Good wolf, bad wolf::Good Christian, bad Christian So is Christianity Today the good Christian and Trump the bad Christian? Or is Christianity Today the bad Christian and Trump the good Christian? There's an ancient Cherokee story from before Columbus that frames the same question: A child...

I would think of non-invasive techniques with laboratory animals. But there might be problems with just putting the birth of an animal in the fMRI. Studies have shown that the information from fMRI blurrs out for the early stages of babyhood in laboratory animals. Maybe 400 years from now...

I needed some time to think about this one. The proper references are in the book, and with that said, the neuroscientist Merker knows how to locate, by observation, the exact position of the sensory reference that we name "the self" within the human body. For every event of sensation, the...

But I have also heard, from one other, of a ballerina twirling on-stage from behind a curtain. Twirling across the stage and disappearing forever through the opposite curtain. It’s a dance that can tell a story. The stage is life... And it serves as it must: To envelop the dance in a universe...

Einstein credited the intuitions of David Hume for leading to relativity. David Hume was a personal friend of Benjamin Franklin. According to biographer Walter Isaacson, it was Hume's influence on Franklin that led to the promissory assertion: We hold these truths to be self-evident. Which...

Yes, in relativity each "particle" has its own "proper time." Perhaps there's something interesting about this equation-- where are the facts and possibilities? In the book (on amazon) I go into that. It takes a few pages.

and, a new equation for Einstein's "I-time"-- I-time = (event, I-time)

Hmm... Political fiction science? : )

Yes, this is my first book. You are kind to ask.

amen

on amazon. I wrote this book and would love to discuss it here. That's why I wrote it!

To test the hypothesis, a scientist could look for the kind of cycling neuronal network that's in the attached red diagram of "self", before and after the first breath.

Hmm ... Yes, that sounds like the cover diagram of the dream child hypothesis on amazon, sort of like a game board with only one place for the token to move. In the rules of the game, the fact of self-existence causes the event of self-existing; and then the event of self-existing produces...

to me, a formal debate would mean mathematics. That's why I use it in the book, the dream child hypothesis, on amazon. Here's what I mean by a formal argument: self = (self) Is this kind of thing what you mean to include?

thank you! I posted over in "kitchen sink"-- is that a good spot to invite comments?

yes, the hypothesis is most likely beyond testing with today's technology, and may always remain so. Perhaps the hypothesis could be tested in animals, but then do you think tests with animals would extend to humans?

(on amazon) that the self begins at first breath should it be tested or not?

the dream child hypothesis (on amazon) Lincoln, Franklin, David Hume and Einstein, on the self. (It begins at first breath.) Anyway, that is the hypothesis. In your opinion, is it worth testing?
