observing reality from the ground up and retardmaxxing
If an immovable object met an unstoppable force nothing would happen. As in, The universe would disappear and never have existed in the first place. If the property of immovability and unstopability are strapped to the very foundation of reality then reality would cease to exist when collided. If one triumphant over the other that would only prove that the triumphed ones law was more fundamental.
A law is not something that has to be explained, it simply is. Anything observed can be a law. When I let go of a ball there is a law that states that it will be move to the direction of the ground. I don't need to understand Newtonian physics for that law to be true. Even if it something only happens one time it can still be considered a law. If someone bumps into me while walking to the subway for example, "when walking in the subway someone will bump into me" now if I return to the subway and someone does not bump into me a "contradiction" is revealed. Contradictions are proof that there lay a more fundamental law which allows my higher assumed law to be contradicted.
No law any human has created has reached the most fundamental level. Meaning, any law can be contradicted. "Truth" is unreachable by a conceptual machine.
Newtonian physics seemed to lay at the very foundation of reality. Until a contradiction was found in the right circumstances. That of massive objects in interstellar space.
This is no different than the law of "when walking in the subway someone will bump into me" being contradicted by the right circumstance.
In The practice of observing reality the most fundamental action is the creation of laws. In order to keep observing reality one must find the right circumstances to contradict that law. When the contradiction is revealed the next step is to observe the difference in "property" between the circumstances.
This is the scientific method explained from the ground up.
Instead of applying the scientific method to our own understanding of reality, it is used as a tool to make blind statements based on other people's assumptions. Culturally, we have lost the ability to observe reality. That privilege is left only to the academic elite.
Questioning science has become taboo. Not science as the scientific method, but the laws established by a certain scientific community.
However much our culture loves the idea of science and what it represents. Its meaning has been cluttered by the cultural morphings of words. We as a culture morphed the word "science" into "science by these specific people with these specific qualifications with this specific world-view".
And we turned that into something equivalent to the word "truth".
And anyone who are not these specific people, with these specific qualifications, with this specific world-view who dares question science is retarded and should be ridiculed. I.e we become witch-hunters once more.
This will only be amplified as Ai takes up a larger and larger part of our reality. When Ai gets better at making decisions it will seem stupid to question it, and anyone who dares is to be ridiculed. Even though the conception of reality of Ai bots are being moderated by specific people with specific qualifications with a specific world-view.
In a few generations the individuals necessity to construct laws might be lost in direct importance, how much longer then will it take before it is no longer taught? There might very well come a time were we completely lose our ability to make laws of reality by ourself and we return to cavemen, only we now have a giant moderated hivemind to be part of.
I don’t want to be part, but I don’t know if I have much of a choice. The only thing I can think of that might free oneself is to let go of the importance of truth. The giant hivemind of the scientific community and soon the Ai supported hivemind will always have more fundamental laws in place than I can ever reach myself. To just allow oneself to retardmax.
Retardmaxxing might be the only cognitive freedom we have left.
