Deluded subject. If anything, it just shows how prevalent racism is. Monocultures don't survive. Looking at you Israel.

Facts never change e.g. velocity of light is fixed in a vacuum. GR is a construct derived from facts, but as more facts emerge ,or are seen in a new light, it's description of that part of nature reduces in scope. In that sense, theories always seem to be contemporaneous in terms of their validity reflecting nature. I find 'truths' to be more tied to human experience than as scientifically objective information.

Facts are temporally permanent (always reflect reality), but truths are contemporaneous (correct at the time). As in science, the facts don't change, but the models (truths) can. Facts exist independent of an observer, but truths are human constructs.

What an oxymoronic subject title.

.... where the number of components/participants tends towards infinity. I have read. Like how many water molecules to make the liquid we know?

I thought it meant to be lost for words.

I thought emergence was the other way around: You can't predict the result, you can only afterwards say "A leads to B by observing what B is.

Wealthy people rarely got where they are by being generous.

If they dished out the yellow cards for grabbing more often, it would knock it in the head soon enough. It was nice to see an Argentinian to get two yellows, leading to red, for such arseholery.

When you respond as you are doing now, it is like talking into a vacuum and makes one feel like they are wasting their time, draining the momentum of conversations to a standstill.

Yeah, that's about right.

There's something narcissistic about calling oneself a 'philosopher'. Can't put my finger on it.

Right, ok.

If computers are glorified calculators, AI is a glorified computer. They aren't AI anyway, they are LLM's. I think still there is a few more evolutionary steps to happen before they become creative in the way humans do it. I mean, is an LLM capable of the equivalent of neuroplastic generation, even on a virtual software level?

It could well be news of the release of that paper I read about, or something similar..
