The main philosophical opposition Idealism - Materialism, how to solve ?
« on: 15/02/2025 12:49:37 »
The following paragraph is part of a larger work Philosophical research:

Cosmical modeling can refer to idealism and materialism. In the geocentric model, matter has a significant advantage over mind. The sun next to the Earth in this model has some significance. This model corresponds to materialism and realism with the addition of idealism. And in the heliocentric model, mind has a significant advantage over matter. A big advantage, because the Earth plays a certain, albeit small, role in this model. The Bishop G.Berkeley system, which was a Copernican revolution in philosophy is not fully compatible with the heliocentric model because it does not take into account the Earth orbiting the Sun. The heliocentric model corresponds to idealism with a slight admixture of materialism and realism, where the Sun represents the subject and the Earth the object. The heliocentric model is subordinate to the Galactic Model 2 (other than the model presented in my thread - https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=86090.0) , in which all the stars in the galaxy (subjects) orbit a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy. Galactic Model 2 corresponds to the idealism and realism, where dominant is cosmical space (black hole) which contains the primeval singularity of the cosmos (singularity inside the black hole).
It seems that the best solution to the materialism-idealism and realism-idealism problem is adoption of all three models, geocentric, heliocentric and galactic model 2 in my new positions of ideomaterialism and ideorealism. In the position of ideomaterialism, I assume a balance between mind and matter. They share reality in half. In the position of ideorealism, I assume a between mental existence and mentally independent existence. They share reality in half.
The eternal dispute between idealism and realism finds a solution in the synthesis of these positions, which is my ideomaterialism and ideorealism.
Microscopic phenomena are mental-material phenomena. But mind has a great advantage over matter in them. They are in some degree mental processes and therefore depend on the mind of the observer, as suggested by quantum mechanics.
It is worth noting that the concept of matter should be revised. The smallest particles are formed directly from space (a square microgrid of space of the order of 10^-80 m) then combine to form heavier matter. So matter is essentially space.
My theory of ideomaterialism and ideorealism is to some extent related to the concepts of Comte and Mach, who also sought a third way to idealism and materialism (above part of this pargraph is from year 2024).
The structure of the brain and its division into two equal hemispheres may provide some clues to the validity of the proposed concept. The structure of the brain may reflect the hidden structure of reality or impose on us the structure of the theory and the division of 50-50, half idealism and half materialism. However, the structure of the brain did not emerge from nowhere, it concerns its origin, its source, and therefore may reflect the hidden nature of reality (above part of this paragraph is from year 2025).

Gregory Podgorniak, Poland

about the author, My name is Gregory Podgorniak (brn. 01.1977, Szczecinek, West Pomerania, Poland). I am working on field of natural as well as social sciences. During philosophical studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan (1996-1999) I was actively act in student scientific organisation, got a scientific scholarship, and one from my articles titled Circulus vitiosus and fourfold petitio principii in the system of Descartes was published in Humanistic Drafts of Publishing House of Humaniora Foundation in Poznan, no. 6, 1998. Unfortunately certain fate events made impossible to me continuing studies to master's and later doctor's degree. Thence I was forced to be content only with a title of bachelor.
Thanks to deep and penetrating researchings I was able to establish indisputably some number of my past incarnations reaching of ancient period, these data are certain, these incarnations are: Auguste Comte (1798-1857) French philosopher and sociologist, Edme Mariotte (1620-1684) French physicist and meteorologist, Aenesidemus (1 st century BC) Greek sceptical philosopher, Arcesilaus (315-241 BC) Greek sceptical philosopher, Gorgias (485-380 BC) Greek sophist.

Adopting the golden ratio is more elegant than dividing 2/3 to 1/3

Best advice is to ignore everything after the word "Bishop".

Not for one moment suggesting you are in error but I would personally ignore all that follows the initial "cosmical".

My friend Elizabeth knows with absolute certainty (her suspicion has been confirmed by a lama) that she is the reincarnation of Bodhidharma so cpu68 is obviously a fraud.

A lama, hmm, I don't know about that. I get my reincarnation info from an alpaca.

The problem is that during reincarnation, gender identity is preserved. Hence, a man cannot become a woman.

My alpaca says you are wrong and there is no requirement for gender conservation.

Obviously. How else could an amoeba be reincarnated as President of the USA?

An amoeba could not reincarnate as the president of the United States. It could be some kind of higher animal such as mammals, or more precisely domesticated or farm animals such as dogs, cats, cows. Because the human population is supplied from these animals. An amoeba must go through the entire cycle of reincarnations through successive levels of animal evolution.
Current President Trump could also have been a human in a previous incarnation, although he probably did not have many such incarnations - knowing him, if he had such incarnations at all. The current population, as the number indicates, is a very young incarnation population, the older population of several thousand years is a small percentage, an even smaller population of 12 thousand years. There are of course even older cases.

Okay, how about a slime mould for potus then? These fascinating organisms can manifest as single cells just like an amoeba and at other times they behave as a multicellular creature.

Slime mold cells are capable of collaboration and organisation. Amoeba was actually a compliment to something that behaves more like a virus - entirely self-centered, parasitic, and destructive of the organisation that hosts it.

Yes, of course, you are right. I just thought "slime mould" had an evocative aspect to it.

So the advantage of the simulation concept is highly probable.

My ideomaterialism is neither idealism nor materialism, but something in between, especially if we accept the half to half division.

So we would have a 50-50 division, and not, for example, the golden ratio.
