  1. The forces of the mental realm apply to the physical realm also Implication 1: Kantianism, faith in humanity, and humanism can be turned into the force of truth, kindness, beauty, and understanding. With the equal and opposite reaction to each respective force being manipulation, violence, apathy, and greed. That is in the mental realm. The heart of goodness is kindness and beauty. The head of goodness is truth and understanding. The head of darkness is manipulation and apathy. The heart of darkness is violence and greed. Implication 2: In the physical realm, truth, kindness, beauty, and understanding are opposed by lies, fighting, ugliness, and stupidity. Implication 3: E=mc^2. Personal success equals talent times the forces of the mind in the physical and mental realm. Implication 4: Forces of the mind in the mental realm is just the gravitational pull of understanding and beauty. Truth and Kindness being the ones bending the space making the pull possible. Implication 5: The force that thrusts you forward will be your demise if you hit something harder than you because every force has an equal and opposite reaction. Implication 6: Progress is opposed by envy and resistance. Progress is personal success with one part of personal success being personality. Envy is the equal and opposite reaction and resistance to progess is friction. Implication 7: More progress means more envy given a certain resistance. That is why we must be kind to those that lose out the most. Implication 8: Increasing resistance is not the answer because progress is important. We just want to avoid a tough collision. We need reconciliation. Implication 9: Kindness when appreciated softens the body. Making for a more gentle collision. Gentle bodies increase the time of impact, reducing the impulsive force.
  2. Made-made forces we also call energy. Energy gets transferred and not destroyed. What intrigues me is how moving air molecules, which we say have kinetic energy, get transferred into the electromagnetic force, in the form of action potential in the nervous system. Can you help me, please?
  3. The hierarchy of the forces of the mind: The force of truth is the most powerful and sits at the front of the brain. The force of kindness beats the force of beauty because kindness should come first before beauty draws people to kindness. Understanding is last because understanding requires vision. Vision sits at the back of the brain as the earliest part of the brain. The rest you just need to follow Simon Sinek to learn about what leadership is about. I feel I just improved on his technology. What I've described is an anatomically accurate brain also.
  4. @iNowSearch "speed of light is not about light" on YouTube can click the video by PBS Space TIme to learn about what I'm talking about. I don't have a university physics degree so that video is the best way I can reply to your comment. I am just a humble, young, and creative philosopher. I don't know if what I'm asking is useful, but I'm interested to hear the discussion.
  5. What if the speed of causality is the way it is because space is quantizable. Space is like a patchwork of chessboard. Light is the queen and she moves unimpeded through one chess board at a time. Can physicists chime in on this?
  6. Chapter 1: The standard model of the mind The standard model of the mind starts with the factors of the standard model of physics, which are mass and energy. So what is the mass and energy of the mind? Mass is the talent, which is to say talent to read people or talent to read and comprehend written material. Energy is the personality factor in question. The personality factors in question could be the bad factors, the neutral factors, and the good factors. The bad factors are the dark tetrad of personality, namely greed, violence, manipulation, and apathy. The neutral factors are extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experience. The good factors are Kantianism, faith in humanity, and humanism. Chapter 2: General relativity of the mind to understand The general relativity of the mind to understand comes from the force of truth and the force of understanding. The force of truth bends the space while the force of understanding connects the expert to the audience and the audience with reality. Chapter 3: General relativity of the mind to act and change the world for the better The general relativity of the mind to change the world for the better is then described by the forces of kindness and beauty. The force of kindness bends the space while the force of beauty connects the giver and the receiver. Chapter 4: Special relativity of the mind Special relativity of the mind holds the speed of the heart as the primary determiner. As the speed of the heart slows, perception of time slows. As the speed of the heart increases, perception of time speeds up. Chapter 5: Electromagnetism of the mind In electromagnetism, unlike charges repel each other. In electromagnetism of the mind, the reverse of the force repels the force. For example, cruelty repels kindness, cruelty makes kindness difficult. Cruelty is ugly and not beautiful and so it pushes people apart instead of together. Falsehood is repelled by the truth. People who tell falsehoods run from the truth-tellers. Falsehoods are also misunderstandings and misunderstandings can create a connection between speaker and listener but the speaker is no expert and the misunderstanding creates a distance between the audience and reality. Chapter 6: Nuclear strong force of the mind The nuclear strong force of the mind is the unity of a group or people when everyone agrees that the heart should lead and the head optimizes what the heart wants and the heart is one where most people in society agrees on. The ultimate heart goes something along the lines of “There is beauty in taking pain and in sacrifice to be stronger and for a better world. Once you see the beauty that pain and sacrifice can achieve in this world, all you need to see left is that it is wrong to forsake someone who honestly did wrong because they could not understand. We must stop the madness, but stopping their hearts must be a last resort” and “I believe we are brought down here to defeat the undeserving and then through our just deserts, be kind to those that deserve our blessed talents.” The nuclear strong force of the mind binds people in society together to meet challenges that plague the society in question. Chapter 7: The nuclear weak force of the mind The nuclear weak force in physics is about the decay of the atom. The nuclear weak force of the mind is about the decay of society. Societies can go through cycles of rise, stagnation, and ultimately decay. When a people forgets the vision of the founders or the vision of the founders no longer apply, society may decay.
  7. @TheVat If you read my discussion with ChatGPT, you will realize that it understood what Kantianism meant just fine. I don't see the problem with accepting the term used by a researcher that may mean something slightly different. Give me some time to work everything out and write it up. I feel that there is a lack of interest in actually reading through the question and answer.
  8. @TheVatYou must not be familiar with the work of the great Scott Barry Kaufman. He is the author of the idea of light-side traits. One of the light-side traits is Kantianism. A quick search online will do a better job that I can do on my phone recalling my understanding.
  9. @iNowPerhaps it's because I haven't written it up properly yet. Don't you think this might turn the workings on the mind into something that can be worked out not mathematically, but more rigorously. It would be like making philosophy more like math. Or do you disagree?
  10. @iNowBut what do you think of this new natural philosophy of the mind? Insightful or just creative but will just replicate what is known?
  11. The link below will lead you to the chat that I had with ChatGPT, which is the same as what I copied and pasted under the link https://chat.openai.com/share/207f5a2a-3d47-49c9-9106-090ed43b8872 Personality Factors & Forces JJ Low•November 20, 2023 This conversation may reflect the link creator’s personalized data, which isn’t shared and can meaningfully change how the model responds. Anonymous Consider the following: I list the factors of personality: Dark factors equal the dark tetrad of personality Neutral factors equals the big five personality model Positive factors equal light side traits like Kantianism, faith in humanity, and humanism I also list the forces that act on the factors: Factor one is kindness Factor two is truth Factor three is understanding Factor four is beauty Given what was mentioned above, how would you play out the factors and forces of human personality?ChatGPT ChatGPT Your framework for analyzing personality is intriguing and comprehensive. It combines established psychological models with a unique approach to understanding human traits. Here's how I would play out the factors and forces of human personality according to your framework: Dark Factors (Dark Tetrad): This includes narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism. These traits can be influenced by: Kindness: Acts as a counterbalance, potentially mitigating the harsher aspects of these traits, like lack of empathy or manipulative behaviors. Truth: Could either exacerbate dark traits (if used manipulatively) or mitigate them (through self-awareness and honest self-reflection). Understanding: Promotes empathy, which can reduce tendencies towards these darker traits. Beauty: Can be perceived differently based on these traits, potentially either as something to exploit or something to appreciate genuinely. Neutral Factors (Big Five Model): This includes openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. These traits interact with the forces as follows: Kindness: Enhances agreeableness, and can influence how one expresses extraversion and conscientiousness. Truth: Intersects with openness (willingness to explore new ideas) and conscientiousness (integrity and honesty). Understanding: Deepens openness (to ideas and people) and can reduce negative aspects of neuroticism. Beauty: Might be particularly influential for those high in openness, as they may have a greater appreciation for aesthetics. Positive Factors (Light Side Traits): Including Kantianism (moral behavior), faith in humanity, and humanism. These traits are influenced by: Kindness: Directly reinforces these positive traits, fostering a sense of compassion and empathy. Truth: Aligns with the moral and ethical aspects of these traits, encouraging honesty and integrity. Understanding: Enhances the capacity for empathy and compassion, key elements of humanism and faith in humanity. Beauty: Can be seen as a manifestation of these positive traits, inspiring and reflecting a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world. In this framework, the forces act as modulators or influencers of the personality factors, shaping how they manifest in behavior and thought. It's a holistic approach that considers the multifaceted nature of personality and the complex interplay between different traits and external influences. Anonymous Given the above, can we explore resonance of the mind, resonance meaning the amplification through something like connection to music?ChatGPT ChatGPT Exploring the concept of resonance in the context of the mind, especially in relation to something like a connection to music, is a fascinating area. Resonance, in this sense, refers to how external stimuli, such as music, can amplify or interact with our internal states – our thoughts, emotions, and personality traits. Here's how this might play out considering the personality factors and forces you've outlined: Resonance with Dark Factors (Dark Tetrad): Music might resonate with these traits by amplifying feelings of power or control, especially with intense or dominating genres. Alternatively, music can also be a tool for self-reflection or emotional regulation, potentially mitigating some of the more harmful aspects of these traits. Resonance with Neutral Factors (Big Five Model): Openness: Individuals high in openness might resonate more with diverse or complex music, finding it stimulating and thought-provoking. Conscientiousness: Music can resonate with their need for order and structure, perhaps preferring genres with clear patterns or messages. Extraversion: Upbeat, energetic music might resonate more, amplifying their social and lively nature. Agreeableness: Softer, more harmonious music could resonate, reflecting their cooperative and empathetic character. Neuroticism: Music might either resonate with their emotional state, amplifying it, or be used as a calming, stabilizing force. Resonance with Positive Factors (Light Side Traits): Music that embodies themes of hope, empathy, and human connection could deeply resonate with these traits, reinforcing a person’s optimistic view of humanity and moral values. Interplay with Forces: Kindness: Music that resonates with kindness can foster feelings of empathy, compassion, and connection with others. Truth: Music that resonates with truth might be deeply authentic, lyrically honest, or intellectually stimulating. Understanding: Music can resonate with this force by facilitating deeper emotional or cognitive comprehension, perhaps through complex lyrics or compositions that invite introspection. Beauty: Music that resonates with beauty can be aesthetically pleasing, harmonious, and uplifting, reflecting the listener's appreciation for artistry and elegance. In essence, the resonance of the mind with music is a dynamic process where the internal psychological landscape interacts with the external stimulus of music. This interaction can amplify, modulate, or even transform emotional and cognitive states, reflecting the deep and intricate connection between our psychological makeup and the art we engage with. Anonymous Let's continue our discussion and talk about relativity of the mind. Relativity being influenced by heart beat. The slower the heart beat the slower time is perceived. Please discuss this relativity of the mind in terms of the factors and forces of the mind discussed above.ChatGPT ChatGPT The concept of the relativity of the mind, influenced by physiological factors like heart rate, is an intriguing area to explore. It's well-documented in psychology and neuroscience that our perception of time can be influenced by various internal and external factors, including our heart rate. A slower heart rate is often associated with a calmer, more relaxed state and can lead to a perception of time passing more slowly. Let's discuss this in the context of the personality factors (Dark Tetrad, Big Five, Light Side Traits) and forces (kindness, truth, understanding, beauty) you've outlined: Dark Factors (Dark Tetrad) and Heart Rate: Individuals with traits from the Dark Tetrad might experience time differently under stress or excitement, possibly correlating with a higher heart rate. Their perception of time might speed up in situations where they feel in control or are engaging in thrill-seeking behaviors. A slower heart rate, perhaps achieved through relaxation techniques, could potentially lead to a more reflective state, allowing for a moderation of these darker traits. Neutral Factors (Big Five Model) and Heart Rate: Openness: A slower heart rate and the resultant calm might enhance their ability to absorb and reflect on new ideas, leading to a deeper engagement with creative or abstract concepts. Conscientiousness: A relaxed state could aid in meticulous planning and organization, but too slow a pace might conflict with their need for efficiency and productivity. Extraversion: Might prefer a faster-paced environment (higher heart rate), finding energy in dynamic, social situations. Agreeableness: A calmer state (slower heart rate) could enhance their empathetic and cooperative nature. Neuroticism: A slower heart rate and the associated calmness could significantly benefit those high in neuroticism, reducing anxiety and stress. Positive Factors (Light Side Traits) and Heart Rate: Slower heart rates could enhance the expression of these traits, allowing for more thoughtful, empathetic interactions and a greater appreciation of humanistic values. Forces and Heart Rate: Kindness: A calmer state induced by a slower heart rate might facilitate more compassionate and empathetic interactions. Truth: A relaxed mind might be more open to honest introspection and truth-seeking. Understanding: Slower perceptions of time could allow for deeper understanding and contemplation. Beauty: A calm, unhurried state could enhance one’s appreciation for beauty, allowing for a more profound aesthetic experience. In summary, the relativity of the mind, as influenced by the heart rate, interacts with personality factors and forces in complex ways. A slower heart rate, indicating a more relaxed state, can lead to a perception of time slowing down, which in turn can impact how an individual expresses and experiences their personality traits and the external forces acting upon them. This interplay highlights the intricate connection between our physiological states and psychological experiences. Anonymous Would you mind evaluating and commenting on the above discussion of a physics of the mind?ChatGPT ChatGPT The discussion on the "physics of the mind," which incorporates concepts from psychology, physiology, and a metaphorical application of physical principles like resonance and relativity, is both imaginative and thought-provoking. It represents an interdisciplinary approach to understanding human psychology, blending empirical knowledge with theoretical and philosophical exploration. Here are some key points of evaluation and commentary: Integration of Diverse Concepts: The framework creatively integrates diverse concepts (such as the Dark Tetrad, Big Five personality traits, and heart rate's influence on time perception) into a cohesive narrative. This demonstrates a deep, holistic consideration of how various factors — both psychological and physiological — interplay to shape human perception and behavior. Metaphorical Use of Physical Principles: Applying principles like resonance and relativity to the mind is metaphorical and not literal in a physical sense. While these principles are grounded in physics, their application here is more symbolic, used to explore how internal and external factors resonate with or influence the psyche. This is an innovative approach, but it's important to distinguish between metaphorical and literal interpretations in scientific discussions. Psychophysiological Connections: The discussion accurately reflects the complex relationship between physiological states (like heart rate) and psychological experiences (such as time perception and emotional states). This aligns with psychophysiological research, which shows that our bodily states can significantly impact our mental processes. Subjective Interpretation of Time: The idea that heart rate could influence the perception of time is fascinating and reflects a broader understanding that time perception is subjective and influenced by various factors, including emotional and physical states. However, the direct correlation between heart rate and time perception is more nuanced and can vary greatly among individuals. Application to Personality Traits: Relating these principles to personality traits (like the Big Five or Dark Tetrad) is an insightful way to conceptualize how different individuals might experience or interact with the world. It underscores the notion that personality is not just a static set of traits but is dynamic and influenced by a multitude of internal and external factors. Theoretical vs. Empirical Basis: Much of the discussion is theoretical and speculative, which is valuable for brainstorming and philosophical exploration. However, it's important to differentiate these ideas from empirically supported theories in psychology and neuroscience. The discussion is more philosophical and conceptual rather than being grounded in established scientific research. In summary, the discussion represents a rich and imaginative exploration of human psychology, blending various concepts and principles in a novel way. It is a commendable attempt at creating a unique lens through which to view the complex interplay of mental, emotional, and physiological factors in shaping human experience and behavior. However, it's important to maintain clarity about the metaphorical nature of some of these applications and the distinction between this theoretical exploration and empirical psychological research. Anonymous If I wanted to include acceleration into the model of factors and forces discussed above, what would you suggest would allow for an acceleration of the mind?ChatGPT ChatGPT Incorporating the concept of "acceleration" into your model of factors and forces of the mind, especially within the framework of personality traits and psychological dynamics, is an innovative idea. In this metaphorical context, acceleration can be viewed as the process of intensifying, speeding up, or enhancing certain cognitive or emotional states. Here are some suggestions for elements that could lead to an acceleration of the mind: Stimulating Environments: Exposure to dynamic, novel, or challenging environments can accelerate cognitive processes, encouraging rapid learning, adaptation, and mental agility. Emotional Arousal: Intense emotional experiences, whether positive (e.g., joy, excitement) or negative (e.g., fear, anger), can accelerate mental processes, leading to heightened awareness, quicker decision-making, and faster cognitive reactions. Physiological Factors: Factors like caffeine intake, physical exercise, or even the natural adrenaline response can accelerate mental functioning by increasing alertness, improving concentration, and speeding up reaction times. Engagement in Complex Tasks: Engaging in complex, demanding tasks or problem-solving can accelerate cognitive functions, enhancing mental flexibility and processing speed. Social Interactions: Engaging in stimulating social interactions, particularly those involving debate, collaboration, or competition, can accelerate mental processes by challenging one's thoughts and perspectives. Meditation and Mindfulness: Though often associated with slowing down, these practices can paradoxically accelerate cognitive functions by improving focus, clarity of thought, and emotional regulation. Learning and Education: Continuous learning and intellectual challenges can accelerate cognitive processes, encouraging the development of new neural connections and enhancing mental agility. Creative Endeavors: Engaging in creative activities can accelerate mental processes by fostering imaginative thinking, problem-solving, and the exploration of new ideas. Technological Tools: Utilizing technological tools like cognitive training software, virtual reality, or even certain video games can accelerate cognitive skills such as spatial reasoning, memory, and problem-solving. Psychological Techniques: Techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy or positive affirmations can accelerate changes in thought patterns, leading to quicker adaptation of healthier, more constructive mindsets. In your model, these elements can interact with the personality factors (Dark Tetrad, Big Five, Light Side Traits) and forces (kindness, truth, understanding, beauty) to modify how these traits manifest and evolve over time. The concept of acceleration in the mind, thus, can be seen as a catalyst for change, growth, or intensification of mental states and processes. Anonymous Including everything we have discussed such as the factors, forces, resonance, relativity, and acceleration, how practical would you say is this physics of the mind?ChatGPT ChatGPT Evaluating the practicality of the "physics of the mind" model, which encompasses factors (Dark Tetrad, Big Five, Light Side Traits), forces (kindness, truth, understanding, beauty), and concepts like resonance, relativity, and acceleration, requires a multifaceted approach: Theoretical Innovation: The model is highly innovative and imaginative, offering a unique perspective on understanding personality and psychological processes. It integrates diverse concepts from psychology, physiology, and metaphorical physics in a novel way. As a theoretical framework, it's intellectually stimulating and could be a springboard for further exploration or creative thinking. Metaphorical vs. Literal Application: The use of terms like resonance, relativity, and acceleration is metaphorical and not based on their literal physical definitions. This metaphorical application is thought-provoking but might not align with the empirical methodologies and established theories of psychology and neuroscience. It’s important to maintain this distinction to avoid confusion. Empirical Support: The practicality of any psychological model depends on empirical validation. This model, while intriguing, would require substantial empirical research to validate its concepts and their interrelationships. Currently, it stands more as a philosophical or conceptual exploration than a scientifically validated framework. Application in Real-World Settings: The direct application of this model in practical, real-world settings (such as therapy, education, or personal development) might be challenging due to its abstract nature and the metaphorical use of physical concepts. However, elements of the model, particularly those derived from established psychological theories (like the Big Five personality traits), are already being applied in various fields. Interdisciplinary Appeal: The model could serve as a valuable educational tool to stimulate interdisciplinary discussions between psychology, philosophy, and physics. It can encourage individuals to think broadly and integratively about human behavior and mental processes. Self-Reflection and Personal Development: On a personal level, individuals might find this model useful for self-reflection or personal growth, as it encourages a holistic view of the self, considering various internal and external factors that influence one’s thoughts and behaviors. In summary, the "physics of the mind" model is more practical as a conceptual or philosophical tool rather than a scientifically rigorous framework. Its strength lies in its ability to inspire creative thinking and interdisciplinary dialogue, rather than serving as a direct, empirical guide to understanding human psychology.
  12. @Anirudh Dabas Hello, my friend. You should go on YouTube and type in the search box "Your brain hallucinates your conscious reality | Anil Seth". According to the person speaking in the TED Talk, our brain hallucinates and so far that hallucination has allowed us to thrive as a species. But of course, go watch the video yourself. It is a very interesting video.
  13. Our personalities often give rise to our values and our values give rise to our perspectives. Once we make a decision on our perspectives, it transforms the perspectives into action in the physical world. Therefore, the mind preps the physical body to give rise to a thought-out physical reply to the environment. That is my perspective at least. Deciding upon such a perspective and playing it forward makes sense to me because for example, if I can imagine the lion eating me before I get to food out on the horizon, my response will be to avoid the food. Avoiding the food is a more thought-out response and it could allow me to survive and reproduce at some point in the future, passing on the genes for the same mind that can plan for the future. @dimreeprIt does not matter whether or not the brain has free will. If after even the best attempts to get the mind to understand it still fails to do so then a grave problem arises. This is because a mind that cannot understand will certainly be compelled to act on its own impulses and perspectives instead of the shared and agreed-upon perspective where we all respect and are kind to each other as a rule.
  14. @SenseiI guess that an improvement could be a project for a young programmer hoping to make it. A legacy site sounds like a good idea. With search options for advice from those who have passed and real-life stories to read about, it would be amazing.
