Electricity creates consciousness ~~~ Absolute refuted by science and philosophy balderdash! Too ignorant from too many directions that it is impossible to know where to start. There are many well educated fools. The One Consciousness/Mind is primary and essentially all that exists. 'Electricity' creating ('creation/causality' is IMPOSSIBLE!) Consciousness? Is this guy hallucinating?

heh... how can motion, or anything else 'exist' if there is no time for it to do so? ;)

The theory of 'free-will/choice' fails scientifically and philosophically. 1) Free-will/choice implies making a moment 'otherwise'; no moment in Universal existence can ever be 'otherwise'. 2) Another reason is that as all is One, for you to have 'free-will' to change the moment to have a cheeseburger, you would have to alter the entire Perfectly Balanced One Universe! To actually believe in free-will/choice' is a symptomatic God Complex! Illness. 3) 'Time' and motion and dimension are illusions, and 'free-will' is the ego's way of admitting ignorance of that reality. Reality is Holistic, not linear; "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Holistic. Eternal doesn't mean all the moments strung together like a string of popcorn, eternal means NO 'time'! No time to exist! Bye!

@ondrejsaly749 "Not at all, these are naturalistic views, not religious. You seem to be rather angry while writing your opinions on agency (1) or eastern-spiritual claims (2). " ~~~ Hogwash. And as you offered nothing in refutation to anything that I wrote, I'll leave this nonsense as I find it... hogwash. Belief in free-will/choice is a pathological God Complex. I can understand why the (your) ego has a hard time seeing through the delusion.

Consciousness and gravity are closely related, starting with that both interact with matter only. ~~~ Nope.

Don't be silly, you take a dump when you must! No choice in the matter!

@steveperryman8102 It all seems to work out. It even worked out when I was a baby, and will always 'work out'. That's called Karma. ;)

@steveperryman8102 If you can decide when you defecate, ~~~ Just because you believe/think that you do doesn't mean that you do. Perhaps the ego delights in such vanity? which we nearly all can to a point, ~~~ That is a fallacious assumption. It 'feels' like you do, that's all. I would argue that is the very definition of free will :) ~~~ Then it utterly fails. ;)

@steveperryman8102 Free will is an emergent property from the complex interplay of deterministic forces. ~~~ Determinism fails, so... So does your 'free-will'.

Einstein said that time is a persistent illusion. It is. If this guy thinks that time is an essential feature of reality he is a clueless crackpot trying to make a name from bashing those whose shoulders he is unfit upon which to stand! ;) "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!!

Consciousness pre-dates life ~~~ Right away I see error! Not any moment 'pre/post'-dates anything else. As any (real) philosopher and scientist knows is that 'time' is an illusion! For these folks to base their theories on the 'inherent' existence of 'time' shows me their ... capabilities. "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Not linear but Holistic! Every moment of Universal existence is simultaneous! "Life' and 'death' are simply dualistic illusions of thought, the same place dualistic illusions of 'time' exist (mortality). This is Reality as I see it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind/Memory/concepts (the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived, therefore an 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego! 'Life' because I think 'life'.

Can physics ever get to the truth? ~~~ "Truth" is the all-inclusive Set! Physics is a subset. Thus physics can only "get to" the bit of Truth that it occupies. "Logic will get you from A to Z; Imagination will get you everywhere!" - Albert Einstein

'Disorder'; "Every kind of partial and transitory disequilibrium ('disorder') must perforce contribute towards the great equilibrium (balance/order) of the whole.." - Rene' Guenon 'Evolution'; A great theory predicated on illusions, and not understanding that 'time' is an illusion. Reality is not linear/dualistic but holistic, all moments of existence existing simultaneously, at once; non-dual, The Singularity! So nothing actually 'changes', much less 'evolves'. And there is no 'begins' or 'ends' of anything, much less Consciousness. 'Consciousness' is that which perceives. 'Knowledge' (Mind/Truth) is that which is perceived. No more, no less, no conditions. All inclusive. This is Reality as I perceive it; 1) All that exists is One Consciousness/Mind ('God' if you like...). Beyond this not anything else exists. 2) We are all unique momentary Perspectives (Souls) comprising the One Consciousness. 3) That which we, collectively, 'perceive/reflect' (are Conscious of) is Mind (memory/concepts; the little bit before us at the moment). "God cannot know himself but by me!" - Meister Eckhart (the 'why'!) The very simple truth that "I think, therefor YOU are!" proves that Descartes' initial search for an indisputable autonomous 'self' (or any 'things-in-themselves') had failed. He never crawled from the Pit of duality with his (in)famous "Cogito..."! Thus the foundation of his (and 'western) philosophy' fails, thus... 'hard problems'. Until the update. The critically updated version of the 'Cogito' is; "Thoughts are perceived/appear, therefore an apparent 'I' to think 'I am'!" Thought = Ego = Duality = illusion! 'Duality' is the illusions of 'thought', which is Ego. Mortals believe (identify with) these illusions. Immortals do not. Pit transcended! All that is perceived as 'Reality'(the entire Universe, ever, all-inclusive), is the 'Hologram' of the One Mind as perceived by the One Consciousness in One all-inclusive moment. This is The Singularity, non-duality, and it is perceived in no time, one single Planck moment. All existence, Universal 'Self Knowledge' in a single moment! "The Laws of Nature are not rules controlling the metamorphosis of what is, into what will be (ie; Karma, reincarnation, linear time...). They are descriptions of patterns that exist, all at once... " - Genius; the Life and Science of Richard Feynman All 'eternity' at once; Here! Now!! Holistic. Eternal doesn't mean all the moments strung together like a string of popcorn, eternal means NO 'time'! No time to exist! 'God's' complete Self Knowledge occurring in one timeless moment! Talk about a 'Big Bang!!'!! Parenthetically, there could never have been an original literal Big Bang event as a 'Bang' is sound and sound requires air to be perceived, to exist.

'Space/dimension' is the same illusion as 'time', from another perspective. Same thing; spacetime.

True! ;)
