Why Conspiracy Theories?

[vimothy]

meaning what? this has been a long convo

 

[IdleRich]

Broadly you said something about how because of the nature of mathematical functions they Intuitively cannot lead to free-will.

 

[vimothy]

oh ok

 

[vimothy]

I stand by that. i don't think anything you've said has disproved it or even addressed it

 

[vimothy]

the fact that life arose out of non-life does not mean that life can arise out of a mathematical function, at a sufficient level of complexity

 

[IdleRich]

I think the bigger point is that you can't make that argument... might as well just say "it's just common sense".

 

[vimothy]

surely i could say the same for your argument

 

[IdleRich]

I don't see that.

 

[vimothy]

it's not even a question of common sense, really. show me the self-aware mathematical function which disproves my arg.

 

[vimothy]

I don't see that.

life can arise out of non-life, therefore... common sense

 

[IdleRich]

it's not even a question of common sense, really. show me the self-aware mathematical function which disproves my arg.

Obviously if we had a self-aware function then the debate wouldn't be happening.

 

[vimothy]

Im sure such a function will be discovered soon

As an impartial observer I award that debate to Vimothy, he's the winner.

 

[catalog]

stan tapped out early poor lad

 

[luka]

He realised he was working from a ridiculous assumption and has gone back to the drawing board

 

[catalog]

i would like to see some of stans films.

 

[luka]

What do you mean? What are his films?

 

[catalog]

i thought he studied filmmaking? so presumably hes made some films?

 

[luka]

Seems unlikely

 

[luka]

He never participates in any arty threads and he has no opinions on arty stuff. He's fixated on this notion of submitting totally to God, God being some form of algorithm or something and a capitalist
