3.2 KiB
Raw Blame History

Website

What I want is a complete revamp. Not so much style-wise, but content-wise.

Technical improvements:

  • auto-generate categories
  • template for "being worked on"

Here's what I want to express:

Reflections

Needs a better name.

Anatta, Anicca, Dukkha

Anatta

Main problem: phenomenology. What do you mean with "atman"?

Anicca

Time theory. Changing of sensations. Merely practical point?

Dukkha

Attitude. Wireheading.

Causality

What is causality? Does it exist? Does "epiphenomenal" make any sense?

Christ Myth [0/3]

Mapping all the major arguments.

  • arguments pro/con, with strength
  • collect sources
  • compare with similar figure - Socrates

Crucifixion

Not nearly detailed enough. Needs more research, I guess?

Dennett's ConExp [0/2]

  • reread
  • more detailed criticism (probably only meaningful after a basic zombie article is up)

Free Will [0/3]

  • Determinism / Quantum Mechanics
  • Freedom Evolves
  • Why care at all? Dissolving the question.

Great Filter [0/4]

This is mostly a literature review. Only my likelihood estimates are by me.

  • Hanson
  • Katja
  • Past Filters
  • Future Filters

Julian Jaynes

That'll take some effort to clean up. :)

Memes

Letting Go of Music

Needs a complete revamp. Totally broken, but interesting point, I think. Can be rescued.

Memetic Hazards

Also note depression.

Logic and Math are Lies [0/3]

Ok, polemical enough. :D

  • problems with Classical Logic
  • against infinites
  • against the axiom of choice

Moral Theory

Is there anything besides preferences?

Unity of Knowledge and Action?

Falsifications
  • there is instrinsic value
  • preferences don't exist
  • through some magic all beings have the same terminal preferences

Occam's Razor

Which Razor to use? What's "simpler"? Depends on prior. Complexity prior (code? data?). Kolmogorov. Pragmatic.

On Purpose

Phenomenology

Justification

Always being right.

Unbroken Consciousness
Indexing Problem

Survey, Gospel

Better organization, but always nice to have a short overview.

Why Gnosticism?

Dissolving the attraction from 1st/3rd person phenomenology.

Zombies and Algorithms and Qualia, oh my!

Only One Quale
What about Physicalism?
Zombie Argument by Chalmers

Experiments

Concentration [0/7]

  • caffeine
  • fat, protein, sugar
  • exercise
  • st. john's wort
  • sunlight
  • tyrosine
  • meditation metta, vipassana (all kinds), zazen

Happiness [0/8]

  • medication
  • metta
  • gratitude
  • cbt / rationality
  • vipassana
  • sunlight
  • exercise
  • food (sugar, fat)

Language Learning[0/4]

  • SRS (cloze deletion!)
  • immersion
  • bilingual vs. monolingual
  • material

Sleep [0/3]

  • Polyphasic sleep, biphasic sleep
  • caffeine
  • random hacks

Speed-Reading

Essentially fine, just proofread it and put a stronger qualification on it.

SRS [0/4]

  • usefulness
  • one deck / multiple decks
  • card design
  • random hacks

Software

Main problem: content. I just don't program that much recently. Still, might demonstrate some minor stuff.
