Probabilistic Automaton Puns

so this struck as an unappealing conceit in the premises of Hillary Putnam's 'machine state' functionalism. From The Philosophy of Mind, Chapter 10, the mind is described as 'defined similarly to a Turing Machine, except that the transitions between ‘states’ are allowed to be with various probabilities rather than being ‘deterministic’ (Of course, a Turing Machine is simply a special kind of Probabilistic Automaton, one with transitional probabilities 0, 1).'

I'm aware that this is somewhat of an aesthetic gripe and is not indicative per se of whether or not functionalism is a satisfactory theory of mind, but it seems to me that Putnam is contriving towards a strained equation of mind to a type of machine – or rather, two things which are qualitatively different, a deterministic system and a non-deterministic system. It doesn't seem like good scientific practice to attribute something like randomness to a system to make it seem qualitatively similar to another system which is better understood in order so that the former system may be treated as a case of the latter. I may describe gravity as a force that accelerates bodies towards mass, I would never describe gravity as a force that has a 100% chance of accelerating bodies towards mass.

what are your thoughts?

Just a little background: I'm not new to psychedelics, I've tripped numerous times on several different substances including but not limited to 4-AcO-MET, 4-HO-MET, and proscaline. I've tripped on this particular batch of 4-AcO-MET several times over the last 6 months, and it was always... well, a pretty typical psychedelic experience.

This trip however was different. As per usual, I didn't feel a whole lot until about an hour and a half after putting the powder under my tongue, when the body load started becoming noticeable. After that, I got a little bit of the usual visuals, mostly "breathing" and shifting effects, but nothing too stunning - almost no geometry to speak of. After about two and a half hours I was feeling underwhelmed with the effects, so I smoked about half of a .75g 1:1 THC:CBD joint I had, at which point the effects started to become a lot more pronounced. There was still barely any geometry whatsoever, but the breathing and shifting became much more intense and disorienting, especially in the periphery of my vision; the headspace was also odd, cold, almost dissociative in nature - I felt disconnected from my body and to some extent the experience itself, as if I was issuing commands to move while keeping my mind rigidly structured to keep things under control.

Then I sat down and started watching a video. I can't remember what it was about, because my mind really wasn't on it; the visuals still weren't particularly crazy, but the headspace was really cranking itself up by more than a few notches. I began to get what I can only describe as "internal" visuals, even with my eyes open - I wasn't really paying attention to the real world, and it looked relatively normal. I pause the video.

Internally, however, this is where things started to get a bit interesting. My internal view was composed of a grid, which I could tell was space at the atomic/molecular scale. It feels almost like my internal view is "zooming out" - first I see an atom, then two atoms, and so on and so on until I see a whole molecule... it's a protein! Internal view keeps zooming out - more proteins, and everything is still in this sort of wireframe/ball-and-stick representation on the grid. Keeps zooming out until I can see an entire cell... oh, that's a neuron, and now it's two neurons, and now a bunch of neurons, all in this wireframe representation on a grid. It keeps zooming out until eventually, things start to get even weirder.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

At work, I have a workstation.

edit: cheers u/cheer_up_richard

When I got home, they were still there.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

I won't be doing that today!

Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
