Philosophy Discussion Forums | A Humans-Only Club for Open-Minded Discussion & Debate
Humans-Only Club for Discussion & Debate
A one-of-a-kind oasis of intelligent, in-depth, productive, civil debate.
Topics are uncensored, meaning even extremely controversial viewpoints can be presented and argued for, but our Forum Rules strictly require all posters to stay on-topic and never engage in ad hominems or personal attacks.
Use this philosophy forum to discuss and debate general philosophy topics that don't fit into one of the other categories.
This forum is NOT for factual, informational or scientific questions about philosophy (e.g. "What year was Socrates born?"). Those kind of questions can be asked in the off-topic section.

Are we now describing our map, not the territory? Emergent behaviours are unexpected and unpredictable, but isn't that because we humans just don't *understand*? Our reductionist approach to understanding pretty much everything, detaches and discards so very many connections*, it isn't really surprising to discover that they (the connections) had a role to play, is it? Emergence really could be that simple.
Curious what you mean by the connections. Are you speaking of entanglement or something else?
