Re: against Physicalism
Oops, I think I must have been responding to a post on one of the other forums... or something. I guess I was really tired! I don't see anything about information on this thread... just experience, not the same thing, so I'm not sure what I was thinking. There is a long tradition in physics etc. sta...

Re: The age old question
I wonder if Hinduism in some sense is closer to Christianity, in regard of suffering, not just because of theism (in the orthodox schools) but in seeing the world as a place of struggle whose goal is unity with the Godhead (in most branches of Christianity, community with the Godhead, though in Orth...

Re: What is hell?
Jumping in here as a non-Christian but sort of fellow traveler, it would be kind of silly for God to create a world whose point was to get to heaven instead of just making it all heaven to begin with (to state things naively). It's true that a lot of American Christians would say that believing in J...

Re: From David Albert's review of Krauss;'s universe from nothin
I kind of like the downhome sound of "universe from nothin". Could be a good but nerdy country song. I don't see why physicists like Krauss don't discuss Kant on space and causality and so on; clearly there is a long tradition of understanding the laws of physics (and everyday phenomenology) as some...

Re: against Physicalism
What counts as "information"? The naive everyday sense of the word always relates to agents, human or non-human, but not, say, atoms (if atom A hits atom B, it is not informing B of its position). So arguments that relate information to physicalism must be more subtle... This doesn't mean that infor...

Re: Where'd everybody go?
We'll I'm here, but it's 4 in the morning here and I am too fuzzy minded to even understand what the arguments are about (on the other forum discussions). Maybe you can tell me where the action is? but i wont' be able to intelligently comment until I read them for a day or more... Not sure if I can ...

Re: definition of
Whitehead says somewhere that God remembers or "prehends", or something like that... I've sort of forgotten my Whitehead -- anyway, let's say God remembers all the creativity and events of the universe. Then the finiteness is not a problem. Blake says, "eternity is in love with the productions of ti...
