Is there a name for this stance on existence and incomprehensibility? in c/philosophy@lemmy.world

I think many kids did but to what point, I certainly thought it was unexplainable but to suggest the possibility of my own experience not be truly my own, no. I believed for a long time my subjective experience existed and is in physical reality therefore atheism is the logical conclusion.

If you accept that subjective experience may or may not exist or be all sorts of things but never truly know, wouldn't you have to reject atheism and religion. Yet many people subscribe to these beliefs including myself. I don't think it's a given that people don't believe in their subjective existence.

The conclusions of Tao I would be on the same page there, some form of hedonism/utilitarianism to live life by.

I'll give it a read and probably come back with more questions then.

Do you think that it seems like the best conclusion to subjective reality is none then? This question really came from thinking about ideas like the philosophical zombie problem, after chatting with my partner about physical vs non physical consciousness. It seems to me that we are limited to comprehend outside (if there even is an outside) of subjective reality.

This is great! What are your thoughts on Tao Te Ching?

Not sure how to ask this properly, so I’ll just put it plainly.

I (the subjective self) may or may not exist

That doesn’t mean anything, it just is

We can’t really comprehend this, not because we’re missing something

But because the self can’t get outside itself to understand what’s beyond it

Any attempt to do so is already shaped by being a self

I’m not saying this is profound, or depressing, or enlightening

I’m not looking for meaning in it

I just want to know if there’s a name for seeing things this way?

If this kind of stance has ever been named or written about, I’d love to know. The closest Ive found is things like quietism or madhyamaka Buddhism, yet these are very intertwined with belief and meaning.

Does the "Shlilat Ha‑Galut/Old Jew & New Jew" poster(s) exist? (lemmy.world)
 

I've seen an old Zionist propoganda poster depicting a "Old Jew" and the "strong" nationalist "New Jew". Pushing the ideas of muscular judaism and the negation of the diaspora, which I thought I was acquainted with until trying to find this poster! I've searched and asked llms which believe this poster exists but cannot dig it up and sends me a bunch of dead or adjacent links.

So my question is: did this poster exist? And if so can it be sourced?

Open Standard Display Interfaces (lemmy.world)

Hi there!

I'm having a look into creating a FPGA system with purely open standard and open source IPs (as well as open source code on my part). So far I have landed on a really good journal article looking into different open source IPs for the RISC-V open standard here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8760205.

But now I have realized that I need some sort of display interface and can't find anything! I have read that DisplayPort is open-source, but I am pretty sure this only relates to the interface protocols and not the actual hardware itself. I may be wrong on this but I haven't been able to easily find anything on their standard licensing rules, other than a licence for their logo and brand name which doesn't seem very compatible with the ethos of the project.

Perhaps USB-C is the best solution.

Is anyone aware of any display interfaces that I could implement? I do not have a lot experience in video interfaces so would like some suggestions from people who likely know a lot more than I do :)
