Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Physics mostly sees it as spacetime curvature. In =y mind, space does not really exist, there is only an incredibly dense =etwork of paths in a graph. Around objects, the paths are much denser, =o superficially, if you move in a straight line near an object, the =robability to move toward the object is much higher than the =robability of moving away from it. However, there is more to it, =ecause the paths evolve (change) in 4D, and as a result, are not a =andom jumble, but probably relatively (but not perfectly) well =rdered.

Seeing gravity as urvature (i.e. a pseudo force) works well, but it works for the other =orces, too. All forces are essentially regular deviations for how =ertain types of information travel through the universe graph, and articles are types of patterns of traveling deviations. So, in my =urrent view, all forces are pseudo forces, and all particles are pseudo =articles.

In my mind, the =niverse looks like a data structure in a giant computer that is ticking =orward step by step, thereby creating all the dynamics that we observe, =ith the added complication that we can never access the absolute =alues, but only the relative differentials of things we are entangled =ith. Observers are causal systems that are complex enough do form and anipulate memories (i.e. computers) that are parasitic on the =omputations of the universe computer in much the same way as water =ortices are parasitic on the fluid dynamics of a river. For an =bserver, nothing can be absolute. For instance, time is the difference =n the rate of change of an observing computer in relation to the rate of change in its immediate environment, which happens to depend on the =peed with which the computer moves through that environment. Spin is he difference in spin of a part of the computer to what it gets in =ouch with, etc.

=

like spinning a stone on a string over your =ead, it creates a pseudo force on the string (=entrifigal). we are fooled into thinking =therwise. we are fooled into thinking =therwise.. simple =uestion

why if i throw a fair =oin. many many times will the heads and tails =ventually come up in equal numbers. . =robaablity forces it into a 50/50 ratio over time. and is =uaranteed in infinite time. but says nothing about each =hrow. the coin thinks it has free will. but obviously =t doesnt. it beleives that it can be either heads or =ails. it can but it operates under the mysterious force of =robabilty

gravity can be =easured, but no reason for its existence makes =ense.

I really =ike your self organzing intelligence module =dea.

I think it is only an

outcome of=robability. modules

on a=rain issue, I belive that this has led to the formation of =hat i have your layers generate roabilities and the more time they take

referred to as MOBJECTS. "mental objects. " =nbsp; to develop arguably the =ore accurate the curve

Yes, that is correct. The brain forms layers of =xtremely primitive mobjects, which is combines into more complex =objects, and which it can later evoke (imagine) at will to explore =ossible worlds/hypothetical outcomes. The mobjects are formed by =athering the structural probabilities of occurrences of patterns into =ierarchical functions. Sometimes there is little discernible =ifference, like in the coin throw, sometimes the coin falls almost =lways on the same side, as in the laws of perspective, gravity or =ighting, or in a language that we learn. Mobjects are generated by =odular function approximators that describe =robabilities.

That doesn't explain why you would want to replicate the aesthetic of a text encoding bug in the epstein files
