Wouldn't that be much faster than drowning though?

Surely if they slowly run out of air they won't be fully conscious when there is none.

Can you answer the question: do you think the Chinese (or any nationality) think they're better than you when they won't let you become a citizen? > No. Simply closing their border is not oppressive but just like in the US, it

>> Do you think they think they're better than you? That was not a rhetorical question. > Yes and Hitler obviously preferred aryans --- but there is obviously more to the story. True. There are different levels of racism. Some

With psychedelics, you can wire your brain to believe whatever you want. Of course, if what you believe is at odds with your environment then you're bound to have trouble.

by HKH2 3y ago
Yeah, psychedelics often do make belief systems more consistent (or they break them completely), and consistency is not accuracy.

It's very difficult for a non-Chinese person to get citizenship in China. Chinese people like interacting with people of other races, but it goes without saying that China is for the Chinese. Racism doesn't require a sense of supe

> Counter-argument: 99.996% of Reddit users apparently don't want to be moderators or they already would be, so finding more will be very hard. That was what you said before.

Maybe he's right. We're more or less cursed to fiction, creating connections where there are none and missing the blindingly obvious. What do we have without humility?

How is association special for humans?

by HKH2 3y ago
Thinking by consensus requires guilt by association. Who needs genuine thought? History has ended and we have a mandate to purge the heretics.

I remember when I last used Haskell a few years ago, quite a few packages on Hackage were broken, Cabal was a pain to deal with, and although Stack fixed things, it added to the complexity. I know things have improved since then, but I can&

It's probably so simple you assume the most straightforward understanding of it couldn't possibly be right.

You're still reading them so they must be somewhat valuable to you.

How can you be so sure? Language is not unique to humans.

Writers write books and articles when they haven't got anything to write about. Songwriters write songs when they haven't got anything to sing about. Directors make movies when they haven't got anything to make a movie about.

How many people have stuck to Mastodon?

by HKH2 3y ago
Reddit is not going to change. It seems quite a few people don't mind being abused a bit to get the convenience they want. Nothing's going to happen.

More charitably, attention is zero-sum and we personally have to prioritize if we want to maximize quality. What you said assumes that people will give up on that and jump to coercion. Maybe your cynicism is warranted.

Some religions are teleological (they have purpose mapped out) and you just have to have faith or commit some actions. Others give you some necessary but insufficient tools, because the truths they want to express to you are somewhat ineffa

> Perhaps qualia (subjective experience) is merely a feature of our universe: wherever structure arises, the universe experiences itself (in some commensurate way). What do you mean by 'structure'?

by HKH2 3y ago
We only have a 'stable' reality due to memories and biological characteristics. If you minimized those, you'd have something more radical than the ship of Theseus because eventually it wouldn't even seem like the same sh

Of course there will be variation in what people will accept. For many, near enough is good enough (I was surprised to hear that people had AI partners.) You sound like those people who want AI to mimic human behavior, yet there are so many

Right. It seems it's very rare, even among so-called egalitarians, to find someone that defies cliques, defies the urge to be offended, and lays down their weapons, all for an open conversation.

Has Microsoft ever had any shame? You asked for convenience and you got it, except for this mild inconvenience. Why should we care?
