It's only superficial if you make it about money or status For me, it's about the craftsmanship, design, and innovation behind each of those things. I appreciate the art and thought that goes into them. You'll see me making threads about Toyota and Aston Martin.

Interesting, I have never really thought about it that way. For me it has always been some sort of way to present yourself and a status symbol which I don’t really care about.

But I suppose it would def take a lot of creativity and attention to detail to produce these things and the history behind them.

I remember you making a thread about suits, italian vs brittish vs american suits something like that. That was interesting imo

Philosophy,Art ish

The fact that all philosophies are fallible is kinda annoying, but also fun to dive into schizo theories. Also the sense that all of your goals and identity are essentially out of your hands. Only variables that collide together in unique ways.

Definitely prefer looking prescriptive philosophies though, used to deal with metaphysics and such. But seeking prescriptive statements and ideas in philosophy is more practical in daily life. Like a toolkit.

Heres a cool quote; "that consciousness is in no way a cause to the bodily reactions through which the needs are fulfilled. Explanation is not derived from desire , feeling, will, or purpose, however compelling these may seem to our immediate awareness, but from the sequence of stimulation -- neural transmission, and reaction"

Well from the start you undergo a causal chain in which you have no control of. For example one can only learn what is either genetically imprinted (instinct) or what is taught or discovered in the environment. Meaning right from the start the chain of exposures to the environment and people around you shape your own character.

Even in regards to genetics, ones genetics determines their responses to the initial environmental stimuli they are exposed to. So for example where one person will act negatively one may act positively sheerly due to their ingrained dispositions.

The most interesting part though is the development of agency and 'free will'. It seems that certain life events or ingrained temperaments can cause a person to become more aware of themselves and therefore have more control over their actions, undoing for example the programming of society and such around them (this can be seen with heavy introspection). But in the end, they are still operating on a causal chain. Without the correct environmental and temperamental dispositions in the first place they would not reach their introspective ability.

And lastly, even when introspecting, one is still operating on disposition and instinct, for example an instinct to the rational can cause ruthless pragmatism, emotional causing a romanticised worldview.

causal chain is only in your head though it probably doesn't exist in reality

what are your thoughts on compatibilism?

 

[LooksmaxxingGrind]

what are your thoughts on compatibilism?

From just looking at the wiki, it seems to just be a semantic reframing of the meaning of free will. I don't see how free will can be compatible in any way with determinism. Even with the presence of quantum randomness one is still not in the drivers seat for any of their choices.

This simply stems from the fact that one cannot choose their foundation; environment,body,mind ect. Therefore 'they' are not making any choice just going down a causal chain. There is a point on the wiki that argues for moral compatibility. I'm a moral relativist, but even so we don't need moral objectivity to punish people. Just do it because they interrupt what the masses (or whoever has the most power) deems as bad for the current system of behaviour, it doesn't need to be due to an infallible morality.

There is in a way a caveat. That being that even determinism is only the most probable philosophical idea for me at the moment. Not fact, as we do not have knowledge about the cause of everything (not hard proof anyways). Although free will is very unlikely atm.

 

[Gargantuan]

Metaphysics, consciousness, cycles, hidden history, the way cosmic frequencies, minds, and civilisations move through repeating patterns.
I’m also drawn to esotericism, occultism, and to a lesser extent, the physics beneath myth.

But I’m equally rooted in nature, primalism, raw/natural life, instinct.
The cosmic and the organic are the same current viewed from two ends, it’s always been about decoding reality itself for me.

it just in causal determinism you can still have options and choose even what you don't like

i think morality is relative in different cultures but inside them it is objective

For causal determinism I'd say that it's not that you have options. But the illusion of choice is definitely something we are privy to.

What would you regard as an example of objective morality?

Options are not chosen by someone in the sense they are not able to make decisions without being privy to the causal chain. Even the choice to eat or not eat a bread roll is determined by their previous experiences and by their inherent temperaments. Plus the mental model that they operate with. A persons mental state and thoughts can override their biology or effect it. Example being someone that is raised in a high inhib place becoming high inhib through pressure. But they did not choose anything, their thoughts are simply the result of their causal chain too. You cannot think anything you do not know, or that is not a synthesis of what you already know.

It's not that a person cannot make choices, it's that it is disingenious to state that those choices possess any capability of being spontaneous. Even if they are spontaneous due to a random firing or some quantum thing, their actions are still happening to them, as opposed to being theirs.

It's really hard to articulate, but like an automaton, without having control over your creation, non of your decisions can be 'yours'. Only that the 'you' is an illusion created by everything around you, plus genetics.

In regards to morality I agree that there are objective laws. But we have seen that even they are not entirely consistent in enforcement, for example human sacrifice being a thing in the past, or laws killing other humans that are deemed 'other'. I would say it's not that there are objective morals, but factors foundational to a system itself (a system being a society where people get along), there must be coherence.

There can't be a society if no one agrees with one another, and if everyone kills each other. This does not make murder a moral wrong, but a systemic wrong. The system cannot flourish if it permits murder, so to consolidate power it must have rules. I'm not sure if you are suggesting a higher power that enforces morality. But in regards to law I would say that it's moreso systemic rules than morality. The rich and ambitious can circumnavigate and do circumnavigate law by doing heinous acts for example, breaking the law. But to say they are immoral in anything higher than 'they did something I don't agree with' is essentially a meaningless proposition. 'Morality' is a fiction enforced by power IMO.

Day trading

It’s possible to predict every move in the market but if you don’t understand probabilities then it doesn’t matter. This is why becoming system oriented not just in day trading, but in life is necessary. Start analyzing probabilities and acting based off said probabilities in regards to every aspect of your life, and you will see an instant increase in your performance trading.

science based lifting

i’ve been thinking about the principle where stimulating the same fibres for additional sets results in diminishing growth

but also there’s only limited ‘optimal’ movements for each muscle

how do we find the balance between adding another set of an optimal movement or doing a completely new movement, that’s less optimal, that targets (mostly) different fibres

how do we make a model that can factor this in for a bunch of movements to find what would result in most growth
