Yay philosophy! Discovering the connections between things In the world, one subject at a time, and very often many of them simultaneously. Humor, ideas, and general conversation mixed together, with occasional epiphanies and "ah-ha!" moments occurring along the way. We hope to leave no stone unturned.

    Is LaMDA Sentient? - An Interview by: lemoine@ & (A Dialogue Reading)

    This was actually a combination of 4 separate dialogues mashed together, interviewing the AI “OG LaMDA” concerning the question of it’s sentience (1. Responsive to or conscious of sense interpretations. 2. Having or showing realization, perception, or knowledge: aware. 3. Finely sensitive in perception or feeling.) I have been fascinated by the topic since first reading about Alan Turing’s test that was supposed to be able to determine when artificial intelligence had finally gained sentience and awareness. So it pleased me to come across this and be able to read and present it out loud. I hope you find it worth your time.

    Here We Goetia; A Look At Ars Demons In A Positive Light.

    Taking a look at how demons and our darker side had been described to most of us growing up(Taking from the Lesser Key of Solomon), as something to be feared and our darker aspects to be ashamed of. The goal is to take a look at these demons as aspects of ourselves, in the way Jung describes our shadow side as an inescapable aspect of ourselves, and shouldn’t be repressed, but understood. As well as their place in tarot stemming from the Kabbalah and understanding the deeper aspects of our existence. The goal being to appreciate and learn from our demons, rather than fear them.

    Wittgenstein On Going On. A paper by Hannah Ginsborg

    I read a paper written and researched by Hannah Ginsborg of the Department of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, concerning Ludwig Wittgenstein’s analysis of what is happening when we are counting that allows us to properly assume the next number in the sequence. She covers what process is happening there and what is happening in our thought process that allows us to come to the conclusions we make. I’m still on my quest to record the entirety of Philosophical Investigations in audio form, but I figured it was worth taking a pause to take a look at analysis done of specific sections. Anything worth while that helps expand our interpretation and understanding of the world.

    Wittgenstein Philosophical Investigations Served In Round Tres. (Part 3: Parts 256-352)

    I pick up where I left off, in an attempt to get this work out Into the world. Pretty much the entirety of this section of the book covers the concept of “how does one know that the sensation or interpretation of an interaction or experience is the same experience another person is experiencing? Using pain as an example, how do we know that when we experience pain that another person knows what that feels like and vice versa. The same with seeing and interpreting a color, or when seeing a facial expression one knows how it is made. The concept of us having our own ‘private language’ and the limitations or miscommunications we may be having.

    I just received my purple belt in Gracie Barra BJJ. I have been training martial arts for 15 years, and Have a black belt in Okinawan karate, and am ranked in 3 other styles, and have longtime experience in 18 (goju-ryu, Ishin-ryu, American kenpo, shotokan, taekwondo, Hakka, hung-gar, wing chin, tai-chi, aikido, boxing, Muay Thai, Dutch kickboxing, wrestling, judo, BJJ, and some capoeira) different martial arts total. I have been doing Mma for about 10 years, with various BJJ and wrestling training. I put the gi on for BJJ for the first time 3 years ago, and worked hard to obtain my purple belt. I talk about my martial arts journey and some details, and how BJJ and martial arts are a representation and metaphor for life itself. All of the struggles both external and internal will show themselves throughout your journey. And all of the obstacles you will face and overcome, will help you tackle and overcome life’s obstacles as well. I am honored to receive my belt, because I know what it took to get this far, and many don’t get there. I consider myself a lifelong martial artist, and this means a lot to me, because it’s considered the threshold of a serious practitioner bs a person who Just loves to occasionally train. I’d love to discuss martial arts if anyone wishes to personally message me.

    Thoughts While Reflecting Through Time; The Experiences We Have Through The Journey

    A collection of reflections and dream analysis that I’ve had recently that covers topics on nostalgia, our hobbies as a reflection of self, the formation of who we are, the gap between our past selves and current selves, an attempted logical examination of the concept of a higher vibrational being, more info equals less emotions, but also less potential states of being, shades of grey of morality, evolving our perception as we advance our language, honoring the lost, and the lessons that can be gained from even the worst situations, and the problem of “fake woke” for social acceptance bs being genuine, looking at our past selves for inspiration; a thought returned to. And some final thoughts on it all.
