Does the non-physical nature of consciousness challenge physicalism?
>>16298040>Why does brain damage cause memory loss?NTA but I would guess it would be like damaging a 'receiver' irl, where the quality of the recieved signal is diminished. Certain parts of the brain correspond to sending/receiving from certain parts of the soul. The issue with that though is if you continue that logic enough, the "soul" and the neurons in the brain are basically mapped 1-1, and at that point what's the difference between the soul and the brain creating consciousness (besides the fact that the soul can exist after death I suppose.)

>>16298055That's why I brought up Occam's razor earlier.If the brain can do everything the soul is supposed to, why propose a soul?I keep asking this guy simple questions and he can answer none of them. I'd be willing to argue the receiver point, but he brought it up once and never actually tried to defend it.

I'm using the AI a lot, I ask it for obscenely complicated and boring jobs.Sometimes when I ask him to do things I almost feel the immense effort it would take to complete them.And she, obviously, does everything (almost) perfectly without batting an eye.This inability to experience fatigue is shocking.Needless to say, even these stupid and primordial AIs are already changing my way of working completely.It's not just hype, I'm realizing it firsthand by using them.

It's been almost two months stuck in space because the retards rode a leaking Boeing death capsule into orbit because they were too stupid to live. I mean how fucking retarded do you have to be to WILLINGLY get into an untested Boeing space capsule after seeing YEARS of Boeing plans falling apart in the sky? These are the giga big brain astronauts? 100 out of 100 brain dead plumbers would know better than to get into a Boeing death capsule....but no NOT ASTRONAUTS! Nigga we ain't going no where.

Maps like these are very interesting but they only provide information about settlement and not what environment these people have actually adapted for. Yes, for some it could be true but definitely not all, especially the southern and eastern ones that had more migrations and wars with different types of people. How is one supposed to then find the best possible environment for their genes and what about mixed race people?

Is the idea of infinity flawed? I feel like saying the universe has always existed or that a black hole has infinite density is similar to saying that things are as they are because God created them. I think assigning infinity as a value to measure something that we can't fully comprehend or have the ability to measure yet is an easy way out for the human brain, similiar to using religion to explain away all the mysteries of the universe and existence.
>>16295721you can only have arbitrary finite sets of naturals.>>16295718cope glowie
>>16295623The word you are looking for, is eternity.
>>16297496Not far off, but I think the better term here is arbitrarily (large/small)If you divide the area under a curve into arbitrarily many rectangles, you get an arbitrarily close approximation of the area under a curve.If you divide that are into infinitely many rectangles, you get an infinitely close (exact) answer for the area under the curve.
They aren't very satisfying, but assuming infinity or a infinitesimal just works, so math people can scream about it.

>>16297451The reason these conditions are called diseases are because they are incompatible with society. The only reason a person goes to the doctor about a problem is because the problem is hindering function in society.Those acceptance movements are nonsense. As human rights are universal and technology progresses dysgenics will only keep increasing. It's not possible to sustain the entire dysgenic population.Those pathologies are a tragedy and prove to be costly personal challenges to their families, they end up feeling relief along the grief once they die. It's a cursed existence.>depression, bipolar, ocdThose people suffer anon. It's not an environment problem. Depressed people are incapable of feeling happiness. Bipolar people become psychotic and harm others or themselves. OCD suffers from exaggerated ideas that make them feel constant threats. It's unethical to deny them treatment or brainwash them into thinking treatment is harmful.>doctors never care about patientsDoctors give a service, it's you who are supposed to care for your sick relative or yourself. The service of the doctor is to attempt to return you to functionality. The doctors who do care end up suffering from knowing the limits of medicine do little for the patients, it's not possible to do more.
>>16297498>The only reason a person goes to the doctorWhat about when doctors lock up people against their will - this of course happens in the area of mental health.Also, even if someone goes to the doctor voluntarily, they would hope for a treatment that is in their interests, rather than a treatment which is actually in the doctor's interests.>Those acceptance movements are nonsenseAbsolutely not. If you happened to be born with some genetic brain differences, you would want to stand up for yourself too.>Depressed people are incapable of feeling happinessThis is quite obviously nonsense. That's like saying "a hungry person is incapable of feeling full". Obviously they're not - they just need to eat some food.>The service of the doctor is to attempt to return you to functionalityThe service of the doctor is to profit from misery. Okay perhaps this is not fair for many kinds of doctors. Many doctors do genuinely good work. But there are definitely doctors who are simply trying to profit from people's misery, especially in countries like the US where healthcare is largely provided by for-profit companies.Regarding mental health treatment, I think doctors are often not concerned with what the patient wants (even if their wants are perfectly legitimate and legal, etc). Perhaps it is too often about producing an outcome that is desirable for the doctor, rather than desirable for the patient.
>female rights>nigger rights>autism rightswhat rights do they not have in current day USA that normal white men have? it seems they have more rights and privileges than a regular whitie.
>>16297571>doctors lock up peopleThey are brought in by their caretakers who don't see it feasible anymore to care for them, or by cops who may choose to execute them instead. Those patients are psychotic, their survival instinct is abolished and are attempting to kill themselves, are being violent and damage property or hurt people, or they have stopped eating. There have been antipsychiatry movements before and the result was these patients dying in the streets or in prison.>genetic brain differencesNobody is discriminating these people. They are not functional and it's not anybody's responsibility to accomodate for them.>obviously nonsenseIt's the definition of being depressed. Have you ever worked in psychiatry? Have you met these people? I have. I have a functional type of depression as well. You are too naive and self-centered to assume you know more from a funny sounding idealistic thought than the experience of people who work on this.>Le doctor profitsI was paid $3 an hour and had to see 6 or more patients each hour in busy times for 80 hours a week. You can kindly fuck yourself if you think all is roses in this shit fucking field. I have never asked for gratitude for this piss stinking work but having assholes like you come with a mouthful of shit on top of everything we deal with is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Who the fuck are you? You have nothing but poison to speak of this field, what do you pretend you know about it? Where is this victim complex coming from? What do you gain from coming to a thread full of doctors and start insulting the field which you well know some make a genuine effort to help? I've replied so far in good will but if you're gonna behave like an asshole you might as well get the fuck out.

https://www.ans.org/news/article-6241/china-pebblebed-reactor-passes-meltdown-test/How much of a big deal is this? Some of my leftist friends are posting demotivation messaging like >"if only we opened our borders to China and cooperated with them, they would give us access to their wonderful technology which is 10-15 years ahead of the US!"None of them have any formal technical qualifications in the sciences. Does China objectively lead by a significant margin (e.g. beyond a 5 year gap) in any major scientific field? I know that I'm opening a can of worms that may invite bots and shllls in asking. I'm looking for information and talking points to rebut the sensationalism of my worryingly self-hating, naive and pessimistic acquaintances. It's getting fucking tiresome. Sorry in advance.
>>16297031https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pebble-bed_reactorIt's not really significant at all. Pebble bed reactors have been around since the 1940's. You might as well be amazed that any nuclear plant can pass testing.

>>16297309This is what I was looking for. I kid you not, the exact phrasing of my friend was "fhey are 10-15 years ahead of tbe United States". It's fucking stupid and ridiculous.

We've got the schizo horse shoe shit where some of my conservative friends read Mao and now are "patriotic socialists", whatever the fuck thst means. >>16297248Sometimes dominance in narrow fields is not a given.

If I can always decide the Halting Problem for a specific Programming Language, does that demonstrate that the Programming Language lacks Universal Computation?
>>16297137>If you can write a computer program to decide the Halting Problem for a specific Programming Language, then that Programming Language lacks Universal Computation.How do we know this?

Good news fellow environmentalists, the Pacific bluefin tuna are doing so great that catch quote on them has been massively increased. The scientists involved say that bluefin tuna stocks in the Pacific are now 1500% greater than they were 15 years ago. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20240716/p2g/00m/0li/047000c>An international body managing Pacific bluefin tuna stocks agreed Tuesday to raise the annual quota for catching the fish, typically consumed as sashimi and sushi, by 50 percent
