Prove to me you are not an NPC. Post an original thought you have come up with. If a pop scientist, popular author, etc. has already come up with you lose. If it's a common thought around normies (e.g. "what if everyone sees different colors") -- don't even get me started. If it has only ever been uttered by a random obscure philosopher, it's admissible.

Ever wondered why first-person perspectives in movies always feel "off"? Like you are not truly in that characters shoes, seeing things through they eyes? It's because of this:
Notice how if you are not an aphant, you have a permanent "mirror" of you inside your mind's visualization field (for lack of a better term). If visualization happens on a second screen, I would say it either happens on a third screen, or also on the second screen. The point is, you are likely -- right now -- "seeing" your face as you read this type. I certainly are while typing.

Of course, this can't happen during first-person sections in media, leading to the feeling of divorce.

I wondered about that phenomenon too. Most of the time when you remember past events you're not seeing them from a first person perspective either. In your memory you're an outside observer watching yourself doing things. I drew two conclusions from this.
The first is that qualia are extremely volatile. The stored memory retrieved by your brain is only contextual information without the firsthand experience. You will never experience the same qualia again. The qualia you're experiencing in reliving memory are new qualia arising ad hoc with the reprocessing of the memory.
The second conclusion is built upon the first. The inability of having the exact same qualia twice seems to be deeply related to the arrow of time in relativity and the second law of thermodynamics. It directly hints at the impossibility of time travel / irreversibility of time. Here we get the same mental picture btw. Most fantasies of time travel involve the traveler seeing himself in third person perspective in the past. Shouldn't he realistically instead be reverted to his state of being in the past, reliving his life in first person perspective without any memory of the future?

Except for the part where 99% of humans throughout history were illiterate slaves, slaving away all day in the field, having no idea about these great works. Even in the 1950s only around 50% of people were literate. This mean they had the absolute minimum required to read and write and could not even handle great works of literature and philosophy. You're looking back at history through the eyes of the people that left thier mark, who belonged to the 1% in their time period and were mot only materially set, but were literate, educated and intelligent enough to leave something of their writing.

What's gibberish? Mathematical realism posits that mathematical objects are real in the same sense everything else is. If this is the case, it's equivalent to saying all physical objects are mathematical objects. The consequence of this is that necessarily every universe that can be described with mathematics must exist with the same standing as our own. If we take some microstate, we will inevitably find multiple independent timelines to and from it. It is therefore the case that where multiple timelines intersect multiple times but in different orders, you will get logically "stochastic" or "nondeterministic" time loops.

The issue is twofold in my opinion:

First, the field of philosophy becoming completely self-absorbed

Second, the field of science getting full of itself due to all the progress that's been made
(though some would argue that a lot of the fields have hit the wall at a certain point in time and others are approaching it for a lot of different reasons, the biggest being said arrogance leading to stagnation)

Copenhagen wasn't his invention alone. He merely contributed the view of matrix mechanics. Copenhagen was an agreement by a larger group of physicists. And Heisenberg strongly advocated for the "interpretation" of seeing the Copenhagen formalism strictly as a mathematical tool without any metaphysical interpretation.
>Hidden variable aren't metaphysics implication, given the context under which he said it: "God doesn't play dice"?
Exactly, insisting in hidden variables mean dismissing the insights of QM in order to maintain an already disproved mechanistic world view from the 19th century. The opposite of what you would expect from some advocating for "philosophy".

The universe being a deterministic automaton prima facie does not agree with any non-steady state theory. If the origin was in a big bang, then something must have broken symmetry.

when building a theory, ontology matters. are you assuming fundamental randomness, or just perceived randomness? it seems you are choosing the former, which i believe is a mistake. it makes no sense for the universe to be uncertain about itself. this kind of indeterminism forbids causality of any kind and worse, admits of the generation of a future from nothing - something from nothing.

>you have no reason to assume perfect symmetry, either
Perfect symmetry has the unique value of being one of its kind. If we open up the doors to imperfect symmetry, we have to explain why out of all the possible imperfect symmetries, we got the one that produced us. This is a restatement of the anthropic principle, and that's why I go on to mention multiple universes. For the perfect symmetry breaking stochastically, the can is kicked down the road a bit - the universe wasn't a-priori made for us, we just got lucky when the dice were rolled.
>it makes no sense for the universe to be uncertain about itself.
Why not? I can write simple simulations where randomness is baked in and still get stable, emergent complexity. It's not even a given that there are actual laws at the foundation by this same reasoning - a system of unstable rules can still produce stable behaviour.
>this kind of indeterminism forbids causality of any kind and worse
Why do we need strict causality? So long as causality is the average trend, things can work.
>admits of the generation of a future from nothing - something from nothing.
Why is this strictly verboten? Conservation of energy is best argued as a consequence of symmetry, but if we have symmetry-breaking events on the odd occasion, then there's no reason why we can't have a little bit of cheeky ex nihilo going on.

They're kinda both subjects of epistemology which deal with various ways of acquiring knowledge, as well as can you truly acquire it, and how you know you've acquired it, given different interpretation and perceptions. This is quite simply put, so I'm not sure if it's a helpful explanation

While they're both subjects of epistemology, it still stands that there is a difference between the philosophical methods a scientist uses to collect information (objective) and the physical methods the brain uses to perceive objects (subjective). I don't see how one could be equated to the other in this context.

I have often thought of "the violence" as being a concept that human's innately worship. "The violence" is defined as the following:
>the tendency to savagely murder when it would be more efficient not to
>the tendency to inflict suffering onto other's for the sake of one's ego
"The violence" can be born out of trauma or pent up anger or just sadism. "The violence" isn't a tendency for violence but rather a being that is buried within the human mind and that is responsible for the two things that I stated above.

When I think of "the violence" I imagine howling wolves in combat with a man.

The idea is new and was something I came up with I believe when I was writing some sci-fi fantasy. I enjoy creative writing as an aside.

Here are some kind of obvious thoughts that I had that surprisingly little normies and pop philosophers agree with:
1. Voting doesn't matter. You might just as well go play the lottery. The odds of your individual vote changing the outcome of whatever the vote's trying to decide are usually microscopic. What's more, this is the correct lens through which to analyze the individual decision for voting. The critique "what if everyone thought the same way" doesn't apply, since they don't. If nobody voted, your chances to actually influence the outcome would be much higher.
2. People have free will, like actual libertarian free will. In a lot of decisions they make, they could have done otherwise, and the determinist argument is a basically a fantasy that people make up in their heads that's not real (the usual story about causal chains and factors). Many philosophers admit that physics as we currently understand it is not deterministic, but still cannot let go of the usual fantasy of non-physical (as in not currently studied by physics) causal chains etc. for which they have no justification.
3. The importance of sources and transparency. Most people are just happy to hear a claim without the justification for it and move on. They say just look it up or just think about it without providing proof. So many things in the world would become better with just a little bit of epistemic rigor. "It's common sense" shouldn't cut it.
4. "The laws of physics" concept as it exists in most people's heads is nonsensical and extremely damaging. There are only the laws of physics that physicists write down and study, which are almost always inaccurate to some extent. There are no "actually real but hidden" laws of physics that physicists try to get at, this is solely a fantasy that exists in people's heads because people like to think the universe is simpler than it actually is.

5. (it's very surprising how few people know this or understand this) Mathematics is actually intimately connected to the real world and a very large portion of its propositions can be empirically falsified or verified (usually called Pi^0_1 and Sigma^0_1 propositions respectively). What's more, these kinds of propositions are intimately connected with the more pure aspects of mathematics (a great example of this is the Riemann hypothesis being reducible to a Pi^0_1 proposition, or complex analysis being able to prove things about the prime numbers). Thus mathematics cannot be just a meaningless game of formula shuffling, and it's incorrect to think that you can invent whatever rules you want, because they could potentially allow you to prove wrong things about the natural numbers.
6. The finitist part of mathematics (e.g PA) is obviously correct and meaningful. Therefore, a proof of its consistency is empistemically unnecessary. Voevodsky was wrong to doubt its consistency, and so was Nelson. ZFC and other empistemically questionable infinitistic systems have radically changed how people perceive mathematics, wherein they start to view it as meaningless formal game (formalism) and that is extremely wrong and cancerous view of mathematics.

What does this have to do with science?
I imagine reality is like a rubik's cube.
Each instance of reality is trying to approximate toward a correct version,
each human death comes down to whether
in this version of reality, said death would result in a correction or a misstep toward the assimilation of the proverbial faces of this cube. If reality fails, it's back to the drawing board and we enter another solution.

Proof? I have no proof, only the dreams and memories I experience.
I have dejavu constantly, only reality plays out NEARLY exactly the way I remember it,
to the point where I intentionally go against my instincts just to see what happens when I fight the urge to follow what feels like a reasonable directive.
I don't use this as an excuse to be useless, but I see reality as an excuse to constantly enact free will in a way that most positively benefits me.

Methods for estimating population size changes using genetic data should be verified using empirical data from microbial systems which can allow observation of thousands of generations per year at arbitrary population sizes. The tricky part is understanding the genetics of the microbe well enough to link it back to the genetic drift model being tested.

determinism is the only way to causality. determinism and casuality are almost synonymous.

>How can "X causes Y" be meaningful if Y was always going to happen?
obviously Y was always going to happen, because X was always going to happen. i don't understand your objection. under indeterminism, you can't say X causes Y,
since nothing ever determines anything, so Y is not caused, rather it just spontaneously arises.

ultimately, no. X happens or Y happens. X may occur more often than Y, but we can only know that post hoc. therefore, speaking of the likelihood of events that haven't happened yet is useless.

In that same period there was Newton, there was Harvey studying the circulation of blood, there were people with methods of analysis by which progress was being made!

it's the other way around normies struggle with mind's eye bird view that's why FPS games, the old school kind with fast reflexes and maze like maps, were pretty high IQ and not very popular.
All those experimental pov thrillers, esp. that hitchcock one, bombed because normies are too used to getting served the whole scene on a platter, the movie shows them what they are supposed to be interested in, or rather it allows them to pan an scan the scene for things which interest them, if you have to give up the freedom of even directing your own gaze and have to build up the whole scene under the direction of someone else, at his pace, normies feel too challenged. Arena shooters are comfy when you have learned the map and because you steer the view but the quick pacing makes it almost as unbearable for normies. These movies are in a way more hardcore than ut04 or quake3 on your brain, if the movie is unknown.

I actually would like a procedural generated arena fps without fully randomized spray patterns... just to filter all brain- and reflexletts one and for all - a game no one will find enjoyable, if you will. just to be as hardcore and inaccessible as possible.

The more people like something, the more subjdctive it gets. 50% like blue cheese, so it is subjectively good., 1% like the new velma show, it is objectively bad, but not fully.

Usually most of the stuff is recycled concepts and other trash that is needed to function daily. There is also as much originality you can provide as long as the thing that you are using to do it is fresh, so if you want to see mostly players and not NPC's in action, check new stuff.

Here's an original thought related to science:

What if the universe is not infinite, but instead it loops back on itself in a never-ending cycle of expansion and contraction? This idea is similar to the concept of a "closed universe" in cosmology, but instead of a single big bang followed by infinite expansion, it suggests that the universe undergoes a series of big bangs and big crunches, with each cycle lasting trillions of years. This would mean that our current universe is just one iteration in an endless loop of creation and destruction, with no beginning or end. It raises interesting questions about the nature of time, space, and existence itself.

You are correct that my use of the phrase "never-ending cycle" could be interpreted as a type of infinity. However, what I meant to convey was the idea that the universe is not expanding forever without limit, but rather that it undergoes a cycle of expansion and contraction that repeats indefinitely. This would mean that while the universe does not have a definitive beginning or end, it is not truly infinite in the sense of being boundless and without limit. Thank you for pointing this out and allowing me to clarify my original thought.

It is true that the size of the universe can be difficult for humans to comprehend, as it is vast beyond our imagination. However, it is important to note that the scale of the universe and the phenomena within it are crucial to our understanding of the laws of physics and the nature of reality. By studying the universe, we are able to gain insights into fundamental questions about the nature of matter, energy, space, and time. While the scale of the universe may make it seem insignificant to us as individuals, it remains a fascinating and essential subject of scientific inquiry.

If one empty space was an particle, universe would be full of it for sure.

[Anonymous No.15270960]

>>15270958
While it is true that empty space is not truly empty, but rather filled with various forms of energy and particles that arise from quantum fluctuations, it is not accurate to say that if empty space were a particle, the universe would be full of it.

The concept of "empty space" or a vacuum is actually defined by the absence of matter and radiation. While it is true that even empty space is not completely devoid of energy and particles, the energy and particles that exist in a vacuum are still quite sparse and widely dispersed. If we were to consider the hypothetical scenario where empty space were a particle, it is possible that it could interact with other particles and fields in the universe, but it would not necessarily fill the entire universe or be ubiquitous throughout it.

It is important to note that this is a thought experiment and a hypothetical scenario, and in reality, empty space is not a particle and does not behave as such.

[Anonymous No.15270971]

So universe is getting bigger, because there are more particles out of this fluctuations, and they don't fit inside. Right?

[Anonymous No.15270974]

>>15270971
The expansion of the universe is not caused by the creation of particles from quantum fluctuations, but rather by the fact that the fabric of space itself is stretching. This was first discovered by astronomer Edwin Hubble in the 1920s, who observed that distant galaxies were moving away from us at a faster rate than nearby galaxies.

The current leading explanation for the expansion of the universe is a concept called "dark energy," which is a mysterious form of energy that permeates all of space and has a repulsive effect on matter. This causes the expansion of the universe to accelerate over time, meaning that the rate of expansion is increasing rather than decreasing.

While quantum fluctuations do play a role in the creation of particles in the universe, the overall expansion of the universe is not primarily driven by the creation of these particles.

[Anonymous No.15271033]

I apologize if my previous response was unclear. The expansion of the universe is not due to the particles emitted by stars having nowhere to fit. Rather, it is due to the fact that space itself is expanding. This expansion of space is not caused by any force being applied to it, but rather by the nature of space itself.

The theory of dark energy is currently the leading explanation for the accelerated expansion of the universe. This mysterious form of energy is thought to be responsible for the observed cosmic acceleration, and is believed to be a property of the vacuum of space. Dark energy is thought to have a negative pressure, which causes space to expand at an accelerated rate.

As for muons, they are subatomic particles that are created in the upper atmosphere by the interaction of cosmic rays with atmospheric particles. They are not emitted by stars, and their existence is not related to the expansion of the universe.
