They're unintentionally creating iconic imagery.

No, but i never imagined the internet would become so centralized to a few websites. When the net was in it's golden age, we had multiple websites and participated in diverse forums based on specific interests.

Then the Iphone was created and the average idiot started influencing the trajectory

Absolutely. But i do think this is one of the few times where the show stands up to the books due to the authors also being the show runners and having input on the changes.

Characters in the show such as Amos, Camina Drummer, Bobbie Draper and the actors that portrayed them were amazing.

The expanse is an amazing show. Great characters.

Definitely hard sci-fi in comparison to other series. No FTL travel or communication. No lasers and shields. And gravity is actually a thing.

People really underestimate how much most sci-fi depends on ignoring the effects of gravity.

Problem is, there never was a global order.

Yup. They all watched the original, but missed the sequel.

All week malls and restaurants were packed even during business hours. People seem to be doing better than ever. How is it that there's such a delusional rift between how people are actually doing and how they perceive themselves as doing?

Fluid dynamics is emergent and so is consciousness. It's how we use language to describe a heuristic process.

Consciousness is a word we use to describe a process of a complex arrangement of particles that we identify as the brain and has no barring on the fundamental nature of reality.

Constants of nature could also very well be determined by more fundamental laws.

Life being a goal is nonsensical as it puts limitations on what a god can or cannot do based on the laws of nature.

At that point a god is no different than a technologically advanced alien

The fact that the physical constants allow for complexity is very strong evidence against theism. Complexity is only necessary for consciousness under naturalism; under theism, God could associate life and consciousness with anything at all.

My feed is a lot better here. Less bots and Russian troll farms.

The more people take control of their profile and post more here than on X, the more likely the imposters will be easier to identify.

You also have 100 imposters under your X posts anyway trying to sell me on one scam or another

Thanks for not blocking. I still want to have fun on social media, just not be surrounded by Russian troll farms, bots and people suffering from brain worms.

I love to troll a little bit but also don't want this platform to become xitter. It's tough to hold myself back sometime hehe

Is time emergent or fundamental?

Many believe it's emergent, but i respect Lee Smolin who argues for time being fundamental.

He invokes Leibniz's, "The identity of indiscernibles"
It seems interesting in that the wave function, a vector in Hilbert space, requires time to evolve.

Thoughts?

No way, let Elon waste his money on it for the memes. We have better things to move onto

Elon was suppressing accounts that were providing real information if it went against his own personal narrative

Why do you need a Patreon when you make millions off your garbage movies? ^.-

There has never been a Conspiracy Theory that has been proven correct.
There is a HUGE difference between a conspiracy, and a Conspiracy Theory.
Every conspiracy that theorists claim, after the fact, are ones that were already exposed before any cook theorized about it.
