hammegk said:Actually, as wraith is using the term
TLOP = terrain of universe.
Math & physics are just the map.
If you define it to mean the opposite, you will reach other conclusions.
Well, since you've made no arguments outside of "says you", there really isn't anything for me to respond to.wraith said:nothing new
CWL said:Ok. So you take orders from "TLOP". Do you take orders from anything else which is inanimate? Did TLOP give you some time off today so that you could post on this board?
TLOP = a description of the properties and behaviour of energy and matter. These properties could be said to define energy and matter in the same way as walls define a room - in the same way that "red", "juicy", "tasty" and "fruitlike" define an apple.
Can you see why it is not relevant to talk about "obeying" or "disobeying"? That is just a semantic construct which Franko probably has concocted based on the circumstance that we happen to call our description of the properties of the Universe "the 'laws' of physics" - which is slightly misleading since they are not "laws" at all. The description could just as well have been called "the description of the properties of stuff" or "description of how things tend to behave".
Pardon my French, Wraithy but I do not offer a rodent's behind for what the LD says. I am concerned with tangible evidence.
I am happy you at least agree that "consciousness does come from matter". When you say "just not in the sense that you think matter is", what do you mean and where is the evidence for your assertion?
What actual observations lead you (or the "LD") to assume whatever it is that you believe?
The Almighty Syllogism and "TLOP > YOU" simply doesn't do the trick. There must be more.
Q-Source said:wraith: Source, youre saying that man created TLOP.
Source: YES!
YES!
YES!
wraith: How did mountains form if there wasnt man around to "create" TLOP?!
Source: Mountains formed BEFORE men "created" TLOP.
Universe= terrain
TLOP= map
How many times do you want me to repeat that?
TLOP are a mathematical description of how the Universe behaves. Get a dictionary.
I give up with you.![]()
Q-Source said:Don't give him a hand. He has no clue what he is talking about. I have been trying to force him to define what he understands by "TLOP" and "Universe" (its nature), but as you can see from his responses he has no clue.

If you ever get a counter argument, let me know.

Just waiting for you to actually refute one of my points.
Ya know, Wraith, I really do appreciate that you have been posting without ad hominems (or at least not major ones) and I am also glad that you are keeping a good sense of humor. Those things are very important for making people want to talk to you.wraith said:lol Churchy

But as Upchurch points out, until you actually address the points that others raise, rather than giving a flippant reply (like above), making a straw man, or relying on a non-sequitur, then you can never be taken seriously. I suspect that is not important to you. Perhaps you just enjoy this prolonged chain-yanking.
Well fine and good, if it amuses you.
Just don't cling to the delusion that you are actually making sense to anyone.
If you ever decide to put down your toys and actually debate, I think you could do pretty well. You don't seem to be so much dumb as stubborn.
I'll keep an eye out for you to see if you mature a bit, but for now, I'll let you go back to your games. Just remember, they're no substitute for a real life.

CWL said:I am afraid I must agree with Tricky, Wraith. You rarely address people's points, if at all. Instead you merely state and restate your position. Well, we've in fact all heard it by now. It is time for you to present some arguments for your position. [/B]
One prime example is the objection to "TLOP > YOU > CAR" which has been raised by several posters on this board (such as Upchurch, Tricky and myself).
The objection is simple. In order for the jingle to prove that "TLOP" is conscious (let's forget for a while that your view of what TLOP actually is, is rather confused) it has been pointed out to you, on an almost infinite number of occasions, that it must be proven that the proposition "If A controls B, A is always more conscious than B" is true.
What have you done to prove that this proposition is true? Do you in fact have any argument besides: "You don't obey TLOP ?!?"?
My dogs have me well trained. They scratch the back door and I open it up for them. Also, I nearly slipped on a bar of soap once.wraith said:
When was the las time that you were controlled by an animal or by a bar of soap?![]()
You don't accept evidence, Wraith. Correlations are evidence. What do you want for evidence? You want logic? Okay, then I give you logic.wraith said:Arguments? Ive presented my arguments.
I havnt heard ANY to support that matter creates consciousness. Except for correlations, which you guys seem to think that it's evidence against what I have been saying.
It's simply not the case. If you "beg to differ" then LETS HEAR IT!
Can you show us some evidence? You have already thrown out both correlations and logic as evidence, so let us hear what you have to support this. Magic perhaps?wraith said:TLOP controls everything in this Universe. Even Life, from the single celled to us. The consciousness with a higher degree of awareness (more complex) tend to control the consciousness with a weaker degree of awareness (less complex).
