Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There are so many trans babiesEnglish
419·2 months agoWell there are infinite possible genders and thousands already in use, so I think with 2,880-20,160 trans people born each day, the odds are very high.

Video game is right. What we experience is a mental construct, and it can be reprogrammed. It already has been reprogrammed by religious groups and media conglomerates to control you. We need to take back that power and become masters of our own universes.

Science Fiction@lemmy.world•Parallel dimensions? No, they're hyperlayersEnglish
2·3 months agoMy favourite Asimov story is The Gods Themselves, which uses the membrane theory. Earth comes into contact with the people of another hyperlayer with different laws of physics, and they use the differences in the laws of physics to create free energy.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Scifi question about time travel:English
2·7 months agoWell, “no objective reality” is a lot more accurate to the truth of the world than any alternative. It might not be as narratively satisfying as a story where objective truths exist, but I suspect the human desire for objective truth is a cultural value that would be in our best interest to shed.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Scifi question about time travel:English
2·7 months agoIt’s called a looped timeline pair. Timeline 1 creates timeline 2, and timeline 2 creates timeline 1. Both timelines exist on an alternating basis. It’s one of the results of the bootstrap paradox. When people think of the bootstrap paradox, they usually think of single looped timelines. Those appear in media all the time. Harry Potter, Gargoyles, etc. But an unstable set of timelines can also stabilise across two, three, or more timelines instead of just one.
Out of the infinite versions of you in the multiverse, half win the lottery and half don’t. Which one your consciousness inhabits is pure luck.
That’s because anthropologically, realism is pretty new. The idea of a single objective truth to encapsulate the whole universe was an idea invented by the Romans. And everyone knows what the Romans did to religious diversity in Europe. Most cultures in the history of the world have to some degree acknowledged the subjectivity of perception and the self-contradictory nature of “objective truth”.
I’m part of a political movement that opposes Roman/Abrahamic style realism. We believe it’s the cause of the crusades, slavery, the nakba, the holocaust, the witch trials, and all of history’s other greatest atrocities. True freedom will only come when we are free to perceive differently than those in authority. To live in a different perceptual universe.

1·7 months agoIt should say “gods are a fairy tale”. “god is a fairy tale” is misleading grammar if you don’t mean there’s one. You wouldn’t say “gremlin is a fairy tale”, you’d say “gremlins are a fairy tale”.

6·7 months agoThat depends on your definition of the word “god”. Einstein certainly wasn’t an Abrahamist, he was a pantheist. He believed the entire universe was comprised by a divine whole.

22·7 months agoYou shouldn’t use “god” as a proper noun. No one being owns the concept of being a god. You’re just legitimising Abrahamism, you’re not helping the atheist cause. Helping Abrahamists erase polytheism doesn’t lead to more atheism, it leads to more Abrahamists.

All that being said, this isn’t really anything you can live by. At least I can’t. Most metaphysics are so much shit on a prick and untestable.
Oh, I live by anarcho-antirealism, and it’s been very helpful in My life. For example, I used chaos magic to cure My girlfriend’s sleep apnea - https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/curing-sleep-apnea-with-magic-vi-s-spellbook-d1c6f1658cdb
Here’s a theroy: holding power and wealth in modern society may not be strongly correlated with an accurate view of objective reality but is strongly correlated in strongly believing you have an accurate view of objective reality
I actually disagree with this as well. The rich and powerful certainly act like they believe in reality, because it’s a useful tool for them. But they don’t truly believe. They correctly understand the scientific fact that perception is belief, and so they manipulate public belief through the news media to rewrite the universe in their favour. Rupert Murdoch is probably the person who understands and practices this the best. His news empire rewrites consensus reality to favour Capital. This is bad, and we need antirealism so we can take this power away from the rich and “seize the means of perception”.
