A bacteria or virus or slime mold can be described as efficient, but they are evolutionary dead ends unless they evolve into something more complex. T...
I don't know of any single website that covers everything I've said, but a search engine can turn up quite a few different ones that can. Recently it ...
Every classic work of art whether it be a painting or a work of music has turned out to express a fractal dragon equation. The symmetries are complex ...
Beauty is both demonstrable and quantifiable. Already the music industry has an algorithm which can predict exactly how much money they will make on a...
Awareness and consciousness are not the same things. We might not believe a dog is conscious in any human sense of the word, but certainly they are aw...
The two overlap, but for the most part that's true. A small child's attachment to their toy will become more abstract and intellectual over time and, ...
Differentials compare differences, integrals compare similarities. Its easier to observe something like an engine misfiring by comparing differences i...
Differentials provide greater precision rather than accuracy. Accuracy is hitting closer to the bull's eye, while precision is hitting the same area m...
Emotions provide the fastest and most efficient way to process information. Using emotions our neurons can organize both individually and collectively...
The self-evident truth only asserts itself within the silent void, thus, justifying itself and providing its own proofs and truths never requiring any...
No man is an island nor might he become the measure of all things lest he first embrace virtue as its own reward and wonder as the beginning of wisdom...
Attention Walmart shoppers, special on personal relationships on isle seven! Believe it or not, there has been a new phenomenon of people shopping at ...
The very idea that you can comprehend a "thing" in itself without a context defies all the physical and rational evidence and is along the lines of de...
In over ten years of asking if anyone knows the simple distinction between a lynch mob and a democracy I have yet to hear the correct answer from even...
The media objectifies anything that sells with, notably, male movie stars selling more tickets than females and "The Rock" who is a famous body buildi...
No, this is a recursion in the law of identity where an up without a down is impossible because a context without significant content is impossible. W...
Different schools of thought emphasis different things. Since your avatar is Wittgenstein I'd recommend contemplating the metaphoric language of natur...
Technology is part of the same self-organizing system that we call the universe. Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, and we gotta invent technology beca...
The history of western democracy from the original Athenian democracy and Rome right up into modern times is people fighting for their freedom only to...
Classical logic is enormously useful and I have nothing against it, but I also have nothing against other types of logic either because they are all c...
Mortality is whatever the individual or group decides to call moral. If it were otherwise, people would not be debating which morality is superior. Ev...
Quantum Cognition might be a good example. When sociologists applied quantum mechanics to some of their studies they discovered it could answer some o...
A doctor has already successfully transplanted the head of one monkey onto another. The quality of life wasn't great, but it lived. For me, everything...
I never said it proves classical logic true, merely, that it begs the question of whether it is true or not by assuming the position that it is true. ...
You cannot prove something is true without somehow demonstrating it is true! Conditional reasoning or otherwise, you must assume if nothing else that ...
The foundations of Intuitionistic mathematics have yet to be fully developed and, as far as I can tell, they first need to be expressed as a systems l...
My assertion is that Godel's theorem begs the question and is demonstrably useless outside of classical mathematics and limited physical applications....
Quantum mechanics are noncommutative and you are merely arguing that classical logic and mathematics must be commutative and Godel's theorem is classi...
The idea that any theory is demonstrably incomplete is the heart of the matter. For me, a context without significant content or any content without a...
Kuhn is merely another historian giving his personal interpretation of history in the name of science and philosophy. I'll take experimental evidence ...
Nature is filled with variety including individual tastes in everything whether we consider them beautiful or funny or ugly or whatever. Without varie...
All that proves is that different species focus on different aspects of beauty. A blind man might also prefer the same painting the dog does. In fact,...
"It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong." - Richard P. F...
Beauty is intrinsic to nature and doesn't require consciousness to appreciate. For example, every classic work of art and music are based on fractal d...
The visual centers of the brain are responsible for both our appreciation of beauty, mathematics, and our tool making capacity as well because its all...
It requires physical evidence to prove that classical mathematics are a subtype of Intuitionistic mathematics that are more fully expressed using a me...
Money is doing all the driving at the point of guns. You cannot play God when the brightest lights are life on, but nobody is ever home. Fukushima and...
You are using classical logic to define the meaning of classical logic. Donald Hoffman is a game theorist who spent ten years researching the neurolog...
A lynch mob is a lynch mob and if you believe that means you are obligated to support them good luck with that. Either we have free will or we don't, ...
What is a shadow in a well lit room becomes a faint blob of light in the dark because there is no clear dividing line between any context and its cont...
Emotions provide contextual information, that is, information related to contexts. Our shadow, for example, has no meaning outside of the context of t...
Hawking wants to know the mind of God and if he could reprogram his brain, as appears likely to do with it being possible to artificially change our m...
Authenticity Often me, myself, and I can't agree, Over how divided we've become again! Who is doing all of the arguing this time! And who, exactly, is...
Greater truths progressively reveal themselves within the unfolding context of our lives. We might assume the earth is flat, but a photograph of it fr...
I never cared much for Plato myself. Too much romanticism. Anyway, a recent study of Wall Street traders indicated that no matter whether they believe...
Someone else can explain Godel's Incompleteness, but it breaks down to you need physical evidence to prove classical logic and mathematics are meaning...
That's actually three studies and there are many more related ones I didn't include for the sake of brevity. For example, contrary to decades of accep...
