You're all entitled to your wonderful opinions, however... I'm right. Now I won't continue to bore you all because I've been up late with two twisted twin sisters who raised their own brother who has to deal with FAS and ADS and who can't seem to make it on his own. Whoop whoop whoop...

I don't mean for you to take what I've said as an abrupt statement. That sort of interpretation is left up to the audience. I expect people to read what I say as my opinion and as a repository of my experience rather than as a megalomaniacle decree of the land. What else could what I say be...

Well, that's your introspectionistic theory for you. It is an illusion (as in ill-conceived notion... as in ignorant of all the facts) to imagine love, whatever and whatever as singular and separate from the chemicals from which they are spawned. But, for a collection of rocks that can talk...

Love/Appreciation/Understanding is/are the sum of the parts that are involved in adrenal, testosterone, estrogen and other hormonal release plus neurotransmitters being released because of stimulus that is either memory (chemical and genetic configurations representing stored information about...

Definitions of illusion (need I say more?): * an erroneous mental representation * something many people believe that is false; "they have the illusion that I am very wealthy" * delusion: the act of deluding; deception by creating illusory ideas * magic trick: an illusory feat...

Using the words "concept" and "thought" like they were a universally occurring phenomena is confusing to me (there are places where thoughts do not exist). One requires the "illusion" of a brain to generate them. I believe your reasoning is in reverse where you have to use physical examples to...

The illusion is an illusion. In your illusionary world is there anything to compare it to such as "no illusion" or "illusion free zones"? If the illusion is all there is in that world, with nothing other than illusion to be compared to... the grand illusion singularity... then the...

That's an interesting view of geometry. I always go off when I see the word "nothing". I'm still arriving at a definitive definition of that word. Don't mind me. I agree that geometry is a conceptual construct (which [as far as I know] requires an actual physical brain to be aware of it)...

The physical world can be explained by physics in terms of how is it here?, when was/is/will it be here? and where can we find it?. Why is the physical world here? is a question that physics - pure, semi-pure, slightly dirty or down right corrupt, can not answer except to say that: the...

Geometry thrives on the construct of "nothing". Without "nothing" the "illusion" of the universe would be too crowded to make out any specific geometry. A "cat's cradle" would be impossible to achieve without the concept, construct and existence of "nothing". Simple parallel lines could not...

If we find the root definition of "explanation" or "explain" we run into problems with the question put forth by this thread. An adequate explanation requires that the people communicating ideas and explanations are able to understand them. If everything were explained by pure physics I...

The reason I think using physics as a base explanation and reductive definition of all things is because I've seen and heard so many people explain subjects with the "fear of god" or "karma" or "lordy lordy" and other explanations that reek of the hormones of fear and exhaltation etc... the...

One has to remember that an illusion can only happen if you have a brain. This denotes a binding dependence on the physical as a frame of reference for your illusions. This definition of illusion uses biophysics, physics and common sense in its explanation. Using pure physics to explain an...

All disciplines are disciplines rooted in physics and the physical universe. They study the phenomena created by a physcial universe. The most amorphic topic can be traced to having roots in physics and the physical world. If the topic is truly detached from the physical world then the act of...

Only if we've done our research really well! This would include updates "ad infinitum" as you say. Nice exposé Philocrat. I'd say a large percentage of discussions, perhaps as high as 98%, cannot come to an agreement or a conclusion or a solution because of the scandalously wreckless use...
