    Who I am
    My name is Tom and I started my RUclips channel, TJump, in order to demonstrate how effective my approach is at debunking arguments for the existence of a God at all levels from casual apologetics to professional philosophers and cosmologists.

    How ironic it is that materialists, who consider their worldview to be the most rational, defend the foundations of that worldview with what is essentially hand-waving sophistry.
    The interviewer just doesn't seem to get the fact that what we call matter is an entirely mental phenomenon. As far as we can ever know, it only exists insofar as it is an object of experience.
    To say that it exists outside of experience is to postulate a completely separate ontological realm. That realm would, by definition, be forever inaccessible to knowledge. It is, therefore, a worldview which ultimately entails an appeal to faith which is exactly what they accuse their critics of.

      @Language and Programming Channel well, as far as I can see, experience is fundamental. It's all we know and that we will ever know. Everything else are concepts and theories deduced from our experiences and therefore secondary.

      @Language and Programming Channel no need to think it believe anything what engine is saying... You can and you are experiencing it for yourself all the time, you believe that you are experiencing an outside world and other people. But go to your experience right now: the room you are in, the chair you are sitting on and ask yourself want that experience is made of. If you stop your mind rushing forward with this ideas and concepts, you will find that all your experiences are made out of sight, sound, sensory-, olfactory- and gustatory impressions that arise in your mind. And then thought comes in and tries to extract meaning out of these impressions and hence the concept of an outside world is formed without you even knowing it that this just happened. It's the (almost) perfect illusion! 😘

      The fact is that we have no way of forming rational beliefs about the properties of the fundamental nature of reality- period.

      And computers do NOT produce images; they produce pixelated paterns on a screen that humans experience as images in their consciousness. To the computer, they are just electronical produced patterns. Just as a CD beying played in a computer doesn’t produce music; it produces vibrations in the air that are experienced as music in a human listener’s consciousness. Its amazing how hard it is for even intelligent people who are so steeped in materialism to see the obvious.

    The interviewer (as smart and quick on his toes as he is) seems not to understand there is a hard problem in consciousness. How can you equate the hard problem of consciousness (experiential states arising from inanimate material) to bricks and a wall?
    Consciousness emerging from inanimate matter is an appeal to magic. Inanimate bricks building an inanimate wall is not an equivalent problem.

    • @bertthompson4748
      @bertthompson4748 2 года назад +4

      He does. He just thinks its an as yet not understood physical process because thats all we've ever experienced. We have matter which doesnt have the property of consciousness but enough matter produces consciousness.
      In much the same way bricks dont have the property of wall but enough bricks create a wall or hydrogen doesn't have the property of fusion but enough hydrogen creates a sun which has fusion.
      Its the composition division fallacy

    Around 38:00 Kastrup says that there would be nothing like to be a rock or a silicon AI because the instances we know have to do with metabolism. But why is there something like to be the entire inanimate universe apart from dissociated alters then? It would be just the totality of all rocks, silicon, stars, etc. It would not be metabolism. Why arbitrarily assume that for the entire universe? Take it to its logical conclusion, and you have consciousness only in the case of metabolism, so he cannot have the grounding consciousness which is crucial to his view. He is plainly inconsistent.

    Thought will not give you _______,. Let’s play above the field of thought we’ll find out if only consciousness knows it self or you apart from it. At the level of this conversation the observer is the assessment of only that which you see and know: the knowing aspect of consciousness itself can not be defined or labeled. Both of you love the sound of your own voices knowing that this only furthers you from it.
