Well I see the human from a materialist perspective. For me mind is only the thoughts. I don't even like using the term mind since it is so abstract...
Yes, but in this case physical stress is implied. When you feel tension etc. hormones are released in your body which are physical things. So what...
Unfortunately this is not a joke. I hear what you say. BUT.. physical stress is what you say plus the stress that you feel when your heartbeat...
Anyone knows the difference? To me physical stress is the normal stress that we feel when we get symptoms like high pulse and sweating. Mental...
I wasn't trying to explain consciousness. My only point was that consciousness can be either real or not real (an illusion). So I pointed out the...
I think the main issue is that we come from different backgrounds. You sound like a philosophy guy who excepts to solve questions by using mere logic...
Why do you think there has to be something special? People tend to believe that things they don't understand are complex as hell (aka special). When...

I would certainly choose the endless life. I already find eating, shitting and sleeping a big waste of time. We pretty much waste 1/3 of our life...
I've put up a portfolio so would be keen in hearing some opinions from people who don't know me. I will use the portfolio when applying for...
Can you provide a link to that study. Sounds like something interesting to read :cool:
I am quite surprised of how many people in these forums believe in supernatural ****. I thought there would be some science in here. What do you...
It's not supernatural as long as you don't believe in karma with reincarnation which many Hindus do.
Here we obviously don't talk about platonic love but erotic love. To avoid falling into love, you should stop having contact with anyone who you...
Did you find any ways to avoid love? Because the only way would be to avoid any contact with females(if you're heterosexual).
I think that can be explained scientifically. Not a long time ago I read in a biological psychology book that if a person does a favour to someone...
Separate names with a comma.
