What are you thinking about right now?
Truth or Happiness?
author=narcodis link=topic=1618.msg25635#msg25635 date=1217310350
We were given a question to discuss as a class. Suppose there is a machine, and this machine, when you are hooked up to it, will suspend you in a state of infinite bliss. You never feel unhappy. You never feel without pleasure. You never feel bored. You never feel sad, lonely, angry, or afraid. You are always happy and content when in this machine.
Sounds boring. I'd switch classes.
Chronology of the Last Era
Found a bug, on the train you can't walk back over the tops of the cars, you can only walk forward. Annoying especially after I wanted to go back and get that stuff under guard that I had seen.
Truth or Happiness?
Finding truth and understanding it are two different things. The capital T "Truth" cannot be proven or known, but it can be understood by people who choose to seek it. This is why things make sense, because there is an ontological Truth about everything, that we can't know for sure (because of the flaws of human perception) but that we can begin to understand (thanks to human reason) if we decide to trust in its presence. Of course, an absence of any ontological truth, truth outside the existence of the perciever, means that to the perciever, they are the only legitimate agent in the universe, and then things like morality, empathy, and science pretty much lose thier base and go out the window.
That having been said, the search for Truth is an ongoing, asymptotic affair, where in you always approach it but never reach it. I think someone once said, "Those who seek the truth are intellectuals, and those who claim to have found it are fanatics."
If searching for the truth is something that makes a person happy, I don't see why they can't have it both ways.
