  1. @YourConstruct Which video did you watch?
  2. Stephen Wolfram, founder of the journal Complex Systems (early involved with the Santa Fe institute), explains the limits of falsification (among other things) in a conversation with Eric Weinstein about their "Theories of Everything". 1:13:05 1:56:25 is also very interesting.
  3. @Preety_India Stop I just ate ?
  4. Apparently, the average age when philosophers create their most influential work is 44, and their breakthrough will in many cases be delayed even further. We still haven't seen the best yet. http://schwitzsplinters.blogspot.com/2010/05/at-what-age-do-philosophers-do-their.html
  5. 35:38-37:05 It starts off as a funny rant but it ends pretty deep . He talks about why people love Pirates of the Caribbean and ends it with "Life is love".
  6. This is just my guess: if the vegan diet had the worst effects on him, I think the fruitarian diet would be even worse.
  7. I mean just think about it: if "the whole" as you call it consists of somebody performing an action (rape), then how does somebody else performing an action (you stopping rape) somehow contradict with the whole? Again, invoking "the whole" as a way to deal with moral questions ("a part") is not really useful. The whole is the whole regardless.
  8. If that is true, then not stopping the rapist would also be a selfish act as you're rejecting a part of yourself and identifying with only a part of the whole rather than the whole of which you are. It's a mute point. Absolute selflessness/selfishness is not relevant to moral questions. All morality is anyway selfish.
  9. Just a reminder that if you use "the absolute" as an excuse to be an asshole, you fundamentally misunderstand what it is.
  10. Neopositivism - the spectre of epistemic blindness that has plagued the sciences for nearly 100 years. The doctrine of "we ought to revere verificationism as THE scientific methodology" is self-defeating, because 1. you cannot use verificationism to verify whether we ought to adopt verificationism, and 2. most scientists don't even follow it either (which is actually a good thing). When "proven wrong", instead of throwing out their theory, they pull out from the public sphere, hold on to their theory and attempt to smooth out the flaws and refine it. That is how science progresses: not by mechanical elimination but creative innovation.
  11. This is a classic case of conflating the relative with the absolute. You intervening is also "letting God's experience play out". Choosing either scenario is anyway the absolute. All moral questions are relative in the first place, so any answer to such a question would be a relative one. The absolute is just what is the case; invoking it makes no difference. If you use it as an excuse to be an asshole, you fundamentally misunderstand what it is.
  12. Technically you would be eating something. Carbohydrates is food Any calories coming from the outside will mess with the process of going into ketosis and make it even more unbearable.
  13. What — Actualized.org child safety filter?
  14. and carbohydrates which would end the fast.
  15. @lmfao Seems like I'm 5w4
  16. Yes, they're very similar actually. Fi is just misunderstood. I test 60/40 INFP/INTP, but Fi just explains me too well. I haven't gotten into enneagram yet, but I've been wanting to for a while. Maybe I'll take the test for it soon
  17. Then how come Zizek and Foucault which he criticized in the video (both continental philosophers) are both NeTi (ENTP)? I wouldn't equate "abstract" with "meaning behind phenomena" nor assign any of those to just Ni, because 1. all intuitive functions (Ne and Ni) are dealing with abstractions (it's sensing functions like Si and Se that are more concrete), and 2. INTPs (like Leo) and INFPs (like myself) are very concerned with meaning, metaphysics etc. (xiNe). A better word to describe Ti other than "concrete" would be... well, "introverted, logical decision-making", as it's an introverted judging function. Ti describes a particular way that information is processed after being gathered from the perceiving functions (Ne/Ni/Se/Si) and used to make decisions, and those decisions can be just as much about concrete matters (sensory/physical stuff) as abstract matters (intuitive/mental stuff)
  18. INFJ has tert Ti which could explain why you pick up on some INTP vibes. INFJ's Ni dominance is already very future oriented. Add an aux extroverted judging function (Fe) and you got a powerful drive towards manifestation.
  19. Oh shit, my bad. I forgot he's an INFJ, not INTJ. https://www.personality-database.com/
  20. The Western conception of karma has gotten contaminated by Christian morality and the concept of sin. Karma in its original conception is more akin to Newton's laws of motion, only applied to human life.
