1984. The book.

A book is a stack of rectangular sheets of processed plants printed with text, all held together on one side.

What’s up with all the masks? Do they want to be anonymous?

You people are the drunkest, horniest person at the party. You will do literally anybody. Philosophically speaking.

That and 50 cents will inspire me to outrage, but most of these people are cheaper. How dare he criticize the popular narrative etc.

If (favorite scientist) told you to cut off your nose, you’d do it.

You are all so doomed.

I doubt that. I think the pushback starts when you threaten somebody’s cash flow. The women thing is a red herring.

Apparently not

Yes. Me too.

I would describe it as the sound of a big quick blast of compressed air. Like when you disconnect a compressor fitting.

Which is pretty similar.

Short loud white noise.

A flash of white light in sound form?

Me.

It’s an explosion in my head.

Like this : imagine a sound. For example, a cat meow. Meow meow. You doing that? Are you “hearing” that meow in your “mental sound space”?

Now imagine the sound is 500x louder. And it isn’t a meow, its an explosion.

It sounds like the blast of compressed air when you disconnect a compressor fitting.

That’s what it’s like.

It happens in half-sleep.

I’ve had big blasts that make me go “woah” a couple times a month since forever. I had a really big blast that made me go “holy shit!” just a couple days ago.

No he didn’t…

This is exhausting.

Who’s dumber, the dummy or the guy who tries to engage the dummy in conversation, in a house run by cubizoids?

…felt were revolutionary

Ah, lead with an insult. What a good moderator.

Your excuse for removing my post seems bogus to me.

If you think otherwise then DISCUSS it. That’s what we do here.

Yes yes.

On a tangential note, I just had a post removed from nostupidquestions. My post about the degradation of knowledge.

Apparently lemmy mods have recently been given the power of shadow-removal (the power to temove while keeping you in the dark about the fact), which is nice.

When everybody you talk to is dumb as a rock. When the people in charge have the integrity of jello. What then? Is it worthwhile sifting cesspools for specks of intelligent conversation then?

It’s a conversation, not a fight.

We think and talk about what we observe in terms of rules because rules are a convenient way to think and talk about it. That is the long and short of it.

Maybe you just don’t understand.

I’m pointing out a degradation of knowledge and exploring the point at which it is considered false.

For example : a man examines a phenomenon, performs a complex experiment relating to it. Comes up with a nice model. Communicates the model to you. You understand the model but your understanding of the actual phenomenon, maybe less so. So when you discuss the phenomenon with your friends, refer to the model, there’s a bit of bs there.

And another example : A blind man is told that the sky is blue. But his understanding of that is not like the understanding of one who actually observed the blue of the sky, obviously.

Call it what, an unavoidable corruption?

Well it’s a relative thing of course.

Hmm. I think of “physics” as a collection of models. What do you think of it as?

It would depend on my relationship with the body of knowledge I suppose. Are we married or just good friends?
