the third dimension makes the tangible world. You must be talking about a spirit dimension that mirrors the physical dimension, perhaps manifesting the physical...

I actually bought one of Laszlo's books on it. Thanks!

I believe the field is constant and very naturalistic, I don't see reality changing all that much other than entropy. I do think the field has new information coming in all the time.

I don't have a problem with it. Materialists will always have a problem with it. I don't.

Infinite regression, cyclical universe, branes in higher dimensions, or uncaused cause. Those seem to be the only options. The thing about an uncaused cause is that it entails agency, and an eternal reality that seems to answer people's questions about fine tuning, and the logical functional organiz...

That's the sense I get from non locality in quantum entanglement. That an ethereal, omnipresent field is where information is recorded. It supersedes all physicality. Matter might emanate from it. I suspect consciousness information resides in that field. But I'm drawing my own inferences on all of ...
