I watched a video where quantum physicist admits many quantum physicists (not just students) don't fully grasp quantum physics. (the study of what's k...
Interestingly despite the brave new world being banned in the US some scientists are already proposing a solution to genetically modify us to withstan...
Generally I think the magnitude of universe should not have an impact of probability of human existence. What follows for instance is that, the bigger...
I think "that's just what happened" is too abstract statement, because in fact there a ton of stuff behind it. I assume by "that's just what happened"...
It could mean a blend of technology and our body in such a way where we're no longer human in it's true meaning, we might become entirely new species,...
There is evidence of evolution, Neanderthals and other human species, so you didn't find your self in human body out of a sudden. Genetics and modern ...
If we one day reach trans-humanism and sway away from the way of life as we know it and if knowledge is preserved then it's possible for religions to ...
I'll join this thread instead of creating a new one.. Recently watched documentaries about Maya, Aztecs and Inca, it's fascinating how they even thoug...
Well said, I have no counter arguments but will add to your comment that using this kind of antinatalism to reduce population would also create econom...
I didn't read entire thread and don't know if this was discussed already but isn't anti-natalism perfect solution to overpopulation? It's not new that...
You have surely noticed how people are kind and polite when they need something from you, but very quickly change their attitude once you provide them...
Not only bona fide does no longer matter in society but also "Winner school" no longer exists. I can't find online some definition about it but it's a...
I'm not sure how to try better express myself. But let's try division by 3 with same sample before: 4 / 3 = 1.33 count of divisions is odd so the lamp...
Successive Division by even number results in even number of divisions, no matter how many times you divide some number by 2 total count of divisions ...
I see no contradictions because division by 2 wait(i *= 0.5) results in even number of total divisions. Therefore if initial state of the lamp is off ...
I have read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis But this is just a hypothesis based on "Let us suppose for a moment tha...
Math (arithmetic etc) with infinity as a value or function argument is not valid. An explanation why that's so is Hilbert's hotel explanation: https:/...
This in in fact an argument against simulation theory... Which is that simulation theory implies some computing power (as we understand computing and ...
Therefore we need to improve on political philosophy to find better ways on how society should be governed which in turn should address scientific pro...
I don't know but I admit that philosophy is such an interesting field of study. I learned from other members here that philosophical discussions shoul...
I'm not familiar with these math problems but here is what I found: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/platonism-mathematics/#MathSignPlat Although th...
It does not explicitly say they're a synonyms (obviously they're not) but the context is that for something to be true you need proof. otherwise how d...
The terms I used are based on JTB article according to my understanding, (ex. I didn't made it up only to debate you). and yes there is mention of pro...
Here is a quote from the JTB article: I respect you and your view on JTB but again I highly suggest you read the article: https://plato.stanford.edu/e...
Perhaps if you're visionary or prophet then you can know what will happen with your house days or weeks later, that's not proof and so not "T" true co...
You replied so fast I'm certain you didn't read carefully what I said. In the quote above you said it's true because you believe it, do you see? Anywa...
You said: That's not what "justification" condition is about in JTB! you don't know your house will be there when you return, you do know it's there n...
We don't know yet, it's a matter of the future, for now the only evidence is nuclear weapons and AI and perhaps some other developments like genetics ...
I think this is wrong approach, counting good things about science to encourage discovery of potentially devastating technologies is not an argument I...
ofc. not, it should be worded as unjustified belief because it's not true. But epistemology makes no room for speculations like "maybe later I'll see ...
It has been long time since I last time read the JTB article, I don't find it hard to understand but I find it difficult to explain to someone who did...
Yes. Yes. No. Not for "any belief" but only those beliefs that are true first are then justified, while beliefs that are false first are then unjustif...
I did not say that because "justified belief" is justified only if you believe in what's true, otherwise it's not justified and neither it's justified...
Sorry but this makes no sense to me, how could "true" statement be superfluous? To my understanding of the article, "true" statement (condition) is th...
I'm not an expert so please correct me if you think otherwise, but I think you got it wrong, if you read the linked JTB article you should notice righ...
Thinking about what you said, this should probably be classified as passive danger and active danger. concrete tech ex. nukes correspond to active dan...
Maybe you want to explain?, I don't get it. Spoons will likely never go out of scope, but for written books there already are alternatives, PDF's and ...
Perhaps outside the concept of justified true belief: "The general idea behind the belief condition is that you can only know what you believe." https...
Yeah we don't know what the future holds, so we can't dismiss the possibility. General preventive measures are desired, just like there are preventive...
Yes, there are many benefits of scientific progress but the thing is that only one wrong technology can devastate all benefits. I don't think science ...
I think no matter how morally perfect or morally enlightened world population is there will always be individuals willing to do immoral things with th...
