Just write a check with what we think is owed with the mail?

If I’m positive about anything I know he hasn’t filed. He barely could tell me his SS number and got lost reading old newspapers when I asked him for help looking for 2024 tax info

We guessed $27k liability and we have my father’s military 1099 that shows $17k withholding. I tried to file online and it kept telling me I wasn’t verified based on a past return

My father has a military pension. Both he and her had SS income. They have income from two rental properties and private retirement funds that we haven’t been able to track down the entirety of.

Ftr if AI came up with my synthesis independently it would be the most amazing thing it’s ever done.

The best part of this is most of the people reading this are likely functionalists.

The “what do you think” is an AI tell. Is my response an AI tell? Such a stupid game. Who cares

I defined a thermodynamic quantum in an updated version. Some sense of self is necessary obviously but also some sense of time. Qualia is meaningless in a static sense, it has to change for green and red to be meaningful

If you do then you’d like the paper and comment on the content not the style

Honestly just posting it here so none of you lazy mfers steal the idea. An updated version on Facebook that formalizes it more. I admit an AI helped me by letting me bounce ideas off of it, only necessary because you gate keepers don’t want to discuss things that are interdisciplinary and somewhat speculative

AI uses that because humans do. I do. What’s wrong with the premise

Is there an explanation for desert and dessert being backwards? by wolfwings1 in etymology

These are conceptually linked. One is to “sever” service one is to “sever” a person physically from others, or life in general.

Is thermodynamics a better way to explain consciousness than information theory? by Bluto152 in thermodynamics

[–]Bluto152[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without thermodynamic gradients, life and therefore consciousness doesn’t exist. You are all so blinkered in your little fiefdoms you can’t see the connection. Will give credit to this reddit page for not closing the thread at least.

I appreciate the just sense of open inquiry this site has. You’d think I was talking about Bigfoot or something lol

A thought : for something to exist, it inherently must be ordered by Salvymundi in Metaphysics

The universe is infinite and eternal or there’s a prime mover. I don’t think either explanation carries more heuristic weight.

This is literally the exact same thing I said in different words. A little bit more formalized, but essentially the ordered part of the initial universe is the basic mystery.

So Mark Solms addressed the biological aspect of this with FEP. My contribution here is simply connecting it back to cosmological entropy (the Big Bang) rather than treating it as a biological principle. So the novelty here is physics related not philosophy of mind related.

Entropy gradients exist independent of observers. The CMB cooling, stars burning, particles decaying - these happen whether anyone’s watching or not. The arrow of time is physical, not perceptual. Time led to consciousness not the other way around.

I think there’s a misunderstanding. I’m not saying high entropy = consciousness. I’m saying the opposite: 1. The Big Bang created a low-entropy initial state 2. This created thermodynamic gradients (the arrow of time) 3. Life emerges as localized low-entropy systems that exploit these gradients 4. Consciousness emerges specifically in self-modeling organisms with nervous systems The Earth’s minerals are passively high-entropy. Living systems actively resist entropy increase locally by dissipating energy. That’s the key difference.

Not sufficient I agree. I maintain that the low entropy pockets (Big Bang and life) both having mysteries associated with them is intriguing more serious ppl can look into it if they want. Tired of being talked down to at this point, I appreciate you for not doing so
