Mh, balance that ball on your finger while keeping it in spin or dribble it between your legs while spinning your body around and see how many conscious decisions you make while not stepping into canine feces.


Just a comment:

Sounds like a non-issue that can and will be solved or upcycled by people who just think out of that little game theory box.


You are interpreting. And what you are describing is most likely not a function or the result of consciousness.

Pain and fear exist entirely as the return of the CNS. Your consciousness taps into this function to give those interpretations of sensations with external and internal origins properties that support your cognitive processing so that you can make sense (without necessarily creating order) of them in your past, current and future contextS and get to the roots of pains and anxieties to adequately handle them in order to refocus on thriving.

It's like that pain in my leg that dissolves when I stretch and massage it with a Lacrosse ball or something. Or that other pain in my neck and shoulders that disappears when I train through the pain and then massage and stretch those muscles. Some of the things I do to get rid of my pain go against conventional knowledge but I do them because I learned to listen to my intuition which in turn learns from those external and internal sensations and my minds cognitive processing of these sensations.

People with low (levels) of awareness or low consciousness - in most cases entirely the result of stress and or low stimulation - just drop a pill and never get to the roots of the issue causing the pain. That's true even for people with higher education. And many of them have painfully bad medical professionals in their area or "class" and or are treated badly because 'fascism' ...

So getting and or remaining in a state of bliss is quite possible. And you don't have to meditate into it. All you need to do is to learn to understand what your mind and body tell you via senses and consciousness and then find ways to act on this information by getting to the roots of your issues. ( Dreams don't have anything to to do with any of this, btw, not necessarily, because you are sleeping and your senses are mostly off and your consciousness is in an entirely different state )

No spirituality involved at all. If you do take some pills, use the resulting peace of mind to do the workout, the stretch, the processing of painful memories or thoughts. If you take the pill, don't add distractions.

But that's really just another interpretation ;], one that can probably make a few bucks wherever. Feel free to throw me a coin if you do use any of this commercially ;]


I stopped using LLMs entirely. Proper googling, which isn't broken, btw, doesn't cost that much more time, I realised and it let's me have more secondary and ternary related factual info that I didn't ask for, because how would I even know yet?

So spending just a little more time on the (re)search via standard methods provides me with more extensive, fact-checked, reviewed and discussed information than any of the LLMs that I used did.


wtf. this does not sound like complexity, not even nonsense, actually. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong ]

I understand why this wouldn't be anyone's thing.

Do you know of any countries where government employees handled 'the whole thing' adequately?


you can make it work. just think of the many approaches and you'll see that there are actually quite many viable ways to work around pseudo-infinite context.


if-then-high-chance logic is for sex education & prototypes, not for airplanes carrying insured passengers


This general inquiry is strange. This entire rock is asteroids crashing into each other for millions of years and counting.


like the few people we have in the fields are enough to ask all the questions and do all the handywork.


> THE underlying function

So this is about where it clicked for me: A function, to us normies, is something consisting of at least one part that doesn't do anything and another part that does something but has no tangible form, 'the operation'. So, to me, irreducible can only mean that there is some level where the function is the thing and vice versa, so that this irreducible function, from our (current) space-time-perspective, has no constituents except 'self'.

Which is nonsense, because self is worthless without stuff it can react with or to. Except, is it really?

A femtosecond can't be experienced because subpixel-sized movements/fractions of reactions happen during this short measurement. But that's irrelevant for the interface between this function and nature and evolution from their current space-time-POV and their, and thus our, space-time-blind-spots. It's like thought and action when there is not enough time to stop a movement or when stopping that exact movement would terminate the intended result.

But I actually don't think that irreducibility is the right term. It should be liminality or something, focusing on the fact that nothing temporary is measurable before the emergence of THE underlying function, which is what I used to think The Planck length is for (more or less) constant space.
