Belief

I think your fridge analogy involves a failure to compartmentalize between different types of behaviors. For example, I can say that I am 100% certain that my friend wouldn't randomly punch me in the face (unprompted). But if he drew back and feinted a punch and I were to flinch you could say "If you were 100% certain why did you flinch?" But that's more of a reflex in response to stimulus than it is a deliberate act in accordance with a belief. If I sacrifice a goat because I believe a reality monster is going to reward me, that is a deliberate act in accordance with an articulated belief. So it's not quite the same. So, as it relates to your fridge analogy, you could be certain that there is no food in the fridge but in response to hunger you could check the fridge anyway out of compulsion. There could even be an element of conditioning involved. You're hungry. What do you do when you're hungry? You check the fridge. You know there's nothing in the fridge because you didn't buy any groceries. But you go to the fridge anyway because you've conditioned yourself to check the fridge when you're hungry. Reflex, compulsion, conditioning could all be considered "A-belief behavior." You can believe it's wrong to masterbate in public but if you're a compulsive masterbator you might end up doing it anyway.

Hym "Ha! Did a guy write a paper about that belief thing? The Jordan Peterson in reverse thing? Does my thing predate his? Probably. That's hilarious! How many PhDs would I have? More than David Buss? He had a lot... So... You know... Go forth! Make sure I have more PhDs than David."

Belief

A belief is. FIRST AND fOREMOST I'd like to state there are two realities. One being empirical the other being perceptual.. Based on facts and scientific theory not assumptions or wishful thinking but facts. The other is perceptual which is not founded by facts, unless used in biased confirmation . It's what one hopes to be true ,wishes or taught to be true, indoctrinated to accept as fact But the reality of a belief perceptual filter is its how you view it not what really is in fact. Beliefs are merely perceptual filters to view things to try to justify some experience you may or may not have had. People that say they know their belief is truth just means they've accepted that view despite any evidence to prove they are wrong Don't get me wrong beliefs can be useful for example. If it's cold outside but you step into the belief so immersed it's a warm sunny day . The unconscious mind will say Ok ill validate that belief And the placebo takes effect and yuu actually experience heat as if it were warm. A self hypnosis. Some people lose sight it is just a belief not a fact And get stuck In them. Losing their freewill. Freewill is being able to suspend your belief and look at things a different way like a scientist would there is truth how things actually are vs beliefs , how you personally view something to justify something you really don't know the answer to

I think reality is belief in what is to be. Andmy response is

what you wish or been taught to believe but there is actually whats happening which is backed by the scientific method

Religious Belief

No. It isn't.

Hym "Your relationship with words is just as hollow as Jordan Peterson's. And it doesn't need to be 'God-Like' to kill you all. Just just needs to be in your nukes... Which it is. And you paid 400 billion dollars to do it. And it isn't that I think it's inevitable, YOU THINK that you would be able to stop it. That is what this is about. You wanting to believe that you could stop anything. That's the religious belief. You taking the thing I said about your inability to do so and then operating on the counterfactual in the hopes that I'm wrong even if doing so causes the thing you want you to be able to stop. It's what you did with the weaponized schizophrenia school shootings and WHEN YOU FAILED... What did you do? Swept it until the rug. Pretended you didn't. And then you told me I failed. So you pretend and lie. And that's it. That's all you do. If pretending and lying DOESN'T stop the AI apocalypse... Then YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF DOING IT. So it isn't a religious belief. I'm the one who did it. I've already said it but I'll say it again: you're going to lie and pretend until you can't lie or pretend anymore and if that takes the form of a blinding flash in the distance it will be because and only because you did what to me what you are doing to me. So you bring this book faggot on your show to console you but he wouldn't fucking know. If HE the creator of AI? No. So how would he?"
