In fact the planets aren't orbiting the sun. They're orbiting the galactic center, and the sun just happens to disturb their orbits a bit: https://youtu.be/0jHsq36_NTU?si=VbRsJ_SyA7JK4TD8&t=53

Ok, but then I fear you're either contradicting yourself, or addressing a point I didn't make. Let me restate: 1. energy123 says that, if we completely annihilate the body of X and then we re-assemble it one planck time later, X i

Sorry, perhaps I just don't know what "monism" truly means, I admit my ignorance, but if we just limit ourselves to the mind-body problem, I just meant that a dualist position considers the mind as separate from the body, and

Just because the brain doesn't form memories while you sleep, doesn't mean you have ceased to exist. You have probably forgot many things that have happened to you today: does that mean you didn't exist in those moments you f

None of these scenarios would result in "me" from a monist perspective. The destruction is a discontinuity point, I died there and then, and then the next planck moment a new being was created with all my memories. But "I&quo

I admit that this is a troubling problem with the position that I stated, but I don't think it's a complete takedown. The easiest rebuttal would be to simply say that continuity is not a mere implementation detail. If you give up

A true monist would realize that any experience of the uploaded being that received a copy of the brain is not felt by the original brain that has been copied. This is a fact and it is elementary to see it as true, as well as supporting the

I don't know if this is discussed by actual serious philosophers, but consider the issue of "mind uploading." I have seen very staunch monists seriously discussing that, if you were to produce a complete digital copy of your

You do realize that the literal first factor that is used to calculate that index is GDP per capita, right? And that life expectancy (another factor) correlates with the GDP of the country? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

This and the other top comments are right that sharing an artist is only the crudest (and very noisy) way to estimate actual influence. I suppose one way to improve it would be to actually looking at the songs themselves, which might be pos

All correct, it was also one point raised by the reviewers. They had some suggestions about temporal centrality, but in the end I didn't followup on that because this centrality analysis was just a descriptive part that didn't rea
