We might become Ford bros tomorrow Nathan the Machinist

Cool man

Just remember

You need two

And also a car hauler trailer with a winch.

It's feeling like Socrates making a guest appearance on the Dr. Phil show here today.

Wait until Diogenes shows up with some sarcastic commentary.

I agree with most of this parental wisdom, with the exception that rather than New Balance I wish someone had told me about thin zero drop shoes earlier

I’ll check them out

However, the fact that you cannot imagine the unimaginable is a serious issue for physicalists.

That's just a truism, how is it a problem? Are you saying reality is restricted to what you can imagine? I don't see how you could prove that.

So to are discoveries suggesting that a single quark occupies various spaces simultaneously. An idealist can IMAGINE this as a mental entity but a phisicalist cannot replicate it.

A wave occupies various spaces simultaneously. It's not that hard to grasp, and it's laughable to say that physicalists cannot "replicate" a fact of physics. You can imagine anything as a mental entity, that doesn't explain anything that physics didn't already tell you.

An individual not being able to see something, with or without glasses, doesn't cause it not to exist.

And an individual not being able to experience something doesn't cause it not to exist either. That's the analogy.

It is the observation by A mind that causes it to persist (as the idealist would say), not that EVERY mind must observe it.

I didn't say all glasses have to observe it, just A pair of glasses. The glasses of God, if you will.

Again, you have skipped over the basis of his contention: can you imagine the unimagined?

By definition, no. So what? That's not what you initially stated. You stated that you can't imagine something independent of mind. I can, a rock independent of mind. The rock can simply exist in its own universe without a mind. What's conceptually wrong with this? Ah that you need a mind to imagine this. But that doesn't change anything about the concept, anymore than needing glasses to see changes the thing you're looking at.

Nothing he claims undercuts discoveries in science.

Of course not, it just takes whatever facts science discovers without mind having anything to do with it and adding mind to it

In fact I have spoken to physicists who have confirmed behaviors in light that are somehow dependent on observation

Yes, but "observation" in physics is an interaction in which information is generated, such as a photographic plate that light has reacted with. It has nothing to do with a mind or observer in the colloquial sense.

There is a reason people are still spilling ink on this argument on both sides of this argument.

There are a lot of silly beliefs that have persisted for a long time.

JJ_Colt45 You getting bad weather? Looks like a bad tornado is headed out your way.

We aren't getting the real bad stuff yet, but they've had several tornados just west of here. We are under a tornado warning still.

Stay safe bro. And anyone else in the area.

Hang in there, JJ. Make sure you have lots of booze in the root cellar.

It looks the worst may just miss us, but hopefully it all starts loosing steam soon and its just property damage where it has hit hard.

Will do E! If they have to dig me out they may hear me singing as I crack another open.

Let's get back to the talk show we're usually watching.

JER-RY! JER-RY! JER-RY!

Dibs on knives and guns.

If you can find em you can have em ... lol. You'll just have to fight Toto and the flying monkeys!

You ever get those Yokos on your truck? I tried some Nittos out this go ‘round and I think I want to go back with the Yokos next time.

 

[Blues]

That's cold, Jonny. Cold.

LOL.

 

[91bravo]

LOL.

JJ knows what’s up. We go way back. On the flip side of that coin, he would have dibs on my knives and guns too!

Yeah I'm running the Yokos now. I just switched from my winter tires and put those back on a couple week ago. For M/T tires they are about as good as I've had ... well any mud tires that still are drivable on pavement anyway.
