In this ranking of how complex an object actually is, where would you put a clockwork? I think there is a point to be made to put it anywhere — no manmade object comes even close to the intelligence to natural things like a biological thing like a leaf (when you look at the cellular level) or maybe even a rock. So that could be reason to put it very low. On the other hand it expresses a kind of meta intelligence — the object in a way is an expression of awareness of reality. But is this moreso a secondary attribute, or is it somehow backed into an object in an actual way? edit: I put the pure materials of the clockwork next to the rock as a guess. Is the whole clockwork put together more complex then just the material by itself because it is a machine which is created through a relationship with/ a consciousness of reality? Its a real practical question btw. I want to view targets for remote viewing and this is one question I want to ask "how complex is the target?".

These real life war films are kind of addicting. Kind of questions my self image, oh well..

Oh yeah, I always found the force strong in homeless bottle collectors.

Never watched it with the translation. 4:57

When I think about why I want to do acting, its because of THAT. I would have loved to play her exploding from anger. Expressing such intensity. Great voice lines, I think there is some potential to express her anger in that moment more creatively. But really I am just building on top of the foundation that this show has created, they did a good job.

A lot of unproductive thoughts come up as soon as I dont take my adhd medication.

Also I partially dont have a Plan B. I am too old to get accepted to an acting school.

I checked out the WhatsApp Group of my old theatre club yesterday, in particular the pictures of the members. I am finally taken out. The old theatre club still has such a massive grip on me emotionally though. I have so much anger. I knew I couldnt look at the emotional pain of the loss of the old theatre club straight because I needed to protect myself emotionally. I had so much love for this place, looking at the reality that all my dreams crashed and that I will never have it is just too much to accept. Maybe thats why I cant let go off my anger.

Its raining. Maybe a blessing in disguise .. LESS PEOPLE

RV feels pretty hard, maybe because of that. Whenever I have something on my mind it makes spiritual practice very hard to impossible.

Going to the social spot will be though today. Chances arent low someone will confront me. But I need to fight for my spot there.

@Yimpa Nice to have you back! I hope you sorted some of that stuff out in your time off. ----- Lets continue to chat on PM or another thread if you like.

@Yimpa You are back! You hop on and off ...

I have got a bunch of anxiety, WOW

I am MUCH more nervous going out today then usual. I think it has to do with not having a university partner I am constantly in touch with.

If I created a super advanced machine which would rule over a natural ecosystem, lets say I created a super AI on earth which should rule over all organic beings and would leave the planet, I think at some point organic beings will always win over machines if machines dont get new input because organic beings can always adapt in unforseeable natural ways.

Yes. But can a clear line be made? Even if I created the mouse trap and then leave it, the intelligence continues to work on its own. Where does a human begin and end? A part of human is his making.

And yet "infinitely less complex" things can beat infinitely more complex things.

Thats not what I am asking. The materials of the clockwork dont matter. Of course if a clockwork is made out of more complex material it is on the whole more complex. But what I am asking is, is a clockwork more complex because it is a clockwork aka is a machine? Or you could say it like this, are all the materials of the clockwork put together more complex then the materials of the clockwork lying there by themselves? The idea being that a clockwork captures reality in a way. People experience the day and night cycle on the planet and then built a watch capturing that process. You need to be pretty conscious to experience the night and day cycle and a clock expresses that higher level of consciousness. All machines express higher consciousness in a way. A fork expresses consciousness of reality because the design is created in relation to the outside world. Same for a machine gun, a table, etc. ... Does that expression of higher consciousness make the watch or any machine inherently more complex then just the material alone or is is just us giving meaning to it? If it does make the thing inherently more complex by how much? Materials have all kind of complex and amazing traits, a cell is more complex then anything humans built. But also despite that humans dominate the earth with their unholy machines, because their machines are formed with a lot of consciousness of reality in mind. A clock captures the day and night cycle on earth as a complex trait vs lets say the bending properties of a tree trunk. The machinery behind the bending properties of the tree trunk is probably more complex then the machinery in the clock, but they capture completly different levels of consciousness of reality. If that counts for anything.
