Life’s Elements
Life’s Elements
How do you falsify it one way or another? How can thinking be an illusion? - illusion must be perceived to be an illusion and then be distinguished as an illusion - how is that even possible if the thinking isn't real in the first place? The very question of doubting your thinking means you are thinking and hence thinking isn't an illusion. You can go to infinite regress doing this brand of solipsistic argument, saying it is programmed in our brain for us to doubt our thinking, but we really aren't thinking,
just having illusions that we are thinking (that's ad hoc). However, if illusion of thinking is experientially and qualitatively exactly the same what we seem to regard as "true" thinking, then it's basically the same thing with merely two different labels. And pursuing further that we aren't actually thinking right now, but having illusions of thinking would commit the no true Scotsman fallacy - telling that the true thinking is not what we are doing now is arbitrary and ad hoc argument; it's changing the definition of thinking just for the cause of one's argument for illusory thinking to be true.
Thing' is a way of perceiving a 'thing', 'Illusion' can be the other way of perceiving the same 'thing'. - Thinking is a broad term which includes different kind of perceptions. - So 'thinking' never can be an 'illusion' since illusion itself is a way of thinking. Time and Space are the two factors which distinguish a 'thing' from an 'illusion' But unfortunately 'time' and 'space' are also understood as some other 'things']. I would distinguish both in this way.
A 'thing' has got both space and time but an 'illusion' has got only temporal property.
we do not have any evidence so as to doubt the thinking but neither do we have any proof to verify that thinking is not an illusion or that our thinking or logical capabilities might have limitations, as the sight has limitations, dogs can see some rays that we cannot, so may be human logical capability, though much more than that of the other living things, might be limited in its own domain! and that’s how not factually, but probably thinking is an illusion and again mass and matter can be too what is it that cannot be doubted or challenged when inside a human heart or mind? I believe it's the INTENTION but again obviously that is my view and is obviously challengeable.
Thinking is information processing. Even sub-atomic particles seem to do basic information processing. How does an electron recognize the proton has an opposite charge and decides to attract? Is it not information processing (thinking) at a basic level? One can say it is programmed into the particles. Then may be what we call life is also a grouping of programmed particles; like molecules are a combination of such particles. May be jointly they process information at a higher level.
I would like to explain in some other way...The whole universe is perfect energy processed material. So we also.You can not differentiate human being and a stone.
The energy is in potential form in the stone where it is erupting dynamically and stored potentially in humans or in living creatures. The only difference between you and stone is the way of understanding your neighborhood. This will depends on the situations of time, geographical conditions and your limitations of your brain.
For example try to compare your lifetime and your body size with the whole universe space & time yours is almost zero. try to compare an electron size and time taken to revolve around proton with your life time and your size...your time is almost infinite so what is true?
Everything is true so finally what I am trying to say is no element brings the life to us an element itself has the life an element is processed material from energy only difference is the way of understanding the things.
