My philosophy work is the meaning of my life. But hey, designing big, chunky, old-fashioned minicomputers with blinkenlights is a serious lot of fun too 🤪. I just need to tell myself that this is all for noble, altruistic, educational purposes... ()

THE PHANTOM WORLD HYPOTHESIS OF NDEs/OBEs: what NDErs perceive is not the world, for they don't have functioning sensory organs. Instead, they experience a model of the world in mind-at-large, put together from episodic memories like a giant jigsaw puzzle.

Another off-trail summit for the collection. This isn't a Swiss alp, but at 50, even the small peaks start to count! 🤪 And the rests along the streams at the bottom of the valleys start lasting longer and longer... Overall, though, I'm happy I'm still healthy enough to do this.

There's no objective physical reality. The world we do share isn't physical. Instead, it just appears to us, upon measurement, as physicality. Quantum paradox points to shaky foundations of reality

Let me be crystal clear: What @SamHarrisOrg criticizes is not idealism, it's just his sophomoric hallucination of what he thinks idealism should be. He needs some education, and I am willing to provide it.

How @SamHarrisOrg portrays idealism shows, without a doubt, that he either didn't read or didn't at all understand anything any single idealist in history has ever written. So why comment on idealism? What makes he think that his ignorance of the topic has any value to anyone?

Consistent, repeated, deliberate, strategically manipulative lying, meant to appeal to your grievances by telling you what you want to hear, not what is true and constructive, is an automatic disqualifier in politics in my book, regardless of the opposition.

For a regular person this would be forgivable. But for an alleged intellectual who is supposed to be versed on the salient issues, this is disgraceful. Maybe I and @SamHarrisOrg should have a public, live debate on neutral ground, so I can address his BS? (2/2)
