Well Hacker News is definitely not the medium for this discussion, I'll grant you that.
It's not clear to me where is a better choice.
Could go for phys.org or stackoverflow I guess, but equally inane.
Nobody likes to talk about metaphysics, which is what this is really about I guess. For good reason I suppose.
Then again, before Darwin and Einstein, everything was very clear.
Right now very rational people are looking into string theory, pilot wave theory, simulated universes and a heck of a lot more.
Meanwhile, we are attempting to build self driving cars, automated systems that tempt us to buy crap we don't need and reduce the planet to a winner takes all philosophy. Nothing about that seems "Human"
Entertain me on why the universe isn't trying to build its own god. Happy to take the discussion elsewhere.
- posterboy 10y agoI am not going to entertain you on that. Nevermind I can't tell how serious you are because written text loses a lot of context, I'm just not going to tempt you when you introduced the whole idea saying you are tired of atheist arguments. Let's say I am a skeptic and if you make extraordinary claims, they better had been convincing. I'll give you that "exist to exist", or an autonym god, for lack of a better word, seems to be a logical fix-point, which is notable given the name Y Combinator. At that point I want to quote wikipedia, which would mean I am out of my waters and shouldn't be baiting for someone to correct my ad-hoc interpretation. All that to say, this argument is trite indeed.
