  • Yeah, that’s fair. I guess the hypothetical I had in my mind was if I’m at war and the enemy is torturing their POWs, I’m not going to start torturing mine because that would go against my morals. I was interpreting “going low” as abandoning my own values.

  • “Dream” concept leaves us in total chaos without even a theoretical chance to figure out how things work.

    I disagree. There’s no reason the scientific method (observe, question, hypothesize, experiment, record data, draw conclusions) can’t be applied in dreams.

    Just because your dreams aren’t consistent or logical doesn’t mean it’s impossible to have a logically consistent dream.

  • My go to response is usually “what do you mean by that?” Generally people say stuff like that to imply it’s impossible to “know” anything. But does it really matter if this is a dream or not?

  • What does worthwhile even mean? Have you ever had any sort of positive interaction? Who’s to say that small moment of enjoyment wasn’t worthwhile?

    Go find a someone who’s asking for help and help them.

  • Specifically a criticism of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger’s thought experiment is intended to make a person consider where/when the wave function is supposed to collapse.

    Pilot-wave theory is another interesting interpretation. I feel like it’s a much more “intuitive” interpretation.

  • It’s not an age thing so much as an “amount of interest” thing. The barriers to entry are constantly being lowered, so it takes less skill and investment to get involved in things.

    It’s one thing to download a free trial of something like photoshop, it’s another thing to spend years using it to the point where you understand the full capabilities of what you can do with it.

    As you get older you’ll see things that used to require a lot of effort to get into become easier and easier to access. It’s the march of technological progress, and it might make you feel like it’s devaluing the things you used to value. And then you’ll understand why your grandparents were always going on about “Back in my day…”

  • It’s a skill you can develop. For example ask yourself a question like “What do I want for lunch?” and then answer it. The more you talk to yourself the more you can learn about yourself. Be a friend to yourself.

    The voices in your head are still you, and it’s up to you to decide what thoughts to act on.
