Can you define material properties without consciousness observation? How would you quantify with out observation? Not only empirically but personally?

This is concerning, but the examples they gave were all from couples where the man contributed most of their combined wealth, AFAIK, might that not be the reason? Is there an example where the wife contributed most of the combined wealth?

Very interesting. Reminds me a lot of The Idea of the World by Bernardo Kastrup, who also argues that the basic building blocks of existence is consciousness, and that idealism is a better model for the all.

Enlightenment, in the Buddhist definition is not the abandonment of morality, it follows its perfection. Thats why monks are required to be celibate. From the second link above; "Abandoning uncelibacy, he lives a celibate life, aloof,

Earlier this month I took my work MBP in for a recall for both the HDD and keyboard(I received an email from Apple notifying me about this). The "geniuses" "checked" their system and told me there is no recall and I&#x27

Not sure how their system works, but I set my name on TrueCaller and that's how it displays to others. I suppose of all my friends changed my name on their apps to Bozo, it would default to Bozo then. Who knows.

All I'm suggesting is that if a particular user is concerned about their safety, I would suggest they take steps to insure it. But if one wants to push for regulation to prevent the emergence of apps like TrueCaller, then perhaps we ca

True, but for edgecases with no alternative means of contact, there could be other simple solutions. In the articles instance, Chloe could in the future register that sim, and then immediately tag it as Chloe Sullivan on TrueCaller(or whate

I find TrueCaller very usefull. I used to get sooo many sales and robo-calls a day that I seriously considered just getting rid of my phone. Now they get automatically blocked or I can just put them on a profile that they ring silently and

Interesting comment, seeing as most of the other comments to this post takes the opposite position; they're implying being wrong about one thing makes one wrong about everything.

What interests me is the possibility of human civilizations between the Eemian and last glacial maximum. Any evidence of civilization from that period would either be hella deep under the sea or obliterated by glacial expansion and retreat.
