I find it incredible that so many economists and smart people still believe that "More Demand for Goods and Services will Create More Employment". This no longer holds: 1) We live in mostly automatic societies - economies where most work is no longer needed, is automated, is optimized and...

Another idea that comes in mind is if the universe is actually only 2 dimensional and the depth dimension really is a size dimension. If something is far away it looks smaller because it IS smaller. When we take a picture and project a 3 dimensional world on a 2 dimensional picture maybe we are...

Is size circular ? If physics discovers that A is composed of B, and B of C, this would be a typical reductionist view A -> B -> C. Now imagine that at the Planck level C ends up being composed of a smaller A, and the above loop goes on forever. If you were at any given size level you could say...

You can look at:http://www.ilovephilosophy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=149592 https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=117562The computer example was just an idea. True that a computer could end up inventing and simulating all its registers and logic gates and figure itself out. Then if we...

Yes, if you look at some of my last posts you will see some ideas I have reached on this. The fact that there is a starting point that we automatically have in our mind before we even start thinking, and this is made up of logic-math-language-space-time means that we will never be able to...

I agree somewhat with you, when you reach the edge of knowledge it is hard to express thoughts. If you look at science and the laws of physics from a far enough point of view, they are just quirk assignments, they have no intrinsic necessity. This does not mean they do not work or that they...

Matter is infinite, our universe contains within itself all the universes that are not part of it, that are outside our universe. It also contains all the possible universes. If matter is self interacting, then maybe it is simply a self invention, it creates itself by observing itself, it may...

OK. Yes the idea is more in the arena of philosophy or metaphysics. But if we look at a material system composed of two items, one item is a "scientist" thinking, experimenting and interacting with another item that is an experimental apparatus configured in a certain way, well the total of...

Anything could be considered impossible or simply everyday routine. It is mostly tied up to our subjective perception of things. Anyways the following thread may help understand better: http://www.ilovephilosophy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=149592

So then we are not made up of matter ? what are we made up of, pure spirit ? are we looking at the universe from OUTSIDE the universe ? We are matter looking at itself and talking to itself. Maybe a large complex assembly of matter organized in a certain way, but WE ARE MATTER THAT IS LOOKING...

Aside from the idea that MATTER KNOWS ITSELF, HENCE IT IS ACTUALLY SIMPLY TALKING TO ITSELF SO CAN UNDERSTAND AND DECODE ITSELF, there are two other important points to keep in mind: 1) Natural language reduces to being purely mathematical when all is said and done. The decomposing of a Natural...

Another interesting point is the debate between creationists and natural evolutionists. What makes a magic assignment of the creation by a god more or less miraculous or incredible then a sequence of causes and effects that lead to the same result ? They can both be seen as totally miraculous...

The reason why mathematics is so effective is because MATTER KNOWS ITSELF. Why wouldn't matter be able to decode itself ? After all we are simply matter talking to itself, decoding itself and ultimately manipulating itself. So matter can discover its own laws and regularities, so why be...

Interesting. It shows how logic-mathematics can be so general as to include and model anything imaginable. To truly get to something different or new we would have to literally get out of the box; modify our neural circuits, mental neural networks, their connections to emotions, new complex and...

Explanations are paintings or drawings. If in the future we somehow lived inside a computer simulation where objects popped into existence from nowhere and then dissappeared or where we could walk on water if we said a magic formula and any other extravagant miraculous phenomena existed, then we...
