Consciousness prefers pets

[PolyPeter]

This is clickabit, Consciousness does not prefer pets.

But humans do.

One is about dying, dissolving into absolute nothingness, and coming back to build a tool that stress-tests your entire worldview against 6 levels of philosophical scrutiny.

The other is about pets.

I'm not complaining. I just think it says something interesting about where attention actually lives.
Even on a forum dedicated to the deepest questions a human can ask.

The reason why people don't reply is because they are autistic. Autistic people have elaborate worldviews but it took them super long to get to that point because they take a long time to process new information, since they process more deeply and precisely.

Leos worldview for example is always changing, but just very slowly. You can see how slow when you look at his blog. This is not a bad thing, it is a "symptom" of epistemic integrity.

When you dump autistic people with new information, it usually takes them multiple days, weeks or even months to process the new information.

But if it is good, they will eventually grasp the truth very deeply, it just takes a long time.

Also ontology is maybe more niche than you think. The reason why I replied is because I happen to be working on an ontology. But I also need more time to see the potential in your idea.

I have the same problem with people not immediately seeing the potential in my ideas, trust me. Just keep posting. Be patient. Don't be discouraged.

Hey

this was a very insightful message
 

In particular when you mentioned how niche this actually is, and I think I underestimated. 

Just the word Ontology alone already feels niche, I have to explain it almost everytime I use it.

 

I will keep working on this, for sure! 

The internal drive I have for this, is existential
