  • Can theory of nothing challenge God?
    In my opinion, the concept of god encapsulates both all and none, so it's not really a challenge as it is an amendment.
  • What is metaphysics? Yet again.
    I would call it an approach towards the truth of existence.
  • What is Information?

    I would argue that it's not that it doesn't exist, but rather that it doesn't necessarily have a defined form. Instead, it can be encoded and understood in multiple ways, with its basis being reality.
  • Objective Morality: Testing for the existence of objective morality.
    Yes, I'm not very sure as to how current technology will be able to do this with Chaos Theory as well. It could be a possibility in the future though. Regarding what you said about math and its relationship to morality, this is objective morality we're talking about, so there might be some basis in using it. I'm far too inexperienced to think of any specific methods though.

    I also personally thought that linguistics had more to do with the expression of ideas rather than the idea itself. Of course, certain ways of expressing ideas could yield promising results that can help us get better at approximating the actual answer. I was wondering what your thoughts on using linguistics for this subject were.
  • Objective Morality: Testing for the existence of objective morality.
    Yes, I think the field that studies such occurrences is called Chaos Theory.
  • Objective Morality: Testing for the existence of objective morality.

    Of course. It is always possible to attempt to approach such a thing, I think. However, how would we know for certain whether or not even small deviations from the answer won't result in catastrophic implications that can completely change the end-result? I'm not trying to shut your argument down, but I'm wondering if this is the case.
  • Objective Morality: Testing for the existence of objective morality.
    I personally think that there are only two ways to reach objective morality. One would be by knowing absolutely nothing (and I mean it in absolutely every sense of the word), and the other would be by knowing everything possible. In both cases, I believe that they'll be rendered as non-sentient. The nature of life prevents us from being able to reach either of these states and thus, objective morality is impossible for humans.
  • Loneliness?


    Thank you. I look forward to what might come here.

    Yes. I agree, I have to go with the flow of life without having constant thoughts of what the future may hold. I guess the reason I feel lonely the most is that it's difficult to tell who might also be dealing with something similar and who wouldn't be. Everyone acts similarly to a certain degree in public, so I feel that the chances of being able to find someone who would attempt to understand and reciprocate such notions seem nonexistent. It makes me wonder if the interpersonal connection that I desire would really exist, or if it's just some myth I've forced myself to believe out of sheer optimism.
