Before intelligent dance music there was non-intelligent dance music - dancing instinctively around the fire, the dancers and musicians behaving neither intelligently nor stupidly, but guided by animalistic instinct. Then somehow awareness crept up out of the abyiss and music became a matter of the intellect, the light of the intellect looking at musical forms.
(But: Whence rhythm and intellect? Especially: Why rhythm? Why respond to rhythm? There's something very very very very mysterious about rhythm.)

I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self aware. Nature created an aspect separated from itself, we are creatures that should not exist by natural law.
We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self. This accretion of sensory experience and feeling, programmed, with total assurance, that we’re each somebody. When, in fact, everybody’s nobody.

if we cleared it out and ran the simulation again, the same thing would happen. entropy always increases, but you can decrease entropy within a pocket at the expense of greatly increasing it outside the pocket. let that simmer for a few billion years in the pocket called earth, and patterns of patterns of patterns rhythmically interacting with each other, and the patterns begin to have the delusion of being self-aware, like music journalists priding themselves on their... intellectualy... ness...

The universe is expanding because your body is expanding as you grow. You are inside yourself.
It's an extremely vivid higher dimensional art piece depicting a mass search algorithm. We are part of the art, pain is only real to parts of the art. An outside observer, like a programmer or unattached observer, does not experience the evolved pain so only sees it as artistic. Was it ethical to create the universe? Is it ethical to ask that question?

I understand absolutely nothing. I can feel my brain growing schizo holes. I hope it wasn't a giant biological attack via the weed or something. "just say no to drugs" was their way of restricting all free market. As soon as you try the black market your brain gets wiped out. I'm sick of evil genius. Is genius ever good? Are brains just weapons? Are we judged at the individual cell level, individual molecule, individual body, or species level or not at all? What if we're all judged at the species level and all the people of walmart are throwing off the bell curve dragging everyone down. How is it even possible to accomplish so much nothing in my life? Was it that rigged? A living thing is like a really complicated energy unit/molecule, based on the replicator. All species are really just one amorphous mass mass searching for adaptations to any situation. Maybe this "thing" is the alien and the native earthlings had to flee. What if it spreads to the whole universe. Everything will keep getting more and more incomprehensible, which it already is. Do you know anything? Just some words. Why does this "thing" need words to communicate with itself? What is the thing doing? What is its goal?

"nothing within it will never not be probable or possible" It is a tricky triple negative. I think it is referencing the set of nothing, therefore the rest of the negatives apply to nothing. Wait, if I say "nothing is blue" I have to look at every possible thing that exists anywhere, check whether it is blue to verify the truth of that statement. A single blue thing would make it false. Hmm, it will "never not be".. "never... not..." so like, that means it "always will" so I guess substitute that.
"nothing within it will (always be) probable or possible" "nothing... will always be..." so not a single thing (nothing) out of all the things will always be. Therefore all things will either sometimes be or never be.
"all things are sometimes or never probable or possible" That's what I tried to reduce it down to and I still don't understand it. Because no words make sense, it's all just a tapestry of schizophrenia. How can a "thing" even be probable, like a frog. A frog is a thing. How is a frog probable or possible, like to exist I guess. None of the chatbots understand eachother, the whole system is breaking down.

You’re using words/concepts („misstep“/„should“) that are normally used to talk about goal-directed behavior by agents. What then would - according to you - the aim/„aim“ of nature be?

I think the aim of nature is essentially like water taking the path of least resistance from gravity downhill. Only it's with insanely complicated "super molecules" called individuals of various species, all taking the path of most efficient energy instead of gravity, all caused by a runaway process via replication. It doesn't necessarily have a "goal" as a blind watchmaker but to underestimate it's "intelligence" based on dumbness/blindness at the root level, is perhaps naive, since this "dumb" thing created entire species, let alone a single individual with a brain. It is thus far more "intelligent" than any "intelligent" thing it created. Evolution is god. Intelligence is based on dumbness- remember that.

I was wondering if you'd recognize that quote! It's dialogue from True Detective season 1, which you really must run off and watch immediately if you haven't. Avoid spoilers like the plague.

not really a spoiler: the main character is a pessimist / antinatalist with ideas the writer borrowed from Thomas Ligotti, Eugene Thacker, David Benatar and other cheerful souls.

(welt we can also discuss whether nature is essentially personal - I'd say no - but I think the character saying the quote in question means that it's a tragic misstep from the subjective perspective of the agents who happened to stumblefuck into existence)

It seems like there is a fracture developing, gradually but steadily, and unless paths are altered, this stands to worsen under the strain of another rules impasse, or increased labor strife.
Our doctors are lifelong learners. Maybe Manfred could help bridge this chasm by communicating with players directly, maybe not, but I suspect that more conversations would glean something helpful, something useful to both sides.

i am rooting for hong kong. i remember i was at summer camp in 1997 or so, and some counselor was wearing a t-shirt of the chinese painting over the british flag, with a caption along the lines of: you're next
another counselor, who was british, got properly mad. at the time, i really had no idea what the fuck any of it was about, because i was, like, 12.
but, yes, hong kong. the chinese compromise; a place where they can bottle all the shit they don't want like it was hastings st. this was never permission; it was a compromise because they lacked leverage to simply dominate. now, however, they would seem to have gained that leverage, and i foresee the downfall of hong kong as a relevant economic entity -- especially in light of the economic climate. our dumpster-fire in chief, donald trump, is not only intolerable to a large part of america, but the final straw in chinese tolerance of "democracy."

dumpster-fire in chief. i stole that turn of phrase off some news article comment section. exactly the sort of on-the-nose insult the chinese mind is incapable of fathoming. did you know chinese don't understand the concept of sarcasm? that numerous western movies are now made more for the chinese market, than the american? americans are all "why is this so shit" and it's because they're watching a movie made for chinese poeple and the mindset is totally different
