@PinballWiz4rd The choices are decline now or decline later but worse. You can't sell material decline to people they would rather, in a very literal sense, just be lied to, until there's no fuel or food. You would need a revolutionary massive spiritual awakening to have a chance at mitigation.
@PinballWiz4rd Yes, there are a lot of structural obstacles, but the representations could improve on themselves and that's the biggest hindrance, the formalization of self reference. Most likely it won't be resolved so it will keep accelerating the increase of hindrance when self referencing.
@PinballWiz4rd To be fair if either one of them come out the other end back to "reality" it would be very interesting. If "AI" actually manages to improve upon its own shit, that would be Hegel's method in spirit but I suspect all Hegel's method does is the "do nothing" morphism at every step.
@PinballWiz4rd Art's problem is runaway abstraction so that it blurs it's own meaning and LLM's problems is the opposite, too much statistical averaging, in a way that everything ends squished together.
@Bobbythirdway They want someone categorically "better" than them. Same difference though. Most of the time is just someone pulling the exact same trick on them over and over, highjacking their instincts and they just keep falling for it, it's like maga but for foyim. they won't learn either.
@JucheAffirmer@YakumoLegalist A once purist empire starts collapsing only to settle for some kind to civic universalism that will inevitably end up in pogroms once resources start faltering. That makes the gulf states the worse place to be in right now followed by the US , resurrecting archaic European feuds
1.5mn Algerians were slaughtered by France in their War of Independence. Less than 1/10 of them have been recorded by Paris, which refuses any apology for its colonial crimes.
Stop your crocodile tears @jnbarrot. Your silence when the U.S. massacred our schoolkids said it all.
@CollapseAnime It's feed grade corn, livestock doesn't need all the starch and oil. You can boil it in an alkaline solution and make it human grade. Corn genetic potential is so much higher than everything else that if you need an massive amount of food there's no better more efficient option.
@Thomiste_1@PinballWiz4rd The biggest trvke of all is that mathematicians took, raped and kidnapped logic away from philosophers and now is trying to do the same to all philosophy by analysing the modal or any other logical structure of philosophical texts. and translating them to mathematical statements.
@Thomiste_1@PinballWiz4rd In all seriousness you could in theory translate text to modal logic to topology so that maybe your argument actually solved a problem in topology and CS, without having to know all 3. It maps the 3 worlds together, which arguments are equivalent to some topological statement.
@Thomiste_1@PinballWiz4rd You can always cheat and say they are related transitively given a wider axiomatic context and say that in "Pinball Space" these premises are transitively related. Then it is valid.
@FromKulak Even the empires that started as purist supremacist, eventually settle for some type of civic universalism. The only way to remain "pure" is geographic isolation but then Europeans eventually got to America in boats, it was good while it lasted. Purism is feeble and transitory.
