The Primary Mind

@EPallazo69140 @SaratogaArtist What’s it like believing in things that don’t exist in objective reality?

@ThePrimaryMind @SaratogaArtist Sure, like you. As if you never saw a photo of a flying saucer, right? lol Are they pinatas filled with candy? lol The Pentagon declassification of military video evidence happened in 2017. Aww, don't be sad, snowflake. The conversation and the situation has moved beyond you.

If Disclosure was good news, they'd have told you 60 years ago.

@EPallazo69140 @SaratogaArtist It’s shocking what people can be convinced into believing

@ThePrimaryMind @SaratogaArtist Who's assuming? Chris? lol no. Chris knows exactly what he's talking about, kids. Chris and his brother had more alien contact than anyone I ever heard of, and going back farther than Travis Walton or Whitley Strieber. In fact their mother was taken before Betty and Barney Hill.

@Timcast Yikes, that’s desperation Because nothing says help me like running to a cult for assurance

I am a lapsed Catholic. I dont consider myself Christian Recent events in the world have me very worried and considering going back to Church

@JoshuaLWatson You may be a philosopher or narcissist or both. Because the only thing you needed to state was: “we should sometimes revise our beliefs” But nooooo

i am a bayesian confirmation theorist in the sense that i think we should sometimes revise our beliefs

@rabbriansamuel Absolute nonsense!

The atonement we receive through accepting the death of Jesus cleanses us from sin so perfectly that God Himself makes His dwelling within us. No other faith system affords us that level of intimacy with God.

OMG! Philosophy is comprised of low IQ individuals. THERE IS NO HARD PROBLEM!!! If we talk about subjective sensory experience (qualia) in functional terms, the "hard problem" begins to look like a special case of sensorimotor learning. If you frame qualia as: "The informationally rich, differentiable sensory signals that guide adaptive control." ..then suddenly: qualia have a functional role they fit inside a feedback-control architecture they become computable and measurable and the line between "subjective experience" and "sensorimotor feedback" disappears.

THE HARD PROBLEM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: MARY’S ROOM THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: Do we have phenomenal qualia? Is experience just representative knowledge? And what does it mean for the hard problem?

Nash described it using terminology he believed, just as Ramanujan described it via gods. Both men were steeped in their studies and were cognitively sensitive to subtle information their subconscious was providing. If you spend an inordinate amount of time focused on a single subject, and can ignore what everyone before you believes to be true, you too can see what others have missed.

The late Harvard mathematician George Mackey to the late mathematical genius John Forbes Nash, Jr. : "How could you, a mathematician, a man devoted to reason and logical proof… how could you believe that extraterrestrials are sending you messages?" Nash's response: "Because the ideas I had about supernatural beings came to me the same way that my mathematical ideas did. So I took them seriously.” Most people know about Nash's mental health struggles. But I can't help to think of his response as a type of download experience at the same time. Sounds like there is a fine line between the source of our insights and our madness. Quote from Nasar's A Beautiful Mind

@DrFrankTurek It begins with a difficult truth about cognitive agency. Our cognitive minds evolved to veto socially unacceptable subconscious impulses.

How do we fix a world filled with murder, rape, betrayal, sexual exploitation, pornography, abortion, terrorism, child abuse, racism, and countless other evils? There will be no solutions unless we are honest about their underlying causes.

@TonySobrado With sincerity, you should seek mental health counseling. Philosophy is a cult

@ThePrimaryMind That step 1 or 2? As you also have to define physicalism😀

THE HARD PROBLEM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: Is Identity Theory compatible with both physical brain states and consciousness itself? For those seeking to preserve both physicalism and consciousness—without eliminativism or ontological contradictions—Professor Brian McLaughlin’s refined Identity Theory offers a promising route. I explore this with him in my forthcoming piece on the hard problem of consciousness for The Montreal Review. @michaelpollan @anilkseth @Plinz @IAI_TV @MiTiBennett @EarlMellick @davideagleman @sapinker @Philip_Goff @Mark_Solms @KarlFristonNews @keithfankish Snippet of this is below:

@TonySobrado First step: Define “consciousness”

So you must do one of the following: -Endorse Illusionism — the view that consciousness is an illusion created by the brain -Endorse Eliminativism — the view that our common‑sense ideas about the mind are mistaken and should be discarded Endorse Physical Realization — the view that mental states are fully realized by physical processes in the brain Which one?

@skdh 100% Accurate

i think people are drawn to conspiracy theories because that way they get to make sense of a world that just doesn't make sense

@cswarketatora @DRMSHPhD What do you think “salvation” means?

@ThePrimaryMind @DRMSHPhD Not required for salvation tho

Baptism in New Testament theology is a loyalty oath, a public avowal of who is on the Lord's side.

@JosiahForYeshua You have no idea. Stick to your day job

I scorn conspiracy theories. I do so for a very simple biblical reason: “BY THE MOUTH OF TWO WITNESSES, OR THREE, EVERY WORD WILL STAND.” Matthew 18:16 (MJLT), quoting Deuteronomy 19:15 Our faith itself is built on the testimony of witnesses (John 19:35 & 21:24, Acts 1:8 & 2:32, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8). I firmly believe that it is anti-biblical to assume that the testimony of numerous people is manufactured. To be clear, I’m talking about matters of fact, not matters of opinion. There can definitely be a consensus of opinion that is wrong; but when there are multiple witnesses to corroborate an event or factual observation, it is unhealthy and ungodly to assume a conspiratorial fabrication. False witnesses do exist, but the clear biblical precedent is that when multiple witnesses agree, we must assume that their testimony is truthful. This pattern was established in the Torah of Moses, and was then repeated by Yeshua (Jesus), Paul, and other biblical authors. There must be an overwhelming preponderance of solid evidence and testimony from even more witnesses before we should be willing to consider the existence of a conspiracy. So when the 12 people who set foot on the moon bring back videographic and mineralogical evidence—as well as their own eyewitness testimony—I believe that evidence and testimony, and I affirm that the earth is round and the moon landings are real. I will never question that based on circumstantial evidence—it would take the testimony of dozens of firsthand witnesses who saw the fake moon landings being filmed, among other things. No amount of circumstantial evidence would sway my belief on this concrete fact. And this applies to other conspiracy theories as well: blaming the CIA or Mossad for 9/11, blaming TPUSA or Israel for assassinating Charlie Kirk, or even denying the murder of 6 million Jews in the Nazi Holocaust. Beware of conspiracism. Some conspiracy theories are relatively benign, others are extremely dangerous and disgusting, but all of them have in common an inherent distrust of fact and eyewitness testimony. It rots the brain, distorts our perception of reality, and undermines our ability to even ascertain what truth is—because in the conspiracist mindset, anything and everything could be a lie. We shouldn’t be suckers who believe everything we hear, but we also shouldn’t go to the opposite extreme and assume conspiracies whenever we hear a “narrative” that’s backed up by evidence and witnesses. Especially for us as believers in Messiah, if we can’t even believe what our own eyes and others’ eyes have seen, then how can we believe in God whom we haven’t seen (cf. 1 John 4:20)?

@jakobe291 The idea that salvation is a Jewish objective is accurate. However, what do you think salvation is? And if you have an opinion about it that doesn’t include the answer to the atonement of Christ, you’re surely wrong

Christ says salvation "is from the Jews" (John 4:22) The Gospel is the fulfillment of the covenants God made with Israel, not a replacement of them

@TSOEfilm Alex, I’ll take “stupid things philosophers ask”, for 1,000

Science points to a beginning. So here’s the bigger question: Can something come from nothing? The Story of Everything. 4/30.

The subconscious mind as an entity unto itself, is a two thousand year old issue. It has access to evolutionary biological adaptations that exist outside of our conscious cognitive awareness. Did you really think the past few years of Avatar, Telepathy Tapes, PLUR1BUS, and the upcoming Disclosure Day aren’t a convergence? Of course they are! And don’t worry about “cognitive dissonance”, that’s going to disappear when tangible physical evidence is revealed

Is the real battlefield Consciousness itself? When does Cognitive Dissonance stop being warfare… and start being awakening? Thoughts 🤔

@profntwright You’d say anything for money

The biblical story from Genesis to Revelation is a great drama, a great saga, a play written by the living God and staged in his wonderful creation; and in liturgy, whether sacramental or not, we become for a moment not only spectators of this play but also willing participants in it. ntwrightpage.com/2016/04/05/fre…

@KateXGate “Luc Montagnier”? The same guy who said HIV becomes AIDS, without any real scientific evidence?

We’ve been treating DNA like storage. What if it’s closer to a receiver? Luc Montagnier’s work suggested sequence-specific EM signals can persist without the molecule— and rebuild the structure elsewhere. ⸻ Not just biochemical code. A frequency-based blueprint. Meaning: Life may be written in frequency— not just chemistry. ⸻ DNA isn’t the origin. It’s the interface. And matter assembles along permitted informational pathways.
