Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Not my words.

Not my words.
- hardbass 7d agoThat magic means a different thing from supernatural magic.
- lolakutty 7d agoOh, What does it mean then? You are so amusing....
- hardbass 7d agoIts a purely physical mechanism but one that is currently beyond our understanding. "Magic" magic is belief in souls, eg brains have aphysical magic.
- lolakutty 7d agoWhy do you think "souls" can't have some physical mechanism that is beyond our current understanding?
- hardbass 7d agoIf you think "souls" have some physical mechanism then they are not souls by the definition I am using. We would then agree, though I do not yet think we have found reason for new physical laws to be required, however that can of course be a possibility.
- lolakutty 7d ago>they are not souls by the definition Kindly share that concrete definition..
- hardbass 7d agoIt should have been clear from our discussion when I said "souls" I meant belief in the non-physical. Magic juice in the brain that is unexplainable by physics at all. Being unexplainable by current physics but explainable by future physics is not a "soul" by that definition.
- lolakutty 7d ago> non-physical. Now, what is your definition for this?
- hardbass 7d agoGo ask the people who believe in it. I for one cannot understand how something aphysical can affect our thoughts and decisions. But some think consciousness resides outside of physical systems entirely.
- lolakutty 7d agoBut you said it, so you should have a definition, or else what did you mean to communicate by saying it? Or are you just parroting cool sounding words and phrases?
