Re: Material

Then what is this "you"?
Are you saying it does not exist?
Apparently you are. This thing I call me is my brain, a hunk of meat?
The pattern of the atoms as they interact in complex forms is what constitutes "you".The existence is a result of the atoms in there interactions.
This is puzzling. How can a hunk of meat discuss ethics and such?
Explain that, please
Because of our ability of speech which has progressed through the ages to allow us to refine our thinking process.By the advent of agriculture and the centralization of capital wealth that allowed societies to progress from surviving to more complex interplays. This,in turn,allowed things like the discussion of which is the best way to allocate resources and to whom led naturally into discussions that required the concept we term Ethics.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
