Everything in the evolution leads up to this moment, everything since the big bang theory.

Imagine something for 1 billion years ago happen differently just 1 sec in the pass would have changed everything! Mindblow

If you had waved your arms the other way two years ago the weather today would have been 'completely different' than it is. Just like the weather is always completely different from one day to the next - but still weather.

Most random arrangements look pretty much the same to us, because they're functionally pretty much the same to us.

I believe many philosophers and politicians might have written books on those subjects. What would be good starting points on this subject?

If being rational doesn't work on the masses, maybe appeals to emotion will.

M8, there are literally books that are almost a THOUSAND YEARS OLD teaching you the art of rhetoric. Rhetoric isn't about being logical in the standard sense in the way that proper arguments work, but is about a practical logic about how dumb human beings actually think and are convinced. Appeals to emotion with the veneer of reason, that's what it is. This is not enough, however, you have to not be a sperg or autist yourself in order to have the unteachable aspect of it: a finely tuned and self-aware charm and charisma.

these days, the art of sophistry and rhetoric is best learned by reading about psychology and the neuroscience behind the formation of opinions. Most of the good stuff is going to be technical and dry, but it's going to serve you better than populistic works on the matter.

I found my Asperger's downright helpful, though that's because mind-manipulation appears to be one of my areas of hyperfocus.

Yes, if you're willing to lie, there's hardly anything you can't convince a majority to believe. Unfortunately, what civilization needs now is an appreciation for truth, which no amount of rhetoric can impart.

dear phil, I am trying to write a book that you may find interesting, it's a take on an old premise that has never been seen before.

It's a series of stories about time travel, which all take place in the same setting, but with different characters perspectives, kind of like sin city.

but here is where it becomes unique, it deviaters in every way from how the subject is usually treated:

1: time travel is for everybody (who can afford it):

in most time travel stories, use of the technology is either heavily regulated, or only available to a select few, but here, traveling to, and thereby changing, the past is a technology widely available on the free market.

2. the setting with time travel does not have events which are unalterable, yet it does:

in most stories, you either cannot kill Hitler, or you can, but doing so deletes all future events along your timeline, and overwrites them with a new series of events that follow from the point of deviation.

But in my setting, all timelines with the same set of natural laws coexist exist as complete, predetermined, unalterable, looping entities within a single multiverse, where the last unique point in every timeline, where the universe is crushed into a singularity, is followed by first unique point in the timeline, when the singularity begins to expand again, this happens twice in every given timeline, and in between these points are the two points which all timelines share, that is, at the point of the singularity itself.

so the moment you travel back in time, you are actually entering a previous point in another timeline that is identical up the predetermined point in the timeline where you have warped in, at which point you become a part of the predetermined future of that timeline, unless one of your predetermined actions within it is to warp back in time again, in which case you disappear from it, and into a previous point in another, or into it's future, in which case you skip your existence within the timeline, until the future point at which you reappear again.

the point that might interest you, phil, is what writers are unintentionally telling their readers when they make their setting follow the rules my work is breaking.

what do you think people take away from every depiction of time travel in fiction ever?

that the past cant be changed, that it can only be changed by a select few, and that any changes will ultimately bring ruin to the mad scientist who made them?

>>4866 (OP)

the design of a multiverse is essentially this:

imagine a core whose composition dictates a set of natural laws.

imagine a line in an ellipse around it, then imagine drawing another ellipse starting from one of the furthest points in the previous ellipse, but not one that traces along the first previous ellipse, then doing this again, and again, until the ellipses form a shell around the core, which causes the multiverse to resemble a perfectly symmetrical egg.

each of the ellipses is one of the timelines that is compatible with the natural laws dictated by the core, the furthest points from the core on every timeline is the point of singularity that every timeline in the multiverse shares, at the closest points of each timeline to the core of the multiverse, is point at which the universe of the timeline has reached it's maximum size, when it has ceased expanding, and began to contract.

there are two "lives" for the universe within every given timeline, each making up half of the timeline:

for example, when taking a cross-section of a multiverse to look down upon a single timeline, between two singularities, one to the core's left, and one to it's right.

one of the universe's "lives" is above the core and goes from the left singularity to the right singularity, while the other "life" is below the core, and goes from the right singularity, to the left singularity.

assuming a clockwise rotation, (it could also be counter clockwise, the rotation itself does not matter).

I'll make my question short and simple then, without presenting my own theories about how I would do time travel:

what do you think people take away from every depiction of time travel in fiction ever? what are the maker's of such sci-fi/fantasy saying when they write the subject as the usually do:

where the past cant be changed, or where it can only be changed by a select few, but always that any changes made to the past will ultimately bring ruin to the mad scientist/well-intentioned fool who made them?

We already have a thread on the differences between fatalism vs. determinism.

The setting that I am talking about is deterministic, but not fatalist, changes are not necessarily desirable or undesirable to the actor, the only thing that matters is that event C necessarily follows from action A in environment B, Free will, if it exists, also applies to previously experienced events, and anyone can make the choice to completely change the course of history, with an equal or (arguably) better chance of improving it's desirability from their perspective, as would any action in the present.

Most fiction relies upon fatalism, that the events of the past are what are meant to have happened, that any other set of events would have produced an inferior result, and using the consequences of time travel as a message from god not to alter is design, when you bring in consequences not tied to the specific actions of the time-traveler, but to the act of time travel itself, such as paradoxes, the imminent destruction of space-time, etc. It's kind of like god directly punishing them for going against his wishes.

As the thread says.

Finding a list of times the laws of reality have been successfully deducted is a hard thing because nobody cares, but think about the past times people have done it:

Greeks guessed that material was made of "atoms" and that was what held material together.

Albert Einstein guessed that gravity was composed of "waves" and on 2016 we learned this was true.

The above people did not have proof of their hypothesis, they simply reasoned or guessed it.

Smarter people simply seem to be able to pull it off.

Are ALL laws of the universe understandable through basic knowledge of the universe and then applied logic? Were the two above guesses just luck?

Yes, a posteriori a priori. Hegel did it.

This happens when laws are found to be specific determinations of a more general law from which the specific form derives. This has happened quite a few times in the last century, where the mathematics is discovered to provide for such a collapsing of "laws."

I mean, this is the reason why theories exit. Without looking you can predict what is going to happen. That's also an indispensable criteroin for being able to falsify a theory like Newtons about time and space. But i think you are more into some kind of rationalism that synthesizes its knowledge from basic ideas, which are existing apriori in our minds (maybe like the carteasian meditations). So maybe your question is about the possibility of synthetic a priori judgments. -->Google

What you are referring to is, as you say, a set of hypotheses, not deductions per se.

But I assume your question is whether or not it's the case that all natural laws that are, as of yet, unobserved make enough sense to the human mind so as to, theoretically, be concievable well before the appropriate discoveries and actually informed hypotheses have been made.

Simple response is that there's no way to tell. Given that a 'law of nature' is a formulation made by the human mind, I would deem it possible. But this says nothing about the things that have necessitated or invited the formulation of the law in the first place.

You can prove some of them in the way that Kant did, by proving that things must work a certain way as a requisit for us to have experience of it at all. Of course this would then only apply to appearances, but what doesn't?

"Deducted" means "to subtract." As in, "My rent was deducted from my bank account." The word you want is 'deduced.'

After deducting the natural laws from logic, what's left? Isn't logic itself a natural law? Are you claiming logic meta-exists, transcending all other laws?

That's an analytic truth, nobody really cares about those. What skepticism concerns is with how you know that you have truth. Truth here concerns the world.

Truth requires that you know the form of truth to be obtained already, and that you have a method of coherently grasping that truth and justifying it. Those are two contradictory positions. How do you know what truth looks like in order to even begin asking how to get it?

all activities related to child porn, except for "performing" in it, or recording it, or anything else that actually requires you to either abuse a child or be an accomplice to the abuse, should be legal, as it does not contribute to the abuse of children.

if i watch a 6 year old girl get fucked, it does not cause her to experience the fucking all over again, nor does it cause another 6 year old girl to get fucked as well, if i post it up online, even if i charge for it, it will only have the same lack of effect.

in fact, it might actually decrease the amount of 6 year old girls getting fucked, by giving pedos a form of release that they would not get anywhere else, except by fucking a 6 year old girl.

the important part is that we maintain the illegality of fucking 6 year old girls, whether or not it is being recorded by a camera.

You should be thankful it's that far away and hopefully as inactive. The old coffee houses and salons were places where the actual intelligentsia came to, not their dumb fanbases.

That could be a materialist trench.

Gustavo Bueno's philosophical system is one of the last attempts to stay on materialist side of philosophy. Has a new insight on what materialism means (understanding the matter as not reducible to the corporeal; Materialist essays is THE book on it) and, at the same time, a materialistic proposal of what the sciences are (categorical closure theory). His philosophy connects with the tradition of the Platonic academy and dialogues with Marxism and Diamat (Soviet philosophy). It rejects the monistic conception of materialism and places itself in a pluralism.

Hegelianism isn't that popular, nonetheless there is an interest from a lot of lay people and enthusiasts to learn about Hegel. I write a blog basically to give run downs and explanations by expansion of some core Hegelian concepts as well as overview expansions of Hegel's arguments in some of his works. Currently I'm working through the Phenomenology of Spirit and writing chapter by chapter logical outlines, and by logical I mean Hegelian logical, which isn't anything short.

My blog is:

empyreantrail.wordpress.com

If you'd like to comment anything or ask anything Hegel related go ahead and I'll try to answer here.

人は何故パンツを履く?

君はパンツを脱ぐ時に右足を最初に抜くか

それとも左足から先に抜くかで議論する人がいたら滑稽だと思うかね?

十字を切る時にどういう順序で切るべきか

キリスト教徒同士で激しく言い争っていたら、やはり滑稽だと思うかね?

滑稽なのだよ

有りもしない価値を……有るものとして扱い、尊び、その正当性を賭けて他人と争いさえする

……しかしだね

これこそ知的活動ではないか?

知性以外の何を使えばこんなことができる……?

真実に従うことは誰にでもできる……知性なき野の獣にも

だが虚構に真実と同等の価値を与えひれ伏すようなことが、獣にできるだろうか?

宗教が人間を愚民にすると言った者もいるが、全くの誤解だ

宗教こそ、極めて高度な知的活動の産物に他ならない

宗教は人類史上、最も人間らしい発明と言えるのだよ

why the gookese?

google translate to the rescue:

"Why do people wear pants?

When you take off your pants you either pull the right leg first

Or would anyone think that it is comical if there is anyone to argue with whether to draw from the left foot first?

In what order should we cut when cutting crosses

If you are fighting hard among Christians, are you still thinking it is comical?

It's funny.

I treat the value which I do not have as ...... as having it, respect it, even betting its legitimacy to fight with others

But ...

Is not this an intellectual activity?

What can I do if I use something other than intelligence ...?

It is possible for anyone to follow the truth ... also to the beasts without intelligence

But can it be impossible for a beast to give the same value as the truth and to face down?

Some say that religion makes people human beings a refuter, but it is totally misunderstood

Religion is the product of extremely high intellectual activity

Religion can be said to be the most human-made invention in human history"

Id say: "Religion is the product of extremely high intellectual activity" aimed at denying and obfuscating the fact that absolute truth, whether it exists or not, lies firmly outside the reach of mere monkeys like us. As its impossible for a society to fully agree on it, making it the basis for it is foolish and short-sighted, aPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Opinion incoming

The first image contains many harmful paths. Most consistently:

Politics - You often become bound to a politician in real life, who is very manipulative himself. This is also why most of them were Communist or otherwise Facist, it is the ultimate goal of a politician in those ages.

Hedonism on the bottom - Someone who can slowly chew a meal earns more than someone who steamrolls through a banquet. I personally would recommend doing a 160 and going for "DIY" Ubermensch.

I have no comments on any of the other motivations, its just that those two are self destructive and meaningless.

Sorry, I just wanted to point that out. Any objections?

These image guides were grandfathered in from times past. The board staff isn't really thrilled with them either. If we can reach a consensus they can be changed. The post itself would have to be nuked and replaced, which is no problem. What would be really great is if we could drop it all into a sub-page. Board staff have no idea how this could be accomplished, and we've never seen an example of doing this through sub-pages anywhere on 8chan.

Anyway, the gist behind the sticky suggestions are to offer a path for beginners. Steer clear of the advanced stuff.

Drop suggestions/objections/etc. in this thread.
