FalseIdentity

No no, I have been ill for years :)

Thanks and I am sorry. I indeed did not invest fair time when reading your text a second time for writing the reply, but I should have found a more po...

I always admired hermits :) And I don't think that it is even desirable that everyone thinks the same. If you can be an optimist, I don't want to dest...

Sorry I had difficulties to see how your text related to my complaints about logic at all, this is why I tried to summarize it. If this is not the rea...

You said that one can proof that logic discovers the truth by the success of science. I don't deny that. But just because logic can solve problems whi...

Yes you are right, that is a computer analogy too :) The deeper problem with the "heuristic bias" is that the consciousness is so different from any o...

No problem! When I was young I was an atheist too. However one interesting outcome of this discussion was that an evolved logic would not be capable t...

I apologize for having shown ethusiasm for the ideas of someone else, enthusiasm is the true mark of the stupid, I realize that now. Whoever is not "f...

I can imagine how a cylinder looks like a square when seen from fare away but I can not imagine how a quantum wave looks like a particle by any manipu...

My original opinion is that human logic has something evil to it and that I don not fully trust it. If you don't like the word evil for historic reaso...

I should have said "entity that can solve problems" not entity that has a mind :)

If you say so. And it is certainly compatible with the laws of logic that one and the same particle can hold two oposing spins at the same time, and t...

I am pretty sure that your table does not exist in a propability cloud just because it's legs extend to several locations.

I have made my mind up this night and I stay with my original opinion. During the discussion somehow moral blured more and more into the background. I...

We have a disagreement here on which are the best options for an analogy: you think it's the organisation of a business I think it's a matrix where th...

In reality prey animals prey too: they take away the food of other animals. That might look peacefull as long as there is plenty of food but if there ...

Well I am already changing my mind in relation to Hoffmann, or lets say I suspended my opinion about him until I understand the counter proof in that ...

Serotonine is something extremely complicated. It is not only involved in body functions and in decision processes (it's levels seem to rise in the sa...

That is nice, I will try to remember it :) In fact evolution could have selected some people in a way that they try to solve their problems more in in...

I think you have a very good point here. With all the disbute about Hoffman the focus was lost that my complaint is that logic is evil. If Hoffmann wo...

To be able to occasionally overrule the motivation it must always have the first access to information and decision about such informations or the occ...

I start to have a bad consciouness to bring up my health. One must say too that it is still not certain that I die but several health problems combine...

In retrospect the heading was a bit click bait: I did not have a good idea of how to pack my problems with logic into a short heading.

It is true that reality is conditioning us to be predators. In a certain sense you could even say that all the evil things human ever do come from bee...

I think that social inequality is more than just hurting people, it creates an evolutionary pressure that outselects people with high empathy. Or in o...

I am ill, my heart could stop at any moment. This somehow changes my perception of what is important in life. See it this way: the need to survive has...

Nice idea but not falsifiable. It could be an evolved intuition and a dopamine shot but it could as well be something else. Furthermore you get dopami...

James Riley could take the position of absolute scepticism. Whatever he argues for could have the nature of a thought experiment in a gentleman's club...

I think the desire to make logic our god has something to do with the human value system. Statistically the majority of people think that they are sub...

It's the other way round, there would not be any matter to make a gentleman from if the gentleman agreements would represent reality. The atom would c...

Correct. I noticed that I isolated myself to much when trying to think through philosophical problems. I know I will be grilled for this confession bu...

You are in the moment the closest to actually changing my mind at least when it comes to using the term 'evil' :) I can see how the philosophy of Jain...

I wanted to give Sophisticat credit for finally bringing forward what is his problem with Hoffman but I cheared to early: this is not him, apparently ...

I fear you are right about the relation between death and truth. Truth might well be that what one gets when one finally stops to use "stolen life ene...

Thanks for the kinder interpretation of what I am trying to do. Coherence is a good point. I guess the only states we know where we do not use logic i...

Ah Ok, I recognized that this is similar to Platingas Argument (I think Hoffman gives a bit more details on what exactly will go wrong than Platinga w...

You still do not provide any actual logic argument what is wrong with the reasoning of Hoffmann. There is a further value judgment instead and that is...

I can't understand why you get so angry by the way. You use a combination of argmument from authority against me (youtube videos have to be denied as ...

There is a controversy about everything, because logic is ment to make war and gain attention. If you can use logic to gain attention this will give y...

I approve of good intuition as an argument in this context :) It could be from aplace beyond logic. However I would love to think more about how this ...

No this is an important thought experiment for me now: I am willing to throw out the baby with the bath water in order to gain new insights: I will fu...

I think proofing by mathematics and computer models that evolution can not even develope the sense organs to perceive truth is news. But maybe that is...

Thanks that is exactly what I was looking for! Apparently when the Jains say that "no single, specific statement can describe the nature of existence ...

That sounds smart: base the burden of proof on logic to proof it's own principles. We can already see how the principle of excluded middle and of iden...

What Hoffmann does it's a mathematical proof using evolutionary game theory. If you say there is a controversy about it without pointing out any parti...

I am emotionally sure my onw logic is evil too, that is why I started the discussion, after a life of watching what I do when I argue I have a very ba...

There is a scientist that already calculated that we can't know reality (using evolutionary game theory): https://youtu.be/oYp5XuGYqqY I would as well...

I propose that some sort of computation does take in the brain but if you mean concious thinking, no I don't believe that. I would say my brain is one...

@"I love Chom-choms" Noted, no mentioning of you. I was just looking for a way to say thanks to you because I think you did a great job! It's often th...

I love that idea, it shows a high level of understanding of the text! I too guess that the universal mind knows and can predict what a logic of causal...
