Merry Christmas music, and a happy new year! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H3l-sIqazI Psalm 58 (KJV) 1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congrega...
Understanding is inherently tied to reason, which serves as an explanation or justification. If something cannot be articulated in a logically consist...
I suppose it is possible to some degree that the world i'm perceiving is an illusion of some sort and it probably is in some way, but i still believe ...
I notice that you tend to put the cart before the horse when you say things like: "I think that it is necessary to conclude" "must be supported by a t...
Not sufficient, how do you know that the agent is not selecting at random, or based on some deterministic criteria? How does the agent make a 'determi...
Faster and more accurate. These systems generally outperform humans at games of almost every kind, which demonstrates the power of their decision maki...
Whatever the solution to the Hard Problem, it must involve some other process that is also determined, but it may also be that we don't understand how...
I would like to address the issue of contributing factors first to keep things simple and uncluttered so that we can potentially make some progress he...
What you think about the future determines what you will do, but what you think about the future is determined by your past, or more precisely, your m...
The breakthrough part is to do with the use of AI to do the decoding, but the ability to decode has been around for a while now. I remember reading wh...
It means you are and organism, part and parcel of a larger organism. You are like a cell in a body, traveling, circulating, doing what organisms do. T...
I kinda already knew that. Nope. In fact the purpose of my list was to lay out all the ways the universe might work, and listed all the ones i know. I...
What strawman? It sounds to me like you don't have an answer to my question, and you're just trying to excuse your way out of it. I'm not trying to wi...
No, i'm not aware of such a force that would enable the occurrence of free will, since every force i know of is of a deterministic nature. What is the...
I prioritize the pursuit of wisdom over engaging in debates or conforming to popular opinion. My focus lies in what aligns with logical or mathematica...
Don't feel bad about it, you're not the first or the last. How is free will possible, or at least how do you think it might be possible? Do you think ...
Neither the shoveling man, nor the painting man had any free will. Both were constrained by some common factor that yielded the ultimate pattern on th...
Just for fun: In a speculative and hypothetical scenario, it is possible that the Moon landing was both real and faked simultaneously. It is not uncom...
My perspective on time aligns more with Presentism, which posits that time only exists in the present moment (the eternal now of the Tao). The past an...
To me entropy is an emergent law that arises from probability, which is a more fundamental concept. When matter has space to move into, entropy occurs...
GPT translation: "Knowledge, as the backbone of wisdom, is a complex and elusive mystery. It requires study, learning, introspection, reflection, and ...
Consciousness and energy are similar in these ways: unity, intentionality, selectivity, and transience. Unity is a property that both consciousness an...
Pure energy is pure force with no direction (or all directions canceling), no aim, no purpose. When energy is combined or infused with information whi...
Interesting list, thanks. :smile: It still proves my point, because it means that there is more than one form of snow. I've never heard of most of tho...
I'm not trying to prove anything, i'm simply trying to answer the deepest question any philosopher has ever asked; why is there something rather than ...
The reason we start with absolute nothing is so that we can build up the universe piece by piece. When you write on a piece of paper do you turn to a ...
If you believe that the universe is purely mathematical, and that numbers are not just concepts in our heads but represent real things, then what is t...
Lets start simple, and let me ask you a question: Imagine absolute pure nothingness with no time, space, or energy, or anything. Now how can we get a ...
0th order time (non-spacial and scalar): The innate ability of "nothing" (0) to change state to "something" (1). Equvalent to the application of a uni...
Fundamental things can not be explained in terms of other more fundamental things. 0th order time is itself. Why does entropy happen? I've already exp...
One way to think about what i'm saying is to compare time and gravity. When one measures gravity it is measured in the form of weight, but weight is n...
What sets the first thing in motion? What if it's not just a concept, but the realest thing possible? If you define time as just a concept then the co...
No, i'm saying that all that exists is 0th order time, and everything including space emerges from it. Absolute nothingness is an impossible state con...
Well according to my own current understanding, time is fundamental in that it acts as the effector of change, movement, and duration, rather than it ...
I believe the most fundamental level of existence is time. Time is the 0th dimension and can visually be conceived of as a 0-dimensional POINT (no hei...
If we take as our standard the average human intelligence measured by some sort of comprehensive IQ test, then one can define a super-intelligence as ...
