Analysis of David Hume

First, allow me to open with an analysis of Desmond Hume, from Lost.  In the series, Desmond Hume often bids farewell to other characters by saying, "See you in another life, brother".  One could argue that this other life is the afterlife, though it could refer to the metaphysical world.

The metaphysical world was designated by David Hume, a Scottish philosopher in the 18th century.  He suggests a parallel universe to the physical world made up of all the wills and thoughts of the population of the physical world.  In other words, a universe of philosophy constantly clashing.

Desmond Hume often represents this belief in the show as he is, literally, caught between various universes, though you would really have to watch the show to understand.  Furthermore, he is often at odds with other characters and submits his will to a certain cause, such as pressing a button every 180 minutes, just only will and thought exist in the metaphysical world.

Metaphysical world is such a clunky name.  For this purpose, I think we should refer to the physical world as, "Is" and the metaphysical world as "Ought", echoing the two words David Hume often used in his own analysis.

This is what I think of in class.

Is it possible that we can hear sounds that we really can't.  I mean we can only hear things in a range of theories.  But that doesn't mean sounds outside of that range don't exist.  (By "sounds", I refer to any wave that passes through space by means of vibrations in the air.)

So, maybe those sounds do pass through our ears.  Perhaps it is simply our minds that decide not to process them.  But those sounds might subconsciously affect our thinking.

Neo-Nominalism III

Notice the screens in the background.

As I mentioned last year, reality has value through discreet universes. The mind does recognize each of these individual universes. After all, what is the purpose of memory? But even for each universe, a new mind is born into it. If it is imaginable, the human mind is linked to it. What I am saying, essentially, is that every moment real or unreal that runs through our minds ultimately influences our decisions and reality. The scene shown above was a perfect illustration of neo-nominalism.

Here is a demonstration of consciousness in Eternal Existence.

I propose the concept of predator consciousness, prey consciousness, and universal consciousness. Somehow, animals evolve to develop ways of not being eaten by not tasting good or being poisonous. Yet does the prey always know what the predator is thinking? No. This is accomplished because the prey is linked to the reality of escaping the predator and also the universe of the possibility of being eaten. The prey consciousness and predator consciousness meets somewhere in these universes for them to be aware of how to escape or catch the other.
