Shhh, it's a secret... 😉

Nietzche lamented that we killed god, you thought wrong; besides it was you that claimed an "external consciousness", which can only be supernatural, in every sense of the word. You really should try to learn a little bit, of the sources you profess, in order to prevent the inaccuracies of your thought's; illusionism, for instance, what do you think it means? And why is non-scientific automatically supernatural? My dog is neither. And more to the point, what does any of this have to do with consciousness

An interesting side question is; how many people would describe themselves as above average intelligence, and how that relates to statistical accuracy? I know I am... 🤞

What is crosstalk and how does it relate to consciousness? That makes no sense, in the context of this topic. If you listen to the link I provided, it talks about 'blind sight', in which a certain type of blind person can accurately (99%) point to a spot of light and believe they are just guessing; IOW they can see and point to the spot of light without a conscious awareness.

But it does design the initial conditions.

But all freedoms are constrained; we all have a boss...

As far as I can tell, he doesn't know what he's (assuming) talking about, because it's based on unqualified debaters; perhaps he should listen to this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p00gpxhb

Can anyone suggest an initial design/algorithm of an ethically benign marketplace? I think the closest example is within shariah law, as it relates to phiscal policy; clearly capitalism won't or can't work within a moral structure.

If war is inevitable, then so is peace.

It worked for quite a while in Europe, just bc Putin's a dick doesn't make it inevitable; imagine if China was persuaded to side with the West for economic reason's, rather than embroiled in Trump's sanction war's; I rather doubt that he would have dared even start this (Ukrainian) war.

There's plenty of excuses, but war 'and peace' is a process; if too many people think an excuse is a valid reason, then war is a self fulfilling professy (I'm sure I've spelt that wrong); I'm not talking utopia, I'm talking one, 'economic', step at a time.

I think the important question of this thread is, why is war inevitable? In a world that can potentially feed and house, almost everyone; why should we accept an excuse to fight, where no reason exists?

me too...

that is the question...

What is the decision that matters?

that's not what I said, besides that's another question. how far into the future are We talking?

i mean that we can't know the future.

it's philosophical bc the fact is, we cant know what will be unknowable.

😇

what fact?

that's the philosophical implication of this thread.

there are things we can never know...

this reminds me of Turtles all the way down , If we don't/can't know, then what is the point of asking? Infinite is just another paradox that can't be natural...

who else can i ask?

there's a smallest planc, why not me?
