🧵 Consciousness without multiverse or God?

Are there any good secular, materialist, physicalist explanations of consciousness that don't involve a multiverse?
Because it seems to me the only good explanation of consciousness without spiritual religious stuff is going to involve multiverses and the collapse of the wave function

Why are midwits obsessed with language learning? Why are they learning foreing languages? Do they want to banter with foreign normies?
Also they are only interested in "learning by immersion" or some bullshit like that, so it's also a stupid inneficient way of doing stuff, if it worked the US diplomants and the CIA would teach languages that way

I want an advanced artificial intelligence to answer my question. It's a simple question with a simple premise:
>Name a language that contains the homophone pairs TWO/LOUSE and MANY/DOG.
It seems like a simple task but current AI just bloats itself with shit upon presenting this query. It always defaults to scattergunning languages (usually Mandarin, Hawaiian and French) and dragging itself through a big loop of "let's try language X because it has feature Y" rather than actually using the raw datasets it has access to that would immediately provide the answer.
Pic is my favourite time-wasting "thought" whether two words with 0 shared letters constituted a homophone in a phonetically transcribed language. Whoever programs these things needs a harsh reality check they can't do realworld tasks required of them and they can't do bulk data analysis.

Where do the numbers of this graph come from? I read the entire source and it's not mentioned anywhere. Is it all fake after all? How did they even conduct these studies anyway? Isn't that basically showing child porn to people? Is it legal if it's for scientific research?

What's the difference between
bounded space,
unbounded space,
finite volumes,
unbounded time,
bounded time?
I was chatting with someone about time and space when they told me that I didn't really get the concept of space. I thought I understood it, but he insisted that my idea was more related to volumes. That’s when I realized he was right, I didn’t really know the difference between volume and space.
naturally we conceive of all space as a volume, since no one can imagine what infinite space is like.
but I still don't quite get it, what is the difference between a bounded space and a finite volume? they sound like the exact same thing.

🧵 Universe 25
Anonymous at Fri, 28 Mar 2025 20:22:58 UTC No. 16631231
The "Universe 25" experiment is one of the most terrifying experiments in the history of science, which, through the behavior of a colony of mice, is an attempt by scientists to explain human societies. The idea of "Universe 25" Came from the American scientist John Calhoun, who created an "ideal world" in which hundreds of mice would live and reproduce. More specifically, Calhoun built the so-called "Paradise of Mice", a specially designed space where rodents had Abundance of food and water, as well as a large living space. In the beginning, he placed four pairs of mice that in a short time began to reproduce, resulting in their population growing rapidly. However, after 315 days their reproduction began to decrease significantly. When the number of rodents reached 600, a hierarchy was formed between them and then the so-called "wretches" appeared. The larger rodents began to attack the group, with the result that many males begin to "collapse" psychologically. As a result, the females did not protect themselves and in turn became aggressive towards their young. As time went on, the females showed more and more aggressive behavior, isolation elements and lack of reproductive mood. There was a low birth rate and, at the same time, an increase in mortality in younger rodents. Then, a new class of male rodents appeared, the so-called "beautiful mice". They refused to mate with the females or to "fight" for their space. All they cared about was food and sleep. At one point, "beautiful males" and "isolated females" made up the majority of the population.
According to Calhoun, the death phase consisted of two stages: the "first death" and "second death." The former was characterized by the loss of purpose in life beyond mere existence — no desire to mate, raise young or establish a role within society.

Hoping this board is less retarded than Plebbit.
Why is it still Blue ? I took around 10 mg a day where the recommended doses are around 2mg/kg body weight Bottle says one drop = 20 mg so I took no more than 10 drops a day for a few days. Also made me psychotic or at least let me recognize my brain wasn't responding to my surroundings correctly..

🧵 wtf just happened to my oven?
Anonymous at Fri, 28 Mar 2025 17:23:31 UTC No. 16631029
I didn't know what other board to ask on. I was heating it up to bake at 350. Part of the heating coil started a small fire inside which I noticed but wasn't too worried about because it's pretty normal for any small debris on the coil to sometimes catch fire and then burn out.
But it started making electrical noises in the spot the flame was and then started burning bright white like an electric flame. A few seconds later sparks flew out from the settings panel and the entire oven died. What the hell just happened.
