Abridged explanation: Change “shorts” in the URL to “v“.

I don’t know if it works every time, but it has worked in all of my tests. Also, since my instructions came from AI and not Youtube, I imagine this method could be deprecated by Youtube at any time. Please let me know if/when…[Read more]

After WW2 the ideals of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights sounded good. But ““Lest we forget” implies history contains lessons that we should learn from and  remember past catastrophes to avoid repeating them. But with human nature this always becomes “History is bunk” and the past becomes obsolete noise and only the present matters.…[Read more]

The UN stated out with noble ideals but it has lost a lot of respect. It was never a moral body, just a diplomatic one that existed to keep states talking to each other. We will never get moral clarity out of a system where Saudi Arabia, Iran, China, Russia, and liberal democracies all get equal seats at the table. At best we get a consensus of…[Read more]

Trump’s inner Vlad the Impaler is coming out. He has hand-picked others who want to please him by executing terroristic policies. American human beings can be officially demoted to untrainable-dog level value. Vermin. Will SCOTUS also keep supporting him?

Panpsychism is an attempt to avoid “consciousness from nothing” by baking mind-like properties into the foundations of physics. That is almost like an argument for Creationism. For me, consciousness is an emergent property, not a fundamental physical property. It is not present in parts that can be assembled.  In the same way that water mole…[Read more]

It’s a shape.  I can’t visualise something in 4D, but I presume we have length, breadth, height, and time.  Eventually, if there’s heat death, then events stop happening and time runs out.

Inside the shape, local events exist a…[Read more]

Does it follow that the universe is eternal?

You’re talking about a finite 4-dimensional block.  It must have edges.  At one edge is the Big Bang.  At the other end is heat death, or whatever its terminating fate is.  In between, is the history of the universe and all its internal events.
