Given what you know about robotics and machine learning, do you think that there are jobs that can't be automated? — Josh Alfred

Are there one's that are going to be harder to automate than others? What are those jobs?

To be precise, science explains nothing ... — EnPassant

The universe must have some kind of fundamental level of existence. In other words, it can't be reduced beyond a certain point. — AlienFromEarth

A metaphysics is not a piece of evidence or a collection of facts to be compared against scientific claims. It’s the meta-framework within which scientific claims, facts and evidence are intelligible. Change the metaphysics and we don’t ‘disprove’ a science’s facts, we change their sense and relevance. — Joshs

To me, that describes what true spirituality is, when it is directed against injustice. — universeness

Flourish By Minimizing Harm.

Liberty By Minimizing Injustice. — 180 Proof

Metaphysics is a discipline; imagination is a faculty. — Mww

As even though you are prepared for, or perhaps even expect the worse, you will continue to strive for the best, why is that? Is it more than mere forlorn hope? — universeness

You are basically saying, and correct me if I am wrong, that metaphysics doesn't actually get at ontology (like Plato, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hegel, etc. thought): instead, it just is a useful model for experience. — Bob Ross

Metaphysics is not theoretical. — 180 Proof

Do you not feel connected to those in the past that fought/died/failed/succeeded to do what they could to change peoples lives for the better? — universeness

Or do you think they should not have bothered trying as our species is doomed anyway?

Metaphysics, again as I understand it, proposes criteria for discerning 'impossible worlds' (i.e. ways actuality necessarily cannot be) from 'possible worlds' (i.e. ways actuality can be) - btw, I'm an actualist, not a possibilist - thereby concerning the most general states of affairs; unlike the sciences, which consist of testing models of how possible transformations of specific, physical (class, or domain, of) states of affairs from one to another (can be made to) happen, and thus is explanatory (even if only approximative, probabilistic), metaphysics explains only concepts abstracted from, and therefore useful for categorizing, (experience of(?)) 'how things are', and does not explain any facts of the matter. Metaphysics is not theoretical. — 180 Proof

If the masses would just occupy the common ground between us all. — universeness

Just dumb matter. — simplyG

Discipline and letting go. — Amity

The interview is fascinating. — Amity

something can be real to me but not real to someone else — A Realist

... I think you must be confused. — unenlightened

There's no question that Individual-1 committed tax fraud ... — 180 Proof

What happened to US politics is not in any sense tribal. A political faction, a bunch of yahoos united by nothing more than license to oppress another group, a deluded minority of underachievers dreaming of reclaimed privilege, those with actual privilege too jealous to share - these are not tribes. — Vera Mont

... And if so does it point to a creator? — simplyG

The question is what came before?

... if maths can theoretically describe anything does that mean that reality is a subset of mathematics made manifest?

Or is maths completely independent of the physical universe ...

... and it just so happens that some mathematics is good at describing some aspects of the physical universe ...

... and in fact supersedes it?

... nature is order AND chaos, so if God is nature then God is both order and chaos. — praxis

I've got nothing to say
but it's okay

[T]he atheist says science did it (the big bang created the universe etc). — simplyG

The removal of money as a means of exchange and the removal of the money trick and religion, as the main means by which a nefarious few, can gain control over a divided and ill-informed global mass of people. — universeness

And in plain English? — Amity
