ewald said:... Then how are people to understand your prose? It relies heavily on philosophical jargon and expects the reader to have an extensive amount of background information.
Or in other words: It would be stupid to ignore Chris's work, as it is based on lots of Science. If you don't study it, your are stuck with some of the oldest fashioned texts you could think of. Chris won't bother to make his work more accessible, he's just going to continue repeating it ad nauseum in its obscure state on this forum.lightofreason said:If you dont have the depth, or are not prepared to study then dont worry about it all - you just keep going with your 10th century BC style of thinking and totally ignore 3000 years of development in neurosciences, psychology, sociology, anthropology, cognitive science, computer science, mathematics, logic, statistics etc etc etc I am sure you will be just fine.

You mean something that more than a few people on this forum can understand.lightofreason said:IDM/IC+ is on going work. Maybe one day it might evolve into something even you can understand ;-)
lightofreason said:At last Martin you reveal your true colours.
autumn said:Response:No, That is ONE aspect of the whole (and a preferred one for me personally), not the whole.
The whole what?
autumn said:Therefore, there is no inherent meaning (local, immediately relevant meaning) in a hexagram.
jesed said:Hi autumn
If I understand well your posts, here is some central issue/question:
Human brains and how human brain derivate meaning is the only valid aproach to reality?
In other words: Could reality exist without human brains?
Answer: yes... reality existed long time before human brain exist... and will exist long time after human specie extintion...
So, to find out how human brain derivate meaning is interesting, but is not the unique focus of my atention.
Best wishes
ps. Is interesting how Cris adopt a antropocentric philosophy (the center of reality is human as specie)... beacuse that is a 10th Centruty BC thinking (See the Genesis in Bible just as one example in the cristian field), when 21th Century thinking is about leave that antropocentrism (see, just as one example in cristian field, to follow in the same field of the previous example, the new Teology of the Earth...or Teology of Nature, where humans as specie is not the center of reality, but just one element to integrate with all the others)
So if we want clarity about a situation we shouldn't divine and get one or a few answers, but we should consider 64 hexagrams, each XOR-ed 64 times, so 4096 different answers to our question? Is that efficient?lightofreason said:divination, magical thinking, child-mindedness is inefficient.

autumn said:You are completely ignoring the point of the questions I've posed to you. Absolutely and completely avoiding it and ignoring it.
autum said:What is your position on where the "whole of consciousness" exists in time and space?
autumn said:You are also completely avoiding the problem of underlying assumptions inherent in the concept of Univerals.
You are familiar with Plato? The existence of Universals is on-going philosophical debate. There is nothing paradigm-shattering in the concept.
autumn said:The arrogance of men is amazing
autumn said:Are you even reading what I'm writing here, or did you assume that my gender made that unnecessary?

getojack said:Uhh, Chris?
I think she left, so you can stop trying to intellectually rape (force your "facts" on) her now. ..Getojack
lightofreason said:I address my material to all as minds first.
bruce_g said:I too was hostile toward Chris, once, about 4-5 years ago, back when I took things too personally. :bag:
lightofreason said:NOWHERE do I assert humans are the centre of reality - that is stupid, infantile, primitive thinking when we take into consideration all we have discovered on our planet and off it.
sparhawk said:Hey,! who wasn't?? I've been reading Chris since he was booted out of the Hex-8 forum and he was never short of controversial and counterculture... He can write though, and he's much more mellow, right Chris? He's not taking things too personally either.
Now for a little secret: He's NOT human. He's a Borg and any resistance is futile. Beware! A big giveaway is having the keyboard wired to his brain and the giveaway for that is how much he can write in 5 minutes while still holding firmly to his thought.... LOL!!
