He’s called Swampman. He lives on Bourbon Street, and not just during Mardi Gras. He’s there all year round. Maybe no everyday, but on many days. My migration from Wordpress slowed down because it does link to Tumblr. I think that I’m done with Instagram and thinking about leaving Facebook even though being there is like being in a digital telephone book. I have to think about it a little more.

15. Lo swampman e l'identità personale

In questa puntata, parliamo dell'esperimento mentale dello swampman di Donald Herbert Davidson. Un tizio di nome Gervaso viene colpito da un fulmine e ridotto in molecole.. che poi si ricompongono a formare un individuo uguale a Gervaso: stesso corpo, stesso cervello, stessi ricordi. Ma è davvero lui? --- Fonti e approfondimenti: - M'ama e non m'ama e l'identità personale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlRR2... - L'identità personale tra Bruce Wein, Batman e la nave di Teseo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeeQn... - https://tenbyignite.wordpress.com/202... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuKpR...

"what if there was a swampman and his life was completely meaningless"

#im sure this thought experiment makes some kind of meaningful claim but im just too dumb to see what important distinction is made here #just seems like davidson doesnt recognize thought and memory are physical structures in the brain that would also be replicated #so i dont really see a reason why he should say the swampman couldnt ''recognize'' anything or use meaningful language

It should be illegal to be this cute. Look at him. My boy. SwampMan Craig, Creator of Chaos in his yellow raincoat. Ugh 😭

You watch as a dragon rises up from the swampwater and he reaches out to you, claws covered in algae and murk.

He asks you to be his valentine.

Do you accept?

The Night-Bird’s Feather: Quote of the Day (146/365)

“Nothing wrong with dead people,” Valentina said. “Most of the family is, ah, what’s the thing?— dead. Right? And they’re pretty good people, too.”

- from Chapter Eight: Mrs. Senko, the Heron-Witch, and the Magic Dog

#nightbirdsfeather #girl's got a point tbh #who among us doesn't have a few dead people SOMEWHERE in the family tree? #shut up swampman #you're a thought experiment you don't count

The Swampman is doing her best, Donald Davidson.

#i have no background in philosophy but i'm inclined to side with the swampman #anyways this is the plot of my current writing project #prometheus alberta

aru sekai series is about time loops and saving the world? :0 oooooo so what happens in shuuen touhikou when they try to run for it? If its not too much to ask

asking about this series is never too much & im always happy to talk about it

shuuen touhikou is an escape idealization song as u might guess from the title being demise escape/flight from demise which ever u feel like using. important to note while it does have its ties to the fight or flight concept it kind of mixes both

the song itself builds on the "end" lyrics from aru sekai shoushitsu taking 『終・ヴァイラ 被覆は依然慰労「共生」/胸に青を基調と見えよ』"end: vira the coating is still in recognition of 'symbiosis'/ make the blue in the chest a keynote and watch it" and 『終・間 気流は塞ぐ音像裂開「共生」/胸に青を犠牲と捉えよ』 "end: space the airflow is the 'symbiosis' of closing the stereo audio fission/ sacrifice the blue in the chest and catch it" & just in case u didnt catch on to that from the title those lines are repeated at the end of the text in the opening of shuuen touhikou. aru sekai is more of an objective look at things where as shuuen touhikou is from a specific person's perspective from the middle of everything thats happening.

this person kind of complains throughout the song about the things theyre told, not believing them and thinking doing anything else would be better than sitting there waiting. quite literally 『祈って 只待って居ても/何も変わらない？其んな事は理解している！/依然 「償いは枷になる」と/然も、悔しそうに。』 "praying, and just staying here waiting/nothing's changing? well I can understand that!/ yet it was said 'recompense will become restraints'/ really, it's so frustrating." this person's had enough, devoted so many resources that they're running out of, and in the end no one's going to know if it worked until it's too late and the world starts to end again. its happened so many times in the past and they know this

so they weigh their options. they cant stand around waiting anymore. there has to be another way & they'll do anything, go anywhere to find it. their ideal manifests in the "city in the canyon" they talk about going to in the song but its pretty clear its less of an actual town and more of a fantasy safe place. nevertheless they take off running one night hoping to get there willing to go as far as they need to to find it (the song says 4 quintillion ri! which is way more than the circumference of the earth! apparently this is an actual journey that happened once but i lost the video hiiragima linked to without getting to watch it properly.) they've put all their effort into saving the world but now they're fighting with what energy they have left to escape it. they even relate it to a lottery, like they might get lucky by running away and really find a safe place.

in the end though it catches up with them, it wasn't enough, they never made it out & it starts raining (rain being the typical sign of the end in this series) & the song ends with them praying the whole thing could finally be over

it kind of seems like they expected that outcome anyway with the whole 「見切って逸そ、逃げてしまえたら。」 which is like "we'll never see the end of it if we could flee." the lines before talking about cause & effect of their actions so basically they know if they run they arent going to know what's been done that's worked or not and they're giving up their own chance at sharing that ending. & the running (ha) theme between the text & lyrics is the conflict between personal choice & what seems like an inescapable fate & if they'd been trying so hard time and time before, maybe breaking that chain would be enough to change fate but nothing worked so it doesn't really matter it's all just another repetition of the world

#asks #kukiyuuri #aru sekai series #hiimagu goto #its not a true time loop btw time /does/ pass and the people arent exactly the same every time #which has a whole big section in aru sekai explaining it & thats where swampman comes from #but thats its own post i think #mikitte isso nigeteshimaetara has got to be my favorite lyric in this song. really speaks to me. had to bring it up #theres still some confusing points for me between the aru sekai lyrics & how shuuen touhikou is presented #but given how the series is going we might get a tie in song like how oumen mokushiroku has unplanned apoptosis etc etc & itll clear up

Finally got to make up the swamp tongue and numerals getting them drawn up is gonna be a pain in the ass tho

hot takes on various thought experiments and logical paradoxen

trolley problem: i will just kill you dichotomies are a fantasy nothing is ever just two mutually exclusive things you are so annoyyyyiiiinnnggg

ok i googgled more thought experiments and i found this one i like it cuz the swamp element of this is kind of irrelevant to the rest of it but the guy kept it in anyway

Suppose lightning strikes a dead tree in a swamp; I am standing nearby. My body is reduced to its elements, while entirely by coincidence (and out of different molecules) the tree is turned into my physical replica. My replica, The Swampman, moves exactly as I did; according to its nature it departs the swamp, encounters and seems to recognize my friends, and appears to return their greetings in English. It moves into my house and seems to write articles on radical interpretation. No one can tell the difference. But there is a difference. My replica can't recognize my friends; it can't recognize anything, since it never cognized anything in the first place. It can't know my friends' names (though of course it seems to), it can't remember my house. It can't mean what I do by the word 'house', for example, since the sound 'house' it makes was not learned in a context that would give it the right meaning—or any meaning at all. Indeed, I don't see how my replica can be said to mean anything by the sounds it makes, nor to have any thoughts. -Donald Davidson
