The reason more and more respond to populism is due to the consequences of the rising post-truth environment. By aligning with what further enforces i...
I reject this on the basis that it's short sighted for short term effects. Because in the long term it's eroding society. Going low does not mean just...
That just erodes truth more into the post-truth environment that makes people unable to know what is true and facts. We've already seen what catering ...
This time around he's surrounded not by yes-men, but by people of similar or worse ideologies. And the reason things didn't get done last time around ...
I find it interesting that some people's defense of racist, homophobic, transphobic and fascist opinions and posts usually comes in the form of defend...
In a post-truth society, the public have stopped pursuing truth, stopped listening to experts and scientists. Rather they let themselves follow whatev...
Agreed. Nations in the EU might need to stop bitching around and start to face the reality that we all need to collaborate more, not less. Build up a ...
I don't think so. Post-truth can only survive as a society so far as to give people nothing for their devotion to bullshit. And any attempts to instal...
But the world is globally moving in the direction of post-truth behaviors. And in such a climate, you can't have an election if there are no laws prev...
We don't know what that means. It could either be four years of non-stop clowning, with policies that just create chaos and a big pile to clean up for...
Let's see how long it will take for the gullible voters to realize that Trump doesn't give a shit about them. Because now they own everything and will...
Because we're evolved beings and the evolution of our consciousness requires a logical reason for why it is as it is. That logic is not coming from na...
I agree, I don't understand how so many people are calling Harris a winner at this stage. There's nothing that really points towards it. Remember that...
It’s amazing that when listening to Trump voters who are actually trying to make a rational case for their vote, most of them vote because of the econ...
People do not learn lessons on a sociological scale. Individuals learn lessons, if the population is inclined and willing to listen to those who learn...
Doesn't matter. The principle I described is the same. Swing voters goes back and forth expecting change, but their lives do not change. All they're d...
I have a bad feeling people are just redoing the same mistake as 2016. I'm seeing a lot of "Trump is screwed" kind of material that just comes off as ...
Please just stop. Your constant attempts to rewrite things into Trump's favor borders on plain desinformation. I'm amazed that you haven't been banned...
Echo chambers, conspiracy narratives, christian evangelism, low education and so on. The general human condition is that we are always prone to bias a...
You are literally calling predictive coding theory logically flawed and nonsense while I've already shared you some research papers and links to the a...
Doesn't matter, being human means having past experiences and even if those past experiences seemingly have nothing to do with the choice at hand, as ...
Coming from another discussion about perception in which I went into the up to date research on consciousness with "predictive coding". If our mind cr...
I think you are severely misunderstanding how this works. I suggest that you engage with the scientific material surrounding predictive coding theory....
The example with the coffee cup is an extremely simplified version of what the prediction function is in order to explain the process. The prediction ...
Both speak of two sides of the same coin, neither is correct in just their single concept. And the third part is the prediction function which they do...
Skepticism without grounding in unbiased reasoning and having an insight into what the science means... is meaningless. People only express skepticism...
Simon expertly describes much of the background of gullible people's anti-climate science arguments in this: https://youtu.be/MxdYQdl2NNs?si=2Oc6OtEpg...
Another thing I noticed, and I sent a message to you about it but didn't get a reply, is that when I sent for changing my password I don't get an emai...
The hallucination is the only state. Your perception that is the experience through your senses aren't a 1 to 1 process. You aren't registering photon...
And this is their false narrative, perpetuated by pseudo-intellectuals online. It's primarily just white men who're angry that their patriarchal power...
Except the driving forces underneath is far more spread out than just Trump. And the inability to guard against these people being granted so much pow...
You can't find someone who's both equipped to do what's necessary to fix problems in a nation (which most often than not angers people affected negati...
A free nation will always have bad actors popping up, fractions of society trying to install some fascist ideologies etc. But enabling such a person t...
Post WWII the world pretty much gathered around trying to figure out a better way forward. While it can be argued to death what worked and what didn't...
I agree in practice or course, but what we're seeing right now is a convoluted system that cannot heal itself. It doesn't matter if you introduce, in ...
It's in there in the post. All hallucinations in our dreams are the result of ungrounded hallucinations based on the past memories in our short term a...
Human consciousness, by the latest research, revolves around our brain being a prediction machine; "predictive coding theory". Our perception of reali...
US democracy has been eroding for a long time now. But the people don't really care until the sledgehammer of reality hits them in the face. Autocrats...
I'd rather look at it as science was in its infancy as a proper procedure. Back then, there were many more experiments that led to theories, but now w...
It's important, but not needed for creating a superintelligence. We might only need to put the initial state in place and run the operation, observing...
But we invent things all the time that utilize properties of physics that we're not yet fully able to explain. Some of the properties and emerging eff...
Corruption can be fought by enough engagement and pushback by the people. But it seems the people don't care enough either about the corruption or Tru...
With all scientific research at the moment behind it... yes. Like with the recent reconstructed fly brain in a computer that's been in the news; it se...
Unfortunately, that new finding has blown things out of proportion in science media. We already know that quantum mechanical processes occur in biolog...
I'm referring to just the common psychology of how people reason. We don't start with factual cold logic, we tend to think creatively first and apply ...
