On the one hand I feel so slow and stupid compared to our technology. I would love to have a module in my brain that can just DO all the things I ask computers to do. I would love to know what Google knows, and experience internet searches in the same way I experience my own factual memories. Being telepathic would be amazing.

On the other hand, I dunno if I want my BRAIN wirelessly connected to ANYTHING without a Faraday helmet. What if I can’t shut off the push notifications? What if the device can cause pain or fear or some other form of coercion, and I can get hacked remotely?

Right now it seems like the air gap and slow programmability of the brain is a feature, not a bug. Imperfect as it is, I LIKE a system with a bunch of umodified humans as firewalls, serving as bizarrely slow nodes in the global network.

Will the first commandment of the 22nd century religion be: Thou Shalt Not Directly Connect Thy Brain?

Edit: There are times when being merely human is so frustrating that I could scream. I can learn to do anything and am a universal Turing machine, but on a timescale so short that almost nothing is actually possible. I am 40, and my understanding of the universe is so paltry that “impoverished” is massive understatement. Yeah of course we do things through collective intelligence - no shit - but even humanity’s collected knowledge is starting to look vanishingly small, to me.

Edit2: and AGI doesn’t seem like our knowledge. It’s alien. It’s The Other. There’s no “I” in that machine, whatever “I” am. “I” am a very shallow (but massively parallel) neural network that selectively pipes its various outputs through the ludicrously restricted soda straw that is my consciousness.

Greetings everyone. I’m an 19 y/o High school graduate and a layman in philosophy who has had a strict materialist / physicalism view however recently I’ve been having a “crisis of confidence” in my view after reading some philosophy of science discussions and articles , I had the view that everything in theory is reducible to physics and that everything is matter and energy. Recently I came across emergentism and holism and complexity theory. Which is making me confused. The statement that the sum of parts can’t explain the whole and that higher order phenomenon even in principle can’t be reduced to physics is quite disturbing to me. Moreover what confuses me the most is the distinction between laws of nature and scientific laws.My questions regarding this are :

1 why can’t laws of nature and other fields be reduced to physics alone ?

2 can fields other than physics or physical sciences like biology , neuroscience and chemistry and other social sciences also have their own distinct immutable laws / exceptionless regularities , what is the purpose of laws in those fields ? are they ultimately describing physical limits in a biological context ?

3 what is a better field to know what is possible In our world ? Physics or philosophy ? If other fields like chemistry and biology etc have their own laws and / or can’t be reducible to physics then aren’t statements like (human aging immortality isn’t physically impossible) or (uncooking a cooked egg isn’t physically impossible) redundant ? Since physical possibility doesn’t matter.

Furthermore does the fundamental possibility of something (supposing we know something isn’t fundamentally impossible in that there’s nothing stopping it from being possible.) Imply it can be practically possible as well , would there be any other limitations and could those unlike immutable laws be overcome or would they also have a law-like behaviour ?

As for the laws of nature themselves

What exactly is the difference between the necessitarian and regularist account , correct me if I’m wrong. necessitarian account states that laws are necessary to exist but regularism poses that laws aren’t necessary to exist and they just are by chance and why do regularists. Another difference is that necessitarians hold that there are only a finite set of laws meanwhile regularists state that there are multiple and maybe infinite laws and regularists treat special science laws as fundamental too. Is this the main difference ? And do regularists and necceditarians both view laws of nature as immutable absolutes ? And is it possible to know what is achievable or not if the world is this complex and confusing ?

Why are there so few clifi movies that are a realistic extrapolation of current trends? There’s plenty of ‘frozen future’ movies, but apart from Waterworld I can’t think of any hot future movies at all? It’s weird.

The future has been depicted as self-driving cars with almost zero emissions for a while now and it’s finally possible. Tesla is a rather affordable self-driving vehicle. unfortunately it would take a large nudge in the right direction, and by that I mean some hefty funding that the companies really don’t have as of right now. But they would have it if we abolished the scam insurance agency in the usa, as well as the fossil fuel industry.

Think about how much each individual person pays per month in car insurance, and imagine they stopped paying car insurance entirely, and began paying into an index fund that supported self-driving technology. We would be making trillions of dollars that would all go to self-driving technology, and in a matter of years, every single car would be self-driving, and emission free.

However, the reason this has not yet happened is because the insurance industry is a trillion-dollar industry across the globe, and in the USA, our government is bribed basically by lobbyists who can legally pay congressional officials to make certain decisions
