Is energy a process (in work)? Or a state (agitation)? Or just a bluff, explaining another bluff, made up by physicists?
A bluff requires a motive.
What motive do you discern, other than to make the incomprehensible comprehensible?
Heraclitus used the metaphor of fire, to express the same idea. he could not have known energy as we know it.
Energy is a state of agitation…when it is ordered it has a pattern, when it is not, it is chaotic.
Consciousness perceives and interprets patterns as things…with four perceptible kinds: energy, gas, liquid, solid…relative to its own metabolic speeds, determinism the speed of its percolation.
So, a pattern that is slow, relative to the observers processing speed, is interpreted as being solid…
A demon might pretend to be naive for the sake of provocation. If there is the uncreated—it is not substantial. That is, part of existence in the form of a bluff, a lie, or a fabrication, like energy. Humans—lower level of thinking (biological).
Subjectivity, thinking from the general.
Objectivity, from the particular.
Your presumption of a ‘demon’ requires evidence, or, at least, reasoning.
What was the question about? It’s that only the completeness of understanding, meaning subjective and objective thinking, gives complete understanding.
No, nothing is ever completed.
Uncertainty remains…Chaos, by itself, prevents total awareness.
A contradiction of reality? If this contradiction exists, then it is real. So, where is the lie here?
Distortion of the visible? Are you sure you see everything? Radio waves—lies?
No, I most certainly do not see “EVERYTHING.”
I am no god…nor is it necessary.
how do I test my understanding?
First hand - application
Second hand - observation of another’s application.
Third hand - reading or listening to another observations.
I’ll pity you. A lie is what is beyond the boundaries of what is recognized as truth or veracity. But in the case of humans, recognition means nothing. After all, you live, therefore you exist, and certainly you think—only in lies.
Projection.
Interesting that you chose to express your pity…is it a projection of your own self-pity?
Do you want to be pitied, but wish to conceal your decrepitude by universalizing it?
Why do men deny race and gender?
Because they fear being categorized and excluded.
Philosophy is the science that defines the vectors of development for all other sciences.
Unnecessarily convoluted pseud-intellectual jargon…pretending to be saying something profound.
You could have said the unification of human understanding and knowledge…but you chose to lie.
Science comes form philosophy, dear boy…
Science is rooted in philosophy. Science is philosophical insights being applied and tested.
Wisdom is the refusal to seek knowledge in favor of the belief that you already know everything.
What?!
Is that how you understand philosophy?
Explains a lot about you.
Do you wish the other to show humility?
Maybe he can include a disclaimer with every opinion he utters, to not pretend he 'knows everything."
Allowing you to not feel insecure.
Understanding is manipulation with concepts.
Another admission of guilt.
Are you confessing?
Concepts are dogmatically accepted milestones of understanding.
Well they can become so…but how are concepts created?
You are focused on how they are imposed.
The mind works simply, there’s nothing to study here.
So would say every simple mind.
It’s enough to understand what the mind is and stop using fabrications.
The mind is divided by doubts and capable of holding contradictions, reason.
Is it “enough” for you?
How can a mind simultaneously hold two contradictory views, without suffering any distress?
The answer is found in understanding how the mind creates concepts.
But you are not interested…too complex.
Reason is a mechanism for processing information (usually in biological beings).
But conditionally, one can talk about the “mind” of a machine.
I hope now you’ll know why machines are not reasonable.
So, you are here to teach…why machines are not reasonable, without explaining how concepts are formed and why a mind can hold two contradictory views…
How can a mind synthesize, for instance, two phenomena, a goat and a man, and imagine a none existent creature…a satyr?
How can it do this?
If it knows it is its own fabrication it isn’t’ immersed in a lie of its own creation…but what if it is convinced that its creations, its subjectivity, is the real world?
Would it not be lying to itself…as a way of coping with a world it finds unbearable?
