@SageThinker99@DavidDeutschOxf@chico_ray I even took on the use of the term greed to show the explanation’s flaws. We can both list good and bad things caused by “greed.” Then what have we explained? Surprisingly, one thing. Under capitalism what you call greed has been harnessed for good. Socialism could never.
@shrirajpandya@DavidDeutschOxf@mattwridley As soon as you think in terms of how smart you are relative to others, you’re limiting the thoughts you can think. If you’re limiting your creativity so, I could imagine it’s possibly being done in other ways too. Luckily, it is a choice and not something you’re born with.
@DavidDeutschOxf@Mr_Roark00 Unless the questions have been avoiding me, it’s rare to see anyone ask you about the topic. Where can I read further? Has anything changed since the release of FoR?
Did I notice correctly that chapters 5 and 6 on virtual reality and computation in The Fabric of Reality implicitly explain why we dream? @DavidDeutschOxf
@DavidDeutschOxf I noticed you corrected from saying someone is “smart” to “they are quick on the up take.” I agree but what makes people, running the same creativity program, vary in effectiveness in solving their problem-situations? Is it their accumulative past solutions?
@DavidDeutschOxf@ironick@Hello_World Let me see. Criticism and error correction via conversation. Dissent is an important feature not a bug. In the domain of science the procedure is the same. Particularly the conversation being criticism of two rival theories. The winner is objectively our best theory at the time.
@heydyvex@DavidDeutschOxf @fakeryofficial @Erik_Orrje I believe this is all it’s missing. I tried to triple check these weren’t in there so sorry if I link a duplicate. 👍

@perigean@DavidDeutschOxf @aayush_ak07 Memes are subject to criticism and error correction. If a culture has sufficiently suppressed these processes then you may be right but even then imperceptible changes will be made. Until we have a deeper understanding of them, it’s safe to say there is room for free will.
@dela3499@DKedmey I laughed out loud at this. He has an ability to make something funny that, I imagine, neither him or I expected to be funny. I remember a TedTalk where he had the crowd laughing. I’d guess his only intention was to convey an idea not to farm laughs like a comedian.
