look at that fucking gleeful "oh ho ho" shit face Ralsei makes if you turn off Flowery's voice clips

hater Ralsei is best Ralsei

[blessedmulligan-blog]

I'm still not entirely onboard the transfem ralsei train (though there's clearly some kind of genderfuckery going on with them) but it's canon enough that you really need to be thinking about whose art you he/him them on nowadays

How exactly does one become a priest in the Deltarune universe? Who runs that church?

[cryptotheism]

Like there's no way that Deltarune Christmas actually involves Christ. Judging by the Holiday family, it's a culture. Like you can be Christmas-American in Deltarune world.

every time i read some ethnography stuff about villagers (h-g's, agriculturalists, it doesnt matter) i am reminded of how bad it is to live in a village. your PARENTS or your INLAWS get to TELL YOU WHAT TO DO (who to marry!!!). everyone is in your BUSINESS. if you try to just leave you will probably DIE. it sucks!!!!! i am so glad we don't live in villages!!! rootlessness SWEEP

slaves who cannot accept that they exist in the same world as transsexuals and that they aren't allowed to harm transsexuals get chained up and stored in the basement until it is time for them to be used. if they really really cannot accept that they aren't allowed to continue terfing, they will be lobotomized and blinded to protect them from having to see transsexuals.

One of the stranger response a post of mine has ever gotten

[youzicha]

One response to Gödel incompleteness is to postulate iterated consistency statements: instead of just PA one can work in PA+CON(PA)+CON(PA+CON(PA)), etc. Alan Turing’s phd thesis was about iterating this process transfinitely many times. I think at least the first few steps are usually considered unproblematic, we “know” PA is consistent, so we may as well postulate it.

But just consistency is not enough for this to be sound. Someone on mathoverflow pointed out this counterexample: If T is some consistent logical theory, then by Gödel’s incompleteness theorem T+¬CON(T) is consistent too. However, CON(T+¬CON(T)) implies CON(T), so T+¬CON(T)+CON(T+¬CON(T)) is not consistent. It feels pretty paradoxical, a theory that is consistent only as long as it doesn’t know it is…

I’m not sure what the philosophical implications are (any references to discussion is welcome). It would be a pretty funny cosmic joke if PA was consistent but PA+CON(PA) was not.

[jadagul]

I feel like a lot of issues with Gödel stuff resolves itself when you drop the whole concept of “truth” from the situation.

(This is why I take issue with saying PA “is” consistent—you can prove its consistency under a number of axiom systems, I think including ZF, but that’s passing the buck to those systems.)

So what this says is, if you have a system of tools T that can’t generate a contradiction, we know by Gödel that T+¬CON(T) is also a tool system that can’t generate a contradiction. But if you add in another tool of course you get more degrees of freedom, and more potential to generate a contradiction somehow.

[youzicha]

I feel that only shifts the problem to the other half. Like sure, if you stop thinking about truth then it’s not weird that one set of axioms is contradiction-free and another one isn’t. But then it is instead mysterious why Turing thought he could unproblematically postulate that infinitely long series of axioms! :)

[jadagul]

I don’t see why it would be problematic. You can postulate whatever axioms you want!

The question is whether this models anything useful, and the answer is, obviously, “No, once the word ‘transfinite’ shows up you’re definitely not modeling anything useful.”

[king-of-men]

It’s much easier to just drop the assumption that every number has a successor; that’s an empirical approximation good enough for describing, like, grains of sand on a beach, but not actually useful for anything. And then the whole incompleteness thing drops right out because of course it relies on unphysically large quantities.

[jadagul]

Sure, you can go with finitism. The problem isn’t that it doesn’t work; the problem is that it’s a lot of extra effort to solve fake problems. You never have to worry about those issues in any real problem so you can just go ahead and axiomatically assume they never come up at all.

If you just go ahead and let the natural numbers be infinite, the real numbers be complete, and every set have a choice function, you get to avoid making a lot of really fiddly arguments and don’t lose much of anything.

minor deltarune chapter 5 spoilers under the cut!!

so i haven't fully beat chapter 5 yet, i've been having trouble beating the final boss (thank you for that patch toby i really needed it), but i just wanna say that while i have always loved ralsei, he has become significantly more precious to me after this chapter. i did not know i needed an angry, mean, jealous ralsei, but god did i need it. that is my son (possibly daughter in the future), he can do nothing wrong, i adore him with all my heart, i'm so proud of him and his cool new fire spell, and i think he should be allowed to kill people

also he's really cute when he's angry. i wanna squish him like a gummy i love!! ralsei!!!!!!!

straight up this looks like ai generated gay porn

i like when the ralsei gets mean

[feralratbitesu]

since ralsei is a girl now they will be adding a new tumblr sexyman aplicable character to deltarune. they will be 5'5 and blond and annoying. with trauma

which entity generates the phenomenon you experience as consciousness?

my network of neurons generates consciousness as emergent behavior.

each of my neurons is individually conscious.

all physical matter is conscious.

consciousness comes from somewhere outside the physical universe.

disagree with all of these?
