Yes, boredom certainly plays a huge role in obesity. I even noticed on my own that when I sit without work for several days, I want to eat more and, most importantly, I have absolutely healthy food.

To the maximum, this should apply to other species too. It is very difficult not to kill even a mosquito or a fly by accident, but we can at least restrict and not eat animals.

Why doesn't it apply to plants?

First, it has been proven that plants do not experience pain, at least on a global scale, the pain that animals or humans experience when they physically suffer. Second, I wrote about maximum empathy, not absolute.

Human egoism is the main cause of all local and global problems.

Would it be better if it's removed? How far can we go? Should we let mosquitos bite us?

It would be better if there were less of him and there would be more compassion and mutual assistance.

Just Chat! / Can we be sure of our own existence

« on: 20/11/2021 08:31:14 »

How can you be absolutely sure that we exist?

Cogito ergo sum.
Is it possible for anything to be conscious while not exist?

What if we are in a simulation and we have only the illusion of existence and thinking?

It means that we exist in the simulation. It requires the assumption that the simulation exists, and someone has built and run it. Those are unnecessary assumptions to explain observations, which can be explained more simply. It means we should discard the idea, according to Occam's razor.

I'd like to believe in it very much. But if we are really in the simulation, then the creators of the simulation exist (and even then not exactly), and we do not exist, because we are illusory.

Human egoism is the main cause of all local and global problems. If people were kinder to each other, it seems to me that this would greatly change the planet for the better. I am currently collaborating with the EduBirdie company and am writing a small study on the topic of morality and on the topic of how important it is in this historical period to understand that we are one.

If you add enough "necessary axioms", you can end up believing whatever made them necessary. Hence religion, a flat earth supported on turtles, and other kinds of foolishness.

Better to start with observations.

The only thing we can be sure of is our own existence.  Any other things can be deceiving, including our observations.
An assumption is necessary if it can somehow be related to our existence.

How can you be absolutely sure that we exist?

Sometimes they can be losers who eventually become heroes thanks to their fanaticism.

Yes, farming and housekeeping is great alternative to shopping. As for the cultivation of organic products, the future for individual farming seems to me.

Just Chat! / Re: Is there a universal moral standard?

« on: 24/10/2021 08:12:25 »

That universal terminal goal is the ultimate reason why we use reason at all, and not become irrationalists, hyper sceptics, or nihilists.

The fact that some people become irrationalists, hypersceptics or nihilists (not to mention fascists or communists) denies the existence of a universal goal.

I absolutely agree with you. Everything is relative in the aspect of morality and for each conviction can be equally strong and correct, both for a fascist and an anti-fascist. And each of them will bring their own incredibly powerful arguments.

It seems to me that an orchestra can function without a conductor, but the quality of the musical product will be very low.

Just Chat! / Re: Is science fiction and fantasy becoming mainstream a good thing or bad thing?

« on: 20/10/2021 11:56:52 »

It seems to me that this is great, since many designers have been inspired by science fiction to create incredible inventions. I often write about this in my fiction and academic research, with the help of EduBirdie. Science fiction is truly a genre that can expand our minds and push us towards something new.

In my opinion, wisdom is when your philosophy coincides with your actions and does not contradict them.

As a materialist, I can say that a person does not have a soul and cannot have it, because everything is subject to physical material laws in which there is no place for a soul.

I am a fan of the idea that a person does not have free will, or at least it is very limited by genetics, internal biochemical processes, external events, which intertwine, create a network and matrix for human behavior.
