@@KaneB thank you for the work you have been doing. As a physics student you have given me so many deep insights on the ideas we generally encounter in Physics.
Great content as always! Do you happen to know why the author called this structure "Humean"? I wouldn't think Hume could have defended such a thesis himself, or at least not by using the terms "neighborhood" or "spacetime". I may be very wrong tho, just curious! Thanks a lot!
It's "Humean" because it denies that there is any irreducible modality. It's inspired by Hume's denial of necessary connections between distinct things.
Out of the 100 albums Zappa released, I only own 48 of them… Do I really need all of them before I will understand modal logic? I get off Lewis’s train of thought a few stops before it arrives at the ‘All possible worlds necessarily exist’ destination. But I must admit, I stopped understanding what train I was actually on pretty soon after it got moving.
@8OO8132 0 seconds ago Phyicalism seems to incorporate ideas it would have previously dismissed. Fields for example, spooky action at a distance, relatiivism. It’s probably resisting ideas right now that it will eventually incorporate and say “yeah nah bro that can just be explained by this mathematical equation you’re not smart enough to understand”.
A channel possesses the following of the Human Mosaic Volume: The sheer quantity of content produced. Velocity: The forcefulness of its appeal, ranging from attention-grabbing tactics to intellectually stimulating material. Variety: The diversity of content and how often it shifts, which can be rapid or gradual. Just as viewers can assess if a traditional channel is worth subscribing to, individuals interact with the massive data flow of the modern world. This interaction is becoming increasingly complex. Currently, our reliance on digital modes of representation often prioritizes visual input (the ocular nerve). This reflects a survival-based bias. However, as data centers expand, they could potentially accommodate a wider range of sensory experiences and ways of being. This shift moves us away from the dominant empirical/rational model of understanding the world as a mode that supervenes physicalism or is identical to physicalism to a paradigm of syncretic naturalism or pan psychic realism. So a twitching nerve is an instance of a conscious property of space/time that can be captured through big data and represented as velocity for example. As big data transforms human experience of the world so to it would seem the Mosaic typological referents that fuse digitalis to forms of naturalism hence syncretic naturalism.
I think that a Humean Mosaic can exist in the infinite-dimensional configuration space of quantum mechanics, instead of the normal 3D space. The only fundamental physical property would be "the amplitude of the universal wavefunction". That would make things compatible with entanglement and other quantum stuff.
Yes unfortunately physics has in a painstaking struggle over the last 50 or so years established that the world we live in cannot possibly be described with a theory that has the very few reductive properties of the "humean mosaic" as you introduce it (with physical properties attached to space-time, locally, and only connected with those properties elsewhere causally).
i don't understand why abandon causation though, the existence of causation has no bearing on whether physicalism is true or not, and views of laws of nature that rely in essential causal powers in the entities and properties of the universe is the best account of laws of nature imo, and it's perfectly compatible with physicalism, and gives you a way better account of counterfactuals that depend on laws of nature than anything Lewis attempts to provide.
a) Humean supervenience doesn't force you to abandon causation; the point is to reduce it, not to eliminate it b) The core part of Lewis' analysis of counterfactuals is independent of Humean Supervenience; and it is compatible with dispositional essentialism c) The point is to show how various manifest image phenomena (free will, perception etc.) fit into a bare bones non-modal world, which allows us to be compatibilistic physicalists even if future physics provides us richer resources to reconstruct these phenomena
@@kmerczerwony1739 I am talking about causation as a necessitation relation between two distinct things, which is exactly what is being denied in Humean supervenience. When i was talking about counterfactuals i was talking about Lewis's analysis of causation as dependent on counterfactuals, this is not compatible with analyzing counterfactual truth by appealing to what would happen given the necessary causal relations, i was saying that theories like dispositional essentialism give us a better account of laws and causation than reductive Humean supervenience, and these theories are compatible with physicalism, so it's strange to rely on Humean Supervenice as a starting point for defending physicalism when there are better alternatives.

Dude this is the GOAT philosophy UA-cam channel. It's a shame so many other pop philosophy channels have so many more subs.
Thanks!
It’s genuinely unfair that channels like “philosophy tube” have more subscribers than this. Who shouts loudest I guess right?
@@attackdog6824 I want to see Kane become a Destiny orbiter lol.
Whut? Why?

Well explained
Is Kane up for UA-cam tenure yet? Way past due.

There actually are more fundamental relations like the relationship between the viewer and liking and commenting

Schizophrenia rules!
@@robert9016 A rule in that sense might be moving from rigid stories about ourselves to flexible perspectives of self over time.

In the first minute and 30 seconds the guy’s premise is scientifically inaccurate lol.
Which one?
So... The teleportation paradox?
Great, I learned the new name for it.
