The human brain is many, many orders of magnitude more complex than the sun.
Why, yes, that would be wild speculation.
What hierarchy of structure?
Nothing. There is no evidence for it and no evidence of a possible mechanism.
lmao really? the standard model is "no evidence" WOW.
the fact you don't understand/know the term " hierarchy of structure" means you are not bringing enough to the table. philosophy is cute and all, but in the end its bs. Good for practice in writing and organizing thoughts. If we have any that is. I could writting and spellering help.
Your line of logic has no reason to stop at "us". In fact, the only wild speculation is the geocentric notion that the earth is it and all there is. That nothing will emerge further as we learn more about the universe is silly based on all your posts.
We do know some of the mechanisms of earth. It is not a wild speculation to say it may be a "life form". It is accepted as "possible" You may not agree with it, but it aint "wild speculation". Also, people at MiT are looking at the possibility that we are really a data set within a larger data set. If you don't know this I would suggest you do something other than read philosophy. pick up a good textbook in one of the sciences. Physics is awesome stuff.
I really could care less if the universe is alive or not. But to hold to the notion "Everything we have the universe probably has more of" is far more reasonable, less "wild", than "nothing out there and we are it"
But we have people that think a book is the sole word of god. They are afraid too. So it is what it is I guess.
You clearly have not understood my posts.
What has any of this to do with the standard model?
And there are many "hierarchies of structure", but that wasn't the point - I wanted to know what one the poster was referring to .
And where the fuck did you come up with the notion that I said anything like nothing out there and we are it"?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
