Date: February 11th, 2026 9:45 PM Author: robot daddy naive physicalism has been done here for a while. it is clearly too narrow and fails to accommodate information, observer dependence and emergent structural complexity. but there is nothing wrong with non-reductionist types of physicalism if they admit that things like quantum fields and informational constraints can still be "physical".
if you think there is an extra-physical layer or non-physical ontological substance thats just retarded. every time something like that has been proposed in the past it always turned out to be a placeholder for extra complexity that hadn't been described yet |

but people get so faggy trying to express what your second sentence is saying that i usually want to reject it lol |

Date: February 11th, 2026 11:48 PM Author: robot daddy yeah I agree it sounds cringe, especially nowadays, I agree but unfortunately it's correct. I think it depends on how its expressed. Like if you get into it hard with "oh so you believe in some magic essence, kind of like how people used to believe in vitalism or people thought "caloric" was a magic substance called heat? what kinds of other folk science and woo do you also feel the need to reify. guess it looks like superstition isn't dead" -- if you say some shit like that it sounds faggy. But also it's actually true that humans like to use placeholder metaphors to explain things that haven't fully been explained yet. not because they are dumb but because the underlying system is insanely rich and complex a human knowledge is local and will always be incomplete (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5833893&forum_id=2).#49664969) |
