This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
I recently learned about Sir Roger Penrose's research about Qualia. Then I formed my own conclusion of one of the universal truths;
That the "0th Dimension (The Nothing) Emerges/Balance All Infinite Possibility Across The Conceivable & The Inconceivable Reality"
I wrote an essay on it, as well as a wrap-up of our future. What do you think?

Not enough em-dashes to be standard LLM psychosis. Perhaps standard homegrown schizophrenia?

& you also into tranhumanist stuff soooooo let's live long yo!
Thanks. Transhumanism is sick.
But I still have to stand by what I said. I am a transhumanist doctor, and to put not too fine a point on it, (half) a psychiatrist. It pains me to feel that duty asks me to dampen your enthusiasm.
When Sir Penrose talks about consciousness and qualia arising from strictly quantum mechanical interactions within the wetware of the human brain, he has enough street cred (courtesy of a Nobel Prize) that people listen seriously. He made testable predictions, and made world-models with a semblance of rigor. Unfortunately, he still didn't convince the wider scientific community. You are facing a far more uphill battle on the best of days, and you're not trying as hard.
As far as I can eyeball, your general thrust is:
1.It is impossible that something exists instead of nothing.
But we do exist.
Therefore, the impossible exists.
Therefore, every impossibility exists, to "balance" the nothingness of the "0th Dimension."
This is where the philosophical alarm bells start ringing. It’s a clever-sounding syllogism, but it hinges on a category error. The "impossibility" of our existence is a statement of incredulity or low probability, not of logical contradiction. A royal flush is incredibly improbable, but it's not "impossible" in the same way a four-sided triangle is. You're conflating "that which is statistically miraculous" with "that which violates logic." By treating them as the same, you're granting yourself a license to declare that anything and everything, including logical contradictions ("Infinite Paradoxes Exist Everywhere"), must be real.
That makes no damn sense. Even for something as plausible (or at least not ruled out by known and speculative physics) like a Boltzmann Brain popping up out of the quantum foam post Heat Death, there is no room for triangles with two sides.
"I imagined/conceived the above. So it has to exist." This is a souped-up, personalized version of the Modal Ontological Argument or David Lewis's Modal Realism, but without any of the logical rigor. Lewis argued for the existence of all possible worlds, not all conceivable worlds. We can conceive of Escher drawings and contradictions, but that doesn't make them physically possible.
It is slightly rude of me to pattern match your words to crankery or a slightly loosened grasp on consensus reality, but that is still my genuine personal and professional opinion. I expect you have done high doses of recreational psychedelics, and laxened your priors. It would be remiss of me to not at least politely ask that you seek help. Others are likely to be less polite, but trust me, I know where this road tends to lead.
Thank you for your lovely feedback! Psychiatrist is cool - I love watching healthy gamer & Diary of the CEO about self-improvement YT + bunch of other vids
You say I don't try hard, but I'm actually not smart enough to know how to even start to work harder, besides writing 20 pages of it already XD If you want, you can continue it for me? Do the research pHD level with constructive arguments - English essay/research is one of my weakest points - logical rigor, I don't know how to write a compelling argument ----- in fact, I will be content if no one really reads my work, so thank you so much for reading it
I understand all the fallacies you listed are true - but then again, this is the ultimate truth we are talking about here - is there a possible way to prove it or to unprove it? These fallacies hinges on it - it comes hand in hand, frustratingly! What's your take on the ultimate truth, if you have one?
The 9th dimension or infinite dimension above somehow allows contradictions/paradoxes to exist with each other - something we have yet to comprehend
It makes no sense that triangles with two sides & Escher drawings from our 3D epistemic physics standard reality. It exists in a different reality - if you believe in multiverses & infinite dimensions
Yeah, my essay is more for kinda general audience than smart 130+ iq intellectuals because frankly, I usually get 120 on IQ test and I wish I were smarter, so I'm waiting that neuralink (or any brain enhancement) that can increase all our IQ in the future & able to speak all languages & reach more understanding of peace with each other - which is why in the second link - 'Utopain Tech Society' excel sheet - i say increasing our intelligence is one of the first things we should do because I do see us being monkeys being inefficient doing things really lol
david lewis modal realism? nice - how come i never seen his name before? thank you! of course someone definitely thought up what i thought up --- the internet is big yoooo
You write smart & knowledgeable things in a short time - you must have had a good life, and the motte page is one of your sources of intellectual stimulation - keep up the good work!
You bet I have done a lot of psychedelics... of healthy stuff! - 2 x cinnamon chai coffee, creatine, omega-3 + whole foods daily + 4 x resistance training + 2x 4x4 Norwegian cardio protocol + 7.5 hours sleep + gratitude + friends & family connection + always learning - in fact I learn from you too!
when you get into transhumanist stuff, you get into longetivity (dipping in Bryan Johnson vids but I ain't buying his expensive crap) + signed up to be a cryonist for a time-being, until the rich do something to transfer our consciousness to advance nanotech robotic body - hell yeh
I wish I were rich enough to do some psychedelic stuff - they look very fun to do, but I won't get into it cuz I'm worried about the addictiveness of it. For now, I'm planning a healthy, whole food coffee shop - I won't be adding MCT/CBD oil to the menu, surprisingly --- I am really otherwise a normal person that's into utopia stuff, wants to travel around the world doing touristy things, and own a simple coffee shop - not become a reseacher of something that's hinges on fallcies and otherworldy dimensions - metaphysics imma right?
At least I do those things for the time being until post-labour society & UBI get established for everyone - (they are projecting it happens around 2060?)
Thank you, I always love to learn from everyone - I love knowing pitfalls and when to get help (usually yeh from YT vids & LLM) - I am aware that there are cases of using LLM as therapist can lead to LLM psychosis & they just be bias & agreeable to you ---- but they free yooooo - I ain't rich --- but don't worry - I super happy & grateful to even need threapy and sometimes I have to therapy my friends really
When this is fun - nice to meet a fellow tranhumanist too!
