You mean will evolution make us stupid? — tim wood
Possible? — Eugen
So things like traveling from a universe to another or even create universes, understand the infinite and live forever are simply ''a dog bark'' for a super-evolved being? — Eugen
So our brains are not capable to comprehend everything that is comprehensible yet? — Eugen
As I tried to explain: What is comprehensible must be rooted in reality.
A color-blind cannot understand the difference between colos. He may understand that non-color-blind can distinct the look of objects. He can understand the theory of wavelengths and understand why non-color-blind can distinct those colors. So he only can distinct those "colors" with the help of some appartus.
If I just started to call some things "abezido" and some things "nuralemina" you will never understand.
Edit: And Caear would likely understand the cellphone - you would just have to take the long route of explanation. — Heiko
Comprehensible to whom? I would understand the difference between abezido and nuralemina :DBut the substance of my question lies exactly in the issue of our capability to comprehend every *comprehensible* thing of the reality, or if reality has things that aren't comprehensible to our mind but comprehensible to a more evolved brain. — Eugen
I don't see how humanity or any other super-evolved civilization would ever be capable of inventing a political system totally different from any other political system we have already discovered so far, because I consider that what we call extreme left - center - extreme right + total anarchy and everything in-between represent 100% of all possible political systems. — Eugen
What if our brains develop to be interlinked with one another through some as yet to be evolved mechanism? For such a social mind, existing socio-politico modalities might appear completely meaningless. The management of such a group mind likewise might not bear any resemblance to what we now recognize as politics. — Pantagruel
Than your answer to my question would be no and I personally agree with you. So why do you think that way, what are your arguments? — Eugen
Would it? I see it this way: Imagine an intelligence being present in two parallel universes at the same time. We would never really get why it tried to evade invisible obstacles. — Heiko
So your whole question breaks down to a speculation if there could be something that is per definition irrelevant to us as it has no reality for us perceived by some fictional super-brains. — Heiko
But being present in two universes at the same time is something that makes sense to us, we would understand this state, while a dog cannot understand us playing a videogame. — Eugen
The tale makes sense, yes. This is just like the color-blind without any apparature. He does not really get the difference between colors. — Heiko
The lack of understanding in QM comes from the paradoxes of it and from the lack of willingness to admit that the way we're dealing with science from the observer perspective is subjective, therefore wrong. This is why QM has so many paradoxes. — Eugen
I tend to the opinion that we do not understand those as they are real corner-cases that are largely irrelevant to our existence. Hence they lack reality.But are these truly understandable things, or no matter how evolved our brain gets we'll never grasp the true essence or these very abstract things? — Eugen
I am not really into those speculations but even a quantum-amoeba could have a better understanding of it's normal environment than we do. — Heiko
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
