Sorry, but... what? |

To begin, anyone who does not know what ontology "is" should wiki it. |

"I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it.”
Albert Einstein
you...are...mad. |

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
Universal dream symbolism... that's what I read in this. |
|
Ahhh... so it's more along the lines of "a man dreams he is a butterfly... or is a butterfly dreaming he is a man?" sort of thing? |
|
*polite and quiet lol* |

Imagination is a wonderful thing, is it not? |

An ontology would take too much time. Probably infinity, in fact. |

Perhaps not the "usual" rules. Not mechanics. Not mere chemistry. |

It's been theorized that the seeming randomness is dreams is actually governed by internal schemata. Understandably, this extends to seemingly random conscious thoughts as well. |

I mean the sort of biological computational schema for consciousness sketched by Chris King. |

Ah, the core of the matter. I disagree that dreams are valid counterexamples to the hypothesis that consciousness is strictly local due to the fact that lucid dreaming exists, the fact that multiple dimensions are only postulated by unproven theories, and the fact that it is thus far not known whether or not the brain composed of neurons made of multiple molecules working in unison is capable of reading information propagating on subatomic levels. |

You say "no"! Ok. If you say so. That's it? Don't bother to explain. Search. ASK. Don't bother to address what I explain. Easy! |

Okay... what? It would really help if you could be a little more clear with what you are typing. And if that "little catch" means what I think it does, then you want me to accept everything I have not considered. |

No. Your lack of a basis for disagreeing makes you ignorant. Your failure to question yourself and to engage with modern science makes you ignorant. And your belief that your denial of scientifically plausible POSSIBILITY requires no basis... makes you ignorant. |

There's a reason quantum mechanics and special relativity are so widespread. They've been proven over and over to be accurate. If your quantum model is so accurate, then why is determinism vs. duality still debated? |
|
Ok. We have as much evidence for the possibility of lizardmen as quantum brain effects? Same thing? Maybe. |

I can't prove there are no lizardmen. I don't deny them because I am afraid of them. I deny them because I have nothing in front of me besides anecdotal stories that they exist, along with scans and probes that say the center of the Earth is liquid and incredibly hot, and not hollow. |

198.726% of people will not realize that this percentage is impossible given what we are measuring. If you enjoy eating Monterey Jack cheese, put this in your sig and add 3^4i to the percentage listed.
I cut my teeth on logic, not empiricism, back in the day. |
