Yes. So why make a weird analogy when we already have appropriate terms? 4 hours ago, joigus said: Let's establish an isomorphism Φ : You should have started there. 4 hours ago, joigus said: IOW, my question is your question disguised under an isomorphism. And I don't know how "stupid" it is. But it's your question. Yes, you simply try to embed gibberish in a mathematical formula. But I'm more used to talk about elementary particles or fields that candy and people to explain how the universe works. That's why. 4 hours ago, joigus said: --yawn. Stupid or ridiculous does not mean impossible.

Apparently the rhetoric you allude to, and that you thought you saw, is completely absurd and does not hold up. Look, I reiterate with a simple definition in bold: These are your words which are stupid. It's a total ineptitude to ask that the science can prove the existence of 17 balls of jello, each with the mind of a baby, but whose mutual communication results into a common mega intelligence that rules our universe. Why would you resurrect a thread in which you clearly struggled? I think I know, but I'd love to hear your excuse reason...

joigus Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) @Kartazion, You proposed the idea that an "intelligent world" rules our universe. Ok. What is that world? Where is it? How do you define its "intelligence"? How does it relate to "the universe". Why another "world" besides the world? You do not bother to justify at any length what you say, and not only you expect everybody to make a rational argument from it, but you get angry with me to the point of being insulting when I show you that your non-argument is vague at best, by substituting "intelligent world" for some equally ad hoc notion, shoehorned into the same question. I think a change in your attitude is in order if you want to raise your standards a little bit and get people to respect you as a valid interlocutor. I don't care for your insults, nor do I care for your neg-reps attacks. Nor do I care for your apologies, but if you want to offer your apologies, I will accept them. I will keep trying to call on you to raise your rational standards. --knock, knock, anybody there? Edited December 2, 2020 by joigus

That would be misunderstanding the 'everything'. Science doesn’t require the hypothesis, so why would it try explain? How would the universe look if this were the case? Quote Why make a big deal out of it for a simple question? That’s a dodge. The point here is that it’s not a simple question, because you have not clarified important points that are crucial for answering. It’s an ambiguous question.

You're still not here. As soon as you come around, tell me. As Swansont said, you're dodging the questions and decided to get personal. Some questions don't make sense. Examples (you seem to need a lot of help to understand): Is the universe optimistic? What is the genetic code of my wristwatch? Does Jupiter's atmosphere like me? What's the purpose of Mount Kilimajaro? Understand a little better? --this one does make sense. I hope so. I expect not.

Live long and prosper! 14 hours ago, Kartazion said: So juste tell me what argument is it? I don't get it. Ad hoc explanations are weak, because you can substitute them for just about anything and they are essentially the same. It can be 17 balls of jello, or it can be an intelligent world, or it can be a pair of thinking shoes. Anything goes. Many ancient myths are like that. They can also be extended ad infinitum (an intelligent world that rules another intelligent world, that rules another intelligent world, that... that rules the universe). You can't tell the "good" theory from the "bad" one because they're all equally bad. They're all non-theories. That's why we don't accept ad hoc arguments in science. Science has a built-in optimization algorithm. Edited December 3, 2020 by joigus

If someone thinks an intelligent agent is required, they own the burden of proof conclusively showing this requirement
