Why not 2 types of stuff. Stuff and the information about stuff. Pretty much how Fedex sees the world. And they seem to navigate it well.
July 05, 2021 at 18:53
I have an insane explanation for that if it helps. I think the mind is arranged a bit like Alpha Zero. An executive system that tricks two players int...

Actually Popper's only hard thesis was that humans and as a result their knowledge is subject to error. So, if you prove him wrong you are proving him...

Is this really an accurate generalization? I've read some of the material provided but this makes some sense. So, the argument is whether the "what st...
July 05, 2021 at 16:20
You mean you are ok with it. "He" agree with everything you think?
July 05, 2021 at 04:12
Treating a belief in God as a bit of sport seems odd to me.
July 05, 2021 at 03:52
I'm not offended just curious. If I had subjective undeniable evidence, then this whole "what part did God do" song and dance would be unnecessary. I ...

So, what is the point of leaning on this need to inject one's religion into a secular science?
July 05, 2021 at 03:40
Really, if this was shown to be false you would stop believing?
July 05, 2021 at 03:32
The word in the this case was to highlight undue emphasis not confuse the matter.
July 05, 2021 at 03:28
I agree. And if God happens to be an emergent feature of the universe it would also be false.
July 05, 2021 at 03:25
But you stated it as fact and said it's the reason for atheist.
July 05, 2021 at 03:20
You suppose to know the outcome of God undeniably presenting itself to the world? Seems bold, like you imagine God thinks just like you. I think the a...

If they changed their mind; would they say anything?
July 05, 2021 at 01:37
I don't think this trend is isolated to this subject.
July 05, 2021 at 01:26
There's space and the things in it or things and the space in between; is that 1 or 2?
July 05, 2021 at 01:07
It's useful if you have a belief in something, but are pretty sure all religions are wrong. So, for the sake of communication perhaps agnosticism bett...

Participatory realism maybe; I wouldn't assume simulation theory and then start drawing implications. It seems like predicting a unicorn's diet.
July 05, 2021 at 00:40
They managed to create Alpha Zero using two players and a coach. I suspect we have a similar setup and the illusion of a single mind.
July 04, 2021 at 20:55
I was thinking something a little more bizarre and speculative. Like, information informs space about the mass of an object or something unintelligibl...
July 04, 2021 at 20:07
I selected information specifically referring to the spin of entangled particles. Is that inaccurate? If information is lost during Hawking radiation,...
July 04, 2021 at 19:27
As a little check and balance I'm trying to use answers that would hold for heap making or hole(non-specified dimensions) digging at the same time. We...

Remembering to be polite to people that are doing their job. Not treating them as a means to an end. Acknowledging any service was a job and a favor i...

Mine are called dreams. Number 2 seems to lack information content. 3.Generally the existence of brains is presupposed. Number 4 doesn't follow and is...
July 04, 2021 at 00:10
Do you think you can work in an extra dimension for information. It seems to travel through space faster than min. resistance can account for or faste...

The grain doesn't transform a non-heap into a heap. An assertion without negation does.
July 03, 2021 at 17:23
You couldn't pass a Turing test. My God has enormous feet. It is the definition of a "super person". It's derived from imagination.
July 03, 2021 at 16:40
We know one non-simulation is necessary and zero simulations are necessary. Currently I can only identify one reality. I'm going to assume it's the ne...
July 03, 2021 at 05:49
The term is called making a "wild guess". You said rational reflection created this masterpiece? Are you the type that assembles a jig saw puzzle with...
July 03, 2021 at 05:42
You mean to say, I don't believe you.
July 03, 2021 at 04:45
My concept of God is better suited to the purpose I mentioned. It's something closer to integrated information theory than perhaps children's stories....
July 03, 2021 at 03:08
Gladly, it's obviously all conjecture. But, if you look at the tricks animals do like bird nests or spider webs. We seem to naturally develop a knack ...

Purpose is just to look at stuff and experience the world. Maybe, paint a picture. It's what humans do.
July 02, 2021 at 23:54
I don't suppose to know what other people think about me; much less what impression I'm leaving with a self perceiving universe. I just try to show it...

It's been proven that drinking seawater is bad for your health. No need to run any more tests.
July 02, 2021 at 23:34
Ok, I didn't realize heaps were an understood matter of consensus. You asked me if a single grain can change a heap to non-heap; rather insisted it co...
July 02, 2021 at 23:07
Nonsense. Something being easy, abundant, and easily taken for granted would not remain meaningful. Relationships are valued because they aren't alway...
July 02, 2021 at 18:56
Ok, I didn't realize this was the format. I'll keep it in mind. If you tell me heaps exist then you can prove the existence of a heap through some cri...
July 02, 2021 at 18:40
Tell me this isn't satire. A literal 'pie in the sky' argument. Orthogonal? The word used in a premise isn't orthogonal.
July 02, 2021 at 17:02
If premise 3 is true it implies criteria for a heap exists. The same criteria could produce a lower and upper bound. But, none of this addresses a par...
July 02, 2021 at 16:52
P3. heaps exist It concludes heaps exist. I accounted for the existence of heaps by showing the second premise is false. It's only the addition of a s...
July 02, 2021 at 15:10
The question doesn't ask for a tipping point, but rather the method of transformation. Which is clearly the addition of material at some rate if the m...
July 02, 2021 at 14:46
Adding a single grain at a rate of grains/time is the only thing that can turn a non-heap into a heap.
July 02, 2021 at 14:20
If corporations knew they could never be held liable for it, then moving past the propaganda into collective reality might be attainable.
July 02, 2021 at 01:07
Did we really though? I think we conceived the conditions for an infinity. I can conceive 10s or maybe hundreds and infer about millions and billions,...
July 02, 2021 at 00:29
I'm thinking we use it in a more exact way than we realize. The assumption the exactness is a number seems like the mistake. A heap is usually a large...
July 02, 2021 at 00:14
Would you want one offered out of a heap?
July 02, 2021 at 00:00
Perhaps, but I was thinking the time sensitive value they had to each person that might need one. Like the phrase "Guard this heap with your life"; se...

Is static electricity part of the car door?
July 01, 2021 at 23:17
A heap denotes a number of things. It reflects the import of the resource in question. You never have a heap of donor kidneys.
