It still leaves me lingering in a space-time-continuum where I search for the safety of rational completeness, while inadvertently living on a Möbious strip.

I have just been subjected to a Paradox Exception caused by reading that the memory safe Rust language has and can cause undefined behaviour. My spatial location code in the Universe has been marked with a Time-Space::Paradox violation and

How did you reach the conclusion that the author specifically meant this part of Gregory of Nyssa's religious thinking? It could just as likely be that the author has come to realise that Gregory of Nyssa was correct in his arguments f

If one were either the director or a senior leader of a more-or-less covert biolab doing research that is definitely supposed not to be discovered, would you have done your job if you had not established a procedure for medical treatment of

This seems to be one of the most dangerous propositions that I have ever heard of. Given human history, human psychology, human error, politics etc. What am I missing here? That biolabs are the only human made thing that can be made absolut

Yes. You did do that. But the monkey wasn't too happy. And you have been banned from the zoo. So was it really the correct approach? ;-)

Thank you. That comment just made my day :-) (now to wiping the tears of laughter from my face...)

I have heard of the worlds tiniest violin - but the 'universes' tiniest? How can we possibly be assured that your violin really is the tiniest? There may be some civilization, maybe in Alpha Centauri maybe around Betelgeuse, tha

Or maybe not that subjective when looked at closer. It may just as well be a saying that the entitled classes use to defend their selfish and less than good behaviour. Beacause the classes of the not-entitled buy this as somehow having reas

I am left with questions... Are a content analysis of films supposed or expected to be Truth - with a capital T? Can they be? We are in the realm of fictional narrative as to what concerns the films. Granted, all fiction and narrative must

The knight shape does seem off. But it avoids the piece being a sun symbol / fascist tribute piece :-)

Who do you mean by "... those countries ..."? If we are talking state level, will a paywall really make any difference? Could it be that enemy spies already have their finger on the pulse for interesting research, unless it is ve

Animals do not become thinking beings, by human standards, just because we wish it to be so. I have had cats for most of my life. They are wonderful conscious and sentient beings. But they have limitations. As far as I can tell, they are a

Thanks for the clarification. Perhaps what this really shows is that a reincarnation system, where you can be reincarnated as an animal or thing that has no mental concept of good or evil, does not make sense. Because such a system cannot b

All the religious systems that incoporates reincarnation, that I am aware of, does include the concept of evil in some way. It seems your post contradicts itself? First quote "... that you are reincarnated and move up or down the ladde

I take your point. The framing of ones thoughts is actually very important. It can be tricky though to get to framing that works, since in my experience it requires that the frames has solid meaning.

This is not meant to belittle your positive and well meaning post. But for people with real depression, giving the advice to just cheer up and look a bit more positively on things is the worst possible thing you can say and give as advice.

You may have reached a core existential struggle. This is in my experience fundamental to existence: does existence itself make up for the pain and adversity of the world? The spiritual struggle is in many ways to accept that life in this w

I hope you are right. I have never been in or seen a workplace where management is not playing the 'get the order at (nearly) all costs - let others handle the problems' game. Again, I hope I am wrong. But these type of companies

Nice. How do you break out of the Matrix, when your knowledge of the Matrix and the desire to break out is part of the Matrix and your programming? Hmm.

This may point to a key problem in the hypotheses, theories and conclusions. When you are in Africa, a "think horses" paradigm, may lead you very astray in your thinking.

I also don't know why. But I like the wording. This can be a new meme for programming language afficionado-skeptics: feature [...] is overloaded past its breaking point. Sent to the demi-gods at the meme ™ registrar office.

These are thought experiments. So other sensible viewpoints are only a contribution. I am myself also trying to work out where AI leaves us. Not just in this case, but because we will be hit by AI in the computer science field - hardware, s

Perhaps we are in new legal territory, where existing copyright laws and legal theory doesn't cover the issues completely? I wonder how things will go if (or when) similar AI technology enters the realm of production industries e.g. ma

First this made me really laugh. Second I had to really think about it. Third I realised that this is actually completely correct.

I know from personal experience how seductive and attractive thoughts of ending your own life can be. Imagining and looking forward to the escape from this horrible world can be so full of joy. The calm, clarity and bliss you experience is

Agree. It is my conclusion after a lifelong pursuit of knowledge, that life continues on the so called other side. We mess with the entrance and exit of this world at our own peril. I have myself been very close to death. So I know what it
