I can offer a diverse sampling of ontological viewpoints through the lens of a chicken crossing the road. This exercise will showcase how different philosophical traditions might interpret this simple action. Let's dive in: 1. Platonic Idealism: The chicken crosses an imperfect shadow of the ideal "road" that exists in the realm of Forms. 2. Aristotelian Realism: The chicken's essence as a "road-crosser" is actualized through the act of crossing. 3. Cartesian Dualism: "I think, therefore I cross." The chicken's mind directs its physical body across the material road. 4. Berkeleyan Idealism: The road exists only in the mind of the chicken and the observers. If no one perceives it, does the crossing occur? 5. Kantian Transcendental Idealism: The chicken experiences the phenomenal appearance of crossing the road, but the noumenal reality remains unknowable. 6. Hegelian Dialectic: The chicken (thesis) meets the road (antithesis), resulting in crossing (synthesis). 7. Nietzschean Perspectivism: The chicken creates its own meaning by willing itself across the road, embracing the eternal recurrence of road-crossing. 8. Sartrean Existentialism: The chicken is condemned to be free and must create its own essence through the authentic act of crossing. 9. Heideggerian Phenomenology: The chicken's "being-in-the-world" is revealed through its engagement with the road as ready-to-hand equipment for crossing. 10. Wittgensteinian Language Games: The meaning of "crossing the road" is determined by its use in the language game of chicken behavior. 11. Quantum Mechanics Interpretation: The chicken exists in a superposition of states, both having crossed and not crossed, until observed. 12. Buddhist Emptiness (Śūnyatā): The chicken, the road, and the act of crossing are all empty of inherent existence, arising dependently. 13. Taoist Perspective: The chicken crosses without crossing, embodying wu wei (non-action) in harmony with the Tao. 14. Whiteheadian Process Philosophy: The chicken's crossing is a series of momentary occasions of experience, continuously becoming and perishing. 15. Derridean Deconstruction: The binary opposition of "this side" and "that side" of the road is problematized by the chicken's crossing. These perspectives offer a glimpse into how different philosophical traditions might approach the ontological question of a chicken crossing the road. Each view provides a unique lens on the nature of existence, reality, and the relationship between subject and object. Would you like me to elaborate on any of these perspectives or explore additional ontological viewpoints? 16. Leibnizian Monadology: The chicken is a monad, containing within itself the entire universe of road-crossing possibilities. 17. Spinozan Pantheism: The chicken, the road, and the crossing are all modes of a single, divine substance. 18. Humean Empiricism: We can observe the chicken's constant conjunction with road-crossing, but can't prove necessary connection. 19. Lockean Representationalism: The chicken's idea of "road" is a representation formed from its sensory experiences of crossing. 20. Marxist Historical Materialism: The chicken's road-crossing is determined by the material conditions of poultry production. 21. Foucauldian Discourse Analysis: The chicken's crossing is shaped by societal power structures and discourses about poultry mobility. 22. Kuhnian Paradigm Shift: The chicken revolutionizes "normal poultry science" by proposing a new paradigm of road-crossing. 23. Popperian Falsificationism: "All chickens cross roads" is scientific only if we can conceive of a chicken that doesn't cross. 24. Pragmatism (James/Dewey): The truth of the chicken's crossing is determined by its practical consequences. 25. Phenomenology (Merleau-Ponty): The chicken's embodied experience of the road shapes its perception and crossing behavior. 26. Structuralism (Lévi-Strauss): The chicken's crossing reveals underlying structures of avian-road relations in cultural systems. 27. Post-structuralism (Barthes): The meaning of the chicken's crossing is constantly deferred, never fully present. 28. Simulated Reality (Bostrom): The chicken, road, and crossing might all be part of a computed simulation. 29. Stoicism: The chicken crosses with virtuous indifference, accepting its fate as determined by the logos. 30. Epicureanism: The chicken crosses seeking ataraxia, free from the anxiety of staying on one side. 31. Skepticism (Pyrrhonian): We must suspend judgment about whether the chicken truly crossed or why. 32. Solipsism: Only the chicken's mind is sure to exist; the road and crossing may be figments of its imagination. 33. Logical Positivism: The chicken's crossing is meaningful only if it can be empirically verified. 34. Critical Theory (Frankfurt School): The chicken's crossing reveals and challenges the oppressive structures of road-based society. 35. Feminist Standpoint Theory: The chicken's crossing must be understood from its situated perspective as a layer or broiler. 36. Postmodernism (Lyotard): The grand narrative of road-crossing is rejected in favor of local, contextual chicken movements. 37. Actor-Network Theory (Latour): The chicken's crossing is a network of actants including the road, traffic, and cultural norms. 38. Object-Oriented Ontology (Harman): The road, chicken, and crossing withdraw from full access, harboring hidden depths. 39. New Materialism (Barad): The chicken and road intra-act, mutually constituting each other through material-discursive practices. 40. Speculative Realism (Meillassoux): We can think the chicken's crossing as it exists independent of chicken or human thought. This expanded list further illustrates the diverse ways philosophical traditions approach questions of existence, reality, and being. Each perspective offers a unique lens on the seemingly simple act of a chicken crossing a road, revealing the complexity and depth of ontological inquiry. Would you like me to continue with more examples, or perhaps dive deeper into any specific perspective?

I randomly checked my 5-Meo-DMT today and it was completely gray. I don't know what that represents, have any of you had this experience?

@BlessedLion if you click "stats for nerds" on your latest YouTube video, it shows that your content loudness is at -5 db This means that your content could have been five decimals louder. And the problem is people associate loudness with quality, and so when they switch from other videos to your video they notice a reduction in sound and then interpret that as " low quality". It's a unfortunate psychological trick.

I've seen enough AI conversation to know that this was generated. Unless you're just a great writer! lol there's a book in your image maybe that's the thing, all Advent readers are great writers.

Right after eating you're supposed to rinse your mouth with water, move your tongue around to clean, then scrape with your fingernails anything else, if you don't want to use fingernail use a stick but that might not be cleaner. With this technique you need to have teeth mindfulness, you should intuitively know when your mouth is dirty or not, if it is you do the routine. I haven't brushed by teeth in 6 years, I have 0 smell in my breath even in the morning, white teeth and no teeth issue of any kind. Something (might not be plaque) does naturally build on teeth depending on what you eat, so you got to scrape it off, and the nail likely evolved for this purpose. Because humans with nails had better teeth hygiene and are more likely to survive.

Nice! Thanks guys, I'm going to make a animated sci-fi video on this concept in the future. The ideal is a Kurzgesagt level Polish video but explaining spirituality.

@Thought Art Summary Housing Development in Kitchener, Ontario: - Planned to build four condo towers with a rooftop sports field. - Project would add over 500 residential units to an area with tight housing supply. - Project approved in 2020; the first tower expected to be ready by 2024. - Only one tower was started, and it wasn’t finished. - Over 200 housing developments went insolvent last year alone, nearly 50% higher than the 10-year average. - Real estate-related insolvencies have been the highest for the past year. Challenges Facing Housing Developments: - Developers usually sell 70% of units before construction to secure bank loans. - Banks are hesitant to lend if the 70% threshold isn’t met. - Developers are stuck if construction costs rise unexpectedly after securing loans. - Pandemic led to a surge in demand and prices, pushing costs up by over 50% between 2020 and 2023. - Materials like concrete and structural steel saw price increases of 55% and 53%, respectively. - Labor shortages caused delays and wage increases of almost 10%. - Development fees and taxes also rose significantly, adding millions in costs. Financial Strain on Developers: - Development fees increased by 51% in five years. - Interest rates on loans have risen, making repayment difficult as loans grow larger. - Developers face a perfect storm of rising costs: materials, labor, fees, taxes, and interest. Impact on Homebuyers and Developers: - Failed projects leave buyers without homes and deposits at risk. - Developers struggle to recover costs when they’ve sold units at pre-pandemic prices. - New units are often priced 30-40% higher than original units, making them hard to sell. - New condo sales in the Greater Toronto Area down 57% from the previous year, 72% below the 10-year average. Long-Term Implications: - Rising costs and market conditions make it difficult to build new housing. - Developers may pull out of projects altogether if they can’t sell units at profitable prices. - The solution to the housing crisis isn’t as simple as just building more supply.

@BlessedLion lmao when i release the one im making ill link it. This is the older one i made, but i messed up the audio before release. Its incredibly hard to make anything good... im still trying to figure this out

So immigration is a side note and has no real importance in the big picture of why large economic movements happen. Is this The General point?

What helps me get over it is actually seeing them speak and interact with other people and realizing how unhealthy and average they actually are. But you're in trouble if she's the dream Pixie Girl

Lmaoo I agree for the most part, my line of thinking was that let me investigate fears conservative have and see if there's some partial truth to it. Like what's the pros and cons of immigrants? If there's no negative to uncontrolled immigration then why aren't we encouraging Mass immigration. If immigration = equals more economic growth than we should be poaching people from other countries and trying to amass the largest population, right? Why aren't we doing this? Again this is speculation I don't understand the topic.

Ai animated Documentaries from the future, I'm still a beginner doe. I wanted to use AI video generation to make fake documentaries as if they are coming from the future.

Got to start deleting older images, you can manage storage in the settings.

I just spent 5 hours editing 1 minute of video. lmao

I'm not intentionally doing this. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/230927/dq230927a-eng.htm I'm reciting whatever statistics I'm seeing. So it seems that we just hit a record high for one year and the average is half a million. I don't have a biased immigration view this is just speculation! I understand that it's multifaceted like you've been saying, my initial post at the top has already been corrected lol.

We have a winner! Just enough subtle trauma to be motivated enough to work as a moderator for free!

You've reached chatGPT status, intelligence without ego,

To be a moderator you need at least five 0%, but if you have more than eight you can't be trusted to have self-awareness.

But they make up for it in sadistic 82%, everything in balance lmao

My results. lMAOOOO The description has some truth to it, but I don't flaunt My Success to others, I do the opposite, I emphasize their strengths and try to raise them up as high as possible. Unless I'm in a bad mood on the Forum lmao I think the description was more true when I was younger like 20 years old, Now That I'm Older everything is far more relaxed.

I gave the test to a friend.

@Leo Gura What are you doing in post-editing to clean up the audio?
