Re: TPF : Scopenhauer worldview
In other words, it's not suffering all the way down - suffering has a cause and an end . I wouldn't look to Nietzsche for insight on that, however. — Wayfarer Yes. I don't project a sunny Pollyanna view onto our imperfect world. But I also can't subscribe to Schop's gloomy-give-up outlook. I wouldn...

Re: TPF : Scopenhauer worldview
I have never been able to get on board with his Debbie Downer*1 "wanh, wanh, wah" Pessimism and Roseanne Rosannadana "it's always something" — Gnomon Grow up mate. Schopenhauer is for Big School , not kindy. — Wayfarer OK. I'll leave the grown-up philosophy to those who are able to gnaw on tough gri...

Re: TPF : Scopenhauer worldview
This is extremely uncharitable... This is dismissive, trivializing, mocking, etc. all with admittedly not reading much of his ideas . This is a transparent smear campaign! — schopenhauer1 I wasn't talking about ↪schopenhauer1, but about a dismal worldview that is not amenable to my own . From comme...

TPF : Scopenhauer worldview
Was Schopenhauer right? The only reason I am hesitant to say, in a very light manner, that I don't agree with him because of his denial of the will to live. ___ Shawn I still think the opening few sentences of WWR are among the immortal utterances of philosophy: “The world is my idea”. — Wayfarer I...

Re: TPF : Information and Randomness
Oh no, that's not it. I'm just saying that it cannot do what it doesn't do. This is the law of non-contradiction: it states that c ontradictory propositions cannot both be true in the same sense at the same time. Hence it cannot simply be omniscient when it interacts with the universe. The only way...

Re: TPF : Information and Randomness
Everything is truly predetermined. The future is what it will be. There is simply no room for choice , chance or randomness. The negative self-reference refutes this possibility. — ssu Some self-reference is necessary to have a self-concept. So I guess you're saying that Laplace's demon is omniscie...

Re: TPF : Information and Randomness
He (Laplaca) doesn't need a math Demon or God. Because there is no selection done. — ssu I'm afraid you're getting way over my head, since I know nothing about Laplace, except for a couple of famous quotes. I assume you're referring to Laplacian Scores (I Googled "Laplace Selection"), but I won't b...

Re: TPF : Deism and Evolution
We’re the only ‘tiny fraction of the cosmos’ who know what that means . It’s amusing in the extreme that objective science, which is a cognitive mode only available to h. Sapiens, then declares its authors insignificant in the ‘grand scheme’ - a grand scheme that is their own mental creation! (I ha...

Re: TPF : Deism and Evolution
Buddhism, for one example, has had this creed of " no origin " for a few millennia now. — javra Buddhism actually has a rather strange and not very well known creation story . — Wayfarer I'm no expert on Buddhist beliefs, but a quick Google indicates that there is no single dogma on the topic of Ev...
