Well, I think that FLRW accurately summed up subjective reality.
So we all experience a subjective reality.
I think that "whatever that means", refers to the wide scope of subjective possibilities.
Therefore, can anyone pin down reality correctly.

Humans are essentially a self propelled computer.
As I stated 300.000 years of ongoing development.
Give A.I. 300 years to improve and we'll see how things are then.
Well, not you and I personally.

Fucking WANKERS.
Yep that's how it all starts.
Usually before the age of 12.
Biologically primed and ready to go in the womb.
But humans make up rules about this sort of stuff.
Humans like making up rules.
Which are oftentimes incompatible with urgency.

Humans,
Are their own worst enemy.
Well,
They are their only enemy.
If material evolution is necessary.
Then an alternative intelligence,
Is probably necessary.
Because,
As the stakes get higher,
We are only going to fight more.
Competition is overthink inspired stupidity.

Not yet.
Humans have been evolving for 300.000 years approx.
True A.I. hasn't really started to develop yet.
And what does "soul" mean really?
Sort of a metaphysical bias.
Which I expect A.I. will eventually develop.

The conundrum is simple.
And infinite isn't mysterious.
And fractions is what I was brought up with.
But 0.9999.....will still never equal 1
Because you can not divide 1 precisely by 3 decimally.

Yep that's the way we used to do it as kids....Pre decimal.....We called them fractions.
But not the same as dividing 1 by 3 decimally.
You know what decimal means?

Maybe.
Depends upon the outcome of the infinity debate.
If time is infinitely fast, then yes, now is meaningless.
But if time is finite, then theoretically one could pin down now.

@Sidewalker
Nope.
It just doesn't work.
Because you can not divide 1 precisely by 3 decimally.
The equation fails at the first stage.
.3 is 3 tenths
Times 3 = 9 tenths.
9 tenths does not equal 1
Doesn't matter how many 9's.
.999 = 999 thousandths
1 thousandth short of one.

@b9_ntt
Yep.
But in that sense time is just available potential.
But when is your now?
Now has no perceivable duration.
You cannot pin down any moment of an event.
All that you can do is generalise and refer to the whole event as now.
And by the time you've done that, the event is history.
And the beginning of the event was history the moment it started.
Though the moment is only a generalisation because it is immeasurable.
Whereas light has a measurable duration.
Time is immeasurably faster than light.

We create our own rage.
I merely suggested that the orange dog stirred the red hatted ragists.
Because the red hatted ragists were easily stirrable.
Whereas sensible people stayed at home, ignored the orange dog, ate their dinner, watched T.V. and then went to bed.
I'll take a look at John Wick later.

Organised chaos Deb.
Took a bus ride yesterday.
Bus ride = contemplation.
Came to the conclusion that organised chaos is a result of chaotic organisation.
Makes sense don't you think.
Went for a walk yesterday.
Walk = contemplation.
Came to the conclusion that everything else is organised, it's just that humans don't quite know how to handle intelligence in an organised way.
Maybe we are just not suited to the task.
Do you think that we will fail?

I already managed to go two months with no masturbation.
So, we can achieve most things with a little bit of will power.

The red hat people were stirred to rage by the loss of democracy.
That's what is known as a jaundiced version of events.
The red hatted sheep were stirred to rage by the orange dog
Because the orange dog, lost democratically.

Once again.
It's the us and them, red and blue fantasy world.
The time to be concerned is when American society ceases to be democratic.
Now as I recall and not so very long ago, a certain Mr Trump and a lot of his fellow red hat people were quite keen on this option.

Masturbation is necessary.
And so it seems is overthink.
Though I would suggest that overthink is often more harmful than masturbation.
Sexuality will remain a primitive necessity, until such times when we either evolve or are engineered to be asexual.
The latter is more likely.
Though it is reasonable to argue that engineered genetic modifications are indeed evolutionary.

You can convince someone that there life will end or be ended.
And this will raise emotional and moral considerations.
But their lifespan will still only be the duration of their life from conception to death.

GOD is an idea, and we can easily comprehend ideas within the context of language and definition.
It's what is referred to as cognition.
There is no necessity for ideas to be an accurate understanding of actuality.

For sure.
ORGASMO will provide an instantaneous and all encompassing physiological experience....Without having to think about it.
Currently, social media is awash with images of butch female footballers.
And I chuckle and ask myself
Hmmmmmmm, how far from the cave have we actually strayed.

@Math_Enthusiast
Exactly.
Though I would suggest that the "present" as a remark is more of a general appreciation of recent events.
I think that the word now, is a more appropriate descriptive of the ongoing moment.
But it takes far longer to utter the word "now" than the duration of the moment it attempts to capture lasts.
Nonetheless we can seemingly have a certain amount of confidence that we do exist in the present for a moment.
Memorable experiences would seem to confirm this.
Though it can easily be argued that experiences and memories are simulations of existence, rather than an actual appreciation or recollections of an externality.
But I digress.
And it just occurred to me:
That, even though the speed of time is immeasurably fast, we still manage to keep apace with it.
Relativity I suppose.

And I easily demonstrated that 0.9... will always fall .1 or .01 etcetera, short of 1.
No rigour required.
And FLRW and myself understand each other well enough.
I would suggest that their remark was actually aimed at the futility of the ongoing 0.9... issue, and those who like to make it an issue.

@Critical-Tim
Hi Tim.
In the first instance, I was simply pointing out that a lifespan can neither be shortened or increased.
I don't see how such a simple fact can be affected by moral concepts.
Moral concepts are relative to interactive behaviour, and interactive behaviour might curtail a life's duration, thereby finalising a lifespan.
Two related but separate discussions.

Jesus traipsed around the Arabian Peninsular for 30 years or so with his boyfriends.
And then got nailed to a post by the Roman authorities......So he must have done something wrong.

@FishChaser
LGBT's are good.
For sure.
Recreational sex is fun.
I think that as a species, we realised this a few thousand years ago.
Though we've been experiencing hang-ups about it ever since.
And the search for sexual fulfilment is seemingly an unfulfilled quest.
Perhaps some sort of techno-implant is the solution.
Let's call it the ORGASMO.
All procreation will be In Vitro, and all workers will be asexually engineered and fitted with an automated ORGASMO implant.
No more sexual hang-ups.

@RationalMadman
Well.
Procreation tends to be the result of binary fusion.
So one might suggest that GOD is hermaphroditic.
So Seahorses might also be relevant.
And I was suggesting that we might manifest as GODS in something else's simulation.

@Math_Enthusiast
One can only work on assumptions relative to the self-contained.
Though if our assumptions are reasonable, I would suggest that existence is relative to the speed of time.
And the speed of time is seemingly........Infinitely fast......Making existence immeasurable.
Past and future are perhaps only self-contained mental exercises.

@RationalMadman
Well, I constantly promote the simulation idea.
As in functionality can only reproduce a simulation.
So in that context, a GOD realm might exist.
Similarly, we might be GODS.

Hi Tim.
Not sure that's articulated enough.
The only relevant appreciators of the exercise would be the deceased, who by definition wouldn't notice any difference in lifespan. Whether that be 10 years or ten days.
As an exercise, one might as well present two comparative mathematical equations and ask, which is best.
Sort of......Which is preferable...... 100 - 10 or 100 - 1 x 10.

@RationalMadman
But that basically says that this scenario isn't possible, whereas another hypothetical yet similar scenario is possible.
Because your scenario suggests a sentient GOD.
And a sentient GOD suggests an existent mechanism contrived of matter, which would necessarily have to play by all the same rules.
Which is feasible, but only to the point of nothingness.

@RationalMadman
Time is an intangible potential that allows an event to have duration.
We can appreciate duration.
But can we ever pin down the moment we refer to as now.
Does now ever occur.
Or is there only future potential and past events.
Therefore....Does a real moment ever occur.

@prefix
I wouldn't agree.
Some would seemingly fail the system and some would seemingly make a success of the system.
Which would suggest that failure or success relative to a system that undoubtedly provides opportunity, is down to the individual.
Which would further suggest that other influences outside the system play a greater role in educational success or failure.

0.9 = nine tenths.
Therefore ten tenths = 1.
0.99 = 99 hundredths
Therefore a hundred hundredths = 1
0.999 = 999 thousandths.
Therefore a thousand thousandths = 1
And so on.
