Theories on everything

[AlexHallsEyebrow]

Theories on life, reality, society etc.

Crazy ideas

Examples

Time is only relevant to those who acknowledge it

Does an object exist if you don’t observe it?

If a tree falls in the woods and no one observes it did it really fall. Does observation change the outcome of something.

Can a society only progress so far until it destroys itself? And what does that look like?

 

[ASSholebomber22]

Time is a factor of entropy and exists independent if you acknowledge it. Observations absolutely effect outcome i.e. Schrodinger's cat. The other questions are a matter of what is consciousness, that I have no idea.

 

[theabortionator]

If a tree falls in the woods and noone is there to jib it, is it even core? Or is a bitch ass tree that got what it deserved?

 

[elcheapo]

What if Santa is real

but nobody is good enough ti receive presents

Is culture something created by people or something imposed on people?

Do genres create themselves through their defined frames? Was Harry Potter actually a creative piece of fiction or the predicted product of a genre?

Do dogs know they're dogs?

Are our identities actually a product of ourselves?

Do crayfish have feelings?

What makes someone a skier? or a writer? or a philosopher?

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

I think culture is created by the people

The genre one is very interesting and I have no answer for it.

I think the dog one can go for any species on earth, how do we know we’re humans, but it’s hard to say because dogs aren’t educated therefore they don’t know what a dog or a or a tree really is, they may know it as something but it’s not in the way we call a tree a tree. And it can go for anything it might just not be in the way we have labeled it as.

I think identities are both created by ourselves, I identify as a skier, guitarist, I think I’m funny etc. but people also perceive you differently, someone may believe your something when your not…. This doesn’t really pertain to the question but.

Do crayfish have a nervous system, if so they’d have feelings in terms of physical feelings, emotions idk

I think time makes someone something, if you have studied for years written books etc I think you can label your what you have studied. So I think time allows you to label yourself as certain things.

Do you wear arsenic, jiberish or any other park specific brands because as a member of the culture you feel obligated?

take some time to percolate on the genre one.

Do you think dogs understand what the concept of a “dog” is? Through time and evolution aren’t they well used to the role of a “dog”?

What about the factors that form your identity like environment, pop culture, music, community, ect? Where does your identity exist between yourself and those factors?

So teaching a crayfish to love is a maybe?

But you ski, write posts on here often, and are practicing philosophy right now. Doesn’t that maker you a writer, skier, and philosopher?

What if inside every atom was another universe

 

[ASSholebomber22]

What if inside every atom was another universe

I heard on some podcast that if we came from a singularity during the big bang, that every single black hole could be the singularity to another universe, meaning the universe could be reproducing similar to how plants and animals combine to reproduce. I'm sure I butchered it but it honestly blew my mind a bit

Crazy stuff the universe is and I hear the universe isn't infinite so what's beyond the universe the spirit world? Mind trippin

I’m not super in the headspace anymore rn but that last one on writing skiing and philosophy blew my mind, I will respond on the rest when I can think clearly lol

I do wear a few park specific brands but I overall dress in XXL because that’s “the norm” in park skiing, I don’t feel obligated but I do it because that’s the style I like.

I do believe dogs do know the “role” of a dog but they don’t necessarily know they are a dog in our terms, we think of a dog as a companion that gives us affection, does stufff with us etc, but in the technical terms they don’t know they are a dog, they know what we want out of them, but that’s just them as a being. They don’t label themselves as a dog because dogs haven’t been educated.

For identity and pop culture, everyone’s identity is based around pop culture, obviously you can label yourself as funny, caring, smart etc. but I’m still a bit confused on this question.

I’m down to make crayfish feel love

Answered this question earlier but goddamn that genuinely blew my mind, but I think people who label themselves as a philosopher or writer, have done those things for a prolonged period of time, and have been educated or have alot of knowledge in that “field of work”

 

[SWRTOFFICIAL]

alternate/higher/lower dimensions exist and the most reliable way to visit them is to consume psychedelic drugs

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

I’ve thought about this a lot in regards to society. I’ve come to the conclusion that I, personally, wear stuff to symbolize I am a part of the community and it is an interest of mine. I wear it as an indicator of this in the hopes of meeting other likeminded people.

You keep saying time and experience give someone the authority to classify themselves as something. There’s plenty of writers who have written for years and suck, there’s philosophers who have poured their personal life experience into their theory, and still no one listens to them.

you can be a “casual writer” or a “bad skier” but aren’t you still a writer or a skier?

You seem to define members of these fields through the top crust of them.

“I think, therefore I am” is one of the most famous pieces of philosophy to survive time. It is the first step to demonstrating the ability to learn or do something.

my question is do YOU define your identity or do you let others define what you are and are not?

I’ve thought about this a lot in regards to society. I’ve come to the conclusion that I, personally, wear stuff to symbolize I am a part of the community and it is an interest of mine. I wear it as an indicator of this in the hopes of meeting other likeminded people.

Would you wear the same clothing if you were a racer? Or an all mountain skier?

Surely the culture you feel drawn to shapes you to an extent. If your personal values drew you to park skiing and then you dress like a park skier are you still conforming to “their” standards? As a new park skier did you think you needed to do to certain things to be classified as a member of the community?

 

[BradFiAusNzCoCa]

I am an all mountain skier and a park skier. I don’t dress 100% like a park skier. If I were a racer, it would depend. Many racers, particularly young, ski park too.

I don’t allow park skiing to define me but I do incorporate it to symbolize to others, as stated.

But yeah, I get your questions are theoretical to go down the wormhole.

I feel that. And hehe yeah its fun to dig deep on some stuff, I took a class last year that studied theory framed alongside literature, society and culture which was super fun. I wrote a paper about what we're talking about right now last semester using the French Structuralism/British Marxism binary of "is culture imposed on society or created by society?".

The conclusion I came to was that our own personal values and the values of the communities/cultures we're apart of both shape our identity, but our "true" identity exists in a space between those two forces. Like how two magnets can't fully touch, the two sets of values can both influence us a lot but we need both to create the space in the middle where our true identity can exist. I used a lot of colonialism history in my research since many native peoples have had to create new identities made up of their local values and the values of their controlling country forces on them.

But yeah TLDR:// Theory is a wormhole but I love talking about it lol, your guys responses in this thread have been fun!

Yes^ If what your saying in that you can just define yourself even if you “suck” at it then yes, even a writer who gets no attention but have been writing for years can still define themselves as a writer. That’s exactly what you just said but, you said “ philosophers who have poured their personal life experience into their theory, and still no one listens to them”. Just because no one listens to them doesn’t mean there not a writer. In my understanding is that you believe that anyone can classify themselves as anything they want ex. Writer, philosopher.

I define my own identity, don’t let others define who, or what I am.

No if I was an all mountain skier I wouldn’t be wearing xxl track pants. As a new park skier I somewhat did stuff to fit in. Definitely changed how I dressed. I didn’t think that that would ultimately put me into the scene or make me a actual member of the community, I used think being a good skier made you an actual part of the community, I didn’t really go over the top because I didn’t want to be a poser but I started to understand people don’t care etc. but overall the culture shaped me to be the skier i am today.

It’s very hard to write this down and not be able to elaborate in the way my mind is working.

It is a fun topic. I took a philosophy class yearsssss ago and it was kinda fun to watch people get huffy and puffy and irritated. I was always thinking “don’t you GET it?! There is no end. Stop trying to give a satisfactory answer!” Haha

It’s really challenging to many people because it confronts ideas that they’ve taken as fact. When we realize we’re more easily influenced than we think and we’re essentially running on software programming - it challenges one’s identity to the core. I like all these crazy theories and ideas. I especially like the theories of alternate universes and time interweaving. I do believe that there are multiple universes running adjacent to each other at the same time. I, also, like the idea that time isn’t linear and that ghosts are viewed through a hole in time and we’re viewing them while they’re alive, unbeknownst to them.

If we had a super advanced self-learning AI whose goal was to mimic humans, would it ever develop consciousness? Or would it develop the ability to appear conscious? What is consciousness??

I love this stuff, recently been getting into it a lot, I like hearing other peoples stuff and not trying to give input to them but to rather just listen to them and blow my mind. Trying to argue or debate really is pointless, you can’t give an concrete answer. But I do like to pick people apart to understand why their sayings something, and to see where their coming from, I also like it when people challenge me, because I know I will answer not knowing fully on what I say because I get ahead of myself, so I like it when people challenge me to then elaborate and learn more when I try to explain.

 

[iH8pow]

I always thought that made way too much sense. Like—ok the universe somehow *mysteriously* came from a singular point, and black holes consolidate all this matter into a singular point. Answer always seemed common sense right in front of our eyes. Black holes probably have ate up way more than just parts of our galaxy

I heard on some podcast that if we came from a singularity during the big bang, that every single black hole could be the singularity to another universe, meaning the universe could be reproducing similar to how plants and animals combine to reproduce.
