It seems like we'd be better off with the ten commandments because they are less ambiguous. — Andrew4Handel

Life is too important to be taken seriously. — Oscar Wilde

The continuous is made up of the discrete. It's the discrete that seems to be fundamental and not the continuous. Any 'flow' or excitation like a vibration, is a physical combinatorial. I include all energy forms when I use the word 'physical here. — universeness

Ergo, atheism can't say of itself that it's a lack of belief, oui? — Agent Smith

Physical nature is analogue, despite "Planck's quanta". Quanta are mental analogies to gaps in our knowledge of holistic physical systems. — Gnomon

I have very little knowledge of the subject and in fact, about Physics, in general. — Alkis Piskas

But the physical universe is analogue, not digital. — Alkis Piskas

But the physical universe is analogue, not digital. — Alkis Piskas

The claims of the "new atheists" (I haven't read them) seem directed more to religious institutions than to proving there is no God, but I may be wrong. Those I think are fair game — Ciceronianus

Last I checked, Pyrrhonism was in and of itself a weltanschauung and my agnosticism dovetails into it. — Agent Smith

[R]eligion generally is not what causes wars. — T Clark

atheistic worldview — T Clark

What about the category of ‘the sacred’? Is that also rejected? — Wayfarer

I sometimes reflect on the asymmetry between atheism and theism. — Wayfarer

In Enformationism, Information = Energy = Work = Causation — Gnomon

Physical change is called "Work". Mental change is called "Information". In the human brain, Mental Work burns a lot of energy, even though the Brain does not change its physical form.
— Gnomon

Explain why a physical brain physically "burns a lot of" physical "energy" (i.e. calories) if, as you suggest, "Information" is not "Work". Oh, btw, the human brain functions by constantly changing its neuronal configurations (re: neuroplasticity) that encode *wait for it, wait for it* new information (i.e. updating current information —> memories, expectations, predictions, feelings, learning-conditioning, etc). — 180 Proof

The laws of physics are human interpretations of what humans scientifically observe, but that does not mean that they necessarily, fully describe, the REALITY of the universe. I accept that, and I agree with that, but that does not mean we should therefore give succour to much much less reliable posits, such as those offered by theism or theosophists. — universeness

As one of the founders of quantum computing David Deutsch says (I paraphrase), 'The laws of physics enable our brains to generate ideas about the laws of physics such as quantum theory.' In other words, reality enables and constrains ideality (i.e. idealizations of reality), and not Gnomon's ass-backwards other way around. — 180 Proof

Gnomon is not qualified to critique the video : What If Physics IS NOT Describing Reality?. — Gnomon

Two simple forms of consequentialism are [ ... ] They are silent about the ‘means’ by which well-being is to be increased or suffering minimized. — Mark S

I feel sorry for you that that the act of abandoning religion left you unable to find joy/meaning in your life. But that is on you. — EricH

Gnomon seeks to find common ground between science and the esoteric and I think there is none. But am I making an incorrect judgement of what Gnomon is positing — universeness

Plato’s metaphysics is not systematic. It is problematic. It raises questions it cannot answer and problems that cannot be resolved. — Fooloso4
