  • Ive wrestled with spirituality for a while now, and and don't know what to do?

    跳过

  • Its impossible for the consciouss mind to not experience anything

    Lot of people would disagree on this. A lot of spiritual practices are exactly about experiencing the non-experience, experience what cannot be described, explained or thought. If you're lazy, a big enough of an LSD dose will bring you there in a couple of hours.

  • Spirituality is the system you use to create reality. Reality is not a given, it's something you build for yourself. What you're describing is also a very specific spiritual and metaphysical system.

  • I'm talking about a private individual invading the physical and digital spaces of public institutions with the president providing political cover and stopping other parts of the state to intervene. That's a self-coup. Nothing like that happened in Italy and so far the government is operating within legality.

  • anywhere outside Milan you won't be able to rely on English for anything. Bureaucracy and services are going to be a nightmare without conversational Italian.

  • No self-coup happened yet, most constitutional freedoms are still respected, there are no political extra-judicial arrests (or at least not that many). Except for some repression of communitarian spaces and public protests, it is not sensibly different from any center/center-right neoliberal government.

  • What Pseudoscience do you Believe?

    跳过

  • It's obviously an open topic of debate in philosophy, but genes have agency for some definition of agency.

    In a cybernetic sense, they have agency in the sense that the information within them transforms the world way more than the world affects their information. They are more players than chessboard.

    For people like Dennet, which I'm not necessarily a fan of, you can think of agency (and therefore freedom) as the ability of any unit of matter to prevent its dissolution in the face of threats. Life can be framed as a strategy of DNA to reproduce itself in the face of entropy. That is agency.

  • What Pseudoscience do you Believe?

    跳过

  • Agency is not will though. For sure genes have no will and neither does sand

  • What Pseudoscience do you Believe?

    跳过

  • While genetic agency is often appropriated by reactionary politics, it's a quite established scientific perspective.

  • What Pseudoscience do you Believe?

    跳过

  • ITT: very little pseudoscience. It's pseudoscience only when you try to pass something non-scientific as science (understood in the modernist sense). There are plenty of systems of knowledge that are outside of science and don't really care about passing as science when making statements about the world: metaphysics, theology, cybernetics, open systems theory, and so forth. Those are not pseudosciences.

  • What Pseudoscience do you Believe?

    跳过

  • Science cannot even prove itself as a method. Science is just spicy epistemology.

  • What Pseudoscience do you Believe?

    跳过

  • Memetics is not really pseudoscience. It was science, there there were compelling evidence and arguemtns that ideas have no agency on their own, contrary to genes, and the whole field died for good.

  • What Pseudoscience do you Believe?

    跳过

  • but then it's a social force, and social force can be turned into a physical force. I would say any cybernetician would agree with this. Social signals are part of the same system of physical signals. Then we can argue cybernetics is not science but rather its own paradigm, but that's a different conversation.

  • 'Everything I Say Leaks,' Zuckerberg Says in Leaked Meeting Audio

    跳过

  • because a media outlet goes where there are viewers. They write to be read, so there's little benefit in going on platforms where there's nobody.

  • Webcam on/off: workplace vs political spaces

    跳过

  • You cannot escape social norms. The act of rejecting them doesn't free you from them. You will be judged for rejecting them and others will adapt to it, either by rejecting them too and creating a new social norm, or shunning you and attaching a certain rejection to a specific social signal. There's nothing artificial on it. The logic you describe is very oblivious to how social norms and social actors work.

    Also here we are talking about webcams not really as technological artifacts, but as social tools. Obviously it's not a technical requirement to be presentable, but a social requirement, that's implicit in the discussion.

  • Webcam on/off: workplace vs political spaces

    跳过

  • "Virtual backgrounds as the norm" is an interesting practice, pretty much like school uniforms erasing difference in class by dressing everybody the same.

  • Webcam on/off: workplace vs political spaces

    跳过

  • virtual and blurred backgrounds still signal a lot. Not only they let the viewer know that your environment is not nice, but they also become aware you're somewhat ashamed of it, enough to be willing to hide it.

  • Your thoughts on the concentration of users around big and flagship instances ?

    跳过

  • If the protocol doesn't give incentives for an even distribution of users, it's not going to be solved by blaming individual instances or individual users.

  • Free Our Feeds: "it will take independent funding and governance to turn Bluesky’s underlying tech—the AT Protocol—into something more powerful than a single app"

    跳过

  • There's no evidence to support what you're talking about. Mastodon, Misskey and Lemmy monthly active users flatlined a long ago. They are not growing and there's no evidence they will resume to grow in these conditions.

    A multi-protocol network might not be unlikely, but it will still be very asymetric, with AP as a secondary actor. Power shapes technology, not the other way around.
