dishonorably — T Clark

WTF is dishonorable? Honest?

You are also free to treat people honorably. — T Clark

Indeed! And I do! I love people!

I just finished a book on thousand brain theory that accounts for this, I believe. Take a look if it interests you — praxis

That's a very good book! The whole cortex is equally structured. The whole universe can be "played out" on it. There are virtually infinite possible neuronal paths. Well, actually a 1 with 10exp40 zeros...

Of course people like to live comfartably and go to the movies or fun park and have a good diner. But why is growth necessary? Economical growth. That's stupid.

It's been done. — Tom Storm

Huh? Seriously? Then I'll tear some leaves apart and sprinkle them on an aquarium surface. With robofish. Programmed to devour leave. And then leave.

Stupidity is fucking up the planet we live on. Gaining capital. Adhering to the product. Constructing, constructing, growing, growing, more, more, higher, higher, further, further, faster, faster, untill the economic train can't be stopped anymore and flies down and crashes with an all destroying BANG!. Hey! Light at the end of the tunnel! No...It's another train coming...

I'm chasing after new words and sentences they are contained in. Philosophy is ideal for that, reading all the beatifully constructed comments here. :smile:

As long as we don't know how our determined paths wind, and we don't, we are free people. Only particles at CERN, in carefully planned experiments have determined (and calcuable) paths.

For me expertise means mastery, not merely proficiency, and "leading expert" would be equivalent to 'grand master', or the one who leads the lesser masters — Janus

What should an expert in physics master?

To address your op, there is no such thing as a "physical quantity". — Metaphysician Undercover

Can't a body, or matter, have quantities? Mass, charge, position, maybe velocity?

For me it was good medicin. I had severe depressions but they are gone forever now.

Art is simply what people put on display and call art. — Tom Storm

Tomorrow I'm gonna break a few treebranches artistically and if people wanna buy it...

I saw a documentary on Banksy. He sold his paintings on a market. People wouldn't buy from him. Not even if he lowered the price. If only had they known...

Everything can be understood as an evolving process of integrating information — Pop

Can you give a concrete example?

What's brain information? Not the number of possible brain states. There are patterns flowing in the brain. Concerts played on the neural substrate. With the potential of the whole physical universe's forms to be played. I was asleep. But woke up again. Im very excited last days!

"Can you give me another ride when I'm dead?"

But what I'd really say to him is just - Fu*k you — RAW

Ohoooohhhh... This might lead to dangerous offspring...

Yes.

The suffering is vast — RAW

Who says it will be the same next time?

panpsychism — Pop

??? Is everything psyche?

I would suggest intimacy as a preferable metaphor to depth. — Joshs

Whaaaat? You mean how deep you can stick it in?

I think what we mean with deep philosophical problems are questions, with no definite answer, which would have an enormous impact on how we perceive and think about the world. "Ultimate truth" being the prime example of this. — Hermeticus

Then I must reside in the very deep... I found the ultimate truth!

I couldn't resist looking further. Apples in jars! That is true madness. Great! Ohoooh. Wife calls again... For the last time, she says... :smile:

Wow! Tomorrow (if not banned) I show some of mine. I maybe have a dream of your paintings... :smile:

Chicken or Egg? :smile: — Pop

Both! Im going to bed. One oclock... gnight! :smile:

For sure, every painting is that masterpiece - the one just beyond my reach, that takes everything out of me, that is the best I can do, at that particular time. And when it is finished, if it ever is, then I move onto the next similar such struggle. — Pop

Do you paint?

Matter creates force. So if I'm matter (and I think I am, but not matter without soul or essence or whatever you wanna call it, magic maybe...) then I'm force too. Outside forces can get a grip on me. Luckily...

like a selfish imbecile. — Xtrix

Jesus! Take it easy! The Corona war continues. I bet you wouldn't mind see Nosferatu hanging high...

First, a fact is a true statement by definition. — Banno

That's indeed all there is to it.

Do they exist intrinsic to us, or do we exist in a space where everything in that space feels such forces? — Pop

For sure the force is inside me and part of me. And I can use it. May the force be with us. It is! But if that's the source of consciousness...?

But time is consumed in the journey. My watch and my calender says so. — TheMadFool

That's exactly what my question is about. Can you remember that jewish guy in English parlament smashing his wristwatch?

the willingness to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth — Wikipedia

The life-changing truth I found made me change from cynical too childish naive again.

Maybe we just trap ourselves in a certain reality by believing such a thing? — Pop

It's not a make-belif kind of thing. How can soulless matter turn in feelin stuff, after I have eaten it? Maybe the force is the soul, but force is basically matter too. Gauge matter. It's different from matter though. Gauge particles (photons, gluons, gravitons) can be absorbed. Virtual (fluctuating) fields take care of force. But still matter. Though very strange quantum stuff.

Stalin Or Hitler. Not much of a choice you're offering. — TheMadFool

I like the blue pill better. The color of my last mushrooms I took. Spaghetti vision...

By moving. But at no point you had a velocity. That's defined by us. Compare it with physics without time...

So, what road is that? Perhaps I have made a wrong turn along the way? — Pop

:grin:

Well, just assume that matter is more than just soulless stuff.

There's nothing I can do! In fact, there's nothing anyone can do about it. Don't you get it? — TheMadFool

Fatalist... The matrix is a great movie though. "Red or blue...?"

So what's difference between speed and velocity — magritte

Speed is magnitude. Velocity is magnitude and direction. Scalar and vector.

You still need to explain emotions, and as you may understand, that is the hard problem. — Pop

That's the easy problem. If the right road is taken.

I'm not a specialist of this. Maybe it can, maybe it can't. — Olivier5

Let me tell you, it can't. But they are facts.

I did and Mr. Life said he can't do anything about it. — TheMadFool

Then do it yourself. Fuck mr. Life!
