its that at every scale

2017-08-29 21:11:41 UTC  

yeah it has to

2017-08-29 21:11:41 UTC  

you can't just magically get nondeterminism from determinism

2017-08-29 21:11:52 UTC  

I would love to be proven wrong because I'm not a nihilist at all but thats my understanding at the moment

2017-08-29 21:12:04 UTC  

isn't it a contradiction that you ponder this

2017-08-29 21:12:14 UTC  

proven wrong, how?

2017-08-29 21:12:19 UTC  

you cannot be proven wrong materially

2017-08-29 21:12:34 UTC  

I would like your world view to be true instead of mine

2017-08-29 21:13:07 UTC  

I think I may have a relevant link

2017-08-29 21:13:14 UTC  

maybe not explanatory

2017-08-29 21:13:15 UTC  

but relevant

2017-08-29 21:14:00 UTC  

alright

2017-08-29 21:15:12 UTC  

you can prove the immaterial via materialism as much as you can explain to a blind man what red is

2017-08-29 21:16:16 UTC  

anyway, the main point was, MBTI is insight into people, therefore it is sorcery

2017-08-29 21:16:28 UTC  

because consciousness is "magic"

2017-08-29 21:16:39 UTC  

I hope you appreciate why I didn't just say that before

2017-08-29 21:16:41 UTC  

after the above

2017-08-29 21:17:28 UTC  

MBTI is sorcerous also as an insight into self

2017-08-29 21:22:10 UTC  

yeah I understand what you mean

2017-08-29 21:23:15 UTC  

although I fear when reading these things that I'm constantly missing the point

2017-08-29 21:23:42 UTC  

no rush @J ·

2017-08-29 21:23:53 UTC  

don't have to come to an understanding of your own today

2017-08-29 21:24:55 UTC  

yeah, maybe more so @UOC , but it may not be appreciated as anything more than introspection by people with different metaphysical priors

2017-08-29 21:25:05 UTC  

whereas insight into others is obviously power

2017-08-29 21:28:41 UTC  

when starting from the premise that thinking is derived from perception, why does the fact that your thinking would be detached from reality discredit the idea? I would be happy to accept that everyone has their own slightly distorted view of what reality actually is

2017-08-29 21:31:42 UTC  

this is not about thinking per se, just experience

2017-08-29 21:31:56 UTC  

it is solely about perception, the thinking bit was related to determinism

2017-08-29 21:32:05 UTC  

and consciousness as solely material

2017-08-29 21:32:44 UTC  

lets take a different track entirely @J ·

2017-08-29 21:32:52 UTC  

ignoring everything just discussed

2017-08-29 21:32:58 UTC  

sure, I'm enjoying thinking about this anyways 😃

2017-08-29 21:33:20 UTC  

are you familiar with the double slit experiment?

2017-08-29 21:33:28 UTC  

yes

2017-08-29 21:33:29 UTC  

and its implications?

2017-08-29 21:33:33 UTC  

im majoring in physics

2017-08-29 21:33:40 UTC  

good, great

2017-08-29 21:33:55 UTC  

the observer is an irreducible part of phenomena

2017-08-29 21:33:59 UTC  

do you object to this statement?

2017-08-29 21:34:52 UTC  

im having a hard time thinking about that statement really

2017-08-29 21:35:01 UTC  

not quite sure what you mean
