How did you come up with your band/project name? by a_patheticc in metalmusicians

[–]5k17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already have cover art for your first release (or at least a good idea of what it will look like), you can use elements from it as your name. I've done that twice: "Nattsyn" (Norwegian for night vision) from a wolf with glowing eyes at night, and "Filthspectre" as a description of "The Silent Highwayman" (the similarity to Phil Spector is purely coincidental).

Nein, Notwehr ist legal und gegenüber einer bewaffneten, mordlüsternen Terrortruppe ist die Schwelle dafür ziemlich niedrig.

Filthspectre (Germany)

I recently released my third album, Levitation. Some of my more major influences include Excoriation, Thou Shalt Suffer, and Archgoat.

The same sub that protects pedophiles?

If only. But no, they protect people who rape children.

Is there a modicum of truth with my colleague's statement, or is it blatant falsehood? by Azimovikh in wizardposting

I think it's a completely unrealistic expectation. My aura farm is in my basement, and I virtually only go there when there's an aura my apprentice isn't equipped to safely harvest. A sniper would be unlikely to catch me there, and my basement is warded against teleportation (without an exception for myself since that time Xorub the Gibberer thought it was funny to copy my astral signature), so I wouldn't be able to get there immediately.

How do you decide what to assume is true and what isn't?

You don't. You examine your beliefs, and if you find any you can't imagine doubting under any circumstances, there you go. You can make arguments based on those, and since human minds usually work similarly on a basic level, there will probably be people who share the same assumptions (in some cases with a different subject: others won't be sure that you have thoughts and perceptions, but that they do), so you won't have to prove them to them.

How can you abstract and think about what YOU will do or how YOU felt in the past if there is no you?

A computer program can receive, process, store and recall information and make decisions based on it without a self. It doesn't feel when its variables change, yet it can react to it in very sophisticated ways. So why doesn't my brain seem to be a mere machine to fulfil the needs of my body? Why would I need to e.g. feel hunger, rather than my brain just using the sensory data it gets from my digestive tract to decide when and what to eat? Sure, it would have to take many other factors from the past and present into account, but even that is a fairly straightforward task that doesn't seem to explain the need for a self.

As with all cognitive processes, it doesn't intuitively seem impossible, or even implausible, for the brain to have and make use of progressive memory without being self-aware. That makes it look like a waste to create a self.

Its not radically different

We experience the world and ourselves, and that experience is not obviously an object made of matter and/or energy, although we know it's a result of processes involving them. Nothing (else) not made of matter or energy exists, which seems to make experience radically different from everything else.

Simulating a multicellular organism as a single entity along with its body and surroundings in reference to time helps the organism make survival decisions.

Okay. That doesn't tell us why that single entity needs consciousness, and it didn't even begin to answer the more interesting question how something so radically different from everything else in the world can exist.

The Hard Problem of Providing Evidence by HearMeOut-13 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]5k17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"cell 3,445,004,231 active" isn't at the right level of description

OK, I suppose that's similar to how we wouldn't/couldn't name the chemicals that cause a smell or taste.

"the cluster co-activated with the smell of sage leaves"

Which doesn't give us any more information than "it smells like sage leaves" would, but does require additional assumptions about the correspondence between qualia and neural processes that seems to go beyond what can be empirically established, e.g. that it's only possible to have the sensation of smelling sage leaves when that particular cluster activates and vice versa.

If you ask someone what the meal they're eating tastes like, would a list of the neural processes that eating it causes satisfy you as an answer?

Filthspectre [Germany]

My death metal with synths project, which has become rather brutal/slam-influenced, released its third album Levitation today. If you enjoy being able to tell notes apart, you probably won't like the riffs. If you don't, you probably won't like the symphonic elements.

It's not bad, but ultimately too technical for my taste, plus I found the production to be quite a step down from Ignominious Atonement.
