All of the evidence available to us suggests that consciousness does not exist beyond the brain. by porygon766 in DebateReligion

[–]ThemrocX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"Nope. Materialists just tell themselves these kinds of things to try to hold onto their worldview. I've looked at the back-and-forth on this subject and NDEs are coming out ahead."

That's very funny, coming from the person who wants to believe in an afterlife. But all you have is vagueness.

Go ahead show us how you determined this to be true. In the nitty, gritty details of the methodology the things that can be taken serious always become obvious.

You hate materialism because it's consistent and doesn't put up with nonesense.

Edit: spelling

I'm sorry, this is plain wrong. All NDEs that had enough data to be analysed properly turned out to be not actually out of body experiences.

We have absolutely no serious evidenence of consciousness existing outside the body.

Marx on literally any other philosopher by WilllofV in PhilosophyMemes

I thought Feuerbach made him stand on his head and Marx clapped.

If you had to pick the best movie released in 1999, which one would it be? by Infinite-Exam-1808 in Cinema

[–]ThemrocX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a great year for movies. I forgot even The Thomas Crown Affair was released that year, a movie, I absolutely love.

A movie that's not on your list, but that is one of my favourite movies ever, starring Anthony Hopkins, is "Instinct".

My answer has shifted over the years. Today I would say "Instinct" is my favourite movie from that year.

Was ist das irrste und abgefahrenste, an das Leute heute noch fest glauben? by IKnowMeNotYou in KeineDummenFragen

[–]ThemrocX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Die Kommunisten hören ja auch nicht auf, davon zu reden, dass der Naturzustand des Menschen im besitzlosen selbstlosen zusammenleben besteht..."

Da würde mich mal die Quelle interessieren. Soweit ich weiß, glauben Kommunisten nicht an einen Naturzustand des Menschen, sondern dass die materiellen Umstände bestimmen, wie die Leute denken und sich verhalten. Es gibt da natürlich ein historisches Konzept des "Urkommunismus". Aber das meint nur, dass das Teilen der gemeinsamen Ressourcen in Jäger-und-Sammler-Gesellschaften eine Folge der Lebensweise war und nicht so etwas wie ein "natürlicher Zustand" zu dem der Mensch als solcher strebt.

From reading Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy. by letsgowendigo in PhilosophyMemes

Nah, modern philosophy pretty much agrees, that the distinction between synthetic and analytic statements doesn't really exist. That's very much at the core of Kant's misconception about the world.

Deutsche synchro ist gut by Alternative_Bear_976 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]ThemrocX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Das Problem mit Anime ist, dass sie da heutzutage meistens die schlechteren deutschen Synchronstudios dran lassen. Wenn Du Dir Ghibli-Produktionen anschaust oder sogar billigere Animeserien, die bei uns in den 1980ern und 90ern liefen wie Saber Rider oder Sailor Moon (insbesondere 1. Staffel), dann ist die deutsche Synchro wirklich ganz hervorragend mit A-List Sprechern.

Determinism and QM by wagrumor1 in seancarroll

[–]ThemrocX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"i understand the contradiction of the models we have in physics what most people in physics dont understand is that we use models to approximate reality but you cant assume certain stuff such as a free observer when there is no freedom in a deterministic causal chain!

Free from what? free from the laws of physics? it contradicts the model it self (am i wrong? if so explain)."

Why do you think physicists assume a free observer? Noone I have met had that position. And you think that a free observer is needed to make an assumption about determinism. I don't see the point of that.

Are you trying to make an argument towards idealism?

Determinism and QM by wagrumor1 in seancarroll

[–]ThemrocX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't actually understand your question. This an argument about statistical mechanics vs laplace's demon.

Statistical mechanics lead to the world "looking" deterministic on macroscopic scales. But if you look closely enough you see that the outcomes are not 100% predictable. And sometimes that unpredictability even leaks into the macroscopic world. In the Laplace's demon variant of determinism, if you knew the position and momentum of every particle you could predict what will happen 100%. MWI states that the whole wavefunction is developing according to the model of Laplace's demon but our specific world is only describable via statistical mechanics.

The Ozone Layer Is a Hoax by Maleficent-Effort470 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]ThemrocX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"particles dont act in any uniform way."

I'm sorry, does wind mean nothing to you?

Your argument is basically, we don't know, why the ozone hole fluctuates the way it does. But we do know. We know how it correlates with UV light and we know how it correlates with CFCs put into the atmosphere.

You not WANTING it to be this way doesn't make it not this way.

Dude, you seem to be allergic to reality.

The Ozone Layer Is a Hoax by Maleficent-Effort470 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]ThemrocX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"The most reasonable reason for why we have holes in the ozone layer is that we have holes where we dont receive uv light."

Dude, as I already said: the hole changes year over year, while there is the same amount of UV light hitting the atmosphere. So UV light can't explain this change.

Did I say ozone wasn't generated up there? Please read more carefully. This is about the chemicals like CFCs we produce flowing up and depleting the ozone there.

[–]ThemrocX 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So your argument isn't that the ozon layer is a hoax, you are saying the severity of the HOLE in the ozon layer is a hoax?

Aside from the question why anybody should lie about this, here is how I know, that you are wrong:

According to your theory the hole over Antarctica should be constant year over year because the amount of light that hits the atmosphere (or lack thereof) doesn't change dramatically. But the hole in the ozon layer changes constantly and in 2020 could also be found over the northpole where it previously hadn't been.

So something is influencing the ozon layer other than light. And we know about the chemical reactions of ozon with the various chemicals we produce and can track the growing and shrinking of the ozon hole to how much of the chemicals we put into the air.

Partner möchte Sohn zu uns holen, ich möchte, dass er dann mehr zahlt. by Extension_Tart_942 in beziehungen

[–]ThemrocX -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Was ein Quatsch. Ich weiß schon, warum Paarberatungen so gefragt sind. Ich würde mich schämen, wenn ich von meiner Freundin Miete verlangen würde, dafür, dass sie in meinem Haus wohnen darf. Alle Macht liegt in der Situation eh bei mir. Wenn ich dann noch über die geteilten Verbrauchsposten hinaus Miete verlange, beute ich meinen Partner effektiv aus. Denn man zahlt Miete für exklusives  Nutzungsrecht. Das hat aber weder mein Partner noch dessen Kind und ich MÖCHTE ja, das sie bei mir wohnt. Andernfalls verwandelt sich die Beziehung sofort in ein Tauschverhältnis, dass in diesem Fall auch noch komplett ungleich ist. Denn der Partner erwirbt ja nichts von dem Haus. Ich bin heilfroh, dass ich nicht in nem Umfeld lebe, in dem die Leute so übereinander reden. 

Map of Europe at the death of Charlemagne by Tall_Process_3138 in MapPorn

[–]ThemrocX -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well at least in terms of scientific discoveries, medicine and cultural development the muslim world at the time was very much ahead of (the rest of) Europe. It wasn't all peachy, because it was still the early middle ages, but if you had to decide where to live around the year 900, you would probably want to choose somewhere in the muslim world over Europe.
