Aristotle's Lagoon


More on Aristotle (excerpt):
When the Athenian philosopher Plato died in 347 BC his student, Aristotle, left Athens and moved to the Aegean island of Assos. With the help of other philosophers he established a new school on the nearby island of Lesbos, where he lived for two more years.

Blogger put one of my posts behind a warning. Their hypocrisy really knows no bounds.

Amen!

Well, it asks me to sign in(to know my age, bleh).

And I can't answer under your posts (without sign in) anyway.

So, I will answer here, and who knows what will follow. ;-)

//Well, if you 'honey, I shrunk the kids!' the above to the nano/femto level, that weirdness of weirdness known as quantum mechanics starts to rule how matter behaves.

Quantum Mechanic -- that is how ALL matter works ALL of the time.

That's just TOO MANY of that Quantum Weirdness in everyday life. So we just see averages, which we threat as Non-Weirdness.

Talk to Blogger... it isn't me. I allow anonymous comments.

Captcha is "off" too. Don't know what's going on.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

As for shadow banned? Who's to say what the algorithm does?

Anonymous said...

That's it, that's it.

Instead of "goat ate my homework", it's "algo did it, not me". ;-p

Plausible denial -- root of all and any (political) power.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Claim credit for all "good" effects, and place blame on opponents for any "ill effects". Scapegoating "heals"... and what better scapegoat than an algorithm and the incompetent programmer who built him? It's the "power" of scapegoating to make visibles invisible and invisibles visible.

Who knows... you not trying to be very expoicit. Or straightforward.

And treating my words that way -- like having double bottom.

Did you ever read Tacitus? Esoteric speech is de rigueur in times of political struggle. Criticism of the wrong people can get you "cancelled"... and not just digitally.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Just ask Tulsi Gabbard, who 'flipped' on 702 last week.

Anonymous said...

Whatever.

I'm apolitical (in respect to USA -- for sure) and you know it.

Yawn

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Esoteric speech also opens windows and doors.

See?

Prev my comment is Perfect Example of Unwanted Truth.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Unwanted, or simply Unknown? And is that how Dark Matter works? Because dark matter (if it exists) doesn't seem to interact with ordinary matter (although it appears to me to be able to "decay" into photons in the presence of magnetic fields for some unexplained reason)

Self-deception?

Yes.

Yawn.

No, an "open" mind that rejects the delusion of certainty

The phrase qui pro quo, or quiproquo (from medieval Latin: literally qui instead of quo), is common in languages such as Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and French, where it means a misunderstanding.

Like a window that functions as a door.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Instead of using either, one can use the word portal, and allow the listen to interpret it as window or door. Or a limbic space to a sacred space... like a torii.

What you are talking about?

I know how Evolution working. Why I need to surrender such knowlage??? And adopt some chasing of wild guss technique.

W.H.Y.???

What's the merit?

Anonymous said...

"Knowlage itself is power"

But you propose to me to surrender that power (and seeking of more valid and robust knowladge -- means, more power)

What for?

Why I need to react that way?

(see, meta+talks,I do not say a word inside it, but pointing to outside matters... discussing color of cover of a book, not its content) ;-)

To discover something new you must try something new. Isn't that evolution's technique? Serendipitous?

A fusion of two unrelated organisms that then form into a symbiosis?

Thinking requires an expense of energy...

Anonymous said...

Yea.

That's why it depends on Principle of Economy AKA Occam's Razor.

Or.... ptagmatism, for short.

Just as Golem XVI poinyed out -- one need not only to think -- but also think about what you do thinking about. And how to do that better.

How "pragmatic" was Antigone?
