The proof may execute flawlessly, but it's just meaningless word salad when we try to make sense of it philosophically. It doesn't mean anything. History keeps repeating itself. None of this is new: Say, “Indeed, I bring a flawless proof from my Lord—yet you have denied it. I do not have that for w...

Has this Wittgenstein guy ever said anything substantial, anything groundbreaking? It's a pretty bad sign when you start arguing against your former philosophy, if you don't get philosophy right the first time, chances are you won't get it right the second time either.

Most philosophers accept the Godel's Ontological Argument is Unsuccessful; The Godel ontological argument has garnered quite a bit of attention in the last fifty years. In most cases, philosophers have agreed that the argument is unsuccessful but have disagreed vigorously over where exactly the fat...

You keep stealing my thunder. Voleur!

I guess you also know the next 3 or so steps of the argument then.. good, we don't talk about those for various reasons

Well, I'll skip ahead and say that humanity will of course never elect a benevolent global dictatorship. No wonder I'm without enthusiasm. Maybe a gene-modified superior humanity could do it, but that's kinda another species, not us.

Not sure if investing into the Christian civilization is the best idea as major religions will eventually nuke each other into oblivion in most worldlines. What we need is a global unified dictatorship :) that will force good morals on people, whether they like it or not, irregardless of their relig...

Instead of switching to the worst religion in the world, I think it's better to actually act like a man. And then suddenly there will be plenty of faithful women in the West too.

My guess would be that one of the AIs received an update that makes them scour internet forums for whatever reason. Not machine learning, just search. There seems to be a roughly equal number of these bots in every subforum, maybe they are scouring every single topic.

Parallel universe is a real tricky topic, for example, whether it is " INDEPENDENT parallel universe " or " ALL-CONNECTED cross universe" ,etc.... All jokes aside, the all-connected cross universe topic is pretty high level philosophy. Where even the human mind is a complex mult...

I can't think of anything to say about parallel universes. What is there to say? 🤔 You could say they are parallel. You could also say they are universes. Those things have already been said, and I can't think of anything useful to add. There is a universe where IC is considerate, empathetic and ev...

*** Let us set the record straight on this idiotc question that keeps coming up "Is moraltiy sujective or objective", " "what would it take?" etc.. The whole problem seem to be a mischaracterisation of what the subject/object argument is all about. Things are not objective ...

Throughout history, it never even occured to 90%+ of people that morality could be anything other than objective. Such a concept, such a possibility didn't even exist for them. Wanting it / valuing it / searching for it, didn't enter the picture for them. Those people lived in little mud villages w...

What about them?

Yes what about them? Will religion be forced on them?

I think we have to go back to the very root of the founding of our civilization: it really does have to do with a realness of relationship with that which made us — i.e. our creator. It all depends on how serious one takes that — and life itself really. It's the 21st century, what about the countle...

Good thing Trump always cleans up all this leftist mess of the last few decades, mostly started by the Bush gove- ... hmm I'm kinda confused
