They obviously do.

You're confusing arbitrary systems of measurement with objective physical attributes.

Son of Dark wrote:Possibly, but I still cannot agree that their is no difference between an organism and idle object, you elaborate on the fact of the 'conscious' level differs, but I think the more relevant point you should be pursuing is the fact that 'oh, the rust occurred because it was there, was always going to happen thus it was fate', comparing to a human 'his emotions said that, and his environment told his instincts to do this, so his brain chose that, making it fate'.
I did pursue that point, what are you wanting me to say? Your request seems unfinished.
Son of Dark wrote:I could ask you the same thing, why have you come to that conclusion? You're just disagreeing with my point and bringing up your own without explaining.
I've given lengthy explanations, dedicated whole posts and paragraphs to it, that's what all of that was. Besides, I've come to the conclusion because it's essentially logical, and so far these theories have been proven to be true in all cases; most of what I've said when it comes to consciousness being developed relative to brain complexity are the kinds of things you learn in first-year biology, and if you want to deny their applicability then that's your decision.

I'm still curious as to what you believe the stark difference is between a living and non-living object; can you tell me what the difference is that so directly separates the two? Bear in mind, a division between the two given that living and non-living objects share similar materials and properties has to be manually thought up and explained, there was no logical divider there to begin with. What is the difference you claim there to be?
Son of Dark wrote:Another way to put it would be if there even is anything we're up against. You see, no-one knows the purpose of fate, existence is only present because of purpose, and we all know that without purpose, nothing would exist.
Either that really doesn't make sense, or I'm not fully understanding what you're meaning. Nothing needs a purpose to exist, as 'purpose' is yet another one of those fake terms that grows off of the notion of free will.
Son of Dark wrote:but as a whole you do have one.
Where did you get this information?
Son of Dark wrote:but then if I'm asked to simply pick up the blue can or the green one, and I choose one, how is that 'fate' choosing it?
Obviously something processed, something in you reacted to external or internal stimuli that eventually made you pick the one you did. Quite simple.
Son of Dark wrote:regardless of favored color or any other factor, and just pick one randomly, what's the point of that being 'fate', why not just me choosing to pick it, and think about it Adsolution, if it's really "our thoughts, emotions, experience of consciousness and instinct that led us to that choice, so fate!" are you saying all those things were not our own?
Indeed, they are not, because without the existence of entities, there isn't a such thing as something being 'entirely our own.' All matter that inhabits an isolated system - in this case our Universe - is just as susceptible to influence as the next piece of matter; your individual thoughts aren't somehow shielded from this, ceasing to play by the rules of the rest of the Universe.
Son of Dark wrote:You cannot explain whether fate has a purpose or not, however evidently I have...
You have? I'm a very logical person, as deep down, that's the basis of everything: logic. Your statements of how things supposedly are - the notion of pure free will included - don't make any sense whatsoever.

If you have a piece of evidence to back up anything you're saying, then by all means do share. All I'm doing is relaying quite common knowledge among students to counter your bafflingly uneducated remarks. It's as if you're doing whatever you can, making it up as you go, trying to find other ways of proving an impossible point. You try to state that your mind is somehow free from the effects of… well, logic. The only way this is possible is through the existence of entities, which you and I both agree do not exist.


Son of Dark wrote:You say it's all our thoughts and consciousness that lead to what we do so that was always going to happen so fate exists, well in that way of course it does Adsolution,
Everything we do is a result of a sequence of complicated physical processes and reactions, each minute process being along the lines of say, metal reacting by rusting in the rain. Consciousness is widely known as a phenomenon and we don't know yet why it exists, but it is a direct result of these bunched physical processes. All we are doing is observing the reactions going on within our own mind, and while every emotion we feel is genuine, it is once again the cause of a physical reaction, as is every single thing we and our bodies do. The Universe is just one bit clump of matter, and we're simply tightly grouped matter within that clump.
Son of Dark wrote:but how can you be so blind?
Blind to what? You aren't telling me what I'm blind to.
Son of Dark wrote:Are my thoughts not my own? What I think and feel is me, personal and individual, the given situation and environment shaped things so fate predicts the reaction, but it was me all along, once again resulting in the fact that fate knows OUR choices, once again proving that fate has no purpose whatsoever and therefore has no reason to exist in the first place
You're letting your emotions get in the way of logic. No matter how strongly you feel about your emotions somehow granting you the impossible notion of free will and genuine, entity-like feelings, they don't, but it is about as good a simulator as physically possible.

It literally makes no sense - and not only the way in which it would happen, but the concept you're describing doesn't make physical sense either. Where are you getting all your information from aside from what you 'feel' or 'think' is true? Logic really is the only mastr raec.




I should probably stop creating these lengthy replies, as it seems nothing will get through to you; you're too lost within your own head to see what's right in front of you. At least it's mediocre typing practice.

Half way reading your post I was also thinking to myself that I really can't keep up posting lectures, no I am not making these points up as I go along, and your constant reference to logic is aggravating as I also believe in logic completely, I also believe my theories to be logical and I do not see why you see differently. Yes your points are based on evidence and science, fine.

And why do quote things such as "are you blind" maybe if you quoted the whole thing you'd understanding what I'm implying you were blind to. As for your "difference" between living and non-living objects, I will imply again that how you can be blind to that difference, hmmm let's see, there is no consciousness whatsoever in a box however there is in a human, and many other factors.

Are you really sure that "nothing needs a purpose to exist" Adsolution, why don't you take a look around you and tell me one thing that is present without a reason for it being there. Shall I now say that "oh, you're emotions are overwhelming logic" as well?

Adsolution, you also quote me
"You cannot explain whether fate has a purpose or not, however evidently I have..."
In all your "common knowledge amongst students" you still do not explain if fate has a purpose, and I have, WITH evidence
I mean the thought process delves from our experience and personality, so it's all us, leading US to choose it, never mind if it "was fate", it was our choice that made it fate, which explains how we control fate, also explaining how there is no point of it existing
I can't see how my argument is "uneducated" seeing as I have indeed explained myself where as you have not in all your cases.


I could easily say "you make uneducated points saying nothing needs a purpose to exist", because look around your room, even atoms, air, this that and the other, they're ALL HERE FOR A REASON, or are they not?

You can attempt to counter all these "uneducated and 'unexplained'" points, well go ahead, I've said my piece,

IMPORTANT CRAP BELOW

At the end of the day, I don't want our beliefs on fate to cause us to be unfriendly, and you're right, you're lectures, (some stuff you say is explained and I've acknowledged your information) won't change my view on the matter, we are only human

Did you ever went to school and had a subject called Physics, or science (depending what country you are)?

Honestly I share Son of Dark's opinion. Time has no physical body. Time is time and doesn't belong to space. Time&Space.

That's my opinion.

Yes I did, but I never understand what "time-space" was and didn't even believe in it. Bare in mind that sometimes it's what's practical

I really didn't want to get involved with this, mainly because SoD so far hasn't mananged to be coherent, but I just couldn't resist. :P

That used to be my favourite Class of them all back in High School days. Why? Because it used to put me to good sleep that I was lacking every night.

A Levels? Sixth Form? Whereabouts are you studying, Son of Dark? Sounds like you're in the British Regions.
