Beware not the tensors, but the prompters.

@NovaAdept @Wescp @Philip_Goff Yeah, that has been the materialism project all along.

@MiskaKuusela @Philip_Goff The more I listen to theoretical physicists the less I am certain that we know what the matter is or where the boundaries of physics lie

[Deemah 🇺🇦 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 @dmi3k]

@rcorpatauxTS @Philip_Goff Where are the boundaries of physical science? Are quantum fields included?

[Deemah 🇺🇦 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 @dmi3k]

@Philip_Goff When pressed, honest physicalist will also admit they have no idea what “matter” is (beyond what we call quantum field)

[Deemah 🇺🇦 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 @dmi3k]

@Wescp @Philip_Goff Panprotopsychism is a new age rebranded version of physicalism. Every materialist believes that matter, when properly arranged, gives rise to consciousness.

@Alfredovich65 And why is it, Peter that conclusions from the "good arguments" can be reasonably rejected? Why is it?

@daniel_mac8 So you don’t consider this to be a question of metaphysics? You somehow think it’s an empirical question, and the answer can be found and interpreted unequivocally for everyone regardless of their metaphysical commitments?

@BMcGrewvy I’d say that that in the absence of divine revelation it would be a very plausible starting point, yes. It has been for many civilizations!

@Danish_SMF "I’m not convinced" involves more than just evidence. It involves your seemings and values.

Trying to formulate medieval vision of decision making.

Deciding is about seeing rightly in all three dimensions:
- cognitive: clarity about reality, what is true
- evaluative: clarity about what is good, moral
- aesthetic: sensitivity to what is fitting, meaningful, worthy

@troywojick The theist is more likely to buy idealism, because physicalism makes no account of consciousness or soul, but he would promptly insist that although we are made of mind-like substance, that substance is also created. It is not God. God is ontologically separate from all creation

[Deemah 🇺🇦 🇳🇴 🇸🇪 @dmi3k]

@troywojick Idealist pantheist, like Bernardo Kastrup, would say that yes, we are "made of god". Materialist pantheist, like all physicalists, would say that universe is self-caused, eternal, so in essence it is also god and we are part of it. >>
