      If we cannot have any evidence for the number of universes in existence, it is logically wrong to have a nonzero confidence in the belief that there is only one. What would such evidence look like? Likewise, speculation about observers in other universes is pointless.

      We disagree merely about how we define the word "universe". I am sticking to the etymology of the word: uni+verse.

      Isn't it confusing to pick meaning for words that cannot have a referent with assignable truth values?

      Life is confusing :) There are many concepts for which truth values cannot be assigned. We try to do the best with what we have (language). Sometimes we convey meaning. It is easier to convey meaning when there is a human on the other side, and not a computer.

      But humans are computers. Just confused ones. Thinking should be used to reduce confusion, not to increase it :)

      We already disagreed about this Joscha :) I agree that thinking (via language) should reduce confusion. But communication between humans is ultimately about communicating experience, which may not be reducible to language i.e to computation.https://twitter.com/vakibs/status/940231746360152065?s=17 …

      I don't think any experience can be reduced to computation. There are two realities in this world: experience and computation. One helps the other, but neither can be reduced to the other..

      Yes, I know, the religious indoctrination of your culture broke your mind.

      No, I am just living in a computational universe, and I think Vakibs is not seeing it because his culture has given him an antimechanist null hypothesis that is anchored in a need for meaning

      I absolutely agree. It turn out that the humans are so confused that you must derive everything yourself
