Nanomachines aren't magic, Anon. When you die, you die for good. His insistence upon nanomachines is nothing more than a wishful thinking fantasy to escape the primal fear of death.

Modern update of Rationalist lopsided tribalist philosophy.

The sequences are a species of too little too late. If you don't already know them, then reading the sequences won't help. They're baldly obvious if you can think clearly. If you can't think clearly, being handed the products of clear thinking merely enable your epistemic insanity.

Remember that cells ARE nanomachines. Metallic nanomachines will hardly be able to do anything that moist carbon nanomachines can't already do.

E.g. the grey goo scenario literally already happened. Only it was green, from chlorophyll. You may notice the biosphere survived, and Earth is still here.

The telemeres in your cells get shorter and shorter every time they reproduce, everntually they run out, your genetics is hard-coded for you to die at a certain age (assuming something else doesn't kill you first), before you die your cells basically do a mass suicide.

Recently the polls say that the number of young people who do not necessarily believe democracy is vital has risen in most countries, and there's a lot to say for that idea if you accept how many people are so incredibly stupid and unqualified to talk about politics that they shouldn't have any part in decision making which affects the rest of us-- (particularly when there are smarter or more educated people they refuse to even listen to, who could definitely make better decisions). The question then becomes of how to select those people so we get ruled by a meritocracy of the intelligentsia, instead of aristocracies run by unqualified "elites" that lack empathy towards the lives they're managing. Perhaps the best possible ruler would be a former selfless psychologist sent to law school, and then educated in the illusions and realities of world affairs, and mentored in good governance. Anyone who can't demonstrate community service can't be trusted to serve people of other classes and shouldn't lead.

Modern politicians are all practicing Sophists. If you want what Gorgias would say about a thing, just ask your local rep what they would say about it.

The difference is that Gorgias said things that appealed to local Greeks, whereas your local rep (or a revived Gorgias) will say things that appeal to your locals.

Has anyone read Confused Man, I mean Confucius? Overall I don't like his philosophy, since he was hopelessly sexist, autocratic, and life denying. He made asians into drones that follow a hierarchy, preserved superstision and killed creativity. In English I call him confused man, but in Chinese I call him lao fu because it sounds like "loud fool."

read up on Arianism, pls.

heresy that was condemned at Nicea that permeates itself thru Christian Liberalism and Secular Humanism alike.

you can kill an ideology's adherents but you can't kill an ideology itself, ipso facto.

Traditionalist Christianity has nothing whatsoever to do with that, and to imply that is a typical autheist making naked abstractions and universalist dialectics.

If you try to make art as philosophy, you get bad philosophy and worse art.

If you try to make a song that's philosophy first and a song second, you will get bad philosophy, and a worse song. If instead you let the song be the best song it can be, it will have very little in the way of philosophy left in it.

Aristotle was much better

he made it pretty clear why women make terrible rulers

Wherefore women are more compassionate and more readily made to weep, more jealous and querulous, founder of the railing, and more contentious. The female also is more subject to depression of spirits and despair than the male. She is also more shameless and false, more readily deceived, and more mindful of injury, more watchful, more idle, and on the whole less excitable than the male. On the contrary, the male is more ready to help, and, as it has been said, braver than the female; and even in malaria, if the sepia is struck with a trident, the male comes to help the female, but the female makes her escape if the male is struck."

So Philosophy I've been having a existential crisis. I'm afraid to break my solipsism habit. Everything in the universe revolves around me, Everything I see on tv, read in books, people talking to me. No matter how big the problem or small it is I can't seem to not notice it. because I have nothing more demanding in my life then such I can't stop it. I want to know it is me and still enjoy it. it's annoying me.

This is the philosophy of simplification.

I like Crash Course and School of Life but I feel like maybe they are coloring my perceptions of philosophers and history a little too much, especially now that i've read a bit of Plato and I found there's so much more to him that what their 9 minute episodes could cover.

Do these two channels sucks? If so what channels don't suck?

Funny, after posting that... post, I decided to check him out more in-depth, found HHH, and now I'm a few vids into it. This guy does rule.

His Anselm vids are really good too. I learned a lot from him about Anselm

Sadler does seem to have potential. He might know something I don't know, but it just takes so long to wade through all the stuff I already know...

Anyone have a tip for something he covers that seems particular obscure?

>School of Life

Literal trash. The video on the mind body problem was something like

<It's when you, like, don't like the way you look

Don't watch youtube as a substitute for reading the actual book

We have good reason to not pay much attention to ideas that are unlikely to be true. There isn't time to give every crackpot an ear when he steps on the soapbox; atheists tend to think you need to earn respect and aren't automatically entitled it by virtue of being alive. Of course this is an anonymous image board, but I don't take this place or the posters here that seriously.

That's a very fair position. For myself, I don't discount crackpots because some aspect of truth and some aspect of falsehood can be gleaned from nearly any statement, even if it's just something symbolic that you and your intuition made up. Like all good and mediocre Discordians, I hold the firm belief that I should hold no firm beliefs, but that includes the firm belief that somebody's firm belief is entirely false.

That's fine when you have the time, but I'd rather listen to rational people because I live in a large enough city that I can avoid the company of people I don't like. I have met too many easily offended Christians who throw a fit at anything you say, even if it has nothing to do with religion. They tend to be prejudiced crackpots with poor methodologies for reaching the truth.

The time's going to pass anyways, and I'm in no rush. I spent 8 months going to hundreds of Bible studies and practicing Christianity, praying several times a day, and whatnot. There's definitely some learning to be done concerning matters that most atheist thinkers would never touch, but truth can definitely be found more quickly elsewhere.
