Godel's constitutional theorem

>Why do you think that collecting evidence from experiments leads to truth though?

I don't, but I find that it produces results that are instrumental, and I assume that the past behaves analogously to the future, and similar situations behave similarly because this has generally been true in my experience.

>Why should we undertake it?

I'm religious, so certain science is useful to me in accomplishing my goal of attaining heaven.

>These are questions of philosophy, no experiments can answer them.

I agree.

The difference is that you do not experience ghosts, but you do experience conciousness.

>If consciousness was not physical then where is it?

We can invert this and ask, if physicality is not ideal, then how do we come to know it?

>Surely there's only two options: the physics we know and the physics we don't know?

The third option is that physics is unable to interrogate itself.

>We are able to track down and physically explain (thanks to MRI) the sentation, the objective part of consciousness (Chalmers's 'easy problems of consciousness'). That really exist and we can prove it (or we have an idea about experiments to run to prove it)

What we prove is an evidence that is filtered through our sensory faculties and experienced by our minds. Our minds still remain judge, jury and executioner and in this same sense if we are to take seriously the faculties of our minds in assessing the physical world, then we must also take seriously our experience of conciousness which remains even when we are unable to sense the physical world. In this sense our experience of conciousness is more real than our looking at an MRI.

>then we do not need to think subjective experience really exist.

What would follow is that you do not need to think subjective experiences exist for others, but for you to make this assessment you at least must have a subjective experience.

We can construct an analytical language to interrogate these claims, but that wouldn't change the underlying fact that it is not physics or math.

>There's no evidence that consciousness is anything other than a state arising from the physical processes in our bodies

Actually this is backward, "I think therefore I am". There's no reason to believe consciousness is a state arising from a physical process, our experience of consciousness precedes our experience of sensory input and therefore the physical world.

There is more evidence for the reality of consciousness than there is for the physical world, in fact we know for a fact that our understanding of the physical world is aberrational.

edit: evidently alot of empiricists aren't very happy with this comment hahaha

>When a philosophy has enough proofs and credibility, it becomes a science

I completely disagree with this notion of science. To me science is the practice of analysing findings from controlled experimentation and then deriving predictive, reproducible and falsifiable hypotheses.

I'm well aware the physics is just 'natural philosophy', that doesn't make it anymore reasonable to start using it as the tool for metaphysics. It's a clear category error, like trying to use food chemistry to elucidate cognitive psychology in a literal sense.

What's the deal with these things being lumped in with physics? This isn't physics this is just regular philosophy with some scientific sounding language. I feel like this is people reaching for religion but not wanting to admit it to themselves.

Wouldn't it be easier to have it transpile to Crystal? The languages are already extremely similar

Don't go through freelance sites, use Discord and Telegram 'market' communities. I also managed to get some success advertising my CAD skills on moneromarket.io (not affliated)

We're having the same situation in the UK rn

Absolutely do not get a loan, especially in this economy. You can very easily end up condemning yourself to years of what is effectively slavery. You would be better off just accepting your situation and finding freelance work through connections, flipping stuff on ebay, doing gig work etc.

When I was out of career-work I managed to get some minimum-wage programming jobs by targetting crypto groups and I ended up starting an ebay side-business that still brings in about 300 USD/m for not much work. My CoL is very low so that pays for everything except food for me, that's one of the advantages of moving to a low CoL area.

>If the job market is ostensibly so great, why can't I manage to find anything?

It's not, they're falsifying the numbers by double-counting people who are having to get multiple jobs to survive. The economy is totally broken right now, this is worse than what caused 2008.

but GIMP can, score one for open source!
