#paradox

Every second I don't kill myself is wasted. I am so inefficient! I wish I could go back in time and kill my parents before I was born. It's like a #ReverseHitler. I think. Has anyone ever written that story? Someone traveling back in time to kill themselves? Then they wouldn't be around to travel back in time to kill themselves. It's a freakin' #paradox man! I am BLOWING MY OWN MIND, LITERALLY!

Hallo zusammen,

gibt es hier irgend jemanden der sich noch mit #Paradox und #scripting in #ObjectPAL auskennt? Ich muss gerade mal etwas an einer Anwendung ändern, die ich vor 25 Jahren zusammengebastelt habe und die leider immer noch verwendet wird (nicht von mir). Und ich habe leider keinerlei Handbücher oder ähnliches mehr, kann ja auch keiner ahnen, dass damit solange gearbeitet wird ...

Do you know the #Theseus’s #paradox?

The #Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus’s paradox, is a paradox that raises a question of #identity – whether an object which has had all its components replaced remains fundamentally the same object. The paradox is most notably recorded by #Plutarch in #Life of Theseus from the late 1st century.

Plutarch asked whether a ship which was restored by replacing all and every of its wooden parts, remained the same ship?

Please imagine in the near future it would be possible to simulate a complete human #brain with a #computer. Furthermore, it would be possible to scan any human brain and accurately transfer the state into the simulation.

What would this #simulation be? A copy of one's own #mind or would one be this copy?

#Paradox:
Das "Argument", man könne nicht zwei Institutionen gegenüber loyal sein, höre ich von Unionsabgeordneten immer nur bei der doppelten Staatsbürgerschaft, aber nie bei der Debatte um Nebeneinkünfte von Abgeordneten.

Key Note by Michael Christian, 2009

I love this one!

"Michael Christian makes the kind of #art that resonates with everyone. #Key #Note is my favorite #large #structure of the decade. It's made entirely from #locks -- all kinds of locks, from #bike locks to #padlocks. I can only image seeing this #eerie #man come into sight through the #dust #storms, #dragging the #large #key behind him. Michael states that the man is in search of another key, the right key, a #paradox of #life as we know it."__ http://matadornetwork.com/nights/12-coolest-art-installations-in-the-history-of-burning-man/?utm_source=tw&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=promo
