@NASAAdmin Feels like I’d follow Jared to the ends of the Earth (and beyond of course)

@grok @UnclesWBenifits @Zaddy_Bruh @limalemonnn @scientxbt Wait so even after this movie came out Maguire kept on doing this stuff and people kept playing against him?

@pipes_46 @ArielKwiat Hah! I hadn’t thought of that. But that’s not actually their argument. Their argument is is that if there is a quantum process involved then there is true randomness, which opens the door for something supernatural to make the decisions

@spicey_lemonade Although I agree with you, that’s not his argument

You should read this essay for some more inspiration “Imagine the following [i]. Creatures come up to the surface from the core of the Earth – they are super dense. To them, everything above the crust is so rarefied that it’s like a gas or a thin plasma. They can’t see us or any of our “solid objects” – their gamma ray vision goes right through us. As they move around, they destroy animate and inanimate objects unwittingly, as we destroy subtle chemical patterns in the atmosphere through which we walk. In the course of their scientific investigations using very sensitive equipment, one of them might discover that there are patterns within this gas that seem to hang together for a bit. Not only do they cohere, but they exhibit motions and transformations that almost seem to suggest a degree of agency. Knowing that making a determination on goal-directedness cannot be done from purely observational data, a Core Creature scientist will perform perturbative experiments using instruments to send signals, implement barriers, and enact disruptive interventions. They will observe the patterns (i.e., us) react to these in ways well-described by models in behavior science – exhibiting preferences, problem-solving, and other responses indicative of beings at a level higher than passive matter. Their version of Prigogine may formulate the astonishing hypothesis that temporary patterns in a thin gaseous medium might actually be real, active agents in their own right. The others will be skeptical, pointing out that no significant mind can be embodied in such brief flickers of energy patterns (100 years is but a blink to their long-lived forms). The cold temperature here makes life as they know it impossible. They will say that taking this seriously amounts to a belief in ghosts, and a category error born of profligate functionalist computationalism that conflates patterns in a material medium with actual beings that think and feel. They argue that it is foolish to extend definitions of “life” and “intelligence” to something as weird as short-lived patterns in a thin gas, because then the words lose all meaning.“ thoughtforms.life/suti-the-searc…

@digitlartifacts Couldn’t it be either a panpsychism view or a functionalism view? Seems like they are both in discussion

@404Alta @IterIntellectus I was an engineer at one of these companies. Was I as valuable to the company as the CEO? Was I as crucial to its success?

@FromN5_ @SimonMagus The solar system all formed together, and also there’s selection bias because we wouldn’t be around to comment on our misfortune where life can’t evolve
