Introduction to Hilbert Space (from a physics perspective)** I prefer Halmos' book.
I never implied that in my comment.
You do know that organic chemistry will quickly degrade right? And they have no memory, correct? So you're telling me that compounds floating around self-assemble into a factory and the information necessary for the…
Now imagine that at every time step you also flip bits randomly on your own code. That's what needs to be done to achieve what was achieved.
Oh yeah, I've never heard of Abiogenesis, something that is taught to middle schoolers. Lol. There's no evidence for the above: chemical processes decay, time works against the chemistry.
I'm still interested in any viable theory as to how random chemical processes are able to garner enough information in their own structure to replicate themselves. That is, Von Neumann showed us that to have a…
Again, and last time: the fact that you can use mathematics to do physics to the point we've been able to do implies something about the universe. You should think about it a bit more.
The anthropic principle has nothing to do with why complex numbers are necessary for doing quantum mechanics. Complex numbers are purely abstract objects and yet are necessary for giving a proper account to the real…
If your set of beliefs implies that your set of beliefs are not true, that's a contradiction. In this case, thinking all of reality is material implies that you cannot believe your thoughts, including the thought that…
Materialism is a self-defeating worldview because its implications are that you cannot trust it. The whole purpose of a worldview is to be able to trust it as one trust one's own eyes - because a good mental model of…
If the mathematics is not a priori, one must explain why it is the case particles follow particular mathematical laws instead of moving about randomly without any particular logic to them. How do these elementary…
Can you explain why it is not the case everything happens at random? Why these particles seem to follow physical laws? Realism/Anti-Realism has no bearing to the matter. I personally think mathematics is a priori and…
If you cannot trust your belief system then maybe you should change it, instead of calling yourself an NPC. It's clear circumstance and your memory will impact your present - that doesn't mean you did not choose to…
I don't claim to know anything before it either. All I'm claiming is that before whatever happened, there must have been a mathematical structure that allowed it to happen following certain physical laws. That's just a…
I disagree with your claim there's no free will and one's thoughts are out of one's control. I do not believe all of our actions and behaviors are determined. That's, like, just your opinion man ;) Where determinism…
Uhh... I proved that it's false because it leads to contradictions. That is literally a reductio ad absurdum - a proper proof. It's a transcendental argument against materialism. In addition to it, I personally reject…
The whole idea of materialism is simply a bad and inconsistent worldview. If you start under the assumption that materialism is true you have to also eat the idea that free will doesn't exist, and that you can't trust…
