No, paradoxes exist for people in real life. Study zen buddhism, if you want evidence.

She wants to use paradoxes to make a point. If you don't want to understand my perspective, you don't want to.

Nope, I'm projecting from my own personal experience of having to combine everything I've ever read, learned, listened to, and thought with logic. And I'm female, oh no! Huzzah! Keep insulting -> make my perspective strong

by s-shellfish 8y ago
That's really not fair to women who want to be known as logical thinkers and are just starting to grow into it externally. You can call it pedantic fluff, I call it a coupled fear of having one's own mind appear hypermasculinized

How is what you do any different? Paradoxes can change how we reason. Being able to think about them allows oneself to refine an understanding to a static context of parts. Once that is complete, a paradox can be resolved by defining a logi

It's the combination of perpetually being reminded of how big the world is, compared to how small an impact an individual can have. That's just all it is. It's not narcissism. It's reality being a reminder, constantly -

I agree with this. I had a heightened degree of anxiety the other day and I wasn't sure why. I'm sure there's a reason, but I couldn't process it. It was completely different than the way I've experienced an awarene

It's honestly easier to just try to balance both perspectives - have empathy for people unless you want to destroy yourself by judging everyone that's not you until you slowly turn into everyone you think about because thinking ab

I don't think that's what happens.

You are projecting. Everything is always in a constant state of chaos. Order comes from the mind that decides to see order. Order is born into the mind that is born of chaos. My world is not turned upside by anything. My world has been turn

Literally that. Knee jerk reactions that have nothing to do with reality. Getting lost in lala land over beliefs that can't be proven, but are sentiment driven. Attachment.

I think people go between two modalities for understanding information, shallow and deep or selective and generalized. We, globally, have more information, but information alone is relatively flat. Knowledge can seem to form feedback loops.

Autonomy and self direction in chaotic environments are important. Having a strong value system as a foundation for which to make decisions on is essential. It's essential that this value system is not compromised, because loss of iden

Culture has changed dramatically and I hate to blame things on politics but i feel like that's exactly what it is. It's divided us all, made the identification of truth seem like a nonsensical fairytale, and those sentiments have

Yes, I think minds work better when they can be self oriented. I think my mind works better when it is self oriented, but I see feedback loops in behavior and interaction with people from which I could choose to make inferences from to deno

An artificial neural network has a mutable language. Trying to describe the behavior of an artificial neural network with language is somewhat absurd, because it effectively removes all the conventions and consequent problems caused by lang

What I'm talking about for humans starts on the very high levels of abstraction we tend to do it. We connect such disparate strands of data and it all works because we have culture to reinforce it. All that background information that

Honestly, I don't think anyone who suffers or sees suffering truly believes pushing someone in a path of suffering is the goal. I think it's always a convoluted process of reasoning to make sense of suffering that has happened and

I just feel like comparing a baby's experience to someone on lsd would likely mean language/models don't exist, therefore self doesn't exist, logic doesn't exist therefore cause and effect don't exist, or at le

There's no reason to go into academia unless you value it. There's no reason to be negative about it just because it looks like pretensiousness.

No, I just had an eating disorder, which could have killed me, but didn't. Art, yay. Starving tortured artist, intentionally? I don't know, honestly. My apologies if I read you wrong, that was not my intention. Words like robot to

Yes, I project my own issues frequently because I've explained my art to psychologists, counselors and therapists to the point that I realised all my art was doing was trying to explain my feelings to people around me about my mental i

My trouble stems from your judgement of art you don't seem actively involved in creating, therefore, art you don't understand. I assume you aren't involved in creating it because you are very negative about it. That said, if

I understand that sentiment. I also understand the other.

by s-shellfish 8y ago
I can't understand most of it, to be honest. My perspective is art can sometimes take centuries to make sense from the creator to the person that it's right for, so it doesn't make sense to expect a functioning, mechanized ec
