Easy to say when you have a foundation that holds all your wealth and you only pay marginal income taxes. That's pure marketing. Anarcho-capitalism is a better idea.
I mean that rules could be constantly changing in an ad-hoc manner, in such a way that to an external observer that is not the decision maker, the rules would be chaotic and completely senseless. Like the dream: there's…
There's no reason for atoms to even exist man. The fact they exist and that they follow a specific rule system that is based off of abstractions is absolutely mind-boggling. Your argument is also inching towards a kind…
Ok but isn't a formal system also an abstract logical structure? Why are atoms actually following truths from logical systems? The problem remains. Wigner clearly delineates the problem on his famous paper about the…
Mathematics is constantly proving things true. Physics also has theorems, for instance, the Stone–von Neumann theorem. The scientific method is a method for testing of hypotheses, yes, but that is simply one way of…
Again, there's no apparent connection between logic and mathematical truths and the universe. Moreover, logic and mathematical truths are causally inert: they cannot be a cause to a physical effect. Yet it appears like…
There's no causation line from abstractions such as mathematics to material effects. The fact material conditions follow abstract conditions is a very particular problem and different from the one you aim to solve with…
"Why" is a question that is aims to answer the cause of a property or effect. Why do apples fall from trees? Gravity. Why does gravity exist? Because matter bends space. Why does matter bend space? We don't know yet.…
Ok - but there was a why question, and now there's another one. Those are questions that we can and do answer. Therefore your initial statement is simply false.
The anthropic principle doesn't explain why it is, in actuality, intelligible. It's only a constraint on what couldn't be the case given we exist. It's clearly a much deeper question, given even Wigner wrote a paper…
That's absolutely not true. Science and mathematics are constantly placing forward why questions. Placing an arbitrary barrier on the questions that can be asked is called dogma. Example: Noether's Theorems explain why…
God. Coming from a former atheist that became an idealistic theist after reading enough quantum mechanics and math. Ultimately it's the only plausible explanation as to why mathematics applies to the physical world.
That's pretty different though: the structure of mathematics seems to be more related to truth than a chair. Notice that even the universe follows that structure.
It's not about technology. It's about the monopoly of the government as it relates to taxation and money over its land. China would do the same.
TikTok steals kids attention and is completely useless for society. Sorry, but fuck it. We don't need more useless apps that steal peoples' attention span.
It's like the cold for young people. Stop being a pussy. Everything can kill including driving. We are all going to die.
A fourth solution: force the boomers and vulnerable to retire. Let's bail them out. Let the young take control of the economy. Everybody wins.
Oxygen and the atmosphere.
It means someone edited it. As everyone knows by now.
Humans are notoriously good at coming up with bullshit explanations for both random/statistical & deterministic phenomena. Why do we want AI to do the same? "Trust"? Please. I work in finance (investment strategy;…
Lol @ software engineers complaining about ageism and at the same time thinking retraining a 50yo truck driver is a reasonable solution
Absolutely not. Hence why I rarely if ever drink, and only smoke pot at night before going to sleep. But it should be my choice -- even if I wanted to start IVing heroin :)
I am, because that's the main issue right now. While you may live in CA, I currently live in TX and can go to jail for years for smoking a plant. Tell me, how should I react to an article that could be used as an…
But the conversation we should be having is legalization. Right now it is still illegal in most states, and people are going to jail on a daily basis because of it. Tell me, how does an article like this improve the…
