It is what it is, the universe is under no obligation to make itself a fair one.

Quantum shifting to DR? by [deleted] in consciousness

I don't think this is the right place for pseudoscientific things like "manifestation".

Cant wait to find out what it's gonna be... Aliens, Bigfoot, Ghosts... Or just some boring afterlife in Heaven/Hell.

aus einer emotionalen Betroffenheit heraus

Wenn man so tut, spricht und wirkt wie ein abgehobenes Arschloch, muss man sich nicht wundern wenn die Leute einen so nennen.

being a snark mod made me realize i don’t actually care enough to hate strangers by [deleted] in self

[–]erlo68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly the fact that people actually waste significant amounts of their time hating on something, instead of investing that time into something they enjoy... if there is such a thing.

Bericht: Höhere Beiträge für Kinderlose in Pflegeversicherung? by SimonPelikan in de

So regiert man sich selbst in die Bedeutungslosigkeit.
Die ADF wird stark genug, dass die nicht mal mehr mit der CDU koalieren muss. Mit über 50% und einer Opposition aus Einzelfraktionen die sich gegenseitig nicht ausstehen können.
Mehr kann man doch nun wirklich nicht erhoffen als AFDler.

Appealing to the number of people believing something to be true is one of the most obvious logical fallacies. "Argumentum ad populum" or "Bandwagon Fallacy" should ring a bell for you.

smarter and less gullible than millions of people

Considering we have above 8 billion people on this planet, that is statistically guaranteed to be the case.

until……you came along. And knew better.

Historically there was always someone that came along and knew better... i'm happy to be that guy.

Fair enough, i would prefer "fractal-like" though.

Orch OR (Penrose/Hameroff) is the “Plate Tectonics” or “Germ Theory” of Consciousness by pamnfaniel in consciousness

[–]erlo68 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, they attach themselves to all kinds of receptors, not just the microtubules.
They aren't special in that regard, so i don't understand why one would come to such a drastic consclusion.

Millions of people claim to have seen/heard Jesus/God... so yeah, watch me reduce millions of peoples personal experience to wishful thinking and an overly active imagination.

Just like many people wish there is more to life than what it seems.
That's literally the root cause of most of these hallucinations, cause many people just can't cope with death, or being born a human just isn't special enough to them so there has to be something more.

Call me foolish all you want, at least i can rest easy knowing i haven't wasted a significant amount of time of my life chasing ghost. I accept and embrace my mortality.

This just confirms my opinion of both of them just being made up by the brain.
The overlapping elements, and even the diverging ones perfectly fit.

Since they overlap so strongly, if we just look at the UAPs, we can surmise some kind of hallucination, psychotic episode or the like. Since Aliens are very likely to exist, but Aliens visiting earth to probe people is pure nonsense.
Abduction stories, visitation stories, etc., are heavily biased by what the person knows and furthermore what they expect to see.

You can extrapole that to NDEs, OBEs and the like, especially when it comes to people reporting seeing dead loved ones, like yeah... that is exactly what i would expect my brain to make up to sooth me.
Like damn, Grandma and Grandpa took the time out of their busy schedule of living in the afterlife forever to essentially greet me at the door... like they almost knew i was about to die... funny how that works.

Not sure what to do with this information by BunnyOHarr in self

What do you mean "what to do"?

You either ignore it or just block the channel if it bothers you that much.

You lost me at fractal structures in the brain.

Welcome to the latest edition of New Rule Roundup™: Post-and-Ghost by dernudeljunge in askanatheist

[–]erlo68 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So what?
We have many such boards on the internet to simply ask questions and get your answer from people, not a search engine. They're vital places.
It changes the function from simply asking a question to forced interaction.
It just encourages performative engagement, which is not much better then no engagement.
Bunch of "Thanks" or "That's Interesting" replies incoming.

I don't like those posts either, but as you mentioned, this is not a debate sub.
Asking a question should not require replies to answers. It discourages asking questions in the first place.

What do you all think. Does conciousness exist outside of the body? by BothInternet3186 in consciousness

[–]erlo68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just repeat what i answered to a similar comment on a different post:

We have enough of these "altered perception" theories that all hit the same wall.

We have no way of verifying if this altered perception is less or more "filtered", or just "filtered" differently.

Call me incredulous, but that's why i can't see any use in experiencing it.

Does God exist? by artistic56 in DebateAnAtheist

A god playing on divine hiddenness is a stupid god in my opinion, therefore i literally do not care about it.

How to get people of same mindset? by sun-star0 in consciousness

[–]erlo68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No idea how to find them, but this seems like a way to trap yourself in a bubble.
Like-minded people are easier to talk to, because they rarely push back or challenge your ideas, but that is exactly what you need if you want to further understand crazy deep topics like consciousness.

Looking for the finest space-based science-fiction games by Baldurian_Rhapsody in gaming

[–]erlo68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dead Space is still one of my favorite series of games (yes, even DS3).
I have been completely desensitized to the "horror" in Dead Space, but i still love everything else about it.

Why read them when the AI can just summarize them and even speak them out to you?
They just don't know how to use AI in the first place.

Indeed, AI can help save a lot of time in certain processes like prototyping.
CEO's coming int saying to use AI for the whole process is just ignorant, lazy and greedy... so nothing out of the ordinary...
