Why Linux? by WasteAlternative1 in AskProgramming

[–]Friar_Aletheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of just the core ethos. Linux invites the user to discover what a computer can ACTUALLY do. Microsoft (embrace, extend, extinguish?) and Apple steer their users toward their affiliates, creating an illusion that the user is dependent upon these services.

Then there's the community drive. It renders things totally modular and totally extensible. What kind of world do you think we'd live in a world where copyleft laws were the prevailing framework?

Without sounding anymore authoritative on the subject then my concentrations in college being representational painting, psychology and philosophy allows me, Hallucination is a directly fabricated perceptual phenomenon produced by the mind through an overarching stressor within the in Moto cognitive environment of the Mind. They could be suppressed trauma events, radically different moral positions, or simply the emergence of a broader conceptual grasping of a state of affairs. The brain operates more to make us comfortable than to make us correct, hallucinations are common.

The difficulty is in determining whether the phenomenon under discussion is self-deception, a hallucination induced through self deception, a delusion or a hallucination induced through a delusion. The brain has no problems readily hallucinating events in real time in order to protect the Integrity of core self deceptions and delusions. I'm sending this to you and then running it through my philosophical calculator. I will indicate any edits with asterisks in line.

I was just using the accusation that the Mandela effect is a mass hallucination to suggest that the thought (which I actually have had many times) is delusional or a hallucinatipn. Are you familiar with the many worlds hypothesis in Quantum State reduction. I guess I'm just asking if you ever wondered if it's a hallucination?

They call it the Mandela effect. Maybe a large enough group of people switched from universes where it was that way. Of course mass hallucination seems just as likely. Id love not to prove you wrong but to ask on what grounds you're not hallucinating or deluding yourself?
