Information = change. A by itself is nothing but A in relation to B? Now that’s information. Because they are either qualitatively or quantitatively d...
To tie this back to the OP, could it be said that many historical figures were subject to this “Oedipus Rex syndrome” in that their goal or personal m...
Yes it has the potential to guarantee the outcome you were looking for, the major component being to either a). establish a set of circumstances in wh...
Interesting and what say you of the difference between those that are slaves and have their accommodation and food provided for them so that they may ...
Yeah there are some interesting corollaries in parallel between this situation outlined above and Oedipus Rex. In that a). Both feature self fulfillin...
I’m not sure if I agree that life is not tradable. Allow me to elaborate in a few different trains do thought: 1). By donating one of a pair for f vit...
Haha I’ve made whole posts based on this issue. Trying to define what exists and what doesn’t and how etc. Seems it’s creeping into my other threads. ...
I like how you explained the progression it was well articulated. Scientific method confuses me a bit though in that it is not completely objective in...
Interesting however could a concept of a god not be conducive to a productive or cooperative society and has it not done so before historically- leavi...
Because we can go against baser instincts. We can refrain from primal urges and in the extreme case we can completely go against the mechanism of natu...
Perhaps agency and awareness of self had the edge on aimless unconscious meandering in natural selection? Maybe it’s better to navigate by an ego then...
I don’t see what this clarification offers additionally tbh. By this do you mean you believe conscious awareness as a phenomenon to be somehow outside...
I didn’t say life is the “whole” universe becoming self aware but life exists in the universe and is composed of it - hallucinations are still process...
Well, there is a false sense of choice in such questions as obviously positing whether one should exist or not is from the bias of a state of already ...
Not sure I agree that linguistics or languages don’t exist to understand the world because you cannot remove understanding from communication they’re ...
The only issue I have with this is the regression of definitions. Ie. A tree is a plant, a plant is a living thing a living thing is ... at so forth a...
I disagree definitions can definitely tell you something new. If not how ever do we educate ourselves on the world/ nature - it’s characteristic, prop...
Can you define without making distinctions? I know what you’re saying in that language is a projection we apply to objects. We could just as easily ca...
Yes but show an image of a shoe to anyone and they will immediately Manifest in the minds eye the functions properties and nature of a shoe or their u...
Exactly this is the crux for which I started the thread. Definitions deal with specificity and accuracy and is a balance of both, you can be highly sp...
Granted this is true of purpose or utlilitarian based definitions but if we consider all words on the dictionary (all having definitions) there are ma...
It depends what exactly you mean but yes in a general sense I think most things are not clear cut and discrete but rather a more flexible spectrum of ...
I agree that the paradigm of science and maths is establishing truth through consistent laws and rules and in this sense their definitions are more pr...
In the broadest sense but also a bit of a useless definition: we are that aspect of existence which has an awareness of its existence. We are the part...
Heisenbergs uncertainty principle begs to differ. If you know the exact location of a particle you cannot know it’s velocity and vice versa. It’s like...
I agree. Atheism is a rejection of a preconceived idea of god or gods. There is only “relative atheism” - atheism relative to say christian god or Hin...
I think now is a good time to point out that in the case of black holes... light and matter radiate inwards towards a singularity. Theyre a bit like d...
That’s very astute and I’m inclined to agree that everyone is capable of both extremes. It’s likely those that don’t believe they can possibly be that...
Exactly I don’t believe many of us at all are aware of what would really make a person “saintly” or whatever term or word you wish to use for the idea...
interesting. Yes I agree we often believe that because of our knowledge of our own intentions we believe our actions are removed from the question of ...
This for me brought up an old phrase “everybody worships” - for some it’s a god, others money, fame, influence and power, beauty, love, skill, etc but...
well whether we need religion or not for our morality, at the very least benevolence as an idea (be it fundamental or simply a construct of humanity) ...
Though we don’t typically consider it “magic” I think the universe offers several phenomena or qualities which I would argue are as close the the term...
Do you think that the universe is inherently able to create order or is it merely our conscious inclination to organise, categorise, define and group ...
This is similar to Taoism in which there is something that cannot be defined. Any definition is drastically short of precise or accurate in any useful...
I see what you’re saying and it does follow a sound reason from an objective sense. I do feel that to qualify everything that exists in an objective w...
Haha well in my defence i havent posited a thread about god in a while. But yeah I feel when you come across a topic it tends to come to the forefront...
Yes it’s used in this context as the general collective term for people both male or female. However when it comes to conscription I don’t believe the...
In mathematics factorial represents a function of all possible combinations. If you know everything (a set) you must also know every recombinant or “r...
What do you mean by timeless motion. Because for me motion indicates a reference to space and distance. And I can’t see how motion from A to B can exi...
Ah yes i see what you mean. I often, like many, struggle to distinguish between that which is (exists and is objective) and that does not - in any “re...
I believe that depression cannot be the default state of human existence alone. For depression to exist so must it’s opposite. One does not know depre...
Could it be that “cause” is “existence”? In this way there is no need for cause indeed as it is synonymous with existence itself. Existence is cause o...
well I agree however if we consider that observation or “awareness” could possibly be an innate fundamental property of energy, just as entropy, motio...
Justice itself requires a choice between good and evil. You cannot punish someone who has no faculty of choice/ decision making. That’s why one can be...
