@coldxman You and @cvaldary are two of the very few people I’ve been able to trust for many years to not give in to the temptation of sensationalizing important topics for the sake of wider attention. Bravo 👏

AFAIK, it's the first rigorous construction of an (axiomatic) quantum field theory in the @wolframphysics formalism. And it even gives the right answers! Brief explanation following.

@alexandrosM Bad Faith results from assuming you or your interlocutor have fixed attributes/ideologies which don’t allow for their changing perspectives. Strawmen and character assaults follow swiftly

@David_S_Wilson Whatever it is cultures speak of with words like “evil” and “horror.” Patterns of action that undermine indispensable social bonds, simply for the sake of doing so, inspiring in other “susceptible” people the same behavior even at immediate ultimate existential/biological cost

The main purpose of religion, I wrote in the Incerto, is not to affirm that there is a God, but to prevent humans from thinking they are Gods.

Likewise the purpose of a modern king is not to rule, but to prevent politicians & office climbers from thinking that they are kings.

Thinking is an act of faith:
—that this is headed somewhere
—that good ideas will come
—that answers are out there to be found.
Sustaining that faith is hard, and that’s why thinking is hard.

2 kinds of tests:
(1) Tests of ability, skill, intelligence, stamina, knowledge, effort etc
(2) Tests of loyalty, cooperativeness, being a team player, etc
I find that often those who really like (either) one find the other to be repugnant.

If you criticize people with the sole intention to weaken them professionally, you are flattering them. You are declaring that they may be competent enough to not fall without your assistance.

If you want to be the best, you have to be willing to go the distance. You can’t make excuses to hold yourself back or blame other people who have put in the time and effort. You don’t just wake up one day and become a champion.

Sometimes beauty educes and edifies love, and sometimes love educes and edifies beauty. Thereby a fundamental participatory transjectivity is disclosed.

@alexandrosM Nuance can have depth in the middle position beyond being merely a superficial average of two sides. Aka fractal logic. The fact that most convos lack attention spans collapses discussion to a superficial left, right, or shallow middle.
