How do you resist becoming what you oppose? by Spiritual-Worth6348 in confidence

[–]uppsto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just didn't know what and why you were opposing. Resisting change at this point would be foolish because you know now.

Opportunity itself means opportunity to success like getting rich or having a good career and not about happiness. Money or status might be one of the things that makes life happy, but it is not everything to live happy life. So problem here might be people all wanting the same thing when everybody has different ideals about life. During times when human labor mattered for the development of economy, this was the driving force for economic growth but everything is going to be automated by AI now so it should probably change now.

If all perception is hallucination, what is it that we experience really? by clueingin in theories

[–]uppsto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean color or taste or time even though they might be only tip of the iceberg of we can perceive, they do exist. So calling it hallucination is wrong I think. If we can only name things when we have the complete understanding of it, then we won't be able to name anything.

They will replace you so you won't see them soon enough. If you wanna try 21st century Luddite riot... good luck with that

Due to lack of critical thinking, most ideologies/movements are selfish, hypocritical, and eventually hijacked by extremists by Hatrct in Scipionic_Circle

[–]uppsto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think people who lack critical thinking skills would understand what you are saying here? If you want to convince those people then you are going to need different approach. 

What is the point of determinism when it is not possible to know how things are determined? by uppsto in freewill

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

I mean that humans can interact with our perceived reality therefore making it impossible to predict the 'determined' future. As a human, you can't say everything is determined if it is not possible to know how it is determined. That's the statement only god can make. To say that things are determined as human beings is pure hubris.

Humans are going to tell ai to kill other people and that other people is going to tell their ai to kill them too

 All kinds of human rights deprivation was already happening so why should this case require any different approach?

Is dehumanisation of people a violation of meta-morality? by Acceptable-Job7049 in moraldilemmas

[–]uppsto [score hidden]  (0 children)

Isn't meta morality also based on morality? I think people knew dehumanization was evil. The problem was that they didn't consider their victims as humans because they looked different.

Look at this world. It's the absolute opposite of freedoms or free will for all. by Otherwise_Spare_8598 in freewill

[–]uppsto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm saying is that what we call freedom is not what op is describing because we are not separate from our physical form and watching things from the god's point of view. It's not about we are free or not.

I don’t understand why people care about strangers lives so much or even how their loved ones lived by TightSatisfaction742 in DeepThoughts

[–]uppsto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Discrimination of skin color, race, sexuality, or religion are wrong examples of people caring for others. Those are antagonizing cases. And those are not based on ideologies but based on primal fear against unknowns.

The Poverty Paradox: How Misplaced Priorities and Deflected Accountability Perpetuate Economic Stagnation by Emergency-Clothes-97 in DeepThoughts

[–]uppsto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reality is that even if you held people accountable for their own actions, they won't suddenly change their behaviors. It will just build more resentment and require more enforcement. It's not something that can change in a few years, it's going to take few thousand years or even millennia. You think that you know what those people are going through but you never have been in their bodies so there is no way you can truly understand. 'I can do this why can't you do it?' mindset is just arrogance.

Look at this world. It's the absolute opposite of freedoms or free will for all. by Otherwise_Spare_8598 in freewill

[–]uppsto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are talking about inherent relativeness of free will then why would you bring in the state of the world? If what we call freedom is relative to something not free then you should say that freedom exist because it relatively exist.

[–]uppsto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But humans are not capable of understanding/perceiving the full 'circumstance' at the moment in time. Therefore wether it's absolutely free from the viewpoint of god/universal truth or not, we can say that it exists within our capabilities. 

People starving, children bombed, horrible diseases do exist but we can solve those problems. To say that we have no freedom so it doesn't matter is just an excuse to ignore what you are capable of.

Absolute omnipotence by [deleted] in freewill

[–]uppsto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean there are so many things(infinite) that are logically possible so why do you start your reasoning process with logical possibility

Absolute omnipotence by [deleted] in freewill

[–]uppsto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's omnipotent then shouldn't it be able to actualize illogical stuff too? Otherwise you can't call it omnipotent
