    Whose view represents reality the best?

    Presumption. Not really. I believe and follow dialectical materialism at the level of phenomenal life. But I think that Marx was not a deterministic materialist— at least he propagated the idea that human beings can and must change their lot. And Quantum physics now proposes Contextuality (and...

    I agree.

    Whose view represents reality the best?

    What about the difficulty (if not impossibility) of discerning the truth of 'yourself' beneath the activity of mind-senses?

    Whose view represents reality the best?

    Yes. Old foe. How do you do? I do know your inflexible ideology. :D I wanted to say that the red does not necessarily lead to the blue.

    Outmanoeuvred

    With a very prominent M on the kid’s forehead, people suggested a few names. Family people decided on Mario.

    Outmanoeuvred

    Yeah. Her action might come as rude to some. We did not feel that way, surely. Probably from our core we wanted such a cutie? …

    Outmanoeuvred

    I agree. This kid is already displaying his regal status. When he is picked and then put down after cuddling, first thing he does is to sit in a corner and lick himself clean. Not arrogant. But a natural regal kid.

    Outmanoeuvred

    We have been out-manoeuvred by a family member. For 2-3 years now, my younger daughter has been declaring that she had selected one and would be getting a doggo (and/or a cat). Wife and me opposed her tooth and nail, for several reasons. The main reason is that I am afraid of attachment and...

    A cutie has captured our hearts

    Thank you @Stonetree for the wise words. Yes this short and sad friendship with this seemingly insignificant friend has changed me. The form has vanished but what the little guy represented will remain. …

    A cutie has captured our hearts

    Our little friend passed away in the night, leaving painful void in our hearts. Remembering his walk throughout our house, globus rises in throat. He was a guest for only 7 days but he made us sob. We saw his condition deteriorate every day. This picture was taken about 5-6 hours before his...

    The Reptile-Brain, the Atheist, and the Jew.

    Nothing more to add. If you wish, you may read Paul Duessen on the subject. Let me part with an agreement. I fully agree to the validity of the question “Who is this "we" that can rebel against genes (biology) and memes (ideology)?” Materialists do not ever answer this.

    The Reptile-Brain, the Atheist, and the Jew.

    Again, you expose your ignorance. For Kant's Transcendental Argument differs both from Berkley's Idealism and Christianity. Kant and Schopenhauer are closest to Vedanta. You may wish to get an introduction on the subject from writing of Paul Deussen, if you so wish. However, in contrast to...

    Dr. Bernardo Kastrup’s “Small Theory of Everything"

    I am sharing a video of Dr. Bernardo Kastrup, a double doctorate in computer science and analytical philosophy, on the topic of materialism versus idealism. I have posted this video especially for agnostic friends and readers who are temperamentally left-leaning. I hope friends will have the...

    The Reptile-Brain, the Atheist, and the Jew.

    That is your perspective and it is biased, from my perspective. Eastern religions, in their core scriptures do not depend on no myth, but on direct examination of the nature of self. Furthermore, Hinduism, especially is not all about asceticism. You lack information. Thank you for your...

    I agree. Today or tomorrow we will have to take a decision. Thank you.
