Concepts or states of being like self-awareness; emotions
like anger and love; other concepts such as philosophy,
religion, civic and social order are deemed illusory.
Existing only as a byproduct of thought. Thought which
exists only as some biological occurrence, not really part
of nature (because nature is only interested in physical
survival, sustenance and reproduction), so an evolutionary
burp, a hiccup. Full of concepts that don't actually mean
anything in a hardwired, cosmic, real universe kind of way,
they just mean what we decided they should as we went along
daydreaming them up. So, the negative consequences of
thought such as war, oppression, etc. are all in vain, and
we would all do better if we wouldn't think about philosophy
and religion, right and wrong, love, hate, social order or
anything above my big natural 3. Just quit the game. F it.
It's not real.

Here, folks, is a pitfall and delusion of naturalism. I
can't test it in my little laboratory so it doesn't exist.
Well the thing is we already know (and have discussed on
here) that we do not have physical evidence of
consciousness. We can watch activity in the brain but it is
like examining an engine without addressing what fuel is or
where it comes from. So, of course all ideas and concepts
would be elusive as well, because they are subcomponants of
our consciousness. Consciousness is real though, because we
can experience and test its effects. Like a black hole, we
can "see" it in its environment. All of our thoughts, ideas
and concepts must also be considered in this way.

Therefore, until UG can prove that consciousness is nothing
beyond a physical process, he is in no way qualified to know
for sure that thoughts, ideas and concepts have no greater
meaning. Not from a purely naturalistic perspective anyway,
all things considered.

I mean how many of you would agree that math is real? It's
not just something people kind of came up with as a big
catch all to explain distances, weights, degrees etc. which
were just random observed properties of nature that have
only incidental relationships to one another. no, it is
actually real. as real as gravity, is math, but how the f
do you test for math? we can document how we weigh
something, or how we measure it. we can document how
something multiplies, or divides. we can use complex
algorithms to process data and simulate intelligence. But
what about the concept that all of those
observations have a cohesive form beyond just being a
categorical sum of all of the parts, (why do the parts that
make the sum of "math" have commonalities and relationships
that would make people group them together in the first
place?) Explain the relationship. What is math? I am
going to take the BOC vote and say that math, as something
that has identity beyond just that assigned by human
concept, has observable relationships between its divisions
and is an integral part of the entire macrosystem of
reality. Math is real.

If one can be afected by material stuff so that one must be
material too. If it is not material it canot be afected,
because particles dont interact with emptynes. So thoughts
is real too, because they can be effected by chemicals,
electrochemical reactions, neurotic trasmiters... We all are
just pupets of the nature, there is no such thing as free
will. There is such level that we exist with nature as one
being.

"Lay off cygnus. What's he done wrong?"

Sorry i guess only you, cygnus and cx can take part in this
wankfest.

So, tough guts, you need to be banned in order not to come
here?

Right, my turn. Who's drinking what?
