Mats, konsthallsfilosofen, fortsätter träget sitt värv med att upplysa allmänheten med hjälp av sina handmålade skyltar på Konsthallstorget i Malmö.

Någon annan har med krita ställt en fråga som lyder:
"Borde den här skylten få finnas?"

Today I rode my Honda Super Blackbird CBR1100XX to have a chat with my pal Mats, the philosopher of the square of Malmö art gallery.

instagram.com/reel/DE-Il1aIEOr What if death is not the end? For Spinoza’s #monism, the universe is one infinite, eternal substance, and we are its temporary modes—fleeting waves in an #ocean of being. Our minds and bodies will dissolve, but the substance endures, transforming. From the perspective of #eternity, distinctions like self and other, life and death, are illusions.We are moments of the infinite, inseparable from the whole, destined to return to it. #philosophy #psychology #science #nature

A look through the #materialistic #monism glasses

Anyone who always sees things through their own glasses (doesn't even have to be “pink”) will at some point lose sight of the big picture with all its facets. Or to put it in a more modern culturally technical way: Anyone who is always sitting in their #filter #bubble or #echo #chamber need not be surprised

A new paint job for the #science building ?

This philosophical concept of supposed naturalistic #monism is currently the basis of most approaches to elucidating the phenomenon of "consciousness" in the research field of cognitive neuroscience, which attempt to reduce mental states to physical states. In the field of philosophy of mind, this concept has rather led to an eliminative #materialism, which assumes that only a "#heterophenomeology" would be possible, in which the "first-person perspective of consciousness" would not exist at all. The "ego/self" is only a "constructivist self-model" (Metzinger) of the brain as a "mental multimedia show" (Damasio) or "Cartesian theater" (Dennett).

Matts then continues with a quote from Dov Baer:

If the material world were constantly attached to the Creator without any forgetting, the creatures' existence would be nullified, [since] they would be attached to the root, to ayin. Thus they would do nothing, considering themselves to be ayin. So there had to be a breaking [of the vessels], which brought about forgetting the root. Everyone could then lift his hand and act. Afterwards, through Torah and prayer, they attach themselves to the root, to ayin... and thereby raise the sparks of the material world,... bringing pleasure to God.

Especially this last quote addresses two major issues that both sound like the same question, "why are we here?"

'Why are we here?' as in, if God is One, how can "we" perceive ourselves as separate. and
'Why are we here?' as in why would the infinite manifest itself in a physical world, why even do a creation?

Occasionally I'll mention jewish monism, pantheism, or panentheism... and reading Essential Papers on Kabbalah with my rabbi has thoroughly confirmed that all my reads on this are pretty on target.

there's a ton of examples, but one that rung clear for me was in this chapter on Ayin/Nothingness by Daniel C. Matts:

Underneath it all, God is the only "thing", the only existent. "Apart from Him, all are considered nothing and chaos." The world, though, is allowed to enjoy the illusion of separate existence, so that it not lie utterly passive in the pool of ayin.

This is where dualists (and mentalists) such as provide a different view.

AIUI they have Mind as being able to alter the probability of neurons firing.
