That's not what I meant. If you change your views based on the topic because you don't have arguments, then it's pretty much pointless to discuss with you. You simply contradict yourself all the time.

Alas as if I have not already told you so many times, discuss and argue with the POINTS and the MESSAGE rather than the MESSENGER. Would it have been better if I were anonymous?
For a serious discussion, it shouldn't.

You can't just talk from another perspective than yours, since it will be biased and it will result in total chaos
So please, stick to your perspective.

Let me handle that. Just as in CH, I'm trying to be objective here. Well at least, as objective as this can get -- of course my "idea" about the consensus reality is subjective but I mean, in the arguments.

Define "seriously"? Relativity was once a "not serious" discussions. Philosophers need to take upon such subjects even when they are not accepted by the general population above age 5
Relativity took some time to get accepted, but it was never the province of 5-year olds. This idea, though, is. Come on. You can't say that it's a legitimate idea.
Quote:
What is "outside" is only what the subconscious makes you believe -- truth be told, if you could command your subconscious you'll probably be able to "shape the world".
No, you'd be able to shape your perceptions of the world. Everyone looks at the same world. They perceive differences, but it's the same world. And why should I use your ideas?
Quote:
Try me.
For instance, a real HAXXOR would write "|-|/-\><0P\".
Quote:
It DOES affect, since it takes more power.
But the power is, for all practical purposes, infinite.
Quote:
is heat what we want to accomplish? No, since that way we wouldn't need coolers. Thus, it is not "intelligent" or "performant".
Heat affects us neither positively nor negatively. But the end that we seek comes to us faster. So it is more performant.
Quote:
"everyone" and "the Pope" are similar entities in an analogy at least.
Better not let ZJ hear you say that.

Quote:

Whenever you're subjective, you seem to have about half of the people agreeing with you and about half disagreeing. When you try to be objective, nearly everybody disagrees with you. Makes you wonder about how objective you're really being...

A 5 year old thinks about relativity, albeit in a childish way, without math and abstractions, just plain fun. However, I have yet to see any argument from you regarding the level of 5-year-oldness for this.
Quote:

I never said you should use my ideas. I said you should discuss them. I'm asking, what if actually our subconscious makes up everything (not so hard to believe with relativity anyway)? I mean, you speak of an "absolute" world, the one that we perceive -- however you fail to realize that proving such a thing is impossible and is, actually, not more solid than mine (I don't have proof either!). It is impossible because every proof will be relative
Quote:
For instance, a real HAXXOR would write "|-|/-\><0P\".
Those are leets, not haxxors. And yeah obviously when I say "haxxor" I'm using leet speech, albeit in a more light form. Obviously this statement was made more like a "joke" to express that I am some kind of 'geek' or computer guy.
Quote:
But the power is, for all practical purposes, infinite.
"practical purposes" is subjective. What one finds practical another might not. Some people might be concerned with that extra heat and energy consumption (electric energy I mean). Also, intelligence is not measured by "practical purposes" -- that is the "smartness" factor
Quote:
Heat affects us neither positively nor negatively. But the end that we seek comes to us faster. So it is more performant.
I'm afraid you failed the point of my example
You have two computers, one more powerful than the other (faster), but also takes more energy to work. This is all well, however, you use Bubble Sort on the more faster one, and Quick Sort (just algorithms) on the other, to sort 10000 variables.
What happens is that Bubble Sort is actually a SLOWER algorithm, thus the faster CPU finishes in the SAME time as the slower one, since it used a worse algorithm. Then, one asks the question: "Since the faster one took up more energy in this process, where did it go?" -- the answer is heat.
Do we want heat? Hell no, that's why we have coolers near the processor. Thus, the faster CPU, combined with the worse software, is actually less intelligent if we use the analogy.
Quote:

This is because almost everyone is subjective

Good job making a claim without any examples.

Because this way of thinking goes by way of the tooth fairy.
Quote:

Then - nothing. It doesn't make any difference, does it?
Quote:

All right, I'll grant you that.
Quote:
"practical purposes" is subjective.
Do you ever get the feeling that you're banging your head against the wall? Haven't we already had this discussion, and you went in with your claims that somebody would use a rudder as a pile of bricks - to slow a car down? That is an entirely inadequate counterargument.
Quote:
Then, one asks the question: "Since the faster one took up more energy in this process, where did it go?" -- the answer is heat.
Let us say that you operate two water mills. One is less efficient, and one is more efficient. However, the more efficient one is on a slower river, and can thus mill less. Then the first one is more "performant", because it gives you more of the results you want, even though it uses more water less efficiently.

Quote:

Examples? How about my life as a child?
Now seriously, I think we all know that every children likes to be "the center of the Universe". Most kids think their birthplace is the center of the Universe, or their home. Also, kids like to have wishes and dreams that come true -- they can come true, albeit, if my relativity ideas are implemented, since that's what they control, everything around them. Of course, I said they do so, in a childish manner, but at least they DO it.
Quote:

Alas discarding the tooth fairy because it sounds "silly" is like worshiping some authority because the alternative "sounds silly". You call those people "sheep".
It can be used the other way around as well: Are you a sheep because you subdue to the fact that tooth fairies are "silly" without any thinking/arguments?
And besides, it isn't silly for me.
Quote:
Then - nothing. It doesn't make any difference, does it?
Oh, but it does, in philosophical thinking. Philosophy seeks knowledge, not practical applications like science. Besides, if we find a way to concentrate and manipulate it, maybe it will make a difference. But how are we supposed to do that if we don't believe it in the first place?
Quote:

Why? Just because you think it is more "efficient", whatever that means, doesn't mean it's objective. And in fact, it is NOT, since energy can't be created NOR destroyed. Thus, there is no "waste" objectively, just a different form. Now, whatever you WANT to do with that energy, I'm sorry to inform you again, but it is subjective. A "need" (like: "what I want") is subjective. The practical applications are used to reach that SUBJECTIVE GOAL.
Therefore I proved my point.

No it is less efficient and less "intelligent". Let's say that it is a measure of "speed/consumption" ratio (in CPU i mean).

Quote:

This can be demonstrated easily through the use of mathematics. Let us say that River 1 provides 10 Productive Water Units, and River 2 provides 20 PWUs. Mill 1 has an Efficiency Factor (ratio at which it turns PWUs into Units of Useful Work) of 1.2. Mill 2 has an EF of 1.1. Therefore, when you use Mill 1 and River 1, you'll get 12 UUWs, while when you use Mill 2 and River 2, you'll get 22 UUWs. So even though the first one is more efficient, you'll get more of what you want with the second.

That's not how I see philosophy. Philosophy certainly seeks knowledge, but its findings are useless if they can't be implemented. For example, you can philosophize and say, "It'd be nice if people weren't selfish." So? What difference does it make? Meanwhile, when I philosophize, I use it as a tool to try to suggest a better society - something that would indeed be useful.
Quote:
Besides, if we find a way to concentrate and manipulate it, maybe it will make a difference. But how are we supposed to do that if we don't believe it in the first place?
You go ahead and try, but to me it seems like nonsense. If you can prove that it's possible, though, then that'll draw my attention.
Quote:
Why? Just because you think it is more "efficient", whatever that means, doesn't mean it's objective.
Yes, it does. It is not the purpose of a rudder to slow people down. You can use it for that purpose, just like you can kill people with a mop, but that is not the purpose of those objects.
Quote:
Thus, there is no "waste" objectively, just a different form.
Yes, there is. If I input 20 watts to do some work, and I only get 10 watts of useful output, then there is waste. This is objective, because I want 20 watts to do whatever I want to do, but get only 10.

See bold part.

And? In philosophy we can discuss about such sacrifice. Of course, it can just as well be Green unicorns, which is why there aren't really many arguments. However, as we have seen both from relativity and "Matrix" (virtual worlds), then the absolute, as you like to call it, is IMPOSSIBLE to be proven, since everything is relative. Thus, while I agree that my "ideas" are not very strongly backed up, your absolute viewpoint has even LESS (remember: we're not talking about practical applications, but about ideas) since a proof, as we all know, is impossible. I don't have proofs either.

Quote:

Seriously? Who makes this "purpose"? Nature? The universe? The one who invented it? Besides, the one who invented it is a guy that MANIPULATED some stuff nature has made (you can't create nature), thus he used the "purpose" of Nature itself.
I don't see such purpose written anywhere, except maybe in some Bibles. Why would it be objective?
Quote:

Energy can't be created nor destroyed.
Quote:

I want, is subjective.
the rest is heat. From Nature's point of view, there hasn't been any "waste". Nature's point of view is objective.
Quote:
Yes.
So are they objective? I mean, that's what they want to do
