I vanliga medvetandetillstånd finns det en distinktion mellan upplevelsens subjekt och objekt, det vill säga mellan den som har upplevelsen (till exempel du eller jag) och det som upplevs (exempelvis njutning, smärta, sinnesförnimmelser och så vidare). Men i den mystiska upplevelsen tycks denna uppdelning alltså falla samman och mystikern hamnar i ett tillstånd av formlöst medvetande. Än mer dramatiskt är mystikerns påstående att det i sådana tillstånd blir tydligt att det formlösa medvetandet utgör bakgrunden till alla individuella medvetna upplevelser, och att det formlösa medvetandet därför i ett viktigt avseende är varje medvetet sinnes yttersta natur. Vissa har hävdat att den här insikten underminerar den vanliga förståelsen av distinktionerna mellan olika människor och leder till övertygelsen att vi på ett djupare plan "alla är ett".

When Lily said to "name 50 villians" who are "sympathetic," that was too easy. But now that we've graduated to Lily's bullshit moving of the goal post . . . Well, being annoying is one of my special interests, so.

Every time I’ve heard Philip Goff speak I’ve always found him rhetorically underwhelming which is a shame because panpsychism is an incredibly interesting perspective. I think there’s a host of worthwhile ideas to be explored in that space; I just haven’t seen him exploring them very deftly. The worldviews of Spinoza and Leibniz need philosophical work to be made compatible with more modern frameworks, and Goff doesn’t seem to want to do that work.

I’ve seen him be asked “why would you believe this?” multiple times and I’ve never heard him give an answer to that question, he just restates what it is he believes. It’s frustrating. Sometimes he says things like, the belief in panpsychism is more spiritually enriching than physicalism, which is at least cogent but is a straightforwardly bad reason.

He’s also said that children reared in a panpsychist tradition (as opposed to a physicalist or dualist tradition) would be less indifferent to and more protective of the environment. Which I think is silly. To his credit, it’s an empirical question that can be tested, but I don’t think he would find an actual answer to the specific test he’s suggesting very pertinent to the point he is trying to make. But clearly there are plenty of physicalists who care deeply about the environment. That position isn’t as incoherent as he want to imply without directly stating.

Theosophically, Goff is in a bind. According to Goff’s preferred form of theism, while God can create the universe and set up its physical laws, he can’t monkey around with them once the universe has been created. The reason Goff’s view is set up this way is to explain fine-tuning while dodging the problem of evil. After all, if God can’t miraculously intervene in the world, he can’t save a fawn from a forest fire, or stop Murray Rothbard from writing books.

Equally though, if God can’t suspend to laws of physics to prevent evils, he can’t suspend them to perform miracles, either. Thus, on Goff’s telling, there can be no virgin birth, no water to wine, no multiplying loaves and fishes. Why do the Gospel’s say these things happened? Because—Goff says—the Gospels are sometimes wrong.

The Mystery of Consciousness Is Deeper Than We Thought | Scientific American, Prof. Philip Goff

Despite great progress, we lack even the beginning of an explanation of how the brain produces our inner world of colors, sounds, smells and tastes. A thought experiment with “pain-pleasure” zombies illustrates that the mystery is deeper than we thought.

Trish Goff at Philip Treacy, Fall 1996

[dorisblogs]

There was some debate about Griffin

Nobody in this year's class can be described as a "superior" player. The Rams are said to Mut 24 coins be in search of the services of a quarterback but pretty everyone agrees that a quarterback's position isn't the most desirable player to be picked in this year's draft, or even within the top three.

If you're selecting a quarterback can really stand out from the other players: Draft experts are pretty evenly divided on what the top quarterback for this particular year would be Wentz and Jared Goff. The Chargers might be able to trade Philip Rivers, but they'd probably make the mistake of a trade too.

There was some debate about Griffin and Andrew Luck in 2012. as well as a debate on Jameis Winston, or Marcus Mariota last year, but this differs. These were highly regarded prospects competing to be the best. This is a crop of prospects with potential, and no one knows which will be the best.

The week before, Bill Barnwell of ESPN detailed how in the lottery-like draft "the most effective strategy is to purchase more tickets." The RG3 trade was perhaps the best example to date, however the losers of that trade appear to be completely unaware of this lesson.

LaDainian Tomlinson says the Chargers should sell Philip Rivers. He believes the Chargers are in rebuilding mode and they should sell Philip Rivers instead of ruin the rest of his career. Can that be considered realistic? Maybe it will work out however the Rams should know better.

It is logical on the surface of things. The Chargers have been, yet again, an absolute disaster, dropping three games in an incredibly painful manner by blowing their fourth-quarter lead. Rivers isn't part of buy madden 24 coins the issue. He's completing 68 percent of passes. He averages 7.8 yards per attempt and has 1.110 yards.

PANPSYCHISM?

Are we in another evolutionary period? Is there an awakening? Dr Philip Goff is a professor of philosophy at Durham University. The University is the third oldest university in Britain after Oxford and Cambridge. Dr Goff says, “Most people think consciousness only exists in the brains of complex biological organisms. I defend panpsychism, the view that consciousness pervades the universe and…
