  1. @Leo Gura I was listen this Whatifalthist and even followed on istagram. But very soon I saw througth him. I think the more Honest Epistemic one gets more one get this power to see througth deception. For me this power is gold. And thanks to teach it all way down in your sharings.
  2. Alien Domains of Mind sound like the Pantajali concept of Sidhis. The descriptions sound really like Alien Powers. I experienced Telepaty many times. And Seein the Future
  3. You basically is trying to grab your left hand using the left hand itself.
  4. Using Claude 3.5 to generate epistemic questions is allowed in the game? I asked it to compose some original questions of Meta-Epistemology questioning about the very nature of getting knowledge since Knower and Knowledge are one Mind. Here is the suggestions: Let me compose some deep meta-epistemological questions that probe the paradoxical nature of knowledge and consciousness reflecting upon itself: 1. If all knowledge arises within consciousness, how can consciousness evaluate the reliability of its own knowing process? Isn't this like trying to use a ruler to measure its own accuracy? 2. When we claim to "know that we know something," what is the nature of that second-order knowledge? Is it fundamentally different from first-order knowledge of objects and facts? 3. If the knower and the known are ultimately aspects of one mind, does this unity invalidate or validate our claims to knowledge? Does the collapse of the subject-object divide make knowledge impossible or make it more intimate and certain? 4. How can we be certain that our logical principles for validating knowledge aren't themselves conditioned by the structure of our consciousness in a way we can't detect or transcend? 5. When consciousness reflects on itself, is it truly gaining knowledge, or is it like a mirror trying to see itself - creating infinite regress without genuine insight? 6. If all experience, including our sense of knowing something, occurs within consciousness, how can we ever verify there's anything outside of consciousness to know? 7. Is the very concept of "objective knowledge" incoherent since any knowledge must be known by a subject and thus be inherently subjective? 8. When we say we "understand" something, what is the relationship between the understanding itself and our awareness of that understanding? Are they separable? Would you like to explore any of these questions further? I find the paradox of consciousness attempting to understand itself through its own mechanisms particularly fascinating.
  5. Sound like a good CheatCode to the Game.
  6. 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. ???
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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?
  11. @Yimpa a Alligator have just good intentions, from his on sense of what is Goodness.
  12. 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

  14. James Cameron is releasing the new Avatar Movie. Is he using devilery to reach that goal?
  15. Stop trying to learn "skills." Nothing valuable is built with ONE skill. Instead, learn individual techniques that allow you to build a project that others find useful. Stack techniques, not skills, and you'll slowly reduce your chances of being replaced. This this line of thogth make sense or is just redundance and Skill is the Same as Techniques?
