PIG PILE PILE UP PERSEVERES INTELLECTUALLY BUT NOT PERSONALLY
Ya know what is great for anxiety and not addictive? Marijuana is. When my dad had bad anxiety caused by compression in his brain brought on by a large tumor 1 vaped hit did the trick. BP dropped like a fuckin rock and a big smile emerged. It is not a long lasting medication for anxiety…[Read more]-

Jordan Peterson, a man of no substance, plenty of bullshit, similar to Trump
PIG PILE ON PETERSON!

It is unfair to reduce Peterson’s ideas about truth to a simple juxtaposition of accurate v. useful. But if we assume it is as limited as aforementioned then the “dictator” determines what truth is. In so doing truth serves the dictator. Think for instance Trump. He has normalized lying in a way that is always self-serving. The members of…[Read more]

Tampering with the notion of truth in the way Peterson is suggesting is not a way to improve life. It is a way of enabling those in power to abuse their power. It is a way to insure that the weakest and most vulnerable are exploited.

I think that was a big part of it. And Goebbels would have likely agreed with Peterson. But we all know that truth is not aesthetic.

Simon i first became aware of Peterson on a S. Harris podcast. He made that podcast a waste of time. Subsequent investigation into his thinking leads me to believe he is utterly lacking in substance. PIG PILE ON PETERSON!

As I remember, there was a difference of opinion over what “true” means. Harris said it’s “accurate”, Peterson maintained that it’s “useful”.

I think Peterson’s was a psychologist’s, clinical point of view. After all, he’s all about improving life – unlike Goebbels.

How so? “Useful” must be a subset of “accurate”, so there’s no conflict.

Peterson says here: https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/transcripts/transliminal/
“The concept of logos… it’s the power of truthful speech to transform reality in a positive direction.”

This is interesting. You guys are offering hypothetical advice. If Ivy truly wants advice she will say what the issues are.

Was just thinkin bout anthropic principle and Reg goes ahead and mentions it. It must mean something. It can’t be a coincidence.
I’d say if randomness is at play the clockwork metaphor does not work. It is a metaphor for determinism. Great way to test determinism…play that shit back DJ. It is a question as much for science as it is for…[Read more]

Robert i agree with much of what you’ve written. Not all of it.
The conclusion that we are unimportant? check.
You wrote i am in the god camp of omniscient possibility. That is the best way to insult me! But i think it is a non sequitur. At least i cant see how a clockwork universe depends on our appreciation of its intricacies. it either is or…[Read more]

Davis, the analogy is a construct. It does not mean that you are describing something beyond the construct.
But i like the metaphor u used for determinism…clockwork universe. And i am asserting that the sophistication/complexity of the life in that universe does not alter the operation of the clock.

Dictionary says…an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities…some synonyms…choice, option, alternative, preference..CHOICE suggests the opportunity or privilege of choosing freely.
Thus in common usage the word CHOICE and UNCONSCIOUS are indeed at odds. We may be no different from a paramecium,…[Read more]

Robert, can’t agree. That is solipsism. Whether we are cognizant of how things will unfold has no bearing (in most instances) on how they will unfold.
Unconscious choices? That is a contradiction. I cant comment on random code replication issues cuz i aint got that knowledge cuz i didn’t go to college.

jakelafort replied to the topic What did Wittgenstein mean by saying that in the forum Science 6 years, 8 months ago
Davis, i can’t see how complexity obviates determinism.
Also, the notion of choice makes sense only in the context of consciousness.

Simon, the but for ( for instance, but for a Denovisan taking a shine to a homo sapien 122,ooo years ago this occurrence would not be) causation is endless. On the other hand it is gravity alone that accounts for the ball”””””””’s falls. Kind of reminds me of legal analysis of causation. In this instance gravity is akin to proximate cause.…[Read more]
