The funny thing about a physics engine is that you don’t need to make a UI visualization in order for the simulation to run. A 3D shape is just a bitstream. The difference between a brain and a computer is standardized de/serialization.

I’m also not that torn up about qualia. Like… Think about the evolution of the eye, from a light detecting node to a complex optical lens. Think about the data being collected, and how it must be stored in the brain. Kinda like building a 3D game engine.
Then add emotional associativity, and voila!

I feel like anti-physicalist arguments regarding the hard problem of consciousness really rely on the fact that people can “imagine” a p-zombie. But we don’t have evidence that a p-zombie is possible.

Didn’t expect someone to solve Beatrice’s epitaph by Chapter 3. I figured that would be a huge endgame turnabout moment.

So is Virgilia the same person as Kumasawa? Or is Kumasawa a totally distinct human vessel? (Presupposing the inner logic of the magical world)

Umineko is about: epistemology, predicate logic, and the ways that patriarchy force women to hurt each other

The thing is, I don’t know if I should be theorizing a “materialist” explanation for the core mystery of Umineko.

Battler-kun, you simpleton, haven’t you heard of Bayesian epistemology?

So does Battler ever actually solve these locked room puzzles, or does he just scream “it’s useless!” and hit the Phoenix Wright pose over and over?

We’ve spent millennia domesticating dogs for three primary reasons:
1) Roomba for potato chips specifically
2) Cheetos dust napkin
3) Companionship or whatever

The Grinch almost-not-really ruined ONE Whoville Christmas. Whereas Scrooge abused his workers and the public every day for decades. And yet, culturally, we are more willing to accept Scrooge’s redemption arc. Pretty privilege, perhaps? 🤔

Tumblr needs an option to hide posts without announcing they are hidden. The filtered content UI element is a temptress.
