Re: Observations in the realm of thoughts
The neurons may be the mechanics of a persons feeling but that is irrelevant to the ideal. Something causes those particular neurons to fire as well.

Re: Dualism.......?
The ideals seem to be causeless but not random. And I never claimed that either religion or philosophy provide answers beyond what questions to ask.

Re: Observations in the realm of thoughts
And as I said, I am not at all sure and in fact believe that such things do not require my brain to exist.

Re: Observations in the realm of thoughts
Sure. But I also find that totally irrelevant and unimportant to the issue.

Re: Observations in the realm of thoughts
Why would I? I believe they are real. Is that not sufficient?

Re: Observations in the realm of thoughts
Perhaps that is true for you. If so I am sorry.

Re: dualism, you could have said
I have never denied that I am a dualist. I figured, perhaps wrongly, that over the years you might have noticed. Sorry.

Re: Dualism.......?
I did not say there was an ideal beauty but rather there was the ideal beauty.

Re: Observations in the realm of thoughts
A counterfeit, no matter how closely it copies the real thing, is still a counterfeit.

Re: Observations in the realm of thoughts
I'm not sure I could tell the difference but of course that is irrelevant to the fact that one is not the original.

No, after long effort, I don't think you are capable of understanding what I mean.

Re: Dualism.......?
That's fine. There are several audiences, the person you actually respond to and the wider audience that reads the thread.

Re: Observations in the realm of thoughts
One is the original. The other is not.
