Philosophy Reality

Consciousness is a virtual simulator par excellence and as such allows humans to have a rolodex of potential strategies when navigating in a world with ever-changing competitive concerns and environmental niches...The advent of virtual and augmented reality may serve as a useful pathway to better understand why consciousness evolved the way it did, primarily because the brain itself operates as a VR system, albeit a much more sophisticated one than Oculus Rift or HTC Vive.

This edited volume by the MSAC Philosophy Group includes a variety of essays by different authors on virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and those computational pioneers and thinkers who have advanced our understanding of a digital future.

This book examines how the human mind has constructed Western philosophy. What would a new history of Western philosophy be? Aren't there so many studies like that on the market already? Most histories of Western philosophy go in chronological order from the pre-Socratics up to the modern philosophers. But why does it have to be that way?

Is there such a thing as a fundamental reality, something which was around before our universe came into existence and which will still remain when all matter, time, and space itself ultimately disappear? Something fundamental which, in turn, can make space and time and matter arise from seemingly nothing? Under most cosmological and physical models, the last known remnants of reality are the disembodied laws of mathematics - beyond which it is extremely difficult to probe further.

This book is a follow up to the book I wrote entitled “How Pragmatism Destroyed a World”. In this earlier book, I proposed that the philosophy of pragmatism is the major problem causing confusion and doubt in our society. Everywhere we look, as we watch events, we see people intent on creating that confusion in order to “gaslight” people into accepting their rule. Various myths are being stoked and repeated to give people the impression there are “problems” that must be dealt with. The truth is that pragmatism is a gimmick and a deception.

In Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, the narrator offers a memorably brief account of his mother’s death: 'picnic, lightning'. Picnic Comma Lightning similarly opens with the death of Laurence Scott's parents, and the definitive ending of their death raises for him one fundamental question: how much of what we live through is truly real? With humour and insight, Scott transforms this personal meditation on loss into an exploration of what it means to exist in the world now.

A logical fallacy, on the other hand, is a faulty thought process that violates a rule of proper thinking. A rule of proper thinking is a rule defined by logicians through discovery of logical truths and how to frame good arguments. Correct arguments are defined as proper generalized expressions that define logical truths or knowledge. With a logical fallacy, either the contrary or the contradictory of the logical argument is said to be true. In effect, a rule of logical reasoning addresses all of the common modes of valid argument while the faulty argument contradicts them. This book ...

Hopefully, by the end of this book, the listener will find an answer to this question that sits at the top of the existential questions list.
