So in Star Wars they explain the Sith as drawing from negative emotion and the Jedi beings stoics, but that doesn't seem like it covers the full spectrum. So I have a question to ask all you Star Wars nerds: are there force uses that instead draw on POSITIVE EMOTIONS? Are there tag team force abilities powered by friendship? Can you levitate yourself up with joy? Are there any twee jedi wearing bright pastel colored clothes and carrying pink lightsabers instead of dressing like a monk or an edgelord, going around the galaxy protecting people with force powers fueled by love and compassion like they're Sailor Moon? I think there's untapped potential here.
My line of thought is that a Russellian theory of meaning is kind of baked into the idea of a classification problem, and that class membership of real world things doesn't always behave as discretely as Russell would have liked.
Found myself wondering about an interesting philosophical problem with some of the assumptions of machine learning, which led me to an interesting philosophy stackexchange thread: https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/40581/on-wittgensteins-family-resemblance-and-machine-learning
Sufficiently advanced research is indistinguishable from magic.
@starbreaker I mean, that’s why I’m here
New to mastodon! This place seems like a weird fusion of 2009 reddit and 2018 Twitter, I’m pleased
