There are many humans I'd turn off if it wasn't illegal.
And even more of them I'd turn off only if I knew with certainty that I could turn them back on whenever I want, and that their memories would simply continue where they stopped.
- CatWChainsaw 3y agoBlatantly stating this on top of your other contributions to this thread. I hope you never wonder why "techbros" have the reviled reputation they do, as you're the epitome of it.
- bheadmaster 3y agoWhat did you do in your past that you have to virtue signal so hard to correct it in your head? Every person is capable of murder, that's why murder happens. It's a natural thing, in nature, creatures die and kill every day. The fact that you consider yourself so outstanding and morally erect that you are completely sure that you'd never kill a person and have never wished to only tells me that its likely you had never had any real introspective thought in your life. Of all evil I deem you capable: Therefore I want good from you. Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws.
- CatWChainsaw 3y agoYeah, I wasn't referring to the part you think I was referring to. >And even more of them I'd turn off only if I knew with certainty that I could turn them back on whenever I want, and that their memories would simply continue where they stopped. Certainly a strain of solipsism I've never heard before now, but still pathological.
- bheadmaster 3y agoAn armchair psychologist's opinion on my "pathology" over an internet comment means very little to me, sorry.
- thuuuomas 3y agoFrame this - iconic. How many people would you estimate are deserving of your judgement? “Billions”?
- starttoaster 3y agoI, like most people here (I presume), do not murder. But can you truly say you have never met a person, or got to know them really well, and thought, “this person doesn’t deserve oxygen”? I think most can at least somewhat empathize with having that thought.
- ben_w 3y agoAs a few people have said that kind of thing aimed against me, I'm rather more inclined to push back against such vitriol.
- starttoaster 3y agoI disagree that this is vitriol, and would rather argue it’s natural to have dark thoughts that one does not actually act on. We’re all just a bunch of animals that developed strong moral codes and varying abilities to process complex thoughts.
- bheadmaster 3y agoWell, if you've never wished for the death of the people that wish you death, there might be something wrong with your self-preservation instinct.
- ben_w 3y agoThere's an "or" in "fight or flight".
- bheadmaster 3y agoThere are also wishes you never actually act on.
