You are forgiven. Now, I was contemplating about the post that Humans are Epistemogical Pigs. So the magic question is : How to built a epistemology of a more advanced being than a Pig, not even a human, but an Alien. Alien Epistemology. ???

Ok, I think this could be the sort of video that would make @hardkill enter in more Doomeritis. But lets see it with an Objective mind. Anyway i felt some Green Stage SJW vibes from the youtuber.

Wow, Imagine that this movie may br based on real facts. This girls knocking doors till one day they open the Pandora box of knokcking in a crazy man door

True. Reading the book " The Dawn Of Everything" By David Graeber and David Wengrow. Humans are Slaving each other since the Dawn of Times. Appaling to know that even before White people slave the North American Indigenous the indigenous were slaving themselfs already. Karma is a Bitch.

Was just to make an advertisement of her Brilliant.org product. Hehe Joking . I like her sense of humor, my quarks vibe with her quarks and my strings too.

This is a small conversation with Claude. I did it fast but Claude gave me good contemplative material. Could I make better refinement here? I'll explore some of the most profound and enduring questions in epistemology, the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature, origin, and limits of human knowledge. 1. What is Knowledge? The fundamental epistemological question is defining knowledge itself. While traditionally defined as "justified true belief," philosophers like Edmund Gettier have challenged this classic definition, highlighting scenarios where justified true belief might not constitute genuine knowledge. 2. Can We Ever Know Anything with Absolute Certainty? This question challenges the very foundations of human understanding. Philosophers like René Descartes explored radical doubt, wondering if anything can be known with complete certainty. His famous "cogito ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am") was an attempt to find one indubitable truth. 3. How Do We Acquire Knowledge? This splits into two primary philosophical approaches: - Rationalism (championed by Kant and Descartes): Knowledge comes primarily through reason and innate ideas - Empiricism (developed by Locke and Hume): Knowledge comes primarily through sensory experience 4. What are the Limits of Human Perception and Understanding? Philosophers like Immanuel Kant argued that our understanding is fundamentally shaped by our cognitive structures, meaning we can never perceive "things-in-themselves" but only as they appear to us. 5. Is Objective Knowledge Possible? This profound question asks whether human knowledge can ever truly be objective, or if it's always colored by: - Personal perspective - Cultural conditioning - Inherent cognitive biases - Linguistic limitations 6. How Do We Distinguish Between Justified Belief and Mere Opinion? This question explores the criteria that elevate a belief from a subjective opinion to a defensible, rational position. 7. Can We Trust Our Senses? Philosophers have long questioned the reliability of sensory perception. Optical illusions, dreams, and hallucinations suggest our senses can be profoundly misleading. 8. What is the Relationship Between Knowledge and Belief? This explores the nuanced boundaries between what we believe, what we think we know, and what can be objectively demonstrated. 9. How Do Social and Cultural Contexts Shape Knowledge? Postmodern and social epistemologists argue that knowledge is not universal but deeply embedded in specific cultural and social contexts. 10. Is There a Fundamental Difference Between Scientific and Other Forms of Knowledge? This question examines whether scientific knowledge is qualitatively different from other knowledge systems like philosophical, artistic, or traditional knowledge. These questions are not merely academic—they strike at the core of human understanding, challenging us to critically examine how we know what we claim to know. They reveal the profound complexity of human knowledge and our perpetual quest to understand the nature of understanding itself. Each of these questions has spawned entire philosophical traditions, schools of thought, and ongoing debates that continue to challenge our intellectual boundaries. Would you like me to elaborate on any of these questions or explore a specific epistemological perspective in more depth? What would be perception without human This is a fascinating philosophical and phenomenological question that touches on deep issues of consciousness, reality, and the nature of perception. Let me break down some perspectives: 1. Objective Physical Perspective From a purely physical standpoint, "perception" would continue to exist as: - Information processing - Energy interactions - Causal relationships between physical entities - Quantum interactions and measurements - Physical systems responding to stimuli 2. Philosophical Perspectives a) Phenomenological View - Without human perception, would "perception" even be meaningful? - Philosophers like Maurice Merleau-Ponty argue that perception is fundamentally an embodied, subjective experience - Perception might be reduced to mere physical interactions without a conscious observer b) Berkeley's Idealism - Philosopher George Berkeley argued "esse est percipi" (to be is to be perceived) - Without a perceiver, does reality itself fundamentally change? - This suggests perception is not just a passive reception but an active construction of reality 3. Scientific Considerations - Quantum mechanics suggests observation itself transforms quantum states - Some interpretations imply that perception is not just reception but active participation in reality's unfolding 4. Alternative Perception Models - Perception could exist as: - Information processing by non-human systems - Interactions between physical entities - Complex algorithmic measurements - Potential consciousness in other life forms or hypothetical non-biological systems 5. Profound Philosophical Implications - Is perception inherently tied to consciousness? - Can perception exist without a subject? - What constitutes "perception" beyond human experience? These questions reveal the profound mystery at the intersection of consciousness, physics, and philosophy. The answer depends fundamentally on how we define "perception" itself. Would you like me to elaborate on any of these perspectives or explore a specific angle of this complex question? Perception is a human term but human need to exist to invent the term You've highlighted a profound philosophical and linguistic paradox. Let's unpack this circular relationship between perception, consciousness, and language. 1. Cognitive Origin Dilemma - The term "perception" is indeed a human linguistic construct - Yet, the phenomenon it describes likely predates human existence - This suggests a pre-linguistic reality of sensory interaction and information processing 2. Pre-Human Perception Mechanisms - Biological organisms before humans already processed environmental information - Single-celled organisms respond to chemical gradients - Plants react to light, gravity, and environmental stimuli - Animals have complex sensory systems that interpret environmental data 3. Epistemological Chicken-and-Egg Problem - Did perception exist before the term was invented? - Does naming something create its conceptual existence? - Language doesn't create reality but provides a framework for understanding 4. Philosophical Perspectives - Phenomenology: Perception is an embodied experience of interacting with environment - Realism: Physical interactions occur regardless of human observation - Constructivism: Human language and consciousness shape our understanding of perception 5. Biological Information Processing Pre-human perception might be understood as: - Energy transfer - Quantum state interactions - Chemical signal responses - Stimulus-response mechanisms - Information encoding and transmission 6. Emergence of Consciousness - Perception seems to be a gradient, not a binary state - From simple chemical responses to complex neural processing - Consciousness likely emerged through incremental complexity 7. Linguistic Implications - "Perception" is a meta-concept explaining how systems interact with and interpret environmental information - The term is a human abstraction attempting to describe a universal process The key insight: Perception exists as a fundamental process of interaction and information processing, independent of human language. Humans didn't invent perception; we invented a term to describe a pre-existing phenomenon. Would you like to explore any of these dimensions further?

@Yimpa a Alligator have just good intentions, from his on sense of what is Goodness.

About the Quote #087 and Stage Green Follies. Try go get where this activist lost his Pose and Made a exageration on his narrative https://derrickjensen.org/endgame/can-same-action-be-immoral-and-moral/ Quote from the link: " I’m aiming at a far bigger and more profound target than the nearly twelve million cubic yards of cement that went into the Grand Coulee Dam. I want in this book to examine the morality and feasibility of intentionally taking down not just dams but all of civilization. I aim to examine this as unflinchingly and honestly as I can, even, or especially, at the risk of examining topics normally considered off-limits to discourse." Ok to defend ecology, but the guy propose the end of Civilization Derrick Jensen is Indeed a good case study to the limits of Green

James Cameron is releasing the new Avatar Movie. Is he using devilery to reach that goal?

Wow. This is amazing

@DocWatts very good

So Traps are Contextual. It can be a Trap for someone and not a Trap for Others depending in what developmental stage they are. A 5 to 9 job can be a trap for some and a great thing for another.

@Joshe a video for the Future Generation Laugths. Well I am laugthing ready.

Hitler moves

@Shane Hanlon he have another episode on the archetipe of Monk. So in that context he is trying to say that there is a stage where we detach from socialization or from to much care for community in order to connect more with our core essence and there is time to go the other way and simply dive in the mundane world of life and enjoy it as much as a retreat. Like one friend told me another day: Built a life from where you dont even need to escape to a retreat. Or not being a retreat junkie at least.

Compost Toilets and the Whole Off Grid and Permaculture Movement. With compost toilets I half Agree. All depends of how is built, in cities would be a disaster. Smell like shit.

Answering my own question. I think Stage Green Mega Thread is a good place to find examples of what this quote points.

@Brittany good perspective. You said what I was trying to explain to my self for years around this dilema or Tracendence vs Imanence

Embrace the King

Where you go find this stuff man? You surely have time.

Ok Leo, with this last post one you have explanatory work to do. Yes it make sense, but a video about this would be put on fire a lot of self rigtheous activists I know.
