Most of the sources of information that represent themselves as alternatives to mainstream science are all about creating a community and marketing. A...
Boredom is a goal evolution created for us (probably) so that we don't stop trying to do things and therefore wasting our resources. You are not in a ...
Well, I guess we disagree about the degree mainstream science is corrupt. But from the practical point of view where the important question is: "What ...
Well, that is not exactly what I meant. To me achieving everything you want and being in a state you don't try to change is still happiness. Human psy...
So, a being that has achieved everything it tried to achieve and therefore does not have anything that makes it behave with intent since everything is...
Although, we probably should define what a goal is. (I think we pretty much have defined everything else pretty precisely.) We seem to agree that a sy...
Okay, let's acknowledge that at any given time, the only logically necessary goal an unstable system has is the goal of achieving a change in it's cur...
Stability was defined precisely, although I do agree that the text has other things in it that are interpretable. Stable state is simply a state of a ...
While I do agree that we could always do better, I disagree that people that do science, idolize science. Not that this has been studied, but all scie...
Oh, and by the way I don't think not eating is somehow immoral just because you have a goal of eating. For me it's all about justifying goals and the ...
Okay, it seems like we understand the word "moral" differently. To me it just represents the systems we have created to evaluate our actions and choic...
It seems like you do not understand subjective normative statements. I have a goal of eating. Therefore according to that goal I should eat. There is ...
Heat death does not try to change its state unlike the current world which continuously tries to change its state until it reaches the heat death. The...
Complete heat death of the universe aka where entropy is leading us is a stable state. Entropy increases stability. The reasoning is: Any person has a...
Well, this stability based explanation for happiness is quite like that. Happiness is the absence of instability. Gaining happiness is the losing of i...
If we extrapolate the goal of trying to achieve change in an unstable state aka trying to not be in that unstable state to an infinitely long timespan...
The reason we see systems in nature usually ending up in a stable state if they don't get outside influence, is because all systems are trying to chan...
Well, any engineer knows that this is not true - one can simply read wikipedia for engineering issues and their engineering projects based on this eas...
I do agree that there are many schools of thought within science. For example quite many of the interpretations of quantum mechanics are so widely acc...
It's true that an unstable state might change just to another unstable state. Still, an unstable system is trying to achieve a change in its current s...
"Nuclear physics is quite at the core of physics and totally mainstream, actually. And is just as reliable as anything else in science."-ssu You are c...
I try to avoid words that have too specialized meanings like homeostasis that to my knowledge only apply to living systems. I use a very general term ...
It is true true that no logical necessity can ever give us any information about our world since they are true in every possible world. They are all t...
Or are you saying that when you are in a state you are trying to change (my definition of an unstable state), you are not trying to change that state?...
But even you should agree that something you try to achieve is your goal. And you as a system are trying to get away from any unstable states you may ...
And when ones personal normative statements can be derived from logical necessities, ones goals and choices become unarbitrary and they can be judged ...
It seems like we don't have a common definition for words "trying to change" or "goal". Probably my mistake since I could have defined them in the ori...
Stability is a logically necessary property of everything since everything either is trying to change its current state or isin't. Therefore everythin...
Limit x can be described as "A is not equal to (a defined group of possibilities)". I don't see how this creates an infine regress, since the text cle...
The law of non-contradiction is just a part of limics - the part that says that paradoxes are not possible. Limics has other properties like everythin...
You should read the whole text since it clearly states its point. (although I understand that it's annoyingly long, so no judgement here.) I'm not try...
The goal of personal stability is a logical necessity for everyone, since every possible system tries by necessity to achieve stability, since instabi...
All of this "secret science" you are talking about is pretty much by definition not mainstream science and has no bearing on how reliable mainstream s...
One way to prove, that a self-replicating system with random mutations does not have to be very complex fundamentally, is computer simulation. Almost ...
"...and prompts me to ask if this theory of Limics isn't already extant and that too in a vitally necessary way in the form of the law of non-contradi...
You seem to use the word "religion" in quite a liberal way. And everything being either science or religion seems also quite black and white. Why can'...
Also, science isn't just logic+empiricism. It's also about taking away potential corruption and human error through things like peer review. Logic+emp...
well, this is still an abridged version. Especially the later conclusions would be hard to understand without the definitions and deductions from prio...
