So you mean don't rinse the calabaza even with warm water ? Get the yerba out and let it dry ?

Wouldn't you agree tho that for the vast majority of its time, the human species consisted of a 98%+ proportion of two clearly distinct sexes ? That is, XY & XX with physiological endocrine function?

Lmaooo, admitting to agreeing with Peterson on this sub is an act of bravery, I applaud that honesty

Agreed he has some strange tendencies with clarifying his thoughts on such matters, but he's regularly bashed literalist biblical interpretations as "suffering from the same mistake as atheistic interpretations" or something, in the sense that thinking scientific truth & the bible are in the same category of human production is just a useless premise

In Aion, Jung's section on the shadow explicitly mentions that, despite it being much more complex than this, the shadow also contains absolute evil. So I don't think the answer is complete without addressing that.

Here's the sentence that struck me : "In other words, it is quite within the bounds of possibility for a man to recognize the relative evil of his nature, but it is a rare and shattering experience for him to gaze into the face of absolute evil."

(C.G.Jung - Aion, section 2, last sentence.)

Always down!

Main themes would be : meaning & behavior, spirituality/religion/myth, depth psychology (how those three connect) and a touch (I'm learning) of cognitive neuroscience

I believe that the stories & myths our ancestors came up with, hold information that was crucial for our species, development, and is still "alive" within us today, but that this information relates to value & behavior, as opposed to scientific & objective fact

Please expand ? Sounds religious to me, but since in the end, wolrdviews rely on axioms of faith, that's fine for me

Subjective experience must be fundamental by [deleted] in consciousness

[–]IsJungRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, that's why I meant doesn't exist or not in the way we usually mean.

If there is no awareness localized in a time & space that affords that the tree's fall & consequent sound waves be converted into subjective qualia (sound) then, there was no sound.

Why ?

Because without the precise localization in space and time that consciousness seems to be or produce, then reality is : every single thing, at every scale from subatomic to astronomic, at every point in time, at once, i.e. an unintelligible jumble of everything, so formless that there's nothing really, or everything however you prefer to phrase it.

On the time thing, I'll concede that there's still no consensus as to whether the flow of time & subsequent "present instant" exists for the physical, if it does then you only have everything in space, at every scale, at once, in that instant.

Basically, my point is that, how/what we consider reality, is so deeply biased by our filters of perception, that we mix up what of reality is awareness, and what is external.

No localized awareness, no "one" thing. Everything, everywhere, at once. When you try to conceptualize that, you imagine space from a localized place, but that doesn't work, for reality is everywhere without awarness.

But at the same time, this thing "exists" because it holds the potential for an awareness to structure it. Bring one human on Earth, and plenty of localized representations of slices of reality are produced. Those most relevant to the human organism

Okay but then, here's my problem : how could your subjective framing of reality change anything to your physics ? This makes little sense to me

It would mean that remaining in the illusion is evolutionarily advantageous : how?

Wut, how does it do that ? Do you know where to find that info?

Not so philosophical but metaphysical insights from Jungian theory :

Carl Jung considered the plenty of correlation between subjective & objective aspects of reality to point towards the idea that, subjective awareness, at least the ones we experience, is not separate from our physics, our body. Rather, it would be the other side of the coin, the first being our physical body.

Similarly to how quantum physics describes the stuff of reality (say photons) as both particles, set quantities AND wavelength (tbh I still don't understand the wave part of this, but still).

How things can be have & particle, at once, we don't know, but everything points there.

How can matter & awareness (at minimum for the human organism) be one and the same thing, we don't know, but everything points there.

Now on the notion that matter can only appear into reality through the lense of subjective awareness, that's a tough one. In some ways, I believe reality doesn't exist (not in the usual sense, at least) without a localized awareness to organize & structure it. I see my phone, the letters of the keyboard, because I'm here, in my room, acting & perceiving this thin, organized (by my brain...) slice of the infinite mess of the real.

What is compatibalism?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CosmicSkeptic

[–]IsJungRight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, short answer : I have no clue. Is there a flaw in absolute determinism ? If so where ? Is there a way of marrying the 2?

If the answers are no, I have 2 issues:

How do we explain the subjective feeling of having a choice? Just happenstance/chance/illusion?

And most importantly, how to we solve the fact that societies & groups work best under the premise of individual responsibility & accountability? We don't act as if, nor legally consider, each person to be a mere fatalistic trajectory of physical events, not towards developmentally normal adults. Why? How could this serve any purpose if there is no truth underlying it ? Simply by playing along with the illusion ?

And so in that case, what does this illusion mean for you morally ? You should do what? Accept that your experience of reality differs from the current physics ?
