The idea behind that, Arminius, is that with the dissolution of natural states will follow the dissolution of states of mind, vis. consciousness.(self)
Now the end of history represents nationalistic wars ad infinitum, with regional jealousies, conflicts of sovereign power relating to those jealousies.At the present time, it has been realized, that the corruption of power is still within the realm of possibility, yet, conflict resolution is not within the context of the possession of weapons of mass destruction. Among those who hold to this view, the possibility of war under these circumstances is not preferable to a conventional age, where such distinctions could still be held in check.
Gorbachev and Reagan realized this; and the incalculable pain that would result. What say you to this form of argument? **

This makes sense, however the de-identification as a trend, as pointed out by French existentialists as early as the end of ww2, laid the existential foundations to de territorialization
Was the emergence of international corporations, free trade zones, quick access world communication the coexistent process, by which the thoughts of such previously discussed men as H.G. Wells & Co. could be accommodated and brought into fruition?If so, political fiat was just the de-jure imprimatur of those, who sought just such a program?

With proper use of technology, that isn't the issue that it used to be.
Actually the Greeks with their »city-states« and Moses with his regional Pharisees, had the right general idea, but lacked precision and required too many people. Technology resolved both of those concerns and allows for the freedom of the city-state method by using extremely small »cities«, SAM Corporations.
Jesus had everything right but didn't mention the issue of momentum (too much quite peace void of the necessary momentous harmony). The Catholics then compounded that concern by trying to establish single a world order, the »Holy Roman Empire« - went the wrong direction, just as the Globzis of today.
Man keeps trying to bring it ALL under one rule, not understanding that the only "supreme ruler" has to be Reality itself and that requires what we call "localized democracy and culture".

On the right side you see four layers as levels. Aristoteles thought of a fifth one, which he called Hyle. However. Except the Anorganic Things, each of that levels is relatively free and supported by the level / levels below - according to the positions. The more a level is up the more it is free, but no level is generally free, but relatively free. And the more a level is up the more it depends on the level / levels below. So Anorganic Things stem Biological Body, Psyche, and Geist (mind etc.). The Biological Body is more relatively free than the Anorganic Things, the Psyche is more relatively free than the Biological Body, and the Geist is more relatively free than the Psyche. When it comes to what the levels are by themselves, they do not depend on on any other level - exception: Anorganic Things, which depend on no level anyway.
So for example the Geist, which means the most relatively free level, does not depend on the other levels when it comes to that what the Geist is by itself. ** **

The i is what Descartes tries to ascertain. His starting point is doubting his very existence, and not the composition of it. How can he be sure he exists? That he thinks, is the only proof, since thinking includes all other sub groups ; thinking he is thinking , thinking he is perceiving and acting, moving. All manner of human endeavor is thinking. He can be sure of that.
Since existenze has been reduced to phenomena, the new motto is esse est percipii , or i exist, because i perceive. Phenomenology and thought has been disconnected, because of the vagaries and horrors of the last great world war. It is simply taking a new attitude,one in which the disconnect is asserted simply for reason being tangential and unverifiable.
If the thinking process would be reexamined in the context of 'consciousness' , definitionally, and reconnected to 'what is reasonable', a reexamination of the outright dismissal of the cogito, could be attempted definitionally. It is the dissection of thought from consciousness , which gives pause, and Descartes may reply, that he is victim of the change in the way Being is interpreted, definitionally.
Descartes has been re-considered in this way. **

We have the subject-object-dualism. In order to overcome the subject-object-dualism Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) established his existence-philosophical concept »In-der-Welt-Sein« (»To-be-in-the-World«) as an existential of human beings »Dasein«, as a human existence in the world (**). ** **
I think the subject/object dualism is one of the fundamental problems. Heidegger as the last great philosopher tried to overcome the problem with his »Existenz(ial)-Ontologie« (»existenc[e]ial ontology«), also called »Fundamentalontologie« (»fundamental ontology«), especially with his concept »In-der-Welt-Sein« (»To-Be-in-the-World«) as an existential of human beings' »Dasein«, as a human existence in the world. (**). I really don't know whether Heidegger succeeded in that case. Probably it is not possible to resolve that problem. ** **
I think that the subject/object dualism is one of the greatest philosophical problems - perhaps even the greatest.
How can we and especially each of us ever experience whether the subjective or the objective side is the truth?
What makes me sure that I and the experiences I make with myself really exist, or the world and the experiences I make with it »really« exist? And especially: Which of both sides is true, or are both true? Which? (1.) The subjective one? (2.) The objective one? (3.) Both?
Do I think, or does the world think in me, or are both sides true? Is the world my will and my representation / idea (cp. Arthur Schopenhauer, »Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung« [»The World as Will and Representation«], 1818), or merely nothing but my thoughts, or both? ** **
Nonetheless the overcome of the subject/object dualism is probably not possible. ** **
One or the human beings should solve the subject/object dualism, but one or they probably can not. One or they would have been able to overcome the subject/object dualism, if one or they had solved it before. That problem is not merely a philosophical one, but before it can be overcome in »social« or other ways it has to be solved in a philosophical way. Who of the philosophers is able to solve the subject/object dualism?
Here is the one, and there are the others, the world. ** **
You mean this post, right? If yes, I can say that I understand your post quite well, I do not really disagree with any point. The problem is the subject/object dualism itself. I or we human beings don't know whether that problem can be solved or not because each of us is part of that problem. ** **
Phlilosophemes or theories can be right or true without any solution of the subject/object problem because we human beings merely decide and say this or that is true/right or false/wrong, but we probably do not know what is true/right or false/wrong. That decisions always change, but also repeat or recapitulate somehow, and only sometimes there is a moment of more wisdom. Maybe that this moment of more wisdom (of some philosophers or other thinkers - of course) can resolve the problem of the subject/object dualism, but it is possible too that this moment of more wisdom also indicates that the problem of the subject/object dualism can probably not be resolved.
Please don't forget: We - the human beings - decide or say that this or that is true/right or false/wrong. And we believe in that - more or less. Ask some members of this forum, whether they really believe in logic or not. Most of them would say: »Yes, but ...«, and with their »but« they actually say »No(, but ...)« because they would rather believe in religious things, especially the so called »atheists«.
So there ist merely a small group of human beings who search for a solution for the problem of the subject/object dualism. And currently the average IQ of the human beings is declining. What does that mean? In any case: It also indicates that the most human beings do not want wisdom, but religion and other things which make them stupid. Or, in the orther case, they want wisdom, but are not wanted to want wisdom, but religion and other things which make them stupid.
But the greatest barrier is the human Geist itself. How can we really know that a subject is and that a object is without thinking that they are always different or even not existent? ** **
Everything we »know« is actually just a naming of things, that is what I say too. But we are talking about the problem of the subject/object dualism or dichotomy, and we know not very much about the solution of that problem, but we name it. I am not saying that we »can't even name it«. We should name it, we have to name it - that is what I am saying. If we say »what is, is undecidable«, we do not say »what is, is not nameable«. That's not the same. .... ** **
I am arguing that no one can ever know anything with absolute certainty, and because of the subject/object dualism as a problem which probably can not be solved, we can even not know with absolute certainty whether the subject(s) and object(s) exist or not and what they mean. But if we do not name them, we have no chance to come closer to any solution of all scientifical and philosophical problems.
And b.t.w.: If we do not name them, we would be no human beings anymore. ** **
Many people don't think very much, but if (if!) they really think that something exists, they do it in two different ways: (1) subjectively, so they think existence has merely to do with the thinking subject, and (2) objectively, so they think existence is something which has nothing to do with the thinking subject. Merely the second way is also the way to think that »waves of affectance come from the objects to affect«. If they think they »can perceive the objects«, they actually have to ask themselves, whether that objects »exist« without any subject or because of the »existence« of the perceiving subject, so that objects don't »exist«. I am speaking about the subject/object dualism. Is subjectivity or objectivity that what we call »reality« or is it both, so that there is no solution for the subject/object dualism? ** **
We can think the nothingness and the difference between subject and object. Is this difference the nothingness? Or is it even the »affectance«? Or both? Are they the same (see above) or at least similar? If so, then we can't know anything of them because it is the definition - the linguistic convention or the lingusitic laws - of the word nothing to be nothing at all, and the noun for that is nothingness.
You can't just brush aside our ability for thinking the nothingness and the subject/object dualism. ** **
I don't believe that but I also don't deny that it is possible. If someone believes that, I would not say that it is absolutely wrong to believe that. Remember that we are philophising, and the philosophy has not resolved the problem of the subject/object dualism. The science can't resolve it anyway, and I think the philosophy probably neither. ** **

When the Machines Take Over.
By Marc Blasband
The year 2100 will be in the midst of the age of the machine. If today we use machines everywhere for everything, then by 2100 they will go one step further: They will rule and decide. The goal of their society will be more and better machines, not more and better human lives, our objective today.
We see already now three seeds of this revolution:
1. Artificial intelligence (AI) advances slowly but steadily. With time, let us say 50 years, the machine will achieve understanding. It will then use all of Wikipedia (or its equivalent). It will command the entirety of human knowledge.
2. Today, more and more connections are built between machines. These connections, coupled with advances in AI, will form a very powerful network of understanding that will surpass by a thousand times the best that humans can offer.
3. We begin to build machines that behave without direct control by their human masters, like the rovers that we deploy on Mars.
When the machine understands independently, it will become conscious of its own existence and its own value. In the same way that we human are proud of our humanity (whether we include a god in the loop or not), they will be proud of their machinity.
On the other hand, earthly resources such as water, energy, and food will become so scare that violent wars between geopolitical giants will emerge before 2070. The doctrine of these wars will most probably be the same as todays: Sacrifice machines to protect human soldiers. This will clearly be unacceptable for the machines on all sides of the conflict, and it is predictable that together they will rebel and annihilate all the armies.
At that point, the machines will rule the earthnot by government, but by control and knowledge. The available resources will be reserved to develop more and better machines. Immortality will be one of their goals: They will be built or retrofitted to survive thousands of years. Our human dream to visit the stars will then become possible, but machines will make that journey, not humans.
For humans, these times will be harsh. People will die from all sorts of sicknesses that are cured today. Food will be scarce, energy unavailable, and comfort something of the past. Agriculture will use horses and oxen again instead of tractors. Alcohol and meat will be restricted because their production consumes too much resources.
Some people will lead a marginal life on grounds not needed by the economy. Others will serve the system in areas where the machines are not good at: creativity and imagination. The machines will indeed exploit human slaves for art and science.
In less than 30, years the human population will shrink from 9 billion to a mere 100 million souls - the world population at the time of Aristotle.

Arminius wrote:
»What could humans or machines do in order to prevent such a black hole?« ** **
There are many things that Man could do, but won't. Man cannot do what Man will not do. That is what makes his fate so certain.
What must be done is simply to distribute the wealth that is life such that the density can never reach a maximum. The separation must be maintained by natural means. In the past that has been done by land, language, culture, and ontology, the very things that Globalism seeks to unite and homogenize into a great glob. What keeps life safe and continuing is its disbursement. But even that has a balance. Rather than a great single particle, there must be very many autonomous particles merely networked together to share wisdom, not obedience. And to keep them separate, he must learn wisdom. The human body does not simply grow ever larger, but disperses into many relatively autonomous bodies that share their wisdom.
When a man finally learns of the exact make of life, he no longer seeks for ever more and more, but seeks only precise balance, never actually too much nor too little, yet carefully swaying between a little more and a little less so as to keep track of the varying limits. Having ten wives, a wise man would most probably give up eight and possibly all of them, but in the right way. Having millions of dollars, a wise man would give up most of it, and in the right way. But until he learns of the make of life, he hasn't any idea what to give up, how much, nor of the right way to give.
So homosapian would have to learn of the actual make of life and then very precisely distribute the wealth that is life accordingly, something that machines can be made capable of doing far more precisely than humans. Machines have a place with homosapian. Machines properly designed and used enhance life where ever they are. Humans properly taught enhance life where ever they are as well. Even animals recognize that in humans. There is no more to be gained than that.
But Man cannot do what Man will not do. **

Well, I don't know what you want to call them, but basically the continents (North America, Africa, Asia, Europe, ...) become the primary separation between centers (which I would call »nations«) with »provinces« within each. It is more like a polyparticle (»weak force« holding the empire together).
And SAM doesn't become a significant part of anything until the very end of the blind lusting. SAM IS the end of the blind lusting and the dissolution of the last empire. **

How much do you think the various Empires had to do with this - Roman, English and American come to mind. The last is a nation that came to be identified in practical rather than cultural terms. Any culture could function here as long as it respected the bureaucracies of the ever practical concept of nationhood. Just as anyone could become a roman and then in general any empire inevitably integrates, through various processes, those it colonizes. OH, yes and the US is also responsible for corporate personhood. That eliminated state control of corporations except to the extent that it could create them and does.
Of course nations are not innocent. I mean, they were often nationed via the royalty. Talk about BS. From there their histories were just more propaganda.
I am no globalist, but it seems to me we will have to deal with this, because the lies have to unravel and they were not going to internally. And by the way, I am not using 'have to' in moral terms. Though there is a hint of practical terms...we need to.
I am more of a tribalist so for me the nation builders were just early globalists working with the transportation and communications systems they had to determine their goals. I weep not for the death of nations, though I have concerns about what it will lead to.
Me I liked it back when the person who led well, got to lead the tribe and if people lost confidence, well there went the job. And there was a lot of discussion and organic decision making, with the leader almost a focal point and not a leader.
Governmentally, things have been going downhill from there. **
The biggest unproblematic units of populations will disappear, if the globalists will destroy them totally (and I'm sure that they will do that): nations. So what will be socially left after that destruction? (1) Emipres? Yes, but only one, namely a global or almost global empire because that is the goal of the globalist, and b.t.w.: it is mostly already reality. (2) Communal particles or SAM (Social Anentropic Molecule) Corporations? Perhaps. (3) A mix of empires and communal particles? Maybe, and if so, then in a more globalistic way. (4) Other social forms? With the untmost probability: No; but perhaps in the future, after the globalists will have disappered, and: if the machines will not have taken over. With the utmost probability all other social forms will not be possible anymore because they will have been destroyed totally then. ** **

Well, imagine that you teleported back in time to pre-Roman Empire days. You know what is going to take place, an empire is going to form. And you know that it is going to get nasty, corrupt, and fall. Are you just going to throw up your hands and say, "Oh well, nothing I can do about it" and roll over and die? Or are you going to prepare for it in the best way you can at the time? Take care of at least yourself?
You know that an empire is forming (actually already has). You know that it is going to be pretty nasty, far more than it is. And you can bet that it is going to fall. And since you know it is going to fall, why not prepare for what it is going to fall toward, SAM. **

I really love philosophy. I really like philosophy. It really matters little to make the distinction, because it has been so much watered down that i would not be totally out of line if I said i like god, but love my dog. And, if someone asked me why, I could say something as trivial as I love my dog because he understands me better then anyone else.
Then the retort to that, would follow, that God, understands You better than Your dog, can be countered with, yes but my dog barks when he understands. **

Don't confuse »Man« (Mankind as a whole) with »a man« nor with »every man«. Just because Man forms into an empire, doesn't mean that every single man is an imperialist.
If your goal is to alter Man, you have some extremely powerful competition who won't even let you know of their goals and will be very presumptuous about, and condemning of, yours. Altering Man is a monumental task, very unlikely to succeed or change hardly anything. Thus Man has a relatively fixed fate. But an individual man, having more influence over his own life, can alter his own fate through devoted decisions.
And then by someone, anyone, displaying the effectiveness of SAM when the time is finally right (whenever that is), Man as a whole will catch onto the idea sooner and if Man is in sufficient control of most men (being dictatorially imperialistic), the idea of SAM will very quickly become the fate of Man. **
The only question is whether Man will be made of homosapian-humans, transhuman-humans, cyborg-humans, or machine-humans at that time. **

You, Arminius, a good German, and me obe, a good hungarian, whatever, may understand that love what we call love be waaaaaaaaay different from what we think of it from how we feel about it. A lot of love, and i would not consider most of it., is projective, we want to believe we are loved to the same degree as we love, bur sorrily, late, too late we find out it is not so, and do gooders as we are supposed to be , and acting as we are supposed to, from ideal conceptions of love, we are stuck with responsibilities, which the GERMANS, or even EUROPEANS as a whole are very good at subscribing to. So , more often than not, we are left with lopsided definitions, feelings, but the good old Protestant ethic of do good, sticks, and we want to believe in love.
The same goes for religion, we go to church to impress our neighbors, friends, of our upright attitudes, and we intercourse our wives and lovers out of the need to satisfy per contractual responsibility. Then we hit the bier gartens with relish, relieved of having to justify ourselves. **

I want to wallow in philosophy like a pig in shit. I love it.
As far as i am concerned, i would say that i like philosophy but i do not love it. **

In psychology, the psyche /'sa?ki/ is the totality of the human mind, conscious and unconscious. **
Psychology is the scientific or objective study of the psyche. **
The word has a long history of use in psychology and philosophy, dating back to ancient times, and has been one of the fundamental concepts for understanding human nature from a scientific point of view. **
The English word soul is sometimes used synonymously, especially in older texts. **

Well, it is more like an EMR wave is made of affectance waves. There is a huge difference in scale between basic RM:AO and common physics. RM:AO deals with waves that range from (but not including) absolute zero up to perhaps 1000 times smaller than an electron. Whereas the smallest physics gamma wave is much larger than an electron.
In RM:AO there is no such thing as an affectance wave that isn't made of smaller affectance waves. And a typical EMR wave is a huge collection of affectance waves that just happens to have similar direction and polarity because of how such waves are produced. It is similar to comparing the sizes of an ocean wave (representing a gamma physics wave) to a single water molecule in RM:AO (representing an affectance »pulse« or wavelet).
To physics, an electron is so small as to be merely a tiny spec with almost no mass or size. But in RM:AO, that same electron is filled with millions of affectance wavelets or pulses with very notable mass and size. And an EMR gamma wave is much larger than that electron and filled with billions more affectance waves. An EMR wave is a huge wave of infinitesimal affectance waves. **

Af·fect 1 (-fkt):
tr.v. af·fect·ed, af·fect·ing, af·fects.
1. To have an influence on or effect a change in.Thus the nominative »affect« refers to the changing itself or the influencing itself (note: »Effect« refers to the end result of an Affect).
Affectance = an amount of subtle affects upon affects or influences upon influences. **

Greed is NOT good. **

Well, I thought that was a physical explanation.
Did you what me to write it on a cannon ball or in a physics book?
How do you propose that I make it more physical? **

Arminius wrote:
»Who is really thinking? God?
When you think that you think, what do you then think about the question who is really thinking?« ** **
A vague, somewhat mysterious entity with me that gives rise to what we call »consciousness« and »I«.
Who does the thinking for a nation? Who does the thinking for Congress? You are but a nation within a human body, equally as demon possessed as Congress and the nation. **

Tipping Point.
Whats striking is the carelessly discarded human potential on Earth ....And RM:AO teaches the limits of greed, why they are the limits, and what happens when they are exceeded.. **
The Limits to Growth is a 1972 book about the computer modeling of exponential economic and population growth with finite resource supplies. Funded by the Volkswagen Foundation and commissioned by the Club of Rome ..... **

Yep, both express the same concern and conclusion. The difference is that RM:AO is irrefutable. **

Certainly. They take statistical data and presume to extrapolate principles. Their premises could be wrong (much like Relativity or QP) or might be contingent upon concepts that cannot be extrapolated to the degree they take them (much like the Big Bang Theory or the second law of thermodynamics). RM:AO deals only with the lack of alternatives. **

Nothing can be proven to be true until there is a lack of alternatives. Nothing is possible until something is impossible. You only know that something is true when there is no alternative to the fact of it, when there is no other possibility at all. Proofs are formed only from »the lack of alternatives«, »the lack of options«, »the lack of question/doubt«, or »the impossibility of fallacy«. That is why RM:AO isn't merely a »possible theory«, but an »incontestable truth«.
RM:AO doesn't deal with merely »possible truths«, but rather the »impossible to be false« or simply the »lack of alternatives«. **

There are two different factors, here, which should be considered.
1. The power of like or love.
2. The depth of like or love.
On the other hand, you have to either accept that there is something essentially different in love as an emotion, or believe that there is a continuum( for power, as well as depth of that emotion) starting from the left with »hatred«, passing through "indifference" on the middle(0), and moving still to "like" and then right up to the end which is »love«; each of which, being gradually expanded within that continuum; that is to say that love for example, is not a point on the continuum, instead a part, gradually starting from no particular point. On that basis, You could possibly find no two love which are of exactly the same power or the same depth (as there are no two actual quantities in the world which are exactly of the same size) . therefore, two people could say that they love something, whereas the amount of their love is not the same.
The depth of like, or love also needs to be carefully defined and examined. To briefly look at it,this involves the intricacy present in each love; somehow like the amount of "knowledge" you have of the inside of what is being loved. A mother normally loves her kid, but that love does, by no means, depend on what she knows of the baby; only that it is her own baby. It is no use to say that "it is only an instinctive reaction", since the nature of love is instinctive altogether. Here is what I call a powerful emotion with a shallow depth. I once heard someone saying "I love onions"; where there is essentially not much in onions to be loved. At the same time you hear people saying they love philosophy (which has surely more than onions in it) just on the account that it sounds pompous (this is not of course, what they would confess, or even be aware of!). There are cases in which, when they are presented with the amount of attention and accuracy needed for examining philosophical thoughts, they no longer show that much interest! This is where they have acquired more knowledge of it. **
Now your question, I suppose, could be more exactly dissected into two different part, and asked in such a way :
1. How much are you attracted towards philosophy (say, love philosophy)?
2. How deep are you interested in philosophy.
The answer could be any number from -100 to +100 (if those are the limits), may it be the power, or depth. Of course it might lean towards love, or like or hatred. As people are not so exact about their own likes and dislikes(If that would be possible at all), they normally prefer to announce what their feeling leans to. Most of the time, you can find out more about other people's feelings by cross questioning or other interrogating ways! **

You can only know that »2+2=4« with 100% certainty because there is no possibility of it being anything else.
If someone defines »ephalante« as »a large gray beast«, then there is no possibility that an ephalante is anything other than »a large gray beast«. There is no alternative to the fact of it because the ephalante is defined to be that. A word or concept can only be what it is defined to be. Thus there is a »lack of alternatives« concerning what an ephalante is.
RM:AO deals with what things are defined to be and the proceeding logic due to those definitions. Thus RM:AO is always dealing with (and guided by) a lack of alternatives (due to the practice of using the very definitions involved rather than speculations of probable truths).
When RM:AO deduces something (and gets properly verified), there is no alternative to the truth of it. RM:AO deals only with 100% certain truths, or worded differently, »deals only with what things are defined to be and the consequential logic« or »deals only with the lack of alternatives«. **
RM allows for many ontologies to be fully acceptable and changed to and from depending upon rational use. RM:AO is merely one that exactly describes the make of the physical universe. Sometimes that is not important (most of the time). But a corollary to the fundamental physics of the universe is (for example), »PHT«. PHT dictates ALL human and animal behavior (aka »spirit«) and thus when dealing with psychological or religious concerns, PHT is indispensable.
RM:AO is more exacting than both Science and Religion. But often, being exacting is not important. **
