I see that. I just have a hard time seeing how it is related to my question. Euclidean geometry was an "obvious mathematical certainty". Until it wasn't, and we learned that there are no "obvious mathematical certainties

Can you elaborate on the process by which you created this definition?

Investors don't use this definition. For one because it contains something you cannot measure yet: consciousness. How to find out if something has probably consciousness? Much less clearly? What is consciousness?

I can think of N as a process in a sense, because I can keep adding a number. But I can't think of R as a process like this, specifically because there is no surjective mapping from N to R. How would you think of R as a process?

Maybe it's only me, but "cannabis scientists" seems another one of these nonsense words that content creators make up to make their product sound smart. It slowly diffuses into mainstream journalism, and I'm really sorry

Put this way (P and GP) this makes a lot more sense. Thank you, glad you chose to share!

While I enjoyed the essay, I have my quarrels with it. First of all the over-generalization: why would all successful people do the same thing? Why would there be only one road to succees? People are different. Second: the lack of definitio

Do you have auditory imagination? I am asking because I was struggling with memory techniques like memory palaces. Turned later out I'm a visual aphantast, but I can imagine songs, chords, sounds. Maybe it's just the way you funct

That is true. The point I wanted to make however was rather that ontology moved on. The creed stayed the same. Medicine is still complex, but moved on a bit since the good old days of the four humors.

I'm genuinely curious. What would that be? Judging by their creeds it's believing that Easter really happened, and that the highest being is a composition that must be explained in hard to understand greek ontological terms.

Assuming that you did not want to make the simple statement that their meanings or referents are different (because people usually don't doubt that), I can give you a counter example: With all the studies finding correlation between sm

Schopenhauer would disagree. In his world model the Will with capital W is probably best described as the driving force behind all movement. While abstract, it has concrete species (think color vs red, where color is will, and red is your c

Well, I left academia 20 years ago, because of the perceived corruption and selfishness. I guess you just need to be lucky, no matter where you go. Good luck anyways, I hope better times are on the horizon.

Overall, would you say it was worth it? I'm asking because I feel like I'm getting myself into a comparable situation.

"Throwing a die, a number higher than 1 is very likely." - "And yet I threw a 1." That is no contradiction. That being said I hope you can overcome the issues that make your life a struggle.

I don't think it is weird. This button really has nothing to do with the product and it's use case as far as I can see. That is what GP is pointing out as far as I can see.
