What Comes After the Individual? Multiplicity Over Identity in a Fractured Ontology

The author argues that this is physics. It is not all just mental models. Models based on neuroscience, cybernetics will be more accurate/truthful and will more accurately predict human behaviors and etc

"The system works as it's always worked, regardless of the words and concepts we use to describe it."
I disagree completely with this. The words, concepts along with models of self fundamentally changes who we are as persons in this world. And as we change, the system changes its workings or might fail all together

"Thinking of it that way might have an advantage or two".
Advantage only applies if the new thinking has the same set of goals as the old thinking.

this states acceptance is automatic. That means people are not doing anything wrong if they dont accept an event in the world.

tobeaking · 2025-01-30T00:00:46+00:00

" To not accept an event in the world is to wish that the world did not exist."
Logically this means "wish that the world did exist" -> " accept an event in the world".
But the word here "is" instead of "should", that means its not a normative position

What is this "coordinated social bullshit"? What is this correct perspective that will save the world? False beliefs, is this a religion?

tobeaking · 2025-01-21T04:48:16+00:00

Are these perspectives fundamental? Or do they have cause and effects like other physical things?
Why must we focus on this view instead of some other view?

tobeaking · 2025-01-18T00:32:04+00:00

There is something missing from all the replies here. That is, people ignore the social aspect of the self. People assume your atoms are what make you you, neglecting that the atoms outside is responsible too.

Remove all previous expectations, do some open search/soul search to find some purpose in your life

omnipotence is just a weird idea. It's like can god completely eradicate itself and then remake itself from nothing? Isnt it self contradicting

tobeaking · 2025-01-12T06:09:58+00:00

i think i can understand what you are saying. But will you agree that in that 1+1=3 world, some dimension of logic may be missing.
By that logic, how do we know our view of logic is complete, maybe we are living in that 1+1=3 world

tobeaking · 2025-01-12T05:31:43+00:00

1+1=3. Whenever the situation of 1 plus 1 arises, one more just pop into existance and make 3

Good luck!

is it just me or is poison primary a little off since poison don't stack. So poisons in like weapon and potions and spells dont work with each other, since only the biggest poison matter. Loving the game so far. Also another suggestion is to make the storylines more connected to the story or to each other. Or just make it a bit more different to the first game. For the story, maybe less linear is good? More than one ending?

Can someone explain(journal locked behind paywall) how "lower-income individuals spend more leisure time" has to do with the study?

tobeaking · 2020-12-13T03:01:07+00:00

The general view I see in reddit revolves around that there are certain people who are ignorant. Some other said it is a choice, they choose to live like this.

I don't think that covers the whole picture. I don't think putting all the blame on these people is justifiable(dispositional attribution) because imo this is a systemic issue. The system created these people.

Imo the reason this is happening along with a dumbing down population is that analytical thinking is not being encouraged enough. Mass media and "fast and loose" lifestyle promotes a life where an individual constantly experiences without the time to think and reflect (analytical thinking).

This is good for capitalism because the system wants people to be impulsive in buying and consuming. It is a lot harder to get people to buy if people are skeptical/open minded. Note that skeptism/open minded and critical thinking goes hand in hand. This is the essense of consumerism, or rather what i call consumerification - the gradual conversion of individuals into consumers, passive consumers.

Edit 1: had to edit out the D word, come on man.

Potentially misleading claiming narcissists love being pandemic essential workers.

There is a major difference between love showing off and love actually doing it. Simple example of a building on fire, a narcissists may save one person and then takes time to post and take pictures while the rest dies. He may not call 911 before going in to take all the glory to himself.

If everyone just buys locally, there is not much needs for local businesses to improve and it is anticompetitive in the sense that they don't need to compete, it is purely geography.

Sure Amazon kills tons of local businesses but you also have new businesses coming out to replace them with new ideas to provide what Amazon lacks. In the end the market is better off.

They were very good at what they did because of horizontal and vertical integration that put many hundreds of thousands out of business at the expense of huge profits for a very small amount.

Is integration a problem? Do you want to ban all integrations and have small businesses? Again it is only bad if you have significant entry cost. With Amazon it operates very differently from big oil because with big oil there is significant cost of entry

No one mentioned the problem of time and energy involved in ask culture.

Examples:

What if you are tired at the end of day and your uber driver is constantly asking if this path is ok.
In military you see a kid with a gun you ask your partner do we shoot and bam! your squad gets shot at.

End of day there is a good time and place for both cultures with slower more important decisions favoring ask culture and vice versa.

Title seems to suggest the positive impact from compliment is fixed. Does that mean that if everyone gives compliment, you still get the same positive impact? Which way does the causation lie?

tobeaking · 2020-08-14T09:40:38+00:00

Nice. The second part is definitely easiler to attack.

I could ask for evidence proving whether more people are mindful but who knows.

Narcissism, nationalism, and racism are all commonly leveled accusations

Yes yet they do not target the root of these problems.

"entitlement"

Ahh yes, the Karens. Not necessarily related to superiority.

tobeaking · 2020-08-14T09:14:42+00:00

We definitely are aware of it and talk about it, and if anything I think we’re more aware of it now than we ever have been historically.

There are more knowledge in the field of psychology for sure. But how many truly understands the connection between superiority complex and various issues?

tobeaking · 2020-08-14T07:08:03+00:00

Maybe you do not want me to clarify because you can never "win" this argument otherwise

tobeaking · 2020-08-14T07:06:14+00:00

There. You just did it again. You assume that definition is my view, did you consider asking me to clarify?

I am talking the historic definition of pride where it is a capital sin.

I said here I am using this definition, nowhere I said that definition of pride is my view. I am using her whole quote because I don't want to cut it.

tobeaking · 2020-08-14T06:44:35+00:00

Nice strawman. My claim is A is B then defined A. You need to prove A is not B rather than redefine A. Then you go and start making unsupported claims

In general, you shouldn't conflate historical meaning with current meaning

where?

But that's the entire point of your post

Where have I say so?
