A rock can travel hundreds of miles a desert due to wind. "What" desired that?

I'm not though. There is a base, and I've already demonstrated that. Atoms have their preferences, their likes or dislikes, concerning what other atoms they join up with to form molecules.

You cannot explain that phenomenon without the basis of desire

It's not preferences, it's compatibility within the laws of physics.

And you cannot attribute desire without some form of sentience.

And those compatibilities were an end result *that was desired*. Otherwise there is no reason or basis to believe that the laws of physics behave the way we experience them, since there is no empirical beginning to it.

There was nothing "desired". Two magnets slam together because that's what polarity does. There was no thought or will behind it.

Then why do magnets also repel each other?

GG @Fuskand, you just advanced to level 2!

You should shift this through an Aristotelian perspective (potentiality and actuality), @Fuskand, else you won't get anywhere.

Based off what polarity is available? Because the polarities have their *preferences*.

Depends on the polarity and their position, due to again, simple physics, relatively anyway.

Except you cannot explain simple physics in any coherent way other than as a desire.

Everything else described is just a result of what was desired.

It just explains the ending of the actualization process without actually touching on where it *began*.

Looks like some cruel motherfuckers showed up after all

No, as an event that is testable and replicatable. Your terminology is your obsession, not mine.

You're some sick puppies, tormenting this poor man

@Dr.Cosby tbh I'm rusty asf when it comes to philosophical jousting. Need to practice.

Lol I'm just kidding around, you know I would be the pot calling the kettle black hehe

An event that is testable, replicatable only cements the fact that there lies a framework which was created. There is no logical reasoning as to how reality as we know it came about. Without something or someone wanting it to be that way.

I'm also fairly sure Fuskand is a jokester - the "reading material" he linked should be evidence of that

The only joke is your life if you think I'm kidding about anything.

"I recommend reading the Kybalion and Mind Power: Secrets of Mental Magic"

Why does there need to be a "reason" for anything in the universe?

because otherwise there's no reason for it to be here.

Yeah, so?

It's a magic book

The Universe could very well be a giant accident of physics. So what?

And from what we understand of physics, it's far more likely that we wouldn't exist at all. See: Boltzmann Brain.

No, this is not some motivational self-help book either. It is as it seems: a sort of wizard's handbook to influence vibrations and things around to...to cast magic spells.

Nah, magic spells and stuff is categorized as sorcery.

You could think of it as exploring a new field of physics.

See: Nikola Tesla and the Vibrational Universe

And then whatever this is (I think it's related?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kybalion

Thanks for sharing this stuff btw Fuskand

My people will find it very interesting

It's written by the same author as the Mind Power: Secrets of Mental Magic book

Ah, this book from 1908

William Walker Atkinson

Mind Power was published in the 1920s
