I have no idea what you're proposing. That said, you can't bridge the gap between materialism and idealism. One is real. The other is imaginary. Philosophical idealism is the academic equivalent of navel gazing.

Can't decide whether to report this for flooding, spamming, or general gibberishness that would be an off-topic derail if it paid nodding acquaintance to the topic in the first place.

Gregory, can you explain your idea like I'm five years old?

 

[8enotto]

Also, a detailed explanation of how to verify a " past incarnation " in a scientific way.

Then why if you were Comte in a past incarnation that you would regard your own work in the theory as if it wasn't yours.

I was Aristuppes or maybe Caligula.

Yes, please. Right now he's explaining it like *he* is five years old. You know, that rambling, disjointed, semi-coherent stream of consciousness, where each sentence is started before the poor child has figured out where it will end.

Do you know who said, "I am Spartacus!" in the movie?

Dammit.

By the time everyone else reveals thier past lives I will be stuck with Clifford the big red dog.

I don't see any reconciliation between materialism and idealism in the linked text. Just a proposed name for what such a reconciliation might be called (ideomaterialism). That's not the hard part, you know.

I was a five-year-old in a past life. Specifically, my own past life.

The proper response when somebody makes claims about their past lives is: "Surely, you can't be serious. But I did love you in Steel Magnolias."

I am serious. But don't call me Shirley.

I was a five year old!

And so was my wife.

In all my previous lives I died in infancy of diseases that are, for now, easily preventable. My names were lost to time.

Except for that time I was Elvis.
