@Jesse_Brenneman So, people may be noting that people who don’t grapple with the implications of the incredible improbability of life coming into being at all seem to think as though some divine agency created organic life or consciousness.

@thezachloeffler The title is appropriate to the level of this chatty discussion.

[Nathan Brown @redwithoutwhy]

@leninology but because I find it shocking and counter-productive that comrades are dismissing this concern, just like the current president of the United States.

[Nathan Brown @redwithoutwhy]

@leninology the evolution of AI systems and robotic capacities resulting in the production of a successor species. No one is being an idiot if they take that seriously. I'm engaging with you on this not because because I love to argue on Twitter; I rarely do -->
