Great lineage! :smile: I'm not a fan of quoting the ancients --if fact, I'm not a fan of quoting in general, except for very few cases-- and I can't h...
Let's invite the chatbots in the debate! Question: "Is the physical universe digital?" Answer from ChatGPT (OpenAI): "No, the physical universe is not...
So, we can forget about such a kind of obsevation, right? :smile: Besides I don't think that we need to go that far in order to consider and talk abou...
Good point. What is "universal REALITY" for you? Do you just mean the "physical universe"? If not, then you must refer to an absolute, objective reali...
Here. I just asked OAI as question about the subhect that I am discussing in parallel to this, about information and the physical universe (https://th...
Well, I can think of dozens of interesting and useful questions that are not trivial. One can find a lot of them just by browsing the contents of this...
See, one has to use "could be", "maybe" etc., descibing a possibility that the "digitality" of the physical universe. This means that there is no evid...
No, answers are not "copy-pasted". My niece, who introduced me to OAI, was very impressed by the answer she received when she asked OAI to make a summ...
Do you think it can differentiate between them? :grin: Well, we shouldn't lauph so easily. I guess that after a dozen or more exhanges with you, it ca...
Good to know. Interesting view. I agree. Good point. Of course, since the digital "world" is part of the physical world. Mainly because we humans have...
How can I dispute Planck's quanta if I am not knowledgable on the subject, @180 Proof? If you want to comment on my messages, you must read them all o...
One more great topic and a great idea to bring it in here, Javi! :up: I have "known" OpenAI quite recently and I don't have much experience in it. Unf...
But the physical universe is analogue, not digital. 0/1 bits belong to virtual, computer reality. E.g. the natureal sound is analogue. Digital sound i...
OK. But what are these "universal fundamentals?" :smile: I agree. Right. So we actually have nothing in our hands. Yet, regarding abtract ideas in gen...
Thanks for coming back on this. I consider the subject of information a very important one, to a point that I'm thinking of starting a discussion on i...
I agree. But the main issue in what I have talked about, or my main point if you like, is not about how "data" and "information" are related. As I sai...
I agree. It also applies to science. Don't forget that in ancient Greek philosophy, science and philosophy where one. In fact, the first Greek philoso...
Has religion begun from somewhere? Or science? They are all "products" of the natural development of the human mind. And as such they have their roots...
Thank you too, @universeness. I suggest we pass over the first two questions. They refer to a theory and experientation that is not so realistic to me...
Very interesting, @universeness! :up: Thanks for bringing in this video. It offers plenty of food for the mind. I have a few questions. And since you ...
Yes, one may find order(s) in parts of some disordered whole. Not very evident or clear, but yet ... I see. OK. Right. Alright. This is another point ...
Not exactly. I said that what looks disordered can also be ordered, from another frame of reference. Not always or everything. E.g. I can't think that...
Indeed, poorly. I gave you an example. The apparently disordered soundwave is also (i.e. it represents) an ordered musical sound. Also atoms by simple...
Interesting "article". :up: Just a question: I wonder if saying "a system based on disorder-order-disorder" is intentional, i.e. if disorder prevails ...
Margin of error has to do with statistics. And statistics have to do with the use of mathematical theories of probability. So, theoretically, if have ...
It never rains as everyome likes, right? (I can also Google it of course.) Ha,ha,ha! It always lies with the butter down! Hate this! :grin: But there'...
:smile: This makes me think of another misconception and/or bad interpretation of ML: its relativity. About the rain and the umbrella ... One feels un...
I believe that Murphy's law applies to everything. I also believe that it is wrongly considered pessimistic. It simply says that if something can go w...
I believe the opposite is true. As I have already said a couple of times in here, the burden of evidence lies on the one who claims that something exi...
If there are different types of lack of belief it means that there are also different types of belief. However, they all refer to an opinion, convicti...
No, I'm not feeling like that. (That's why smileys exist! :smile:) It's only that we have radically different views on the subject and I can't see any...
Right. In fact, now that I re-examine the argument in question, there is a flaw: the second statement --"A Communist has no respect for freedom of inq...
I just had a look at the link you offered regarding "analytic philosophy". I had to go through a lot of historical data as well as a lot of "ims" --Mc...
Quite interesting and educative! Thanks for posting this topic. I don't think that Aristotle referred to specific first principles. I think that his f...
If they believe that, they should be able to explain it then. Can you? Also, if this were true, there should be some evidence of at least some indicat...
I agree. This is close to what I mentioned en passant about "ignoring actual experience". I believe that consulting our own experience more than our o...
