But wtf are all the geometric shapes supposed to represent? Does it mean kids' geometric play blocks are angels?

>>40683010
idk looks like some oil rig / base from MGS peace walker or something

Is it just utter bullshit? Does inscribing a pentagram have something to do with this?

Like you are 5?
People are animals, like dogs and cats. Flowers, trees and grass are called "plants".
Rocks, water, dirt, shoes, anything that stays still and doesn't move or change is called an "in-animate object" ("animate" means "to move", rocks don't move so we say they are "not-animate", putting "in" in front of a word is like saying "not").
All of these are made of little Legos called "atoms"
>What's an angel?
Something alive, like you and I, dogs and cats, sheep and so on, but they aren't made out of "atoms" in the same way we are.

When you build with Legos, how do you know where each piece should go? That's what an angel is like, the instruction book, or the idea in your head about what you want to build, but unlike a book they are alive, and only "become built" when they want to be built.

read the Ainulindale, it will answer your question.

Rocks do move

>Rocks do move
True. The boundary between animate and inanimate is a temporal illusion. On longer timescales everything grows and writhes and decays as if driven by a purposeful vitalism

>>40683218
This is actually pretty good, cheers

Bump.

Change and strife is the mover of the universe. Material beings make a connection to this immaterial change and strife. A realization of this connection allows human beings to transcend the beingness of other beings and live in their own being, Dasein. I don't know what the shit is after that, I think it's nonsense and only meant to superficially seem 'cool'. If you are interested I suggest you read Heraclitus's Fragments, Aristotle, and Heidegger

are you a bot or an idiot?
there's literally a thread up on this
>>>40680826
at this point im convinced eli5 is just a tag for ai training
it was fun at first when people were breaking down complex topics or niche specializations
now its just an excuse for npc's who cant think abstractly to get real humans to train their data sets

>>40684737
At least I'm not a dick

>>40684770
why dont you share your thoughts with the class on what the image means to YOU based on your knowledge, experience, and research, instead of helplessly hoovering up information of people who have tried while contributing nothing of value to the discussion?

>>40684781
I have in my responses to other, sensible people within this thread

>>40685030
here's a (you) for training the ai

Thanks for the bump!
