What
John has a button on his forehead with the words "free will" written on it.
It's a bit like Woody's string in Toy Story that causes him to say "reach
for the sky" when you pull it. If you push John's free will button he says
something like, "How quaint! The 'free will' noise. What on earth does
I pretty much agree with you Jason. The materialist simply posits that the

I think you're drawing unwarranted conclusions from the absence of a "flow" of time.
There is no "flow" of space, but that doesn't keep space from being a useful concept. In
GR there is still a time dimension. As Sean Carroll points out there can still be states

Hi,
My name is Luiz Felipe, I am 38 years old, Brazilian, graduated
in engineering and i am crazy about science and philosophy.
Recently, after reading and watching documentaries about general
relativity and the problem of consciousness, I made
a structured reflectionon on a 4 pages "paper" .
