Episode 33: The Spirituality of RR: Wonder/Awe/Mystery/Sacredness
So last time I tried to develop with you the side of the plausibility argument I’m making and tried to give an account of central features of human spirituality and to try not to use that term therefore in a vague indefinite way. I made an argument for how relevance realization can explain many of the facets that are found within the normal attribution of human spirituality and I proposed a term ‘religio’ to cover all of those aspects of spirituality that can be explained by the machinery of relevance realization.
I am a stricler for possibility claims. The part where he thinks that deducing that from the difficulty of getting a perspective on death to deducde that consioucness is immortal I think is a very good grounded critique and explanation what robs people the wrong way in traditional religiousness. However there was a claim “no matter what one tries one can’t get a phenomenological perspective on being dead”.
One of the edge cases is that there is a live action show Upload where the protagonist was hosting his own funeral. This bypasses some of the things one might or or talk about. Sure they are a conciousness that has “hereness and nowness”, salience about who attends etc. So in that sense it is not. Also being in a mainframe has a good chance of having qualitatively different religio when compared with a neuron brain. But it could being these sense of “what it feels to not be me”, when you are a new person or a different kind of person then you can attain state that has epistemological value. Even with just biological brains it leaves the possibility of developing a multiplepersonality disorder in order to “kill” your starting personality. I guess this is partly why the goodbyes are said to the friend near Mr Robots ending, continuing the story without the architect would make the analog transfer less. Also the question on the feelings that the Doctor of Doctor Who goes when regeneration is about to onset. Is it proper to be sad? What is being forfeit that makes sadness a proper emotion?
Part of the promise of “psychotechnologies” is to get more “perspectival knowledge” via “serious play”. Does or does not partaking in those 3 afforementioned series as audience impact perspectival knowledge and is it different in a mattering way to the kinds of perspectival knowledges that are claimed to be impossible?
The idea of protecting against domicide seems to resonate with me with trying to live in a world that is essentially incompatible with ones neurotype.
What strikes me as odd that he is treating the threat as something that will offcourse be needed to defend against. I can understand that not defending against need for food will lead into starvation and cessation of biological burning. But so what if we are spiked by anxiety? He seems to treat it like an unviable mode of being. And by contrast I feel like “eh, learn to live with it rather than avoid it from occurring”
I have watched Dr K a bit and on need he will very quickly introduce the separation that whatever you are percieving can’t be you. Which I guess in an atempt to use Lesswrongian lingo would be “what is on the map can’t be the map” which I guess is just another aspect/iteration of “the map is not the territority”.
Episode 33: The Spirituality of RR: Wonder/Awe/Mystery/Sacredness
Religio is one of those terms that I never quite absorbed the meaning of and so was always a bit confused whenever he used it later on.
As this is a place where he defines it, it would seem that “Operating System” could be a close synonym.
I do think that the connotations of the word are quite far-fetched on what it is supposed to “technically mean”
