Fuck this shit. I'm going to space.

@TheTweetOfSkull (Or at least influencable by a conscious agent.)

There are lots of opportunities to incorporate "randomness" into one's life. Not only is it fun, completely avoids the known stresses of decision making, and encourages letting go; it also works.

Toss a coin or use a random number/outcome generating app for something big today!

[🍕 @halfacanuck]

@TFisherson IMO "randomness" is one of the ways cosmic intelligence gets (more) involved. Truly random or unobserved pseudo-random, it doesn't matter as long as it provides plausible deniability.

[🍕 @halfacanuck]

@TheTweetOfSkull If one considers the intelligence underlying quantum "randomness" to be a conscious agent then I agree. It's how divination works, imo.

@TFisherson I think it would be a lot more least-bad if it incorporated "randomness".

@TdlcTheology @psychedral @Philip_Goff @BernardoKastrup I agree with your diagnosis. But a problem only exists in the mind of the person labeling something “problematic”. There are no objective problems; no troublinos nor badons.

For me it's not an aesthetic choice but a practical one: divine idealism explains my experiences in altered states of consciousness, and analytic idealism doesn't (imo).

[Psychedral @psychedral]

@TdlcTheology @Philip_Goff @BernardoKastrup Yes. For example, it is interesting that Bernardo turns to cosmological natural selection or Markus Muller’s new “inductive” interpretation of QM to avoid ascribing intentionally to the cosmic mind. He doesn’t want a divine idealism, whereas I do—but it’s an aesthetic choice.

[🍕 @halfacanuck]

Certainly better for those beings' edification.

[Philip Goff @Philip_Goff]

A world of intelligent creatures writing poetry and falling in love is better than a world of conscious hydrogen.

I'm referring to @nntaleb's notion of antifragility.

“Much of our modern, structured world has been harming us with top-down policies and contraptions (dubbed ‘Soviet-Harvard delusions’ in the book) which [are] an insult to the antifragility of systems.”

Resilient populations evolve because of variety, in genes and in responses to events. Forcing everyone to behave the same way (e.g., a mandatory medical intervention) _will not_ result in a resilient human population, but rather an artificially fragile and precarious one.

@LocoQf Hey, man, if you agree to be an early-adopter of a new type of medicine then I'll support your right to do that. You'll have given your consent to take whatever risk comes with it, if any. I oppose anyone forcing you to do it, though, regardless of their good (or not) intentions.

[🍕 @halfacanuck]

Just one example: thalidomide was initially considered safe, and ended up killing thousands of children and causing deformities in 10,000 or more.

Fortunately, no-one suggested entire populations be forced to take it at the same time.

@LocoQf I should say: having a medicine insert itself directly into a core mechanism of your genetics.

[🍕 @halfacanuck]

@LocoQf Eating genetically modified food and having your genes manipulated directly are different things. It's not a good analogy, imo.
