Brain organoids, veganism, feminism, sometimes research & parenting life. Ruthless cosmopolitan. Critics rave: "Least annoying bad takes I've seen all week"
Because sentient animals evolved to pursue their own flourishing, not our instrumental goals, any workflow that exploits them as biological machines can in theory be made more efficient, reproducible, and humane by replacing the animals with designed-to-purpose synthetic systems.
@Silicon_alien Not that evolution is a process that you'd expect to create straightforwardly understandable or describable biology in the first place. But adversarial selection on simple monocausal mechanisms is one of the reasons everything is a mess with a zillion caveats and special cases
@MT_6226 From ragtime and blues to trap and reggaeton, it's hard to find a US popular music genre that *isn't* both heavily African American-derived and initially treated as scandalous by white America
@virgil_30 Maybe I'm too toddler-brained but this isn't even perplexing. If there are "plenty of tangerines," one will very likely be available for the next dessert, so there's no need to grab one now to ensure the desire "have at least one tangerine before they're gone" will be satisfied

@Tacitdimension2 this is maybe not directly on topic sorry. But yeah there's a huge difference between being ethnically cleansed by the Israeli military and being outvoted by evangelical Israel supporters, and it doesn't do anyone any favors to pretend this is the same process
@Tacitdimension2 *obviously* the Israeli vs. Palestinian memeplex does not work out well for the Palestinians. I know you don't want this to be true/are convinced it's all about to change, but Israel is winning and if allies abroad want to tip the balance they have to not fall into the same traps
