Don't be a Logic Zombie!!!

And I am certainly not trying to do way with governments, who were put in place to deal with such people.

I am not a politician or a statesmen. The people of that world can debate about laws. I don't like the idea of the law being enforced hy robots because I don't think it would leave room for mercy. I think there should be room for mercy.

Not that it matters what I think.

Not everyone is going to purify their heart of defilements for the sake of God, so it would not be reasonable to expect that everyone is going to be a hesychast.

A logic zombie is someone who blindly follows logic no matter how ridiculous the conclusions may be.

For example, you can't just blindly follow logic into idiotic beliefs like determinism and solipsism. These are obviously intellectual black holes with no utilitarian value whatsoever.

A logic zombie is just a person who can't face reality and who won't be honest with themselves.

A logic zombie is someone who never takes personal responsibility for their actions and instead blames logic for their moronic and misguided attacks on well established and incontrovertible truth.

You can't depend on logic for everything. People know deep down what is right and what is wrong. You know the truth. You just need the courage to face the facts.

I believe that I can achieve all of the things that you say logic cannot achieve if it is used correctly, what do you think? 

One way to win quest was to discover this sabotage.

"NTURTTGgTS" is perfectly logical.

A perfectly logical conclusion would be one that can be derived purely from logic. Er go, your "logic zombie" would be capable of reaching it.

I've never personally reached an absurd conclusion through logic.

well, you do need some sort of premise

Generally, the starting premise is taken to be Cogito er go sum.

There are 2 sexes (outside of chromosomal disorders). Gender is a social construct, as evidenced by how gender roles differ from culture to culture and by species. As such, gender is only limited by how many society comes up with.

Species dysphoria is the experience of dysphoria and dysmorphia involving the belief of one's body being the wrong species. A person may not be happy with their body image and may hallucinate or think of themselves as an animal of some sort.

do you have any thoughts regarding solipsism ?

Solipsism is almost always a hypocritical belief.

Above all, don’t ask what to believe—ask what to anticipate. Every question of belief should flow from a question of anticipation, and that question of anticipation should be the center of the inquiry. Every guess of belief should begin by flowing to a specific guess of anticipation, and should continue to pay rent in future anticipations. If a belief turns deadbeat, evict it.

MORPHEUS: For the longest time, I wouldn't believe it. But then I saw the fields with my own eyes, watched them liquefy the dead so they could be fed intravenously to the living -

NEO (politely): Excuse me, please.

MORPHEUS: Yes, Neo?

NEO: I've kept quiet for as long as I could, but I feel a certain need to speak up at this point. The human body is the most inefficient source of energy you could possibly imagine. The efficiency of a power plant at converting thermal energy into electricity decreases as you run the turbines at lower temperatures. If you had any sort of food humans could eat, it would be more efficient to burn it in a furnace than feed it to humans. And now you're telling me that their food is the bodies of the dead, fed to the living? Haven't you ever heard of the laws of thermodynamics?

MORPHEUS: Where did you hear about the laws of thermodynamics, Neo?

NEO: Anyone who's made it past one science class in high school ought to know about the laws of thermodynamics!

MORPHEUS: Where did you go to high school, Neo?

(Pause.)

NEO: ...in the Matrix.

MORPHEUS: The machines tell elegant lies.

(Pause.)

NEO (in a small voice): Could I please have a real physics textbook?

MORPHEUS: There is no such thing, Neo. The universe doesn't run on math.

Could I please have a real physics textbook?

we don't know how this thing works, at a fundamental level

this very well could all be some sort of manifestation of brahman's eternal dream

Solipsism is almost always a hypocritical belief. Under solipsism, people say something along the lines of, "only my mind exists, everything I think I know is false/unknowable." But then they go on living their life essentially the same. They use clocks to make appointments on time. They look both ways when crossing the street. They tie their shoes when they see that it is untied.

Rest assured, if I thought the entire universe was inside my own imagination, I would devote my efforts to making some major renovations (hallucinate a better "reality").

I say almost always hypocritical because I'm sure some people have taken the belief seriously in their personal lives, but they aren't the ones arguing it online.

If one's belief in solipsism doesn't affect what they anticipate observing, then all they have is a belief in their head that says "solipsism is real", completely disconnected from their other beliefs. These "floating beliefs" are completely useless.

For me, solipsism can't be disproven; assuming it is true, then all of my scientific knowledge of how the universe behaves is in my imagination, and may not tie to how the universe that my brain actually exists in functions.

Rest assured, if I thought the entire universe was inside my own imagination, I would devote my efforts to making some major renovations (hallucinate a better "reality").

One can already do this. It's called, "perspective."

Hello, I'm Athias. Nice to meet you.

Useless in what context?

No one ever separated biological sex with gender before that since the dawn of time.

the word gender has been high jacked and redefined
