I fucking hate philosophers. It is so unbelievably easy for literally retarded people to push deepities as useful insights.

What you are watching here is a midwith struggle to understand the basics. This fucking douchebag cannot comprehend that in order for anything become scientifically testable all you need to do is figure out how to measure it.

The moment you can measure it is the moment you have access to repeatability, testability and the scientific method.

I have developed, what is new to me, a way to look at the world and judge people around me. While I primarily look for reasonable measures of competence in a person, what I am REALLY looking out for with each individual that I deal with is to try to figure out this:

WHAT GRIFT IS THIS PERSON PLYING THEIR TRADE IN? WHAT ANGLE ARE THEY WORKING.

We think of our world as being made up of mostly normal people working normal jobs and then the occasional pickpocket or scam artist once in a while stealing something. I have started to notice that a HELL OF A LOT of people are actually out there working scams, grifts and angles. We are all watching the entire legal, medical and political infrastructure fully of NOTHING BUT individuals grifting their way to a pay cheque.

This is what is happening in this clip. The tell in this specific clip is that he needs 14 minutes to explain one statement: If you can measure it it is accessible to science.

And the galling thing about people like these? They aren't even smart enough to understand that we can see through their bullshit. If it was a really clever and well executed grift, I could even respect that. But this guy? These fucking people? So fucking dumb that most of them are convinced of their own brilliance and even utility.

The hard problem of consciousness suffers from the same problem as other philosophical dilemmas: it's a poorly phrased question. Ask a nonsensical question and you either get a nonsensical answer or you twist yourself into philosophical knots trying to answer it. Wikipedia summarizes the hard problem of consciousness as

The hard problem of consciousness is the problem of explaining why and how we have qualia or phenomenal experiences.

And it rejects explaining how the physical systems work as an explanation because it falls under the 'easy' problem of consciousness.

It then goes on to mention that there's a slew of philosophers who agreee that the hard problem of consciousness is a problem, and others who don't see a problem at all. They can't even agree on what question is being asked because it's just verbal trickery. A statement that refers to nothing. A nonsensical question. Jewery at its finest.

You nailed that so well.

I am astounded at just how many times I watch one of these so called experts in some field and totally fail to always keep the option open to evaluating that a question may not actually making any sense. The moment that you are able to ask "does this question even make sense" is the moment a lot of this bullshit just goes away.

Exactly right on the jewry part. I see the same tricks over and over again ... basically everywhere.

Once you start to see it, it is hard to unsee. I would like to see if I can gamify this in some way to help train our people to start looking for this phenomenon because it is precisely in the wheelhouse of how jew tricksterism works.

And to drive the point home, note how they ask a 'why' question and then reject the answer that's given that explains how the physical system works. It reminds me of a five year old repeatedly asking 'why?' and each time the parent trying to provide a higher and higher level explanation until the parent inevitably gives up.

We are ruled by a legion of midwits my friend. These fucking people run hospitals, governments and police forces.

It is an astounding realization to come to.
