I wouldn't say unfortunately, it's still imminently fascinating 😁

I think the anthropic principle works fine with a multiverse/cyclical universe hypothesis. I'm just trying to see if there is a somewhat more satisfactory answer. I have a (very) broad understanding but am looking for some specifics.

@jpsastro.bsky.social would you have the time and/or inclination to answer a question I have in relation to inflationary cosmology? More specifically in relation to the process by which the values of the universal constants get their values?

I can't believe Dil Wickremasinghecould spout such #transphobic bigotry while being the host of a supposedly #LGBTQ+ focused radio show.

What do you think,? Do all women go through menopause?

Can the #WritingCommunity possibly help me here?

I'm looking for an academic editor (or writer) to edit /rewrite an academic paper for me (paid of course) in case anyone was thinking I expected it for free.

Preferably with a background or experience in philosophy.

Do such people/services exist?

Pro tip: Don’t just agree with this thread! 😏

Apply the Kalama Sutta. Poke holes in these ideas. Meditate on them. See if they hold up. That’s the heart of Spiritual Empiricism: truth through experience, not blind faith.

Share your thoughts! πŸ‘‡ #SpiritualJourney

How to practice Spiritual Empiricism?

πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ Start with meditation.
Observe your mind like a scientist studies data.

Question everythingβ€”don’t just swallow ideas. The Kalama Sutta says: Test it, live it, *prove* it.

What’s one belief you’ll question today?

Liberation means changing habits before it’s too late. It demands action, not just intellectual understanding.

Spiritual Empiricism is action which aims to break the chains and liberate us from subconscious thoughts patterns and actions.

We might say the same with climate change 🌍 We *understand* it’s urgentβ€”stats, storms, and heatwaves scream it. But do we *realize* it enough to act?

Ever said β€œlife is short” but still binged TV shows πŸ“Ί while ignoring life’s brevity?

We all subconsciously believe we will live until old age. Often it takes the death of a young person to give us some insight. Even then, life takes over again and we go back to forgetting it.

Some smokers will continue to smoke through a hole in their throat, never truly being liberated from their addiction.

Principle #2: Understanding β‰  Realization β‰  Liberation

Think of smokers 🚬

Most understand the idea that smoking kills, but do they *realize* it? Often, it takes a health scare to truly get it. Even then, breaking free from addiction is another step.

Buddhism ☸️ = quintessentially spiritual. But it’s also empirical. How? It’s all about observing your mind through your senses

Ever heard of Spiritual Empiricism?

Sounds like an oxymoron, right? πŸ€”

Many hear "spiritual" and think ghosts πŸ‘» or souls, but what if it’s about observing your *mind* with the rigor of science?

Let’s dive into this Buddhist-inspired idea!

Non-physicalist theories offer very little by way of explanation of the hows of qualia.

11.06.2025 10:48 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

It would explain *why* consciousness is correlated with certain physical processes, but then simply asserting that consciousness emerges as a result of physical processes would equally explain *why* they are correlated.

The important question is how.

If science doesn't offer a sufficient explanation, then it can't be relied upon in a theory which tries to piggy back off it. Simply asserting that consciousness is intrinsic to physical particles doesn't explain the appearance of specific qualia.

I'm very much amenable to the idea that consciousness is, in some way, fundamental but it's a big stretch to say philosophers have "explain[ed] what needs explaining".

How does Panpsychism explain the appearance of specific qualia e.g. a red car?
