:tup: I dont have time to get involved yet, but I will do so in the next day or so. Just want to say; lets keep it clean, civil and in a spirit of exchanging ideas, not confrontation. That way were all winners. Just ignore me, I am just feeling all harmonious at the moment; Harmony - greater than pe...

I think your 'I' observer is like the near instantaneous magnetic flux in the recording head - inconstant and without identity or any 'mental capability'. Just to let you know I appreciate your attempt to illustrate some of the alternate models of subjective experience, and the role of memory in sh...

Indeed, the activity of the brain (or activity of the mind) creates these things; thoughts, feelings, stories, descriptions, self images. But thats not the level I am talking about. All these are things of which we are aware to a larger or smaller level, these are objects of awareness, but not the ...

Now I try to deal with facts of a converstaion, by which I mean what you actually said. You seem to wish to deal with some other version. You, Little Idiot, are fucking gone from the universe of interlocutors I take seriously. ... Well, then: Don't fucking bother. You're off the list of people I ca...

Defining 'I am the same' is an issue if identity, which relies on memory. You could say that while you are conscious there is an 'I', but you can;t say it is the same 'I' unless you can connect it to previous instants of consciousness with memory. Subjectivity is not continuous, but is blind to the...

Well you believe as you wish, but my empirical evidence supports an alternative theory; you say, when introducing the topic of gravity and acceleration; You are in a windowless room in what is either an accelerated reference frame like an elevator, or you are experiencing a gravitational field. Wha...

When you can account for your own use of the term "physical", we may have something more to talk about. Beyond the fact that the physical environment is a fact of our experience, what other account could I need? We do experience it, therefore I am able to use the term and think about it. Whats more...

Did you find all this too much work, and tired-tired seepy-seepy? Poor bebby. Have nice nappy-poo, and then get up to make more woo. And more poo. STFU. You have no idea what I have been doing IRL, why I am 9claiming to be) tired. And its not because of this silly little throw away forum discussion...

Is there any way to say that one experience is really the same as another? ... and ... Only you talk about "experiences", mainly because you seem to want to wibble on about your experience of god, or some other sort of woo. Bend a spoon with it, Little Idiot. Then we'll know that your experience is...

there is a common element, but no evidence of a non-mental element. You are such a funny guy! You refute yourself within a clause. :hilarious: I do no such thing. There is no contradiction in the statement you quote. Intersubjective agreement between mental experiences does NOT suggest a non-mental...

Little Idiot, or invite me to continue and tell you what I think you are if you prefer. Of course, and as simply as is possible please. My question 'what am I?' is a more modern version of the classic 'who am I?' It does not pre-suppose an individual personality, however. The answer; Am I the body ...

Objective experience provides no evidence of an experience beyond mental. I have suggested we do not, and can not have evidence for anything other than a mental world. As you know from general relativity, an accelerated reference frame is indistinguishable from a gravitational field. You are in a w...
