shrug. some people would rather be addicted and feel like they are a part of something than be independent. sure, my social life has been hurt by refraining from facebook for a decade. but there's no question i'm a stronger person

meh, as usual my opinion is the opposite here. step one, don't become wrapped up in the ideal of being "a writer". find something useful to say, then say it forcefully. or just churn out garbage to pay the bills. nobody else

sigh, what about the active patterns, yo. brains aren't static connections of neurons when they're alive. they have hojillions of firing patterns, some of which are cyclical and constant, other of which are transient and tiny. the

well, let's just cut the philosophical debate in half here. "you" have a chain of consciousness that is unique to your body. you destroy that body, and that chain of consciousness ends. re-assembling it elsewhere perfectly do

it isn't feasible. here is why: imagine that we create a perfect copy of a person who is alive. there is now person A, and person B, who are identical. but being identical does not imply shared sensations. if you pinch person A, person

nah new business generation is way, way down. the reason why is precariousness. if you don't have a margin large enough to risk starting a new business, a new business isn't started.

unfortunately some people are boot lickers by nature. or perhaps they need to believe facebook is innocent to justify what they're working on.
