Omg, thank you for the comment response, I really needed the smile that gave me today. You go little toaster!
Shadowrun shirt is good.
I eternally dig the shadowrun shirt.
Scrolled down and clicked thumbs up within 10 seconds of the video starting. I agree!
Hell yeah Shadow Run!
the comment about radical empathy made me think of how we feel about plants which kinda of straddle a line, being alive but not animate. i have never once felt bad for eating a plant, but would feel bad if a house plant died.
Well, unless you're talking about any houseplant, then maybe you feel bad because you were responsible for the health and growth of the house plant.
Hm. It may sound selfish but, would it be wrong to say that empathy is a projection of the self onto others? As you get an emotional connection with another thing, you are not only appreciating it more, but projecting all the time and effort you put in them and all the qualities you start seeing that you two share. This could apply both to people and objects
Plants are definitely animate it just exists at a different time-scale than animals - there are tons of cool time-lapse videos of vines "searching" for something to climb as they grow, or stalks/leaves bending to stay in the light. I've even recently read about an experiment that claims plants can "learn" associations between patterns of light and wind. Plus several experiments have shown that some plants can recognize their children/siblings and act less competitively with their kin.

you're reading shopenhauer wrong..... je's always emphasising how the uniqueness of a human's fulfillment (as a representation) is greater or more complete then just any other thing because of the multitude of senses and intelligence he/she posseses. this is why human existance is ultimatly the saddest: it is to a greater degree the representation of will (which is a singular, not a plural) and can so mimic will to a greater degree - in essence remaining fundamentally unfulfilled. as far as i understand, it was nietzsche who talked about the will being particular to each being.
If you're going to come with "you're reading [philosopher] wrong," I'm already going to be leaning against you pretty hard, but then it seems like your comment only barely touches on this video (a video which only barely touches on Schopenhauer, and instead is more in the Bogost/Haraway area).
So: What are you trying to get at?
Thanks for the comment response, Mike! Really enjoy watching your videos, y'all are great.
Shadowrun tee is a win!
Yeah as I mentioned in some of the discussion earlier, it's really more about trying to work with everything, rather than fighting against everything, that is the goal here. The more we can make reasonable guesses as to what the goals are for things (regardless of their structure and materials and function), the more successfully we can fit our own goals into the rest of the universe. Basically, it's really all about us learning the physics of not just simple, Newtonian-type systems, but ALL systems.
I agree completely that simplistic dualism is antagonistic and that whole system understanding is the way to go. The goal of all life is to reproduce and if the planet is a single organism 'Gaia' then we're the leading edge, that has the greatest chance of colonizing another world. That's the impetus towards developing AI, since the closest suitable planets are light years away we need a robot nanny to take care of the 'seed pod' that contains DNA and can withstand the high g of acceleration.

First: Shadowrun... Woo!
Second: Checked out Eclipse Phase?
Third: Off to go buy a fidget spinner... that looks amazing, thank you.
Fourth: Am I drawing a blank or have we completely walked around violence against the inanimate?
Oh no bro you got a boo boo on your hand!
Shadowrun!!! 🕴
Everything is interconnected by the spontaneous absorption and emission of light with the movement of positive and negative charge. Because this process is relative to the electron probability cloud that surrounds each atom the future is always uncertain with each photon electron interaction only occurs once forming the uncertainty of the ever changing world of our everyday life.
This is the first time I've actually seen someone use a fidget spinner. I'd seen them for sale before...
Well, considering that everything is just epiphenomena of intrinsic fields, you can safely say that everyone IS the same thing when you get right down to it. An electron on the other side of the universe is, for all intents and purposes, the exact same as an electron inside one of the atoms in your hand. The only true difference is locality and energy levels. Same goes for every other intrinsic field.
This is another reason I think adults should be aloud to have 1 or 2 teddy bears.

pls do a video on the cyberpunk revival and why you never deal with a dragon
These definition of objects are subjective. The interpretation of an arrangement of matter as a table in the first place relies on the social construct that define it as such. Even if we considered generalized objects formed by any arbitrary arrangements of fundamental particles in the Universe, we'd still be taking into account not things for what they really are (temporary field excitations in space-time), but for overly simplified abstractions (particle arrangements).
There is but one true way to actually truly understand objects for what they are, which is to understand the "Everything object", that is, the object defined by everything that exists (which must therefore encompass all space-time, future, present and past). While physicists still don't have a unified theory of everything, the task is pretty much impossible.

Woah. Deep.
No mention of Errant Signal? :(
I mean technically gravity never really becomes zero
what song is the background music reminding me of? i can't figure it out and it's driving me nuts
I don't think anyone is gonna read this, but isn't it awfully human-centric to say that the desire of objects or animals is DIFFERENT to the desire of humans? In other words, we aren't anthropomorphising the lamp when we say that it wants to be used but accepting that the human desire to act is matched by all objects, that that is not a "human" desire at all. Certainly Everything The Game lets the player inhabit and explore, so in that the desire of every thing is the same regardless of property (in that it's whatever you want to do).
That's a good point!
I agree, if we look at it from an angle that "objects/plants/... can't feel anything like we, humans, do", it seems very human-centric.
But there's another way of looking at it: we have no way of knowing for sure what desires an object has. So, saying "the lamp wants to be used" is forcing some emotions, thoughts, internal processes on a thing we know (basically) nothing about. We only know how to be humans, that's our only experience. In that sense, saying that our very narrow experience must be shared among all other things is seems human-centric as well, at least to me.
Right, I guess I'm adopting a cosmological principle-style idea that because we have no other evidence, we should assume our corner of the universe is representative of all areas. After all, didn't we establish that it's not that we are doing things, but that the universe is doing human, in the same way that water does a whirlpool? So, to avoid as much human bias as possible with the principle that anything humans can experience objects can experience too (in that any situation a human can be in so can that object).
I guess what differentiates animals from objects then is the assumption of senses, and that they are required to desire all things. Maybe some things can be desired without the requirement of senses, like ordered existence or an opposition to change.

Hello Golgari, excited for Amonkhet?

So what you're saying is you know way more then most of us college-educated viewers?
When I was a kid and a group of us kids was offered to choose between something like two types of juice, I would always choose the one no one else chose because I felt bad for it. I didn't want it to feel left out.

Samuel Roman the videos are a great watch but I am sure many people are like me and wait to watch them until they have the time to really focus on the content.
Samuel Roman additionally fewer people watch the comment response videos.
Music is basically the answer
A few simple principles that go up and down infinitely but aside from 'pitch' don't change
I only use music because it's the easiest facet of physics to understand
Its built into us
Otherwise, just for the sake of existing on the same membrane
But we aren't necessarily connected to other membranes so what do you mean by "'everything' is connected" ?
In any practical sense though, we're all totally separate and different and Im extremely thankful for that because I wouldn't really want to share my mind with most people
A hive mind only benefits those who can't cut it on their own...
To "appreciate" objects in your life, wouldn't it be easier to empathized with all the people/living things involved in creating that object? For instance your coffee cup most likely was made from the pulp of a pine tree growing in Canada's Boreal forest which was cut down by some men then driven by a truck driver to a paper mill where other people & machines crushed it, cooked it, and bleached it into heavy paper. Then it was most likely shipped on a boat captained by some more people to another factory where yet more people supervised machines cut and fold it into a cup shape and have a design (thought of by yet other people) printed on it then shipped again through a series of warehouses until finally reaching the coffee shop where another person poured a drink made from the seeds of a plant that was grown by farmers in the tropics, with some milk from dairy farmers in the mid-west and served it to you. It took the work of hundreds-thousands of people for you to get that coffee cup.
What about David Hume and his epistemology, where he suggests that ideas comes from experience and feeling. He suggested that Things and animals have feelings, that humans can't feel and experience in the same way, as they can. Like a blind man that can't use his eyes. I find this very interesting.
I dunno how to write it but I always rationalise this particular conundum in my brain something like this:
Id there is a God above this world, then I try to not imagine why they don't interfere with the pain here; but what pains they must deal with on their level that prevents them from being fully compliant to the wants or needs of us here in this particular frame of life.
Or maybe that's just sympathy for The devil, I dunno yet I'm still working this one out.
Need help to understand these crazy videos...
Objects don't have experience nor desires !!
You need a brain or some structure that can give birth to "thoughts" in order to desire things !
What is your weird little fidget spinner and where can I get one?
can you make a video together with nerdwriter?
