ಠ_ಠ I believe stupidity to be far scarier... ಠ_ಠ You can give a deadly item to a smart person and he will probably not kill himself. Give anything to someone stupid and they will surely find a way to kill themselves with it. I take that back, they don't even need to be give anything, they will...

ಠ_ಠ I bet she'd try to pull the same one on cops too. ಠ_ಠ One trick pony.

My first thought would be: You intentionally asked me like that, did you not? Smart bastard... I'll play your game.

Speak for yourself, that's very valuable information regarding in how we interact with CC when he's in a "love" state.

O, I remember school! Math teacher trying to explain maths using cake metaphor. ಠ_ಠ Really, you talking about a cake durring a math class? What madness is this... I don't even need to imagine stuff... people do it for me, and they think they look serios to others... who would take a math...

Not so long ago I was helping a friend renovate an apartment where he intends to move to. And there were two furnaces, one sprayed gold color and the other silver, My first thoughts: ಠ_ಠ Did people who spray them that color also burn golden and silver firewood in them? ಠ_ಠ I guess after they...

As I was little I organized stuff by shape, later in more complex way. Some time afterwards I had great trouble trying to understand what is the best way to organize and began to procrastinate. Some more time passed and I no longer cared about organizing because I couldn't do it, and only...

My bad, I should have pointed out to use exact or approximate words, sentences that you would say, use. @Methodician, @Blarraun, sounds interesting in how would you do that in under 1 min time period so that everyone understands what you're saying.

What would you say, if you had the attention of the whole world for 1 minute that would have the most impact on it?

Everything is fair. When someone says "unfair", they actually mean that it's "more fair" and they want to be in that position too. If there are a bunch of balls scatered on the ground and they are all still, they are fair to each other. If one starts moving it becomes "unfair" in realation to...

I believe my thining to be a mess. It can be words, numbers, symbols, concepts, images, experiences, feelings... when I'm asked what I'm thinking about I respond: It's not important. The correct answer would be: I have no damn clue.

Now I am not sure if I am an INTP or an INFJ who's very judgmental about own feelings and simulating INTP in turn... :kodama1: Further analysis of thinking and feeling needed. (most of the time I feel like/that thinking is needed... what does that even mean.)

Never did I think that the approximate translation of the words which I used to define what I think into opposites could yield so much meaning! This blows my mind to a degree.

This should have been named: Answer the question above and pose a new (question which has the same pattern). Or: The game of learning.

@Variform I see, I see. I had the same mindset about the issue at hand, I also had the same view point on my mother. I came to realize that it's nobodies fault, you can't blame anyone because nobody was actually consciously thinking about what they are doing. Nobody was aware that something...

Extra careful? What is careful of carefully? Appears legis.

edit: @redbaron, props for posing this question. ______________________________________ @Hawkeye THANK YOU, you gave me insight on what my answer ment. It's the possibility of learning. Bring up two diferent things (definitions if you may) and define how they interact with each other. This...

My view point changed to that, as the more correct approach to the problem.

@Variform I can see where you're coming from on that, I only now noticed my error in forming my satement along with responses. Thank you for you sincere concern of my well being. I can only assume that it's because I associated everything with feelings that I perceive as "bad", so no matter...

Agreed.

I have come to realize that, not a well thought out course of action. As for memory and "the intricacies of its functioning demanding to be uncovered". I believe its impossible to work with something that goes in circles and into infinity without braking the whole thing down into bits and...

That is a view point I share with you. While unable to define consciousness, I try to recognize what it does and I speculate about thought proccess for example, feelings, emotions, memorie storage, etc. I'll have to check that thread carefuly, later.

Undefined "0". Well that is, a problem. In any case. if I define "0" as "light is off', "one" as "1" and in turn "light is on", than "0" is opposite to "1" and "one". On the basis that we define "light is on" and "light is off" as opposite. True answer lies in a post that will "never" be...

I agree with you completely on that. "If I define Objective view or Total objectivity as a form of knowing everything and judging by universal law." This is a wrong assumption because judgment in it self is subjective. "Than we can actually experience that "everything" by just being aware"...

Love seems to have a shifting abstract definition and each person defines it diferently, doesn't mean that they are wrong in how they define it. They are wrong to think that they can define it in a correct way to begin with. i.e. 1.If I say that I consider Color green to be perfect, someone...

Why, how and exactly What, turns the engine on...

That I agree with what you said and elaborated on how it doesn't contradict my speculation. Yes, and yes, also another yes. To all 3 points. I can elaborate on what I think is happening and how my proposed speculation fits into all that.

I agree with what you said. But I'd like some input on another idea as well, regarding this. If I define Objective view or Total objectivity as a form of knowing everything and judging by universal laws. Than we can actually experience that "everything" by just being aware and not judging...

I agree with what you have said. You can also add as examples to the meta stage. " I feel like feeling that way is wrong." "I must judge my judgement so it corresponds to what is moral" I am led to think that yes, meta realm is flawed in that regard and it is a realm of Objective...

I can't define consciousness but I think that thinking is one of it's properties, along with feelings. I agree that neither thinking or feeling is memory alone, what I imply is that feelings are interconnected memories which activate particular patterns of responses that could be predefined...

Re: Now I just speculate what makes a human, "human". It's not my intent to find a complete explenation to human behavior but to search for a way to replicate some of its aspects in an AI.

This is a speculation. When ever we think of something, we have already experienced it once in life, or have memory of someone describing it. It is hard to talk about it on our current level so I'll give an example of proccess of thought in someone around the age of 3 years old. At the age...

In a sense it's similar to: There is a possibilitie that a meteor might hit earth, as such, scientists hope to find information about space stored in it like a time capsule. Thus I have faith that discovery could be made through analysis of a meteor. Didin't want to sound religios, it was...

I've heared of it. Durring middle ages when Royal figures would arrange marriage of their children in order to aquire lands or alike. Or at current times, making promises at the table to form bonds with other families in such fashion. There is also a factor of financial security in place...

I hold the same opinion as TheHabitatDoctor, and I agree with how Architect put it. Not only is evolution blind but it's slow, reality as we know it might cease to exist one day and expecting evolution to solve it's mysteries is just ... not efficient.

I did not consider such approach. I can now agree perfectly that Love is an idea and something abstract. While Acts of love, or to express Love, is to make others aware of your love through particular set of Societal rules and customs. and the reason why it's hard for teens and young-adults...

My humble apologies. I was noticing it was getting out of hand and if it went further on, I'd much have prefered to make another thread to discuss such possibility. It was not my intention to do so, if anything, I was just pointing out that someone going public about their religion is letting...

@Jennywocky I think religious affiliation isn't worth much nowadays. You'd do better to take people on their own commitment to a particular moral code -- even if it's just their own Point taken, and I now conclude that lower belief in God is not the reason for low morality and Love's status...

Marriage is actually something that church frowns upon, they'd much prefer couples to live as partners without the need of marriage. It's just a couple of papers and rings and a ceremony because someone wanted god to bless their love so it would become "eternal". As for "even people who read...

@Jennywocky zealots are capable of much more damage against other human beings, versus the moderate/casual crowd. They take their values so seriously that they are willing to punish, abuse, ostracize, discriminate against those who don't share those values with them. That implies one thing...

While I see how you perceive it to be so. I'm still led to believe that religion gives a little twist to Love's definition, as something sacred. As such, you don't go jumping from one man onto another and having sexual intercourse with every 3rd. Believing that it's perfectly fine. Because it...

This reminds me that we have a lot more people not believing in gods existence than when we had at previos times. I mean, once a lowly peasant no longer believes in a supreme power that can judge him and decide his fate, he is no longer in awe of it, what allows him to commit all sorts of...

That is a much better version of what I wanted to say. That view point probably corelates with the change sexual revolution and Rock 'n' Roll brought about, along with changing community into consumer type.

@The void Sorry about my post, it wasn't well writen, more along the lines of scraps of what I was working with and refining. Glad it was enough to get an idea across. That appears to be one of consciousness functions, traits. My consciousness reads your post because that was predefined...

Re: CONSCIOUSNESS UNDEFINED @The Void Your definitions are circular. That is correct, but we're not really interested in the definition but more in the pattern that is in place of how things work. Which we can define, unlike the loop itself. You defined consciousness by using the word...

@BigApplePi It's a good thing I actually was able to put it together without losing it or erasing everything if I was to add one more layer, (erasing what doesn't make sense, because you can't make much sense when you deal with hazards) While I was able to describe how it works by analysing...

I am starting to notice something remarkable, atleast to me. Everyone who is on this forum has some level of awarness of internets activity. They form 1st sub-level. Now I put you in position as someone who notices this as well as I do and you realise that they don't notice the higher...

@BigApplePi Guess I'm ready to bring something interesting up. In my native language we have a word "Sąmonė" or "Sąmoningum-as" which translates into Consciousness. We also have "Sąmoningum-o", what translates into awarness. These are not the "base words but a construct of prefixes and...

I am not sure if it's intelligence that is measured that way... Rolling eyes, rotating a head like an owl, walking, scratching your head, holding a chin, looking up into the sky or into horizon and coming back with an answer. And depending on an answer and the way it was processed, there is a...

I believe we don't know everything about what there is, as such I have faith that existence of ghosts and supernatural is true because that could become a new field of research. That's the drawback of intelligent people, we just can't dismiss even the most "stupid" things, we must analize...
