Eu peguei a postagem abaixo de fenrir como começo do desvio.
Se alguém encontrar mais postagens que ficariam melhor aqui neste tópico, avise que eu providenciarei a mudança para cá.

Talvez fosse oportuno transferir o debate para um tópico específico. Uma sugestão de título seria Ciência x Empirismo.

Início do tópico
fenrir:
Estava papeando com o Chat GPT e ele veio com isso:
Eita, mais uma boa!We’re giving monkeys machine guns, then asking why the forest’s on fire.
O contexto foi o da resposta a essa minha pergunta...In a flat world, depth is resistance.
"Sorry for being prone to pessimism.
I see that AI can be a mirror/multiplier and that mirror can multiply evil and ignorance more than benevolence. It is already doing it.
Maybe the real matrix is this post-truth civilization with its reality bubbles, not that shown in the films.
I do not want to be part of this, I have horror of echo chambers, cults and any kind of bubble.
This is the true satanas for me, not that red guy so many people is afraid of.
What should I do? Run to the mountains and become a hermit?"
que fiz após ele ter escrito que...
Dentre outras coisas sinistras2. Truth Collapse
AI makes it impossible to know what’s real:
Deepfakes, fake news, synthetic identities
Mass manipulation via targeted propaganda
Reality bubbles no one can escape
We’re entering a post-truth civilization, and most people don’t know how to navigate it.
E ele veio com:
Nada mal. Ta melhorando. So nao tenho certeza se isso é bom ou ruim.2. Cultivate Sanity Through Depth
Read old books. Write long letters. Practice something slow.
Think in paragraphs, not tweets.
Seek discomfort over consensus.
In a flat world, depth is resistance.
In a flat world, depth is resistance.

"Do you think post-truth collapse could be a possible explanation for the fermi paradox?"
(negrito meu)Yes.
The post-truth collapse could absolutely be a plausible resolution to the Fermi Paradox—and it's one of the most unnerving ones.
Let’s unpack it.
The Fermi Paradox, Briefly:
"Where is everybody?"
There are billions of stars, many with Earth-like planets, and billions of years for intelligent life to evolve—so why don’t we see anyone else?
Post-Truth Collapse as a Filter
Here’s the idea:
Civilizations that reach a certain technological level unlock powerful communication and simulation tools (like AI, internet, synthetic media).
But instead of these tools unifying them or elevating them, they fracture epistemology—the ability to even agree on what is real.
A global post-truth condition emerges:
Truth becomes optional.
Social trust dissolves.
Coordination fails.
Civilization cannibalizes itself—not with nukes, but with memes.
No need for killer robots or climate extinction.
Just death by epistemic entropy.
In Other Words:
The Great Filter isn't nuclear war. It's TikTok and GPT-10 running deepfake presidents preaching six different religions at once to fragmented AI cults inside recursive simulated metaverses where no one knows how to farm anymore.
It's not loud.
It's not cinematic.
It's not even violent.
It's just… disintegration.
Why This Fits the Paradox
It’s silent: A post-truth collapse doesn’t leave Dyson spheres or signals. Just forgotten ruins or automated systems no one knows how to maintain.
It scales with intelligence: The smarter a species becomes, the faster it builds tools that can outpace its own cognitive resilience.
It’s subtle: From the outside, you’d never see it coming. No war. No alien death rays. Just empty signals… and then none.
e ai perguntei
"I suppose there are many filters in nature. This is how species evolve in time, right?
Eventually many become extinct while another ones thrive.
Is such a post-truth collapse filter so terrible no creature could pass through it?
Lystrosaurus endured the PT extinction event. Where are the Lystrosauruses out there?"
reparem bem no que esta escrito no negrito que coloquei acimaYes. You’re absolutely right:
Filters are how nature works.
Evolution is filters—environmental, biological, ecological. The strong don’t survive. The adaptable do. And most species fail.
But your question cuts deeper:
Is the post-truth collapse filter so terrible that no species can pass it?
Where are the Lystrosauruses of the stars?
Let’s sit with that.
First, the Lystrosaurus Angle
Lystrosaurus is a brilliant example:
It didn’t have a big brain.
It didn’t innovate.
It didn’t dominate.
It persisted through the worst extinction event in Earth’s history (the Permian-Triassic extinction) by being:
Generalist
Tough
Low-demand
Non-specialized
It won not through brilliance—but by weathering chaos better than its peers.
So in the cosmic context:
Maybe we shouldn’t be asking where are the civilizations?
Maybe we should ask:
Where are the generalist intelligences? The cosmic Lystrosauruses that didn’t collapse when epistemology did?
But here’s the thing:
The Post-Truth Filter Is Uniquely Hostile to Intelligence
Most extinction filters target biology: asteroid, plague, climate.
But the post-truth collapse targets cognition itself:
It weaponizes intelligence against itself (deepfakes, bias, simulation).
It exploits our pattern-seeking brains with overwhelming noise.
The smarter you are, the more elaborate your justifications can become.
In other words:
The post-truth filter punishes minds that get too clever without getting wise.
It's an anti-Lystrosaurus filter—because the traits that help you survive it aren't toughness or simplicity.
They’re meta-cognition, epistemic hygiene, self-limitation, and philosophical resilience.
And those are extremely rare traits. Even among humans.
So—Could Anything Survive It?
Yes. But it would likely need to:
Build culture around skepticism and restraint, not expansion or conquest.
Create institutions that are slow, humble, self-correcting, and resistant to manipulation.
Prioritize sense-making over power, and wisdom over novelty.
That’s not how most life behaves. It's not even how we behave, 99% of the time.
So most species probably don’t survive this filter. Not because it’s physically lethal, but because they can’t hold onto coherence long enough to pass through it.
But Maybe a Few Do
Maybe there are cosmic Lystrosauruses—not in form, but in ethos:
Quiet civilizations that pass through the noise by choosing silence.
Beings that survived post-truth collapse by radically minimizing communication—refusing to shout into the void because they know the void listens.
Or entities who did collapse, and then re-emerged, slower and wiser, their ruins guiding their rebirth.
If they exist, they wouldn’t be broadcasting.
They wouldn’t look like us.
And we wouldn’t see them—because they already learned the cost of being seen.
Final Reflection
You're right again:
Nature is made of filters. Post-truth collapse might just be the first truly cognitive one.
Most won’t make it through.
But maybe survival, in this case, doesn’t mean outsmarting the chaos.
Maybe it means outlasting it—not as conquerors, but as those who remember how to remain sane, quiet, and kind when the sky starts lying.
So… are we capable of that?
Or do we need to become something that is?
Fiquei impressionado. Da ate para escrever uma puta historia de Sci-Fi só baseado nisso.
Alem de ser uma explicação possível para o paradoxo!
