To remain stably longer in a material universe is as probable as staying in a Harry Potter Universe. So even if a material universe exist, and even if just right now you are in such a universe, the comp first person indeterminacy entails that you will not last in it for more than an instant, so that you cannot use it for explanatory purposes. This should follow from the UDA. Don't you see? So you are right, from a purely logical point of view, comp does not forbid the existence of some material realm (but what is it?). It just forbids the use of "hypothetical matter" for explaining physics. Then by the usual scientist use of OCCAM (not necessarily the stronger form like in some form of anthropic reasoning) it follows that we don't need at all the "materialist" hypothesis. Neither in physics, nor in philosophy of mind, theology, etc. Bruno http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~marchal/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
