I like listening to non-mainstream music for different perspectives. I wonder what Cristopher Langan thinks of the IS/OUGHT issue with his atemporal non-dualistic protocomputational view of determinism/causality. I like the idea of getting rid of time… and/or multidimensional time… Also I’m a big fan of free will. Free will gives us a tool to fight totalitarian systems. We can choose not to partake in systems, for example modRNA injections and CBDC's. So we need to fight to maintain free will IMHO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBjmne9X1VQ John ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T772759d8ceb4b92c-M85774330f9c2a75525e1a0ff Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
