Absolutely, and it's useful as a paradigm. Classical mechanics works perfectly within distinct parameters.

To explain a phenomenon by its symptoms will lead to a poor understanding and poor result of study.
Gravity, for example, is a symptom, not a law by itself.

I've known about that toad, but I've yet to meet him.
I'm grateful for your reflections.
I used two extremes in one analogy to show the absurdity of it, but I think you're right in saying the balance is being in the world, not of the world.
I also think that it's useful to use this definition of ideology: ideology is the act of fabrication or use of false constructs in order to cope with uncertainty.
Examples are: assuming the laws of physics are constant and homogenous everywhere in our universe, which hinders the study of what they actually are. Or, assuming we are our body, which fails to explain psychosomatics or relocation of memory. Or, believing in God, ruining the ability to have faith and keep your senses open to witness what that may actually be.

Believing that the gap is filled by mass media and materialism is an ideology too, it's a symptom.
The crayon analogy I like because I think it's childish to think you can imagine what the true greatness of existence is. You can give expression to the feeling you have when you try to imagine, that's something else, but as soon as someone starts to fix an image, the gap of uncertainty is filled with that which hasn't been discovered yet and is taken for true.
I think the most sane approach is to dare to leave open that which is unknown. That doesn't mean you can't have faith, but it does mean no personification, identification, or any kind of fixation of that which is uncertain.

2025-03-24 15:16:30 GMT

- reply

Ideological beliefs is a pleonasm.
Sure, identification with constructs is not helpful.
Ideology as a phenomenon is like taking a bunch of crayons to make a drawing of God, and then believing that's what God looks like. As if you're able to conceive of such. It shuts the door on seeing what can be discovered.

2025-03-24 15:07:48 GMT

- reply

My point is that ideology requires fiction, and it is used to fill gaps caused by uncertainty.
You can have faith, but any form of belief is closing doors on potential understanding.

2025-03-24 14:55:41 GMT

Using any kind of ideology will lead to cognitive dissonance. Ideology will one day be seen as a mental disorder.

An example is not to question whether there is a god, which is a query for affirmation of, but to ask how much of such a power you'd be able to comprehend.

2025-03-18 10:53:26 GMT

Don't look for affirmation, affirmation is based on your assumption that you are capable of knowing. You are not. The amount of information you'll need to retain is too much.
Strive to get closer by asking better questions.

2025-03-18 07:49:08 GMT

To believe is the act of holding a made up answer for true, for whatever reason. To believe that no God exists is as believing a God exists.

If everything is verifiably true, then it can't be an ideology.
If it is an ideology, then part or all of it needs to be fiction.
Stop believing, embrace uncertainty. Keep all doors open, so you can receive information without being clouded by ideology.

You can extend your perception to interact with your environment much farther than is classically accepted.
Just as an excavator operator can feel the end of the excavator bucket, a race car driver can feel the car tires, or an ice skater can feel the steel cutting into the ice, you can perceive similar stimuli in extension of with we consider the physical confines of your neural network.
The discrepancy to explain this classically vs. holistically is that in the classical sense you are simply mechanically extended to feel the vibrations coming through the medium which you are touching, in a holistic sense you are one with what classically would be seen as the medium; it is part of you.
There is no proof for either, so we can't claim to know how this works exactly, but the holistic approach is a framework that has greater potential understanding and experimenting.

AI is a cross reference tool. Do not try use it to replace your own imagination. It does not produce art, because it doesn't have imagination. It can't autonomously prompt for itself, thus it can't produce new information. It is not creative, it can only mix and reproduce. It is an extension of our capabilities, a tool only!
It is deterministic, an algorithm. Humans are probabilistic, not algorithmic.
It is time we shed ourselves from the building materialist paradigm for good. AI is the perfect example for understanding why we are not machines.

The reason we have so many dumb influencers is because of social media and how it's used, the discovery process and the influence of algorithms. Click baiting, thumbnails, hype frame-words, emotional triggers to respond, sensationalism, reply engagement and the desire by a certain kind of person to want to become famous on the internet.
This leads to mediocre content, false hyped up information, unscientific interpretation, bad conclusions and scientism.

Bitcoin itself has a spherical dimension it will remain in, based on 10 min blocks and the speed of light. So it is possible Bitcoin exists in a similar form elsewhere, or will, but outside of 10 lightminutes it doesn't synchronize well enough anymore.

2025-02-19 14:43:39 GMT

As built according to protocol it has found its form. You can also think of it in terms of design criteria. Under conditions favorable to humans we see many design criteria being met in perfect form. A circle, a triangle, etc. Or a car, four wheels, front wheel steering, main brakes on the front wheels, all of which will not improve due to the conditions it is designed for. Or trees, root structure, stem, branches, photosynthesis with leaves or similar, this emerged by these design criteria so little will change unless conditions change.

2025-02-19 14:28:05 GMT

There is really only one absolute protocol in our universe and that is what we call the universe.
#Bitcoin is a result of this, an emergent property from the condition of the universe.

What we can learn from Frédérique Bastiat (1801-1850):
1. The idea that laws can make plunder (tariffs/taxes/debasement) legitimate if passed by the government is a fallacy.
2. Believing that the law is the source of rights (life, liberty, property), rather than a protector of pre-existing natural rights is a fallacy.
3. The belief that the state can give to its citizens without first taking is a fallacy.
4. Focusing only on the visible effects of policies (protectionism, interventionism, taxation, public spending) while ignoring the hidden consequences is a fallacy
5. The belief that the government can force people to be charitable and moral through laws is a fallacy.
6. The belief that government should control education for the sake of the public good is a fallacy.
7. The idea that war or protectionism stimulates the economy is a fallacy.
8. The belief that government can perfect society through legislation is a fallacy.
