If you believe in Integrated Information Theory & Mathematical Platonism, doesn't this imply the existence of a world soul? Like almost exactly what Plotinus, Plato and Pythagoras were talking about? and the existence of the soul outside the physical world.

Plato is to midwits what Marx is to dimwits

Have some respect for people what are far superior to you in basically every way.

>>24642437
I do, and none of them are platonists. Read Bergson or Whitehead if you want serious metaphysics in a western context, or the Taoists for an eastern one.

>>24642467
is there crossover between bergson and whitehead? i've always respected whitehead but i cant seem to find myself "into" bergson, the distinction between durée and time doesnt seem important and "creative evolution" seems like a bad attempt at somekind of a secular god, a dedeified deity

>>24642467
isn't whitehead a platonist?

>>24642467
Whitehead's fine, but Bergson is midwit central

>>24642527
Wrong. Bergson is profoundly original and thus misunderstood, most people don't read past Creative Evolution if they read him at all

>>24642467
>Taoists
Confirmed monkey shit eater. Read Chaan.
