Among all those magnitudes surrounding us value is the most variable one!
vertigo said:Value is subjective, by the way. An object's value is only defined in the context of a specific subject. You speak of value as though it's absolute.
Dissident Dan said:Experiences always have value. Period.
p-brane said:If one assigns value to the experience of value, it is valuable.

Dissident Dan said:What the hell?
p-brane said:Please feel free to clarify your remark.
Dissident Dan said:Haha. Actually, that's what I was looking for out of you. What is "the experience of value", as opposed to just experience? And if you are experiencing already of value, why would the experience require someone to assign value to it to be valuable, when there is already value there?
You are not a computer?Dissident Dan said:My proposition is that experience is itself valuable. This is not something that can be proven through sentences. A computer will never know the value of experience.
loseyourname said:I was asking p-brane. It's hard to see any validity in asking what the value of value is, because you can then simply ask what the value is of each new level of value, ad infinitum.
I agree with you, by the way.

Dissident Dan said:In fact, the whole idea of "understanding" doesn't have any meaning to me except in the context of sentient beings. Even without worrying about what constitutes understanding, a nonsentient object, such as a Terminator, could only operate with the data that emotions are some biological states that result in behavior--it could not have the data of what the emotion really is.
Dissident Dan said:Subjective states. I cannot explain it in words,
which is related to the fact that the Terminator cannot understand it. .
You can only know of experience by experiencing
p-brane said:What the f is a termitator? Is it a potato that terminates after one season?
Knowing is an experience too. Therefore one must be able to experience knowing to experience experience, is that what you're saying?
The most variable magnitude surrounding us is the weather. This includes changes in temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure.
The variability in weather can greatly impact our daily lives. It can affect our ability to travel, our outdoor activities, and even our health. Extreme weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and heat waves can also have a significant impact on our communities and economy.
Yes, there are many other factors that contribute to variability in our surroundings. These can include natural phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and ocean currents, as well as human activities such as land use changes and pollution.
Scientists use a variety of tools and techniques to measure and track variability in our surroundings. These can include weather stations, satellites, and sensors that collect data on different environmental parameters. Scientists also use computer models to analyze and predict changes in our surroundings over time.
Yes, changes in variability can have long-term effects on our environment. For example, a prolonged period of drought can lead to desertification and loss of biodiversity. Changes in ocean currents can also have far-reaching effects on weather patterns and marine ecosystems. It is important for scientists to monitor and study variability in order to better understand its potential impacts on our environment.
