    Block Universe Theory

    Block Universe Theory

    There is surely a need to understand some aspects of subjective experience of flow of time from POV of physics. Objectively, time does not pass, physics reveals no such phenomenon. Some people do pay attention to such fringe concerns. The quantum theory of time, the block universe and human...

    What If Consciousness Comes First?

    Not at all. :D Examples that you cite are mainly of correlations between first party subjective experience to third party records that have no causal explanations. On the other hand, Spinoza’s double-aspect theory (or current dual aspect monism) is perfectly consistent with the correlations...

    Why Atheism is a Belief System

    QUOTE="Evangelicalhumanist, post: 6210558, member: 47768"]PRECISECLY!!!! The only reason we identify as "atheist" is we are constantly surrounded by people making claims for which they can provide no evidence. You seem to be contradicting yourself in above two texts.

    I have two questions. Why should an experience of dissolution of subject-object division lead to a definition or an understanding of god? Further, why such a definition cannot be supported by the modules in brain?
