@RealMattCouch Evolution cannot solve problems that occur after the average age of reproduction. Your genes have never been in organisms older than 40 years, so they have no data of what happens afterward. That is one reason humans only have two sets of teeth and why we age.
@feikcel@neuromancer_twi Да какое тут оборудование. Один и тот же сорт картофеля, например, может в зависимости от урожая содержать разное количество калорий на тот же вес. Сколько попадет в какую пачку невозможно посчитать точно и заранее.
I have to admit: I’m not sure I understand what “art” is.
I used to make images to learn tools and prove what I could do. Now the tools solve most problems, and final results can be generated in seconds.
So I’m left looking for new meanings and can't find them.
If I’m probably simulated because simulated minds would outnumber base-reality minds, wouldn’t it also mean non-human animals probably lack real consciousness? They vastly outnumber us, yet I’m human. Being 1 out of 1 is much more probable than 1 out of thousands or billions.
I keep thinking about something I learned a few days ago: brain damage can leave people able to write, but unable to read. Now when someone seems blind to the obvious, I’m less sure it’s a metaphor.
@reset_by_peer Those side don't understand how dire the situation is and how much everybody would require to change their behavior if true. Thus must be false.
@Spleenface How many people claim they'd vote red and secretly vote blue? Zero? No upside to this. Other way around? More than half of them based on what we know on sociology. You'll get all the rewards, 0 risks and only tweak the results by a tiny amount (tragedy of the commons)
@johnpalmer "If you assume that much more than 50% of the world are living in low-trust societies and focused on personal survival first — you are a terrible, horrible monster who just wants to kill people! Your desire to not blindly trust and verify is ruining society!"
@Sonrilol@plasmarob You just said you might kill yourself for ideological reasons. Seek some help. Go to a therapist. Make your life better. Don't engage in risky behavior. Do not ignore this sign, if your ideology leads you to knowingly kill yourself for the cause - change your ideology.
@Sonrilol@plasmarob If you'd made deep analysis and come to a conclusion that blue would barely got to 15%, nowhere near 50%, would you try to convince your friends to vote blue and would vote blue for the cause(keeping in mind that you'd die for sure) or would you ask them to vote red?
