@green So it's actually an incredibly well-done adaptation imo. Emphasizes a totally different set of points to make it work better as a film, without losing the same core. Also it is absolutely beautifully shot and edited.
@green I personally don't think sapir-whorf could ever give me wings, but it's damn nice to think about :)
@green yesss, and seen Arrival :D
@starkatt I typically stand with Kant here: time, space, causality, etc are all necessary preconditions on our experiences, filters that we cannot perceive the world without
@Jssra Formalized philosophically or mathematically?
Related: my subjectivity has free will.
The states of The Universe in its totality does not.
There's no contradiction there.
Add "time is fake" to the category of "philosophical positions profoundly influenced by my experiences of dissociation".
The only reason we think of causality as moving forward in time is that we subjectively experience time as flowing in that particular direction.
There's no a prori reason to say that event A causes later event B. It's equally logically possible that B is causing A.
Really though I find it more meaningful to say that directional causality is a hoax and time is a static series of connected relationships.

@typhlosion The irony is that labor unions are what made their glorious imagined time of American Manufacturing as good for middle-class folks as it was.
@starkatt if you photoshop the date off the script and send it that works too <3
I wore the contacts for ~two hours, then took them out for hours ago.
My eyes still ache.
They weren't even that bad while they were in.
:/
@thefishcrow yuuuup.
Like okay sure getting up-to-date lens strengths is good.
But I am confident that the which particular lenses optometrists have you try on and then write a prescription for is more a function of marketing than anything else.
