I actually posted the following question to stackexchange: How do time evolutions occur in the Many Worlds Interpretation? For example, if I assume th...

I found Max Tegmark interesting in his mathematical universe and multiverse theory. Then again, it seems remarkable for physicists to think it true th...

Earlier I wrote that the wavefunction collapses, what I should have said is that measurements technically cause another world forming.
July 25, 2021 at 23:54
From the article: This kind of hap hazardous growth of the entire universe would be in only some mathematical abstraction, no? Otherwise some physicis...

But, there are certain thermodynamic laws that govern probability distributions even for observers. If you might mean that entropy is limited in certa...

E.g, the good, the telos, the dialectical, etc. The philosopher, for himself or herself.

This confronts a pretty pernicious issue as to what or which kind of wavefunction collapses cause this to occur along with the extent of the parent un...

I've long wondered about what does the MWI branch into?

What do you guys and gals think this pig is thinking to itself? https://image.shutterstock.com/image-photo/fat-black-pig-sitting-on-260nw-424557271.jp...

Yes, that may be true, but, tell me when was the last time you heard a domestic pig killing anyone for the past millennium or more? Boars aren't pigs....

As a methological naturalist, it doesn't seem to me that there's anything structural or non-cognitive about ethics, apart from inherently speaking abo...

So, the pig slept and dreamed about eating. When it woke up it properly said that food is good. When it agreed with itself in a shake upon getting up ...

Nice. The language of architecture spoke to him seemingly. Logical form and functionality and all that.
July 24, 2021 at 18:12
It does seem that philosophy as a way of life is important to profess or has value rather than not. Values seem important but are encapsulated in how ...

I assume you don't have children or much of an environmentalist?
July 24, 2021 at 18:06
They are indeed acquired. But how?... I would think, cognitively, as in a reflexive manner towards the good which has to be determined through examina...
July 24, 2021 at 16:12
If you mean by that as indoctrinated or taught, then I suppose I agree. In the context of this thread, they aren't cognitive as forms of life although...

I think your downplaying how hard it is to discover these rules to abide by in life as Wittgenstein would notice when partaking in a forms of life. Or...
July 24, 2021 at 15:44
When you say that philosophy is about establishing a criteria through a performative or non-cognitive method, then doesn't that mean that a type of co...

A pig would just squeal or oink itself out of a situation. A squeaky wheel gets the grease as they say. Jumping off the deep end, some downtrodden ant...

July 24, 2021 at 00:45
I'm not sure how to go about this. It seems to me something someone would say of an animal or domesticated pig.
July 24, 2021 at 00:37
Well, yes, isn't this Kant all over again? Kant could come up with much. But, an intelligent chap might say that utilitarianism does away with this by...

The examined life seems to me to be about something a 20s person is not concerned about at their age. It seems more aligned with a concern about ones ...

A pig fell asleep and then woke up, that's all that fucking happened.
July 24, 2021 at 00:12
I have found this to be true in terms of unlearning distorted behavior and even to the point of constraining wants. But, the way people practice hygie...
July 23, 2021 at 23:25
I see this as a performative contradiction in how to determine those criteria are mostly doctrinal. Unless you mean this as pure egotism?
July 23, 2021 at 23:16
Yes, but I'm assuming your a little older than the inquisitive few youngsters around here for them to not want to commit mistakes in life and make it ...
July 23, 2021 at 23:12
I think I left it too straightforward. When living the examined life what ought one be concerned about it? One's place in the world or their intellige...

@"Bitter Crank" could write something for us young folk?

I only read books that branch out my existing knowledge. Is that what idiots do? The idiots guide to reading?

Don't really know what you mean there. Flamboyant is just what it means.

What do you mean by that? Seems interesting to say that mathematics could get along well without certain principles governing how we operate in it.

So, in your opinion, when speaking about the ontology of a unicorn, we can say it's a literary fiction. But, how do we classify round-squares?
July 21, 2021 at 21:56
But, I have a question. What is the difference between Pegasus or unicorns and round-squares?

It's more of a philosophical argument whether death obeys logical progression so I might just post it as a fun topic in Phil of religion.
July 21, 2021 at 21:31
God's accountant, as death. Further ordained with logical progression.
