The entire Jewish religion is based around being the chosen, which in turn they’ve be persecuted for. That’s not a set of values worth maintaining. It’s just another form of narcissism, the MO of the Republican Party.

This clown preps for his daily Fox appearances by scanning a collection of right-wing talking points on social media which he subsequently clips and scrambles in his head then spews them out in an incoherent word salad. Fox’s useful idiot.

a matrix redux

This was touched on in some of the previous postings, here is a further, expanded explanation of how and why you are not plugged into a matrix like reality.

We need to stop making laws that future trumpsters will loophole around and just get rid of them before the puss starts to bubble. Want to follow a law, kick out the current admin.

Washington DC is not the President’s personal real estate empire. Our public buildings belong to the people. That’s why I introduced the Federal Facilities Protection and Oversight Act—to protect our historic federal buildings and ensure no president can demolish or remake them on a whim.

Nope. Language isn’t responsible for diversion from understanding reality as “it really is”. Silly that.

We treat language as a neutral tool for describing reality, but what if it's actually creating it? | https://bit.ly/4uxxAjd Neuroscientist Jeremy Skipper argues that language itself is an altered state of consciousness, and only by losing it can we see the world as it really is. #philsci #cogsci

The nearest equivalent is the gestopo at the polls only allowing republicans to vote.

So they’re claiming the only way to win is by suppressing voters.

No such thing as independence from bias. Existence is bias, there’s no where to go that removes bias, no matter how many theories one invokes or tests one confirms. To that “end”, it’s all creation, even the bits we don’t play well with.

On the publication bias discourse, I regret that metascience has become a source of decontextualized, low-res, bean-counting-focused `science is in crisis' narratives. It is largely uncurious abt science, desperately lacking in theory & measurement. I'll quote a few takes I liked & add my thoughts🧵

The example here has driven many “mad”, they get stuck defending an absolute as an independent (in this case, places) phenomena. But as an inferred duality suggests, one can never reach a state of absolute by describing it with “other” absolute values, it requires the subtle to get there. #philsci

adichotomy - defined

I've been asked to build a definition page (as if this entire site isn't such an expression), this will be a compressed version (quick read). An argument that appears to exist on it's own is invalid. ...

The answer deep thought philosophy gives is usually unexceptable. You are the “within it”. Which means there is no independent out-there to manipulate into producing. #philsci #nondual #adichotomy

Though many think of the world as an intelligible place we will one day fully understand, G. Anthony Bruno argues this dream is ultimately a fantasy. | https://bit.ly/3ZdOXXW Bruno suggests that philosophy’s task is not to dispel this mystery, but to find how to live productively within it.

There is no separate physics for aliens, differentiation is the entire ball of wax, alien or native. #philsci #adichotomy #nondual

If we ever meet aliens, would their physics be the same as ours? | https://bit.ly/3NfXffq While this may appear an abstract question, Daniel Whiteson argues its answer could have profound consequences on the pursuit of scientific truth. #philsci ⚛️

The reason reality is indescribable, is it would take an entire reality to describe one. #philsci #nonduality

There’s probably no division gap to grasp on to. All activities are creation, including the destructive ones.

Is science true, or just a framework we’ve built to feel we have a closer grasp on reality? | https://iai.tv/video/truth-science-and-reality Join Hilary Lawson and John Ioannides as they explore an issue which has divided philosophers and physicians alike. #philsci

Adding or removing states of the universe(s) is really not needed to describe reality, nor could it be the case. #philsci It’s certainly fun to ponder though.

Is there really a possibility we exist in a multiverse? | https://bit.ly/4oVU7Ck The many-worlds interpretation has long divided physicists. Here, theoretical physicist David Deutsch contends that it’s not merely the best explanation of quantum mechanics, but the only one. #philsci ⚛️

Likely valid, while we can parse stuff as individual, its regular order is cohesive and uninterrupted.

We tend to think of the present moment as an infinitely small, discrete period of time, but is this incorrect? | https://bit.ly/4qjMRSX Emily Herring argues that this is a mistake; time is a flow, containing past, present and future all at once. #philsci ⚛️ 🧪
