Hrvoje1 Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) I woke up one morning, and realized that I don't have an answer to questions such as how life started on earth, and how it evolves. I had nothing better to do, so I started to investigate it a bit, wrote 4 short essays, and published it on a blogger platform. Here they are: https://hrvojedj.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-origin-of-information.html https://hrvojedj.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-revision-of-origin-of-information.html https://hrvojedj.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-connection-between-thermal-food.html https://hrvojedj.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-game.html They also present my naturalistic philosofical views. If you feel like it, give me some feedback, positive or negative, I don't care. Or, better to say, I can stand it. If I really didn't care at all, I wouldn't bother to write.

Science has answers to how it evolves and is a long way to understanding how it started as well.
Hrvoje1 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Posted December 9, 2018 So, if science has answers, it's not anymore philosophical subject, right?
dimreepr Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 Just now, Hrvoje1 said: So, if science has answers, it's not anymore philosophical subject, right? you can still ask why...
Hrvoje1 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Look, if philosophy was good for Newton, it should be good for us too. He didn't bother to make sharp distinction between philosophy and science, so why should we? Edited December 9, 2018 by Hrvoje1

Maybe it has some answers, but not all? Maybe not all scientists agree all the time on all points? Maybe you still have to figure out what scientists know, and you think you know too, but it's far from the truth? 3 minutes ago, John Cuthber said: Learn to spell philosophical (or get a browser that corrects it for you). Buzz off. Did I spell that right for you? 1

Hrvoje1 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Posted December 9, 2018 No, what I meant is that someone may think he/she knows all the stuff that scientists know, but he/she doesn't. I know I didn't. So I investigated it a bit, and came up with these essays.

Whilst I appreciate that in all sincerity you have created a fair amount of work, I don't know why the mods are allowing this thread to proceed in this format since we have to go offsite to read anything. Anyhow I note that two at least of your blogs are about 'information' But I could not find anywhere where you told us what you mean by information. Quote For example, I wasn't aware of the fact that "information" is uncountable noun in English, unlike in Croatian, in which the word "informacija" has singular and plural form, since it means a piece of information, or a bit of information. Nor do I knwo what an uncountable noun is in English so please enlighten me about that. Do you mean 'collective noun' ? https://www.google.co.uk/search?source=hp&ei=qSYNXK-BLY3hkgW7_KGQCw&q=collective+noun&btnK=Google+Search&oq=collective+noun&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l10.912.3032..4494...0.0..0.1150.5450.5-1j3j2......0....1..gws-wiz.....0..0i131.GgD8PsRkloM In any case English and Science differ in their definition and use of the word. So any serious work using that word must provide a definition early on to define the scope of the discussion.

Hrvoje1 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Posted December 9, 2018 And why would mods not allow the discussion? Some of them already told me to go elsewhere to blog. So I did it. But it doesn't mean I cannot discuss it here. As for the definition of information, there are some here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information There are also theories about that subject, and I referred to them in these essays. Just now, dimreepr said: And you do now? Well, I know more than I knew before I did the investigation.
