Mike: while smaller but very vocal schools of thought are looking at the confabulation as fundamental. Citation? Cognitive neuroscience sees CONSCIOUSNESS as FUNDAMENTAL, and what we think we see is not reality. The analogy is icons in the interface of the computer desktop. The email icon is not what generates and executes the email, but the icon is exceedingly more useful and efficient than screwing with all the circuits and transistors. I posted a TedTalk from Donal Hoffman a while back. I'll look for it and repost while Mike looks for his citation.

Mike: In the Bible man's mind is portrayed as egotistical and self boasting. and not possessing the great wisdom it likes to think. Hence, the motivation to purchase credentials

Mike: neuroscience these days sees human consciousness as a bit of a confabulation. A profoundly inaccurate assertion. Neuroscientists today see consciousness as FUNDAMENTAL. And the mathematicians and physicists working with them see spacetime as doomed. Anyone interested in what they are working on can find out for themselves.

If victor and his collaterals could have been given enemas when he died, both victor and his collaterals could have been buried together in a matchbox.
-
This hypocrisy needs to be understood. Well said. victor went to great lengths to bash academia, yet he beleeeved those credentials to be so very important that he purchased a "degree" so he could pretend to have academic authority and credibility. Why invoke an academic title, if it's meaningless?

Did you mean shonta-poster?

Ever go to the beach out there in California? Ever play in the ocean? Ever scoop and hold the water with your hands? What is in your hands? Is the ocean in your hands? Now, is Truth something to be possessed?

Kind of a Gödel dilemma there. My mind isn't closed to anything. Only a wide open mind can perceive that there is no good reason for a closed mind.
-
This is the thread to settle T7TMOG. Once that's settled, we'll discuss the illusion of free will.
-
Because the benefits don't exist. The probability of a closed mind ever conferring benefits is exactly ZERO.

I just did. Call your boy.

Did you convert any in your science club? Did you admit to them how you feel about confirmation bias?
-
This is About the Way. All the way. From San Diego to Portland, Maine. it's about the Way.

Real simple: your boy, Johniam, said a music coordinator told him victor was The 7th THE Man of God (T7TMOG). WITAF does this mean? Who are the other six? Does this mean Loy is the 8th The Man of God? Who is this music coordinator? Call your boy. I want answers.
-
Already did, but I'll warn you the discussion of the topic of the illusion of free will is contingent upon answering some lingering questions. Details are in the opening post.
-
You don't have to answer this, if you don't want to. Were you the subject of a study at UCSD? Or, did you receive treatment for anything there?
-
Pennies are the secret weapon for this shift. Did you convert any in your UCSD science club? Did you admit to them how you feel about confirmation bias?
-
I've wondered the same.
-
Did you convert anyone? Did you let them know how you feel about confirmation bias?
-
Did you meet Donald Hoffman?
-
Like who? Donald Hoffman?

Mike wanted me to start this topic so he can do what he does. What I want is to find out is who the other six "the men of god" are. Johniam said a music coordinator told him victor was "The 7th THE Man of God." Who is this music coordinator and who are the other six "THE Men of God"? I'm happy to discuss determinism and the illusion of free will, as long a we get to the bottom of this T7TMOG thing. This goes to the heart of cult manipulation and cult leadership and what it means to be a cult.
-
These are great questions. I've spent 50 years searching them again. Lot of deep searching again. Started before I was born. I've got lots of notes. HOWEVER, My main focus is in.... oh, God! So much BULLSHONTA!!!!

I can identify with you on every level here. I was even a professional in the trade. I learned to understand and appreciate a wide variety of wine, beers and spirits, even the ones I didn't like. But Drambuie always baffled me. I could never understand it nor appreciate it. Gross.
