Three Questions

[Khandro]

With Brexit out of the way (?!) can we now turn to more momentous issues? I refer to those posed by St Augustine in reference to Creation; Who made it? By what means? & Why?

Theland, I understand totally what you are trying to say. I just don't agree.

[naomi24]

I wish I understood totally what Theland is trying to say.

[pixie374]

Now... that everything that comes from a mind, is 'information'.
Previously, that information can 'only' come from a mind.
So, the goalposts have changed....
Theland has decided on his own definition, whether it is true or not. But quite honestly, even if he gave one actual example, I'm not sure what it would prove...

[Theland]

Then Pixie, with great respect, we can just respect each other's opinions.
Maybe come back to this from scratch on a new thread?

[pixie374]

Whatever you like x

[Theland]

Post Script - Pixie - As far as I am concerned, the goalposts have not moved.
My assertion is that all information originates in a mind.
That's me exhausted for now.

[naomi24]

Why do you need a new thread to talk about the same thing?

[pixie374]

I know theland, but you are unable to give one example, even though "all of it does".
And are including things that aren't actually "information," as well...
I haven't yet seen one example from you of information that has originated in a mind, only the processing of it...
But anyway, good night xx

Ah, the old youtube ploy.
Theland, you theory was destroyed at 1:37.
"In the beginning was information", so before man, and his mind arrived, the first thing was information so it couldn't have developed inside a brain.

From yet another purpose-built organisation.

Shouting vitriolic abuse at people you disagree with on social media whilst the planet burns is an excellent distraction from the impending horrific reality of Mrs. Brown’s Boys Christmas Special.

The one and only thing I asked theland, was "not a YouTube" link. If you understand and believe it, I am quite happy to hear your views on why. If you can't make enough sense of it to do that, then I definitely won't!

Every road sign is information.
It did not get there by accident.

//Every road sign is information.

I question that assertion. If it weren't for 'accidents' many road signs would be unnecessary.

[naomi24]

The council has a lot to answer for.

[Theland]

Two good answers :-)

What is the opinion of programmers on AB?

I say information comes from an intelligence, a mind.

That includes coding either computing or biological.
