—” A recent theory, based on thermodynamics in physics, suggests that neural networks in a healthy brain naturally organize together according to energy costs into a sufficient number of connection “microstates” that lead to consciousness. Too many or too few microstates and the brain loses its adaptability, processing powers, and sometimes the ability to keep itself online.”—

—“Science explains and Mathematics describes the universe. However, engineers are necessary to produce calculations and write procedures and processes for the technician that produces the machines that the clerk, and laborer use to produce the goods services and information the individual consumes.

Oct 30, 2019, 10:36 AM As in all things there is no paradox, just an open question, no paradoxes exist. One can falsify the fermi question. It is falsifiable.We have failed to falsify it. One cannot disprove, only fail to provide a proof of possibility in an axiomatic system like mathematics, and reality is a theoretic system, not axiomatic. At present it is falsifiable, un-falsified, and undecidable, and therefore all we can say is that “we don’t know yet”. The most obvious reasons are: 1 – Technological (EMR is a primitive technology) 2 – Differences are such that we would be of no trading (cooperative) value; interfering would only create a competitor; and it is too early for a colonization effort to have reached us given the recent development of EMR broadcasting. 3 – Time and distance window of opportunity 4 – We are in a calm location between arms, in a calm (dying) galaxy, and have had long enough period of growth to ‘bake’ in necessary conditions 5 – I am concerned that the spinning liquid iron core of our planet that creates its defensive field is rarer than we imagine, and as such it is much harder for life to have time to bake. taken to the extreme, the question may be, now many planets can survive four to five billion years, in a safe rural area of a galaxy, in the habitable (water) zone, while maintaining a spinning liquid iron core?

—“I’m still not exactly sure what do you mean by defeating the red queen because to me, red queen is part of the natural law (or rather one of its causes) and defeating nature is something leftists think they can do.”—Martin Štěpán
Hmm. i mean staying ahead of the red queen?
—“So, staying ahead of whoever happens to be in competition with you at the moment.”—Martin Štěpán
Hmm broader. This planet is really dangerous and we are in a very ‘quiet’ period. This solar system is pretty dangerous and we are in a quiet period. This galaxy is in a pretty dangerous, and we are in a quiet period. I mean, until we are able to run around the universe we are kinda in competition with the red queen. After that WE ARE THE RED QUEEN.
—“Okay, now I see. “You have to keep moving to stay in the same place.” I don’t think we can ever afford to stop moving so to me, ever defeating it remains out of the question. Staying ahead is right.”—Martin Štěpán

Nov 20, 2019, 11:50 AM by Don Miguel A major part of Darwin’s book is this: 1) Any trait that does not vary in a current population will also not vary among its past ancestors nor its close relations. 2) Conversely, any trait by which an existing creature differs from a near relative or its recent ancestors must also vary among the currently-existing population. Morality clearly falls into the latter category. We differ in our moral intuitions from chimps, and we thus differ in our moral intuitions from other extant relatives
