Entropy is not the number of possible states in a system. Entropy includes outcomes not predicted by the mental model. Convention teaches this incorrectly. I’m the black sheep, bhaaaa.

Well, this looney likes to point out that the manifold surface area (which is not always uniform) determines the rate of or density of distribution. All this is accounted for in the math selected for whichever for instance (“number of possi

> entropy is just a fancy word for ‘number of possible arrangements’ It isn’t though. Entropy is a fancy word for potential distribution over negative potential. Negative potential is the “surface area” over which potential may distribut

I am arguing that morality is in fact often declining (and rising) between generations, and this rise and fall happens so frequently the authors muddled their own point by citing it as a normalized (thus falsely plied) complaint. A generati

Emergent merely means where the outcome is functionally greater than merely the sum of parts. Simply arranging bytes in a way that produces value beyond the composition of those bytes is emergent.

It isn’t though. The study suggests morality would be a steadily declining slope throughout this time rather than a periodic wave if it were true. This is not so. It merely swings over shorter periods of generations. We have gone through ti

uConsole on preorder! Waited a whole six months. I thought it would be the size of a blackberry, though it is actually the size of a medium sized paperback book. The craftsmanship is excellent and it is gratifying to hold.

Everything in the human mind may be overridden. I can induce a state of voluntary psychotic response to pain which makes intense pain sweet, so sweet I want some more.

Whatever, your explanation is still backwards. The Universe is potential resolving into state through entropic dilation in the moment of now. Not independent state built up into the Universe as classical physics has always taught us. The em

This is interesting yet not really intellectually honest. It’s a cool word and many love the historical curiosities as such. Once upon a time Christianity was a minority of counter culturalists (“heretics” of their day) then came the popula

And it turns out to be America’s apatite for bullshit all along. What would come of a political platform which outed the dream of America as a borrowed, bankrupt lie? One too big to fail, which lumbers on at the expense of the lives of othe

You’re finicky, maybe you haven’t really found what’s right for you? The mind is a machine, if you keep it tuned it will last you and allow you to grow. You should certainly have the power to make yourself do anything. Try that game. Make y

For reference, I don’t have schizophrenia, and I am avidly outing auditory hallucinations as actual disembodied third parties (see past comments) who are a plague upon humanity. This in addition to schizophrenia being very real for others (
