Creation from everything is a very different beginning than a creation from nothing like the Big Bang. Imagine all possibilities simultaneously existed, because nothing is actually the noise of everything. Suddenly, one possibility emerges. The story starts in the middle.

Leibniz says this is the best possible world...but how can it be when someone tries to steal a ball from a duck at a baby changing station?
I have cognitive disengagement syndrome, so I actually have no idea when my book will be finished. However, I'm hoping this fact will contribute to my author story. Also, announcing it changes gives me a little eustress to prove myself wrong. Parallel reasoning.
@RandalRauser Hell is an English equivalent for the Greek Hades. In most places in the Bible, it refers to Sheole (a resting place in the OT), with an interesting parable of Lazarus where it is a place of judgement and redemption. Our modern concept of hell is quite different from either.
To reduce decoherence, scientists and engineers have frozen qubits down to fractions of a degree. This creates a philosophical problem if time relies on entropy and entanglement to work. Is history effectively erased? Could it be re-written? I think it is, but how far back?
@sam_director_ Using a pragmatic framework for truth on the tails of existential absurdism is kind of supposed to be "okay" to be incoherent/implausible/inconsistent. Do what you can with what works towards living your best life, and if you're wrong, whatever.

Leibniz says this is the best possible world...but how can it be when someone tries to steal a ball from a duck at a baby changing station?
@TheArthurAbbott Oh yeah the religions have it really sorted out lol
@TheArthurAbbott @CliffordSosis It's from a stance on the conscious state of sleep. 🤓 However, sleep has been extra difficult given the current state of ASI alignment work.
@TheArthurAbbott @TheOutsiderHum1 @sam_director_ I sort of have an affinity for fatalism meets nihilism, though maybe id use less weighted words. To say first of all that the process of nature not meant to accomplish a purpose, it's own being is self-sufficient without serving some other end
@TheArthurAbbott @TheOutsiderHum1 @sam_director_ Nature that exists eternally and without purpose, but who does have a nature, adherent to the law of its own nature, without resort to randomness or an admission to the existence of chaos
@TheArthurAbbott @TheOutsiderHum1 @sam_director_ And to put this in conjunction with the unfolding of the process of change, cause and effect, being deterministic. A presumably infinite casual chain, backwards and forwards, where one could just as well conceptualizing cause or effect necessitating their respective counterpart
@TheArthurAbbott @TheOutsiderHum1 @sam_director_ Oh ya, that all makes sense. I just didn't know if you were saying that to remove the linear arrow of time towards entropy would thereby rule out fatalism, since I am inclined to both fatalism and a back/forward symmetry in time
@TheArthurAbbott @sam_director_ I definitely don't know what to make of all that. Unfortunately I'm not likely to ever have time to learn.
@TheArthurAbbott @sam_director_ Yeah, definitely. This is the only moral and existential framework that I've found satisfying as a teleological and moral irrealist. The conceptions of love and meaning and significance that I've developed really pull it all together for me.
@TheArthurAbbott @sam_director_ It's kind of a very stripped down, naturalistic myth of what I am and how I work. It's not too rigid, so it can grow as I learn, but it's hard to imagine it being entirely replaced by something better.
@TheArthurAbbott @sam_director_ I pursue a subjective form of meaning because that's the only form I think there can be, and I pursue it through love because I think that's the only kind of non-arbitrary way to do it. I could be wrong but it's a direction that's it's important to me that I pursue.
@TheArthurAbbott @sam_director_ I'm not happy with nihilism as a word. People seem to use it to mean both believing that there are no objective values (me) and not valuing anything (not me!). Along with a confusing array of other things. I kind of think that I'm religious in a very low-key, eccentric way.
@TheArthurAbbott @sam_director_ Attempts to define morality independently of that fall into incoherence when questioned.
@TheArthurAbbott @sam_director_ I'm not sure what you mean by existential leanings. But my irrealism is pretty independent of everything else. It's very clear that moralities are standards that people create on the basis of what they care most about and believe they can achieve.
@sam_director_ I can care about things, or be for or against things, regardless of whether they are, or possibly could be, objectively right or wrong. There are other ways to carve out commitments. I use love and the meaning it gives to life, and also some dumb impulses.

Since there seems to be even more brain melting than usual in the replies, I’ll clarify that a) each of these views is widely defended in contemporary philosophy, b) I now reject each, & c) I’m not anti-philosophy, as evidenced by the fact that I’m now a professional philosopher.
