probably not but maybe

2019-12-14 23:28:33 UTC  

lol

2019-12-14 23:28:40 UTC  

would be interesting

2019-12-14 23:28:45 UTC  

that I'm unsure of, because of the probabalistic nature of it

2019-12-14 23:29:38 UTC  

all quantum mechanics really says is that you can never really be sure

2019-12-14 23:30:33 UTC  

but the transistor shows that it is useful

2019-12-14 23:31:14 UTC  

I mean, the human brain would likely not be a good place to host a quantum computer as we understand them currently

2019-12-14 23:31:38 UTC  

but if humans can use them for certain calculations maybe the brain can to a certain extent?

2019-12-14 23:31:48 UTC  

given enough millions of years of evolution?

2019-12-14 23:33:03 UTC  

well, that's my point; human thought is largely uncertain as it operates at a fundamentally probabalistic level

2019-12-14 23:35:19 UTC  

even simple maths can't be considered a bitwise operation in the brain as the concept of numbers is learned and is likely grounded in some form of pattern encoding in multiple neurons and axons

2019-12-14 23:36:09 UTC  

whereas in a binary computer, each bit resolves down to a single transistor that is either high or low

2019-12-14 23:37:11 UTC  

so you think quantum shennanigans in the brain are a possibility? (sorry this field is not my forte but its interesting lol)

2019-12-14 23:37:32 UTC  

the brain *is quantum*

2019-12-14 23:38:16 UTC  

I don't think it's at all discrete

2019-12-14 23:38:30 UTC  

unlike a normal computer

caveat: I've been thinking and reading about thought all my life, and I'm still unsure if I know anything.

2019-12-14 23:42:13 UTC  

now I'm :mindblown:

2019-12-15 03:02:48 UTC  

Yeah, one thing that sucks when trying to figure out how thought works is that I feel like human language is sorely lacking when it comes to describing the intricacies of how the mind works

2019-12-15 03:03:11 UTC  

talk to 100 philosophers about consciousness and you will probably have 100 definitions

2019-12-15 03:03:20 UTC  

talk to 100 philosophers about intelligence and you will probably have 100 definitions

2019-12-15 03:04:02 UTC  

it seems like its a huge problem because its almost impossible to talk about how consciousness works without talking past one another due to not having the same definitions.

supporting the hong kong rioters is supporting degeneracy

2019-12-15 04:27:08 UTC  

also, look at the caption under the Pelosi one

2019-12-15 04:27:25 UTC  

don't associate pelosi with socialism

2019-12-15 04:27:27 UTC  

we don't want her

2019-12-15 04:28:12 UTC  

When the UK controlled HK was it called Hong Bong?

2019-12-15 04:28:25 UTC  

probably

2019-12-15 04:30:31 UTC  

what's with all the gay shit?

2019-12-15 04:31:37 UTC  

hong kong trying to be western

2019-12-15 04:31:58 UTC  

because that way they will get more trade and corporations will love them

2019-12-15 04:32:03 UTC  

i wish people would ask that more often tbh

2019-12-15 04:32:09 UTC  

ask that question

2019-12-15 11:39:33 UTC  

@DA GOMMIE JOO That’s why I’m supporting them

2019-12-16 01:07:40 UTC  

so, with reguards to the definitions of objective and subjective as we were talking about in meme channel it seems like some of the people here don't like the dictionary definition of objective and think such a definition is bad because in means that almost nothing is objective thus rendering the word not very useful. I would argue in response that using the word objective for subjective things is even worse because at that point both words basically mean the same thing. Its like abusing the word literally for things that are meant figuratively. It does not enhance the word literally to use it poorly and it does not enhance the word objective to use it poorly either.

Jesus is the only God

no
