Sunday School 5 months agoEnco,
Those labels might be applicable to Trump but it does not negate the essential feature if my guess is correct.
It should not be a badge of honor to be an atheist. Nor is it some feat of ratiocination to be an atheist. The persistence of religion is testament to how very amenable to manipulation we are. If you discover life on some other…[Read more]

Sunday School 5 months agoWhen i read about the following it made me think about the issues of discrimination against trans people and even whether it is real.
‘researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Canada have discovered a specific group of neurons in the brain that acts as an “on/off” switch, showing profound differences between male and female brain…[Read more]

Sunday School 5 months agoEnco,
I was not aware of that. It is so obvious that ideology robs ideologues of their compassion. If one is not part of the in-group then fuck em. Let em fucking die a miserable death.
Don’t forgot Trump also abandoned the Kurds. And i think it was Trump who got US out of Afghanistan which enabled the Taliban to be purely Islamic and the…[Read more]

Sunday School 5 months agoTrump’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?

Sunday School 5 months agoEnco,
Can you even construct the degree of fake sympathy for the innocents in Iran if it were Jews who were doing it?
The protests, riots, propaganda, attacks, violence against Jews would be WW2 like.
It is a sick fucking world. Humans can’t think with a few exceptions and their norms and morality are dealt to them like a dealer with his cards.

I am not “me”, an unchanging physical entity. I am a sequence of highly similar spacetime regions whose internal structure overlaps. I once described myself as a “constantly merging shadow copy”. That is I am the person I was yesterday plus some incremental changes. Keep that idea going and each day (or minute, hour) I am a different person.…[Read more]

Question for block universe supporters. That is definitely me 🙂
We don’t experience “motion through time.” We accumulate records and memories and have stable correlations between them. My brain at one spacetime location contains records of other locations. (The “block” is the four-dimensional spacetime structure). Nothing in block univers…[Read more]

Sunday School 5 months agoPanpsychism 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]

I have so much more to write on this. I will try over the weekend. Just finalizing a project for work tomorrow, so maybe Sunday.

I’m at the surface level of these philosophies and physics, trying to look in. Is this just one loaf of bread, or is the next slice still unpredictable due to quantum probabilities/improbabilities? Do the ends of the loaf connect, looking more like a donut? In a many-worlds view, do an infinite number of future slices bifurcate into an infinite…[Read more]

You are standing at your refrigerator, feeling the cold hit your feet after opening the freezer door.
Does it mean that the world is actually cooler than climatologists say?
Or maybe everything in the freezer is melting?

Sunday School 5 months agoSimon,
If the universe is a block that does not register local events then why would the big bang be an exception?
And if big bang is a beginning at what point does blocking become the nature of the thing as a whole?

Sunday School 5 months agoJust reread Reg’penultimate entry & it makes sense to me except that i don’t think it follows that humans experience something that is subjective in our perception of time. Einstein allowed us to revolutionize our understanding of time. And yet that does not alter the reality of physical laws of time and the physical evidence that seems to be…[Read more]
