@unseen Nice! Thanks! Great analogy. I support your position. Your consciousness is like your digestive system. Where does that go when you die?

Do all our choices, all the results of our executive decisions, have external causes? Or are some of the causes free conscious deliberations – free thoughts?
Is not one choice wiser than another, with respect to long-term flourishing and survival?
In short, we have a combination of freewill and restriction, in reality.

Even the great overlord, AI?
Here’s a take on freewill. The perception is one of (limited) freedom of choice at any one moment. This perception is a conscious perception. This conscious freedom of choice can be further limited or shaped by subconscious factors.
Yet the background physical substrate upon which perception and consciousness “l…[Read more]

@unseen, yes I’m afraid for my son’s father. His dumbass hasn’t gotten his citizenship yet when he could have years ago. I’m afraid they will deport him. My son hopefully is safe. I’m a citizen. But then again you just never know with these assholes. They’ll deport anyone who “looks Mexican.” Next thing you know will come the g…

@unseen, it’s already a huge nightmare. All of it. Did you see that basically Putin has already made a laughing stock of Trump? And Trump is already saying things about them deporting even people who are here legally. It’s really scary. it’s going to be absolutely horrible. He’s going to cause world war 3 and a Civil War at the…

All interesting stuff, @unseen. It is unfortunate that we have to go down this road.

absolute morality
There’s “absolute morality” – whatever that is – nobody can say – and “moral absolutes”, which are the strict rules necessary for ethical behaviour.
@unseen – if moral values are absolutes, then what do we do when two or more values apply? Which one is “absolutely” correct overall? Are the others wrong? Do…[Read more]

@unseen, have you thought about what you might want to say to Pau, if it ever seemed like she’s deeply troubled by the prospect of death? (I know she’s already talked about it, and a possible afterlife, to some degree.) If she ever considered and followed through with suicide for some reason — and I’m not implying that there’s…

About Paulina, and reflecting on Breathe, mentioned in your first post. For other readers, too. The recording’s been played when the band’s offstage during intermission. She finally played and sang it live at the Pepsi 2023 concert, for the first time. I thought she was unable to finish it, before realizing only today, it’s a very short song.

@Unseen – Yes it is. Just as well it is located near the Branch Of Awkward Wording Branch.

@Reg – thank you for saying it was the East 😉
@Unseen that liqueur was a major element to the choice. Also, S is a straw yellow, very similar to the liqueur.

So live show Pepsi Center CDMX 2023 might be comparable in quality to Teatro CDMX 2022. It’ll have a whole nuther set of reactions, starting with the single song releases. People point out how they’ve matured musically over only one year. They’re releasing singles from it, and I imagine they might release the whole concert after it’s fully edited.…[Read more]

@unseen Pi is like a long Chinese dragon. The three is a lead strong red. The 1 is white but then 4 green and 2 yellow. Effectively colours tailing off into the distance.
@Jake I like the weirdness. I met someone who has sound synesthesia and listens to music whilst she watches colours dance.
It’s a fun oddity

@unseen – The Law of Forms is a very interesting idea. I had never heard of it before. It is like applying an “Occam’s Razor” to algebra.
Many years ago, when I was in college, I was obsessed with logic, so I studied Russel, Carnap, the early Wittgenstein, and others. However, when I stumbled onto Laws of Form, i…[Read more]

@Unseen – My A.I. returned this:
The experiment you’re describing sounds like a variant of a Galton board (also known as a Quincunx), which is a device invented by Sir Francis Galton to demonstrate the central limit theorem. In a Galton board, balls are dropped from the top and bounce through an array of pins, with the outcome forming a normal…[Read more]

Rather, I’m saying that the day will come, probably soon, that an assassination is carried out by a drone rather than a rifle.
This world sucks. No one is safe and we are all going to die lol
