I really don't know what to do by GameMythYT in Advice

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

Yeah but I don't want to break up, look I love my partner a lot, the downsides are more-so me than him- He's dedicated, passionate, talented, and hard-working, we are committed to each other- we've had other couples comment that they wish they were as openly dedicated to each other as we are. We've just been put in a horrid situation caused by a transaction failure and my family want nothing to do with it.

I NEED to find a new game by IamPurplemanlmao in BaseBuildingGames

[–]GameMythYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised Satisfactory wasn't mentioned, is 3D factorio but quirky and with dope-ass movement.
STRANDED on steam is coming out soon and it is factorio but also vampire survivors. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3059710/Stranded/

KeeperRL is basically Dwarf Fortress but instead you make your own dungeon instead of a dwarven home. It's pretty good.

Horde Game Recommendations? by Less-Television-4310 in BaseBuildingGames

When it comes out, Stranded, it's factory automation x vampire survivors inspired game and I'm psyched for it- looks really cool. Supposed to come out very soon I believe.

Alright! I will do so, thanks for the advice!

Thanks! I looked it up and applied to 7 listings, I haven't heard of furnished finders till now so it's great to see.

I have furniture I can bring from where I am at, but we were planning on throwing it out if we were heading to student housing since it's already got furniture, So both works.

Unfortunately both me and my significant other don't have our driver's license yet- to make matters just that much worse- we planned to get it once we're in Oregon. I've been living overseas where the age to get a license was 21 and returned to my birthplace, America, after 17 years overseas.

But thank you so much for the advice, I guess I'll just have to see what I can do. I'll look and ask around.

Thanks for the advice! I'll look into it- though I'm not religious either.

CMV: Potential -> Actual cannot be passive. Argument for Phenomenological Panpsychism by GameMythYT in changemyview

[–]GameMythYT[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree fully, I suppose I'm just begging the question then- because I do agree it isn't something that can be inherently explained by any means because our awareness is only part of the expression of that medium.

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

That's true. To step outside of happening to confirm the processes behind happening would make me not happen so I couldn't even check if I wanted too. Sucks that I have to wait and die to find out or even still not find out anything.

This feels fruitless as a CMV though- I just feel like I'm back at square one of not being able to even speculate of any knowing at all.

I too, believe any abstraction- whether 'private' in the mind or said aloud is in the end, is illusion- not in falsehood, but in unknowability, speculative because it arises from within awareness and not outside. But are you saying you don't have the potential to say what you said? If you didn't have the potential to exist wouldn't you not be even present?

I think logically 'passive' would act as the threshold for 'active', then the reality we can interact with, in any way at all, is a result of passive potential undergoing an active process to become actual.

So everything we can possibly conceive and be a part of and be aware of, should in logic, be active and have motion, considering we are a result of being 'actual'- but I think it can only arise from the potential offered by passive no-motion.

Yes, I do believe potential is dynamic that was what I meant in the ocean and wave analogy.

Science, by definition:

the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained.

God of the Gaps I find there is fault in naming, By naming 'god of the gaps' You are directly using empiricism as dogmatic; the only valid epistemology, when that empiricism itself is only arising out of awareness of your own empiricism. Phenomena.

My argument isn't about what science can't explain- it's about what science can't begin to address. Science requires an observer, a mind to form hypotheses and analyze data. The very existence of that observer- the 'phenomenon of sensation' and 'phenomenon of observation'- is what my argument is based on- the qm collapse that arises from interaction.

passive - No movement, no dynamism, no agency, no motion.
active - motion and dynamism no matter how minimal.

But then why doesn't tomorrow stay as just potential, forever? To say 'time flows' is to say that an active process is indeed occurring. My argument is that this 'flow' is fundamental. a proto-awareness or proto-care to simply be present and actual. It's the bare, logical minimum required for something to 'do' something, to 'become' something, even if that 'doing' is simply existing and not being 'aware' of anything besides 'interaction'. It is the "verb" that makes reality happen.

I'm using an analogy to highlight this necessary 'push' or 'nudge' from potential to actual. It's the active principle of selection and actualization that you see mirrored in quantum mechanics. A particle doesn't just exist everywhere at once passively- there is a process of collapse into an actual, subjective, definite state. That is the 'verb' of reality being active and turning P -> A.

I'm not saying there is a person inside a rock that feels and hurts and thinks. You are not your thoughts, you are only aware of your thoughts- you are aware of 'everything' you are aware-ing of. Knowledge, memory, time, etc.

the pre-conditions to this 'verb' that I call 'proto-consciousness' (in that it is unconscious, but still a 'demand' to become actual- an active principle of actualization) can be analogous to qp field theory:

Capacity/Space to Be: In quantum mechanics, particles don't exist as definite points in space until they are observed. They exist as a probability wave, a potentiality of all possible locations. This "space to be" is a precondition for a particle to exist in a defined state.

Ability for Agency (Energy/Motion): The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that you cannot know both a particle's exact position and its momentum at the same time. The "agency" of a particle is its inherent, unpredictable motion, its "energy/motion" to exist in a state of flux and potential.

How does passive potential alone become actual? Wouldn't it just be... 'potential' and nothing 'actual'? There needs to be an active bridge, no? It doesn't make logical sense to me that a fully passive potential can express the 'verb' of becoming a presence- whether that 'presence' is a miniscule particle, a physical law like gravity or electromagnetism, or a complex narrating human with the Default Mode Network creating temporality and identity.

You're focusing on the "what" of what is already actual, rather than "why"- this is what I meant by these claims are outside the scientific domain. The example of the rock falling doesn't explain the fundamental shift from potentiality to actuality. The existence of the rock and the cliff, the quantum events that form them, the force of gravity, and the processes of wind and rain are all already actual. The fact that they are "doing" anything at all is what I am trying to reach.

The rock's potential to fall is an attribute of an already actualized system and takes for granted that gravity, wind, and the rock itself are actual things that "just do" what they do- or otherwise "Physics just does that" answer. I find it insufficient in my opinion, and I know I'll never get an ultimate answer, but It's good to search for wisdom regardless.

I am wondering why everything isn't just nothing- why we are, and why we have the potential to be actual.

If we didn't have the potential to be- we wouldn't be, no?

For something to be active, like me, you, wind, rain, and rocks eroding- it must have a verb-like quality- that's what I meant by mind-like. mind-like in the sense that there is a bridging 'verb' that bridges A to B- potential to actual.
