How can you deal with the indifference of the universe at the same time you deal with the meaning and symbols humans constantly create?
>>
>>18554550
Without even understanding much physics, I learned a long time ago everything is just physics and it doesn't need to make sense to you as long as it is consistent with physics laws lol.
>>
>>18554554
Are you saying philosophy is a mistake?
>>
>>18554550
>How can you deal with the indifference of the universe
You can start by realizing you're making a category error.
>>
>>18554550
idk, it comes to me naturally i guess? i fail to see the problem
>>
>>18554562
Explain

>>18554563
It's difficult to explain: I'm just so attached to ego and concepts and identity.

I don't know what to believe.
>>
>>18554568
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_mistake
>A category mistake (or category error, categorical mistake, or mistake of category) is a semantic or ontological error in which things belonging to a particular category are presented as if they belong to a different category,[1] or, alternatively, a property is ascribed to a thing that could not possibly have that property.
>>
>>18554571
Is this really necessary?
>>
>>18554582
I don't know what kind of explanation you wanted. Saying "the universe is indifferent" makes about as much sense as saying "the number 3 is indifferent". The adjective is inapplicable. If you can't even state your case without using this sloppy, sentimental, manipulative language, maybe you don't actually have one.
>>
>>18554599
>Saying "the universe is indifferent" makes about as much sense as saying "the number 3 is indifferent".

Correct, and you understood my question if you're saying this.

So why can't you take your intelligence and use it to answer things on terms that makes sense to me? Because clearly you know what I meant.

>If objective reality is indifferent, wat do?
>>
>>18554612
>If objective reality is indifferent
It is neither indifferent nor concerned.
>>
>>18554625
So it is indifferent.

>But it can't be concerned

I know, but that's how my mind understand stuff

>That's stupid

I know that too, but I can't just think differently, it's how I learned and learn things.

Anyway. So it's just physics. That sucks. Do I blow my brains out because my mind doesn't understand reality correctly?
>>
>>18554612
Your terms are fundamentally flawed and incorrect, so it's not a worthwhile question.
>>
>>18554631
>Your terms are fundamentally flawed and incorrect

That doesn't mean anything
>>
>>18554612
People and rocks and murder and kindness and serendipity all come out of the same process. You think calling some abstract collection "indifferent" is a statement about reality but it's really a statement about your attitude. Your brain is "indifferent" in the same sense the universe is.
>>
>>18554634
Neither does your question.
>>
>>18554637
>but it's really a statement about your attitude.

How come?

You talk as if I could change reality by simply thinking differently.

>>18554638
Why?
>>
>>18554641
>How come?
Thanks for demonstrating my point with this mongoloid post. I don't know why Western teens think Existentialism is a deep philosophy when it's really just mental illness in makeup.

Oh... That was strange and personal.

There's literal millions upon millions of you out there and it applies to all of them. It's impossible for me to say anything "personal" about you because you're as generic as they get.
>>
>>18554667
So... That means you won't be answering my question?
>>
>>18554673
I did answered your question but you didn't notice it because you're just low-IQ and self-obsessed.
>>
>>18554678

Then explain, instead of calling me stuff
>>
>>18554685

I already did.
>>
>>18554550
I cannot imagine making such bold claims about the Universe despite being a creature that exists for a moment, and never ever leaves his own planet, or even only rarely leaves his tiny part of his own planet.
>>
>>18554550
The universe is indifferent because the universe doesnt think. The maker isnt indifferent so there is no problem.
>>
>>18554554
Everything physical is physics. Everything spiritual is spirits.

>>

>There is no maker to the universe.
Proof?
>>
>>18555451
The universe is eternal and uncreated and thus does not have a creator.
>>
>>18555453
>The universe is eternal and uncreated
Proof?
>>
>>18555454
The poincare recurrence theorem applies to finite dimensional hilbert spaces under unitary evolution.
>>
>>18555459
>implying this supports your ideology
Proof?
>>
>>18555463
The universe is a finite dimensional hilbert space undergoing unitary evolution thus it is necessarily eternal and cycles forever with probability 1 (from the theorem) and does so infinitely often.
>>
>>18555466
>thus it is necessarily eternal
Proof?
>>
>>18555471
The Poincare recurrence theorem.

>>18555473
Ok, I can see you're definitely mentally ill so I'll just accept your concession.
>>
>>18555474
The theorem proves the thing you're asking for proof of. You're just retarded.
>>
>>18555475
Your severe psychotic illness causes you to hallucinate that you've actually demonstrated a connection between your delusions and the Poincare Recurrence Theorem when that's clearly not the case. In fact, it would be impossible for you to demonstrate such a connection because you're trivially wrong: I can run a simulation on my machine right now of a system that the Poincare Recurrence Theorem applies to and it wouldn't have magically been there since forever.

In the OP I asked about absurdism.

Instead, you guys discuss God. There is no proof that God exists or not, so what's the point in these discussions?
>>
>>18555693
No one cares, homo.
>>
>>18555693
Absurdism is an ad-hoc rationalized feeling. No perspective feels like your own so a bunch of them clash in your head and you seek to validate this experience by treating it philosophically. There is no philosophical treatment of absurdism. Because it's not a coherent philosophical position. It's a feeling. And you get rid of it by adapting a perspective and holding on to it. Preferably the perspective from your embodied existence. How the universe feels or doesn't feel about us is something we will learn much later on, if ever.

Your claim is quite literally insane and incoherent, but even setting that aside:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_system
>A closed system is a natural physical system that does not allow transfer of matter in or out of the system, although the transfer of energy is allowed in the contexts of certain fields (e.g. physics, chemistry, engineering, etc).
>>
>>18555741

No, it's neither. You're just wrong and retarded. The Poincare recurrence theorem does not apply to any system that exchanges energy with outside systems, thus your program comparison does not apply.

Nothing you shit out matters. The bottom line is that I can easily create and run a simulation that conforms to the conditions required by the Poincare recurrence theorem. If someone intelligent (unlike you) was given enough simulation state data and asked to infer a model for it, they'd arrive at a model that falls under the Poincare recurrence theorem, not at your insane drivel about it "exchanging energy" with anything. This demonstrates (although only an imbecile even needs such a demonstration) that the Poincare recurrence theorem says nothing about a data-generating process being eternal.

Your AI hallucination does. Also notice how your psychotic delusion causes you to drivel something about "isolated systems" and "programs" that don't actually figure into what you're trying to refute. You're the most dysgenic cretin on this board by far. It's surreal to watch you go.

>>
>>18555860
You can't track basic conversations and you lose every exchange with every person you engage with. I also don't think there's a single day you don't post all day.
What I am refuting is very obvious, the universe is an isolated system (it does not receive information or energy or matter from outside of itself) and the Poincare recurrence applies to it. Your "argument" is to claim that the universe could have had a beginning at some point but then evolved in a way such that it appears to recur forever after that point, but that there could still be a beginning to it much like there is a start to an otherwise non-halting computer program. That analogy does not work because the universe is not an open system like a computer program.
You're the most psychotic pseudo intellectual subhuman on this board. You literally can't even understand basic monophyly.
>>
>>18555867
He could have just said something like "the universe is probably described by an infinite dimensional hilbert space and thus poincare doesn't apply" and that would have actually been a counter argument, but he had to white knight for the theist faggot (even though he claims he's not a theist, despite only ever arguing for theist positions).
