    As a fan of Ursula K. Le Guin, the central theme is one sorely missed. This has been a controversial critique in terms of karma (up and down so many times it has leveled out.) It’s…

    How many times does the author slit a kids throat? Yeah, we must have read different stories.

    What a horrific nonsensical rant that clearly misses the point of the story. Save yourself the eyesores, don’t click. The Omelas narrative challenges the psychological maxim that s…

    This is not new. Potential resolves through constructive and destructive interference as state in the moment of now. State is not the building block of existential reality (as clas…

    Yep. 15+ years and counting. I’ll power up VSCodium from time to time to quickly flip through reams of pages of code, though I’m always annoyed at the faux vi features and end up d…

    Complicated means more Extraneous and more than necessary. Complexity means an order of magnitude beyond an immediate account. Resilience requires that failure at one level minimiz…

    I would disagree on one hand as mechanisms can and shall inevitably outperform human thought capacity at some scale. And agree on another, the human mind is an efficient quantum co…

    If we could only turn off the media stream and live civilized lives without worrying what global destabilization would bring us.

    Why sniping Penrose? Some scandal for which I am not aware? His explanations of manifold contours was an epiphany of enlightenment for me.

    Not process. Potential is composed of the super-amplitude. Process would be the physical system influencing the resolve (which may vary allowing different technological approaches,…

    Modernity sees state as the building block of reality. Quantum dynamics says it is POTENTIAL through constructive and destructive interference resolving into state in the moment of…

    Information is the reduction of uncertainty. If it does not reduce uncertainty it is not information. Intelligence is the mitigation of uncertainty. The revelation of the light is …

    A thermostat is certainly intelligent. The definition of intelligent I give is “to mitigate uncertainty.” If it does not mitigate uncertainty, it is not intelligent. It is merely o…

    A perspective on the definition of consciousness. Sorry I didn’t respond in line to the comments I am actually addressing. I thought it overall relevant. By all this I am saying co…

    Throwing out the definition of consciousness as “the inflection upon the potential of existential being.” All matter in the universe is dormant consciousness and life technology an…

    It may be better to merely use a versioning field and allow some entries to be hidden by mods (published/draft/hidden indicator.) Rollbacks at the database level will make things h…

    Thought control is far more advanced than any modern layperson can grasp. Our minds are analog quantum tech and can be linked through entanglement. They’re not just mind fucking yo…
